Isabella Island Castle
Sea-view rooms on the island, water on three sides
About this hotel
Open Adriatic water surrounds this five-star property on three sides, a short boat crossing from Poreč's old harbour reaching the island a minute's walk from the landing. Streamlined rooms here look outward toward the sea rather than inland toward the island's pine cover, a sharper focus on the outlook than its two island neighbours offer at the same price point. Dining and a pool deck sit alongside the same short boat crossing, with several rooms closer to open water than the equivalent categories elsewhere on the island. Free breakfast and full-service laundry round out the stay, and free parking waits on the mainland side for guests arriving by car before the crossing. This is the sea-view specialist among Poreč's three island hotels, built for travellers who want the outlook above all else.

Our take
Isabella Island Castle is the five-star stay I would pick on Sveti Nikola island, off Poreč, for the view: streamlined rooms look over open Adriatic water on three sides, a minute's walk from the boat landing. Free breakfast, free parking on the mainland and full-service laundry are included, and a 9.6 score from 204 reviews is excellent. I would book it for couples who want the sea all around; evenings in town depend on the boat.
- ✓Request a sea-facing room specifically at booking, since the view varies more here between room categories than elsewhere.
- ✓Confirm the boat crossing schedule if planning any old-town evenings during your stay on the island.
- ✓Pack light for the walk between the boat landing and your room, the island paths favour pedestrians.

Why guests love itIsabella Island Castle stands on Sveti Nikola island, a short boat ride from Poreč and a minute's walk from the landing, so families arrive by sea and leave the car on the mainland, where parking is free. Rooms look over open Adriatic water on three sides, breakfast is included, and laundry service helps on longer stays. The 9.6 rating from about 200 reviews is excellent. I would book it for families who want a car-free island stay with Poreč old town a boat hop away.
