Beautiful, spacious apartment in a beautiful location. Lots of nice touches in the apartment including a washer/dryer, DVD player with some American movies, fully stocked kitchen equipment and bathroom toiletries. A short walk to the antique Castello area with museums and a beautiful panoramic view. Close to a daily market as well. Lots of shopping and great restaurants nearby. Walking distance to the port (we took an overnight ferry), but it is an uphill walk. I recommend taking a taxi up if you have lots of luggage. But for getting around town and to the bus/train station it is an easy, beautiful walk. Poetto Beach is close and easy to reach by bus or cab & the Nora ruins are about an hour bus ride away in Pula (bus ticket can be bought near the port-about 3 euros for ticket). There is also a gorgeous beach by the ruins in Pula. Vilasimius is also a breathtaking beach that is about a 1 hour 45 min bus ride (tickets about 4 euro). All the beaches are gorgeous, you can see wild pink flamingos on the bus rides to the beaches, and the people are very friendly. It was a comfortable, gorgeous place to come back and relax after fun beach days and delicious Italian cuisine.
