Castello Gulici Porec
Inland self-catering base near Baredine Cave
About this hotel
This three-star property sits inland toward Baredine Cave, roughly nine minutes by taxi from the cave itself, a genuinely different setting from Poreč's coastal and old-town properties. Kitchen facilities in some rooms suit longer, self-catering stays, useful for travellers planning day trips around inland Istria rather than a beach-focused holiday. Pet-friendly rooms widen who can book it, and free parking matters more here than at any coastal property, since a car becomes close to essential for reaching the old town or the resort belt from this position. Restoran Dvi Murve sits a seven-minute walk away for dinner without cooking. Rooms lean simple and functional, with air conditioning covering the summer heat, and the overall pace here runs quieter and more rural than anywhere closer to the coast.

Our take
Castello Gulici Porec is a quiet three-star base inland from Poreč, roughly nine minutes by taxi from Baredine Cave, with a 9.4 score from 72 reviews. Some rooms have a kitchen for longer self-catering stays, and free Wi-Fi, free parking and air conditioning are included. Pets are welcome. I would book it with a car for exploring inland Istria. If you want a beach, a pool or the old town on foot, stay closer to the coast.
- ✓Rent a car before booking here, since reaching the old town or the coast without one adds real difficulty.
- ✓Plan a day trip to Jama - Grotta Baredine early in your stay, it sits just nine minutes away by taxi.
- ✓Use the kitchen facilities if staying more than a few nights, since dining options nearby run limited.

Why guests love itThis property serves a different traveller than most of Poreč's listings, one prioritising inland Istria over the coastline, with Baredine Cave a short taxi ride away and kitchen facilities for longer, self-catering stays. It's quieter and more rural than anywhere near the old town or the resort belt, which suits travellers planning day trips by car rather than a beach holiday. The trade-off is clear: no pool, no beach access and a genuine need for a car, in exchange for a lower rate and a calmer, less touristy setting.
