This was our home base for 3 wonderful days exploring the best of Istria. The hotel itself is very well appointed and the pool and spa provide very welcome relaxation. The restaurant offers highly interesting locally-sourced dishes (the wild asparagus ice cream is a must) prepared by a very proficient young chef. We greatly enjoyed the total experience!

We stayed here for 2 nights whilst on a walking holiday in Croatia. The hotel was only opened a few years ago and maintains a very high standard of decor in keeping with the location. We had a standard room which though small was ample for our needs. The bedroom was very comfortable with quality furnishings throughout and the bathroom... More

Just superb. By a good margin, the finest hotel we stayed in in Croatia. We stayed for just two days, but would have liked to stay longer. The accommodations themselves were outstanding, but equally good was the highly personal service. The food at the restaurant was some of the best we ate in Croatia too. And sitting outside in the...

The pool and spa area are fantastic but they use a strong chlorine mixture the restaurant food was very good but let down by indifferent service. The waiter and his chums were playing cards at the counter. breakfast also indifferent - no home made stuff when we were... More

All togheter we had a good experience in Vela Vrata. The hotel is nice and charming and the location in the centre of town on the top of the hill is lovely. The rooms are charming, small and the furniture is traditional. The sauna/jacuzzi is wanderfool. When we where there the only tiny problems were the pool slightly to cold... More

This was our first time in Istria. The Hotel Vela Vrata is just inside the old gate to Buzet, one of Istria's most beautiful, and least touristy, hilltop towns. The hotel overlooks the valley below; the rooms are beautifully decorated; and the staff is among the friendliest I've met in years of traveling. If you really want to pamper yourself,... More

This has always been a favourite destination for my family visiting me in Slovenia. Buzet is a short drive from Ljubljana to this delightful ancient hilltop town in Croatia from which we are able to explore the western coastal towns such as Rovinj, Premantura and Pula. The hotel is absolutely gorgeous and the new swimming pool and stylish restaurant have... More

Vela Vrata is located on the top of the hill in Buzet with great views over the surroundings. It is a very cute boutique hotel with very personal service and ambitious cooking. We stayed for three nights, doing daytrips around Istria and returning to Vela Vrata in the evenings and had all our dinners there. By far the best food... More
