Amazing location

The apartment was a perfect space for our visit and the location was stellar. Dad Zelko was so kind to meet us at the ferry terminal and personally check us in to the apartment and give us quick lay of the town. We loved the hospitality and loved our visit! The AC and washer was also a huge bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

The service offered by Zeljka and Zelenko was amazing! From the meeting at the entrance to the city, the escort to the apartment, the welcome mandarins, many recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and responding to our many questions, we had a terrific stay. We had everything we needed. The location is fantastic. The apartment was just the right size. It’s not brand new and shiny; it felt very homey. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Amazing Stay in Rovinj - Great Host

My wife and I spent 5 nights here before heading to the Italian Dolomites. Zeljka and her father were awesome. Extremely responsive and helpful and very easy to deal with. We had some flight and luggage problems and the host was amazing with our arrival changes. The apartment is well equipped, clean and literally in the heart of the Old City. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would come back and stay again without hesitation. Excellent place.

The host bent over backwards to take care of us. We came in the late evening, and the host's father met us, helped carry our bags, and helped us find parking. He shared his grandson's toy helicopter so our 3-year old could play with it. Really grateful.

The apt was just as described and in a great location, near all the shops, restaurants and waterfront, but also tucked away enough that it was private and quiet. The apt had everything we could possibly need. Our host was amazing, from start to finish. Her father met us when we arrived, helped us find our apt, and gave us a quick tour of the area. Throughout our stay, our host was attentive to our questions and gave us lots of helpful suggestions about places to go and things to see. We highly recommend!

Best location and host for an unforgettable stay

Every once in a while you find a gem. This rental was one of those times. The unit is in the best location center old town to move for all things Rovinj. The host is the nicest family you will ever meet. They met us outside the city, escorted us into the apartment, The apartment is nice size and has all the things you expect in a fully stocked kitchen, washing machine, soap. coffee. Beach towels and mats. Bed was comfortable and there were 3 windows facing the old town vibe, steps away from Pier and in town Restuarant’s and shops.

Nice Apartment, Great Location

This one-bedroom apartment in old town Rovinj is perfectly located to get to all restaurants, harbor and ferries, or just explore the narrow streets, shops, and squares lined with cafes and restaurants. Washing machine and air conditioner a major plus. In addition, our hosts were always available to answer any questions (usually within a few minutes of texting), and help with maps, luggage, parking, etc. We were there for three weeks and had a wonderful stay.

Perfect!

Zelko, Zelijka’s dad met us right when we arrived and helped us carry our bags up. Incredibly kind and helpful, showed us everything to do. Zelijka called and made sure we arrived alright, all so nice. The place was amazing, right in the heart of town. We walked everywhere. Rovinj was one of our favorite places in Croatia. There’s no shortage of amazing views and restaurants. Zelko met us the next day and helped us take our luggage down, even driving us to the car rental place. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else I. Rovinj. If we make it back we’ll definitely be reaching back out to Zelijka and Zelko.

Zelko was a very helpful tour guide providing much information about the city sights as well as all details of the apartment. He reappeared at the agreed upon time to help us with luggage and our departure. The apartment location was delightful.

About the host

Hosted by Zeljka

Host profile image
I am Croatian from Rovinj, who enjoys travelling, culture, historical buildings and reading, and I am inspired by Rovinj Old Town where my apartments Arco Vecchio and sea view apartments are situated. My father Zelko is a great help in assisting our guests at the apartments and providing local, out of guide tips, so you can really discover this gem. I currently live in Porec where I work as a hotel general manager, and I really enjoy the hospitality sector and meeting so many great and inspiring people.

Why they chose this property

It took me a long time to choose my two favorite spots in Rovinj with such a unique location, the lovely view and a good vibe, so today I am glad to be able to offer my two homes to travelers from all over the world who want to feel the real spirit of the Old Rovinj, being in the heart of it all.

What makes this property unique

If you like art, history, cobbled streets, hidden gems and lovely food, this is a place to stay! Enjoy.
