4-star hotels in Bale
A shortlist of the 4-star hotels and guesthouses in Bale, Istria, from the medieval core to the vineyards and olive groves outside it. It is for travellers who want a quiet Istrian base, whether for a couple of nights in the old town or a longer stay with a pool.
Staying in Bale
Bale is a small inland village about 5 kilometers from the Adriatic coast, known for its well-preserved medieval old town with its castle and stone walls and for its wine and olive oil production. It makes a peaceful alternative to the busier coastal resorts of Istria, with local restaurants and cafes concentrated in and around the old town, and larger towns such as Rovinj and Poreč within easy reach for more shopping or services. The nearest beaches lie along the western Istrian coast near Rovinj. Hotel La Grisa, App & Rooms Juraga and Guesthouse Bale are in the old town itself, within the medieval walls and a short walk from the centre. Relais And Wine San Tommaso, Camping Homes Mon Perin, Exclusive Villa Tomani with Private Pool and Holiday Home Loreta by Interhome lie in the surrounding countryside, among vineyards and olive groves. Villa Altra and Holiday Home Amber by Interhome stand further out. The old-town addresses suit couples and short breaks on foot, while the villas and holiday homes with private pools and family rooms suit families and longer, self-catering stays.
