Astra

For the price before the season, these apartments are a good deal. The beach is close, and the Wi-Fi reaches most of the apartment blocks. The rooms are decent and have what you need for a stay.

The beach is within walking distance, and the shops have fair prices. In Porec, there’s also a nice market selling local handmade food, including olive oil, sausage, fruit and vegetables, along with small, pleasant coffee shops. The apartment itself was a shock: it felt like stepping back into the 1980s, with dated furniture and interiors, a small fridge and no air conditioning. The terraces are tiny and right beside the neighbors’, so there’s no privacy, and there are thousands of people packed into a small area.

I really liked the apartment, especially how close it is to the gorgeous beach. Nights were uncomfortable, though: it gets very hot inside without air conditioning, and noise from the local party stage was loud.

There’s a fully equipped kitchen and you have what you need nearby. The apartment is small but can fit four people. For the price, it’s fair enough, though the room and bathroom were old and not very clean.
