Simple, yet ample Apartments Kanegra are shaded by the ancient pines that go all the way to the white pebble beach offering stunning views of the entire Savudrijska Vala bay in Istria. Locals consider it one of the most beautiful beaches in the area - so if you're not fussy about luxury, can handle simple, but functional kitchens and bathrooms, you'll love it at Kanegra this summer. When you feel peckish after a nice swim, there is a cozy restaurant near the beach, shaded by thatched parasols, serving all kinds of European fare. If you enjoy jogging, Nordic walking, cycling and other sports, there will never be a dull moment for you while on holiday. You also can go on a day excursion, like zip lining in Pazin or the Istralandia Aquapark with the kids. You could walk down to the sea every morning, meditate, work out and swim in the sun - all before breakfast. Recommended for people looking for a quiet holiday in a rural area, especially families and those looking for good value fo
Star ratings are intended to indicate the general level of features, amenities, and services to expect. This property is classified according to Giata.
Firstly, the location is really nice, very close to the Slovenian border, and the swimming in particular is excellent; a pine forest surrounds the lagoon creating shade, and there's lots of space to base yourself. The water is very clear. In the distance you can see the Slovenian coast with the resort of Portorož across. There's a decent taverna, the fish was nice; plus another place where you can have a drink or a simple meal. There's also a small cafe on the beach. Be aware that the beach is made of quite thick and sharp stones so it's essential to have beach shoes, entering the water could pose a problem if you have poor mobility. Parking is generally available close to the apartments. Now the negatives. The staff aren't very friendly, at least in my experience. The apartment we got was rather shoddy and for 130+ euros a night we expected better. Microwave: broken. Fridge not very good. Toilet sear broke. The next day the toilet flush broke. The clothes drier was rusty and broken. The power plugs are a bit awkward (difficulty plugging my adaptor). No aircon, no fans. Limited crockery and limited glasses and cups. No carving knife. No bottle opener. Only two convection heaters to cook. Limited pans. Very basic. To be fair most of these issues were fixed when we asked, but it's not exactly good.

Our bungalow for 5 people was surprisingly very clean and the bungalow was cleaned by the cleaning crew twice a week. We spent 11 nice days there. The beach front was equally very clean and the water quality, perfect. We totally enjoyed the food at the Lama restaurant which is just a few meters away from the beach front. Never a dull time at the resort. If you enjoy jogging, Nordic walking, cycling and so on, you've got plenty of space to do it. The holiday would have been perfect if we didn't have to pay for the Wi-Fi in order to have access to the internet. We spent almost €18.00 per person for 10 days for the Wi-Fi. The bungalows themselves are nice with ageing furnitures and sometimes, depending on where your bungalow is,you have to drive uphill to get there. Most guests like us have to carry our luggages uphill to the bungalow. It was very strenuous. We enjoyed our stay here and will probably visit again in the nearest future.

Very quiet during our stay,family orientated and dog friendly if you are willing to pay.Beach is nice ,food ans staff in taverna excellent.You have everything that you will need without having to use the car and have a proper break.Bungalows are old but if your expectations are not very high you will have a great break.I would visit again because I liked the peacefully atmosphere although all bungalows we occupied there was no issue with being overcrowded or noisy _something that happens in most expensive hotels.

THE WORST pizza I have ever eaten in my life. Frozen pizza from Lidl tastes better. Horrible. Never again. It literally gave a stomach ache to my sister. I advice you to avoid this restaurant, buy something in a supermarket, it‘s a better idea.

A small camp site, 10 km outside UMAG, with a very busy camp road with non stop people and car traffic during the day. Loads of non-naturist promenading unchallenged.
Sanitary blocks need maintenance.
Thumping disco music from across the bay starting noon till sunrise the next day.
'Tavern Natura' we can recommend for service, food and price.

Hello, we spent 4 days in Kanegra resort in early July. Kanegra apartments are located near the city of Umag and Portoroz (Slovenia). Our apartment was close to the beach and restaurant - 300 meters.The beach is filled with stones, but good for swimming. Be careful, Kanegra apartments are not 3 stars, but max.1 star! The furniture was very worn and dated. The apartment was clean, rooms are good size, without airconditioning and need to be renovated.

The staff is very unfriendly. The appartments are old and not well-equiped. The beds are old and noisy. It's built on hillside, the appartments are all at the top so you need to climb way too much every time you want to buy food, want to swim or whatever you want. But honestly you don't feel like leaving your room because on the way back you'll feel you want to throw your lungs up. The only good thing is Taverna Lama which has a good kitchen and a sweet blond waitress.

While the nature and surrounding is just the best, when you enter the apartment you can esee the time rest there in 1980s ... There is no sign of 21 century. The kitchen is very poor, we had not even a glasses for a drink. There is a woden hammer for a meat but no board where to use it, or even cut a bread. Forniture is from the beginning of their business, with a smell of humidity and mold, cheers are cranky. Spiders and other 4 legged friends seems to be a part of a rent agreement - but could be easily controlled with a fly screens... No cleaning service in the time of our stay. The price seems to be reasonable at this time, but in high season it grows up too much and on my opinion is too expensive for what they ofer. You can bring a dog with, but there in the entrance on the beach are signs: forbidden for a dogs !!! Don't know if I ll go there again-

A chip place to spend a night. It is difficult to find, if it's not in Umag, itis a resort next to Umag. Sea is far away, pillows and bathroom are horrible, dirty and unpleasant. But it is really chip and comfortable, if you are traveling to Italy.
