Revera Rooms

Forty-eight steps of narrow Istrian street separate Revera Rooms from Rovinj's old town walls, on Ulica Vladimira Švalbe just off the peninsula's harbour side — a compact three-star base for couples and drivers who'd rather park once than circle the historic core.

Rooms keep it simple: air conditioning, flat-screen TVs, private bathrooms with fresh linens and toiletries supplied daily, and a refrigerator for market produce bought at the nearby waterfront stalls.

The smoke-free property sits within easy walking distance of Rovinj's bell tower and the harbour promenade, with the bar downstairs a low-key stop before or after dinner.
