Rovinj Riviera – Holidays Between Romance and the Sea

Rovinj – Holidays Between Culture, Nature and Comfortable Accommodation

One of Croatia’s most romantic spots stretches along the west coast of Istria between the Lim Bay, hilly hinterland and the Adriatic. Rovinj, the picturesque town with Venetian traditions, lies on a peninsula surrounded by small islands, just a few kilometers from the Lim Bay. Surrounded by the sea, protective walls and watchtowers, the town exudes a timeless charm – and so does the Riviera of the same name.

Besides the scenic location between beautiful bays, protected forests, exciting diving spots and pine-lined cycling routes, it is also the rich historical heritage that makes the region so attractive. Visitors admire today the cityscape shaped by Renaissance, Baroque and Neoclassicism. A highlight is the picturesque harbor, where excursion boats and fishing boats sway gently. A boat trip is worthwhile because the city with its towering campanile and colorful façades looks enchanting from the water.

The small streets and alleys of the old town invite visitors to wander and discover traces of the long Venetian rule. Many guests start their stay in Rovinj in carefully selected holiday apartments, studios, rooms, apartments or holiday homes in the old town or along the Riviera.

Activities and Events Around Your Accommodation

The best view over the entire Riviera is from the nearly 60-meter-high church tower, the Campanile. In April, the Red Bull Air Race takes place, a spectacular aviation event that attracts visitors worldwide. Rovinj’s location and climate make it an ideal hotspot for pilots and adventure seekers.

Rural Peace and Pleasure in Rovinjsko Selo

Just ten kilometers from Rovinj lies Rovinjsko Selo, a small village with stunning views over the coast and fertile hinterland. Vineyards and country estates invite relaxation, and traditions are highly valued. Private holiday apartments and houses are especially popular, offering guests the rural charm of the Riviera. After hiking, cycling, or a trip to the Lim Bay, grilled seafood or hearty stews paired with local wines taste even better under the open sky.
