Stara Sola Korte

Above Portorož, Piran and Izola, this modern hostel is housed in a newly refurbished former elementary school. Enjoy great beaches, beautiful vistas and numerous other options for active holidays.

The air-conditioned and colourfully styled rooms provide for a comfortable stay and optimal relaxation after a day of swimming or hiking and biking through the picturesque natural surroundings. Apart from culinary delights, Slovenian Istria offers you a host of cultural and historic sights, easy to explore from this inviting hostel.

Antal rum: 17
Pris: 40 - 84 EUR

The 4-bedded rooms have bunk beds and twin rooms have 2 single beds which can be pushed together upon request. Most of the rooms are equipped with a TV and a fridge and have a private bathroom with shower and toilet.

The hostel has its own kitchen with a spacious dining room, where all meals from breakfast to dinner are available.

There are also 2 restaurants located close to the hostel (200 metres). They offer a variety of local dishes for every taste and budget.

Apart from a very practical location in the vicinity of all the three coastal towns (Koper, Izola and Piran), Korte also offers tranquillity and nature of the genuine Istrian countryside. The surrounding countryside with the Šavrinsko gricevje hills offers a truly beautiful view.

The village consists of two parts. The Lower Village (Dolnja vas), where the houses on the pier huddle around the “jugna” (an open air dancing area), contains two prominent buildings: the skyscraper (neboticnik), which stands next to the road Koper-Buje, and the baroque house that dates back to 1738.

In the Upper Village (Gornja vas) stands the church of St. Anton the Hermit, which prides itself with baroque Bigocci altars from 1468. The church is very acoustic and suitable for concerts.

We are currently designing additional and extremely fun programmes for all who visit the youth hostel Old School Korte. Apart from a simple holiday we will be offering sports activities (cycling, horseback riding, hiking …) as well as culinary and historical activities (visits to an oil mill, a tour of a typical Istrian farm and the local villages, tasting of typical Istrian wines and a visit to the wine cellars).
