Hotel Parentino Poreč
A pleasant 4-star hotel set among the pine trees of Zelena Laguna resort south of Poreč, with beach access, outdoor pools, mini-golf and a kids' club. Good for families.
Hotel Parentino Poreč is a four-star hotel situated within the Zelena Laguna resort complex, a large self-contained holiday area set among pine forests approximately 5 km south of Poreč's old town on the Istrian coast in Croatia. The hotel takes its name from Parentium, the ancient Roman settlement that predated Poreč. Zelena Laguna occupies a sheltered bay and wooded peninsula with a mix of rocky and pebble beaches accessible from the resort grounds.
The hotel building is a modern structure set within the resort's broad pine-shaded layout. The position among the trees provides a naturally cool and shaded environment that is particularly valued during the heat of the Istrian summer in July and August. Paved paths and an internal road system connect the hotel buildings, the beach, the pool complex and shared resort amenities.
Accommodation at Hotel Parentino includes standard double rooms, superior rooms and family rooms that accommodate up to four or five guests. Rooms include air conditioning, WiFi, satellite television and en-suite facilities. Balconies are available in many categories. The hotel is part of the broader Plava Laguna resort group, which manages shared amenities across the Zelena Laguna site.
The outdoor pool complex is a central amenity, supplemented by direct beach access via the resort's rocky and pebble shore. A dedicated children's pool and playground make this a practical choice for families. The kids' club operates supervised programmes through the main summer season. Mini-golf is available within the resort grounds, alongside tennis courts, beach volleyball, table tennis and bicycle hire.
Dining at Hotel Parentino is provided through the resort's main buffet restaurant and a summer grill with beach access. Breakfast buffets are a highlight, extensively supplied with local Istrian products including cheeses, cured meats and seasonal fruit. A poolside bar and a beach bar operate through the summer season.
Poreč's historic old town, with its UNESCO Euphrasian Basilica and Roman Decumanus street, is accessible by seasonal boat taxi or by bicycle along a dedicated coastal cycling path. The hotel suits families and groups seeking a relaxed, activity-rich base in Istria at a mid-range price point.
