Description
Set right on the sea, and nestled amongst green pine trees, this hotel looks onto an expansive national park. Vast windows in the lobby offer an enticing view of the stunning coastal scenery and lend an open feel to the hotel which is built on four different levels to blend in with the landscape.
The hotel has 99 rooms and 14 suites. The rooms are designed in a contemporary style with natural colours and materials and the large bathrooms are luxurious and stylish. The two restaurants offer interesting and delicious cuisine, with traditional Croatian ingredients fused with international influences. The main restaurant and lobby bar have panoramic views of the cove and onward to the Adriatic Sea.
The hotel is set in verdant gardens and the swimming pools and sparkling sea are inviting on a typical sunny day. Croatia is renowned for its lovely clear water and its pebbly beaches and you can swim off a public pontoon in front of the hotel. Or if you are feeling adventurous you can walk or cycle with a picnic into the national park to find hidden beaches. The coast is also covered with little islands, perfect for exploring from one of the small boats that are available to hire locally.
The medieval town of Rovinj is rich in cultural and historical heritage and is just a 15-minute walk along a sea front boardwalk from the hotel. You can walk to the town in the early evening for an aperitif or stay for dinner and eat in one of the many Italian influenced restaurants.
The vast spa, arranged over three floors offers the perfect setting in which to relax after a hard day of basking in the sun and swimming in the azure sea.
