Truly a villa. Our room was large, our bed firm and comfortable, the view out our window impressive. Not a lot to see in Lovran, though. We had dinner in their dining room and had an excellent meal with wonderful service. It was kind of cool to imagine living in one of the old villas lining the shore--the Villa Astra... More

The Villa Astra is billed as a historic spa hotel, which is not entirely untrue. It is in a historic building and it does have a spa, and a wonderful sea-water pool, and access to the Adriatic down a few steps, but the hotel is relatively new. Maybe I am being a little churlish as we really enjoyed our stay... More

If you want a boutique hotel in Istria, I do believe this is the best one. But I am torn about what rating to give this hotel. Ideally, I’d give it 3 ½ stars. There are many aspects of Villa Astra that were quite nice, but in terms of a four star hotel, there were also a few things that,... More

We stayed here for three nights at the beginning of June as our base in Istria and were very pleased with our stay. The best thing about the hotel is the staff - they were extremely friendly and made sure we had absolutely everything we needed. For me, service is just about the most important thing when I am on...

We stayed here because the Lovran area near Opatija had been recommended as charming and quiet, and we liked the website of this small hotel. It was just as if we were staying in a private and luxurious villa. The rooms were large with great views of the sea and very luxurious. The food was innovative and fresh from the... More

This converted seaside mansion had 6 large rooms with contemporary furniture. Fine view of the Istrian coastline. Service was excellent. Breakfasts were elegant and delicious. Adjacent to the villa is the paved walkway along the water "Lungomare" which you can take to the small town of Lovran in about 15 minutes. Not much to see there. The grounds of the... More

Don't get me wrong, "Villa Astra" is a beautiful historic building located in a very romantic park overlooking the sea. It has all the charm you request when select this place, it's maybe one of the nicest places to "calm down" - if you need that. The service is superb, fast, attentive, friendly, speaks many languages. About the food I... More

We were in Croatia for a wedding and the reception was hosted at the Villa Astra. We lived there for 4 nights through the wedding and had a great time. The villa is beautiful and very well converted into a nice hotel. Close to Opatija yet secluded with waterfront. The food was great and the chef catered to all of... More

We are a family of 5 and stayed in two rooms at Villa Astra. Although we didn't have as much info on Lovran and the Villa as we would have liked before booking, any worries disappeared when we entered the Villa. The setting is gorgeous, the staff is warm and welcoming. The rooms are huge! We had Josip and Nicolo.... More
