Villa Mara

Forty metres from the Adriatic shore on Rovinj's quieter southern fringe, Villa Mara offers self-contained apartments with private entrances, terraces, and full kitchens — a practical alternative to the hotel-dense old town peninsula two kilometres north.

Each apartment carries tile floors, a dining area, sofa, and balcony angled toward the garden or inner courtyard. BBQ facilities and outdoor furniture on the shared patio make the property suited to longer stays; the kitchen comes stocked with a toaster, kettle, and full kitchenware.

Cocaletto sits within walking distance of a pebbly beach and a short drive from Rovinj's harbour market, where local fishers sell the morning catch. Check-in opens at 14:00; checkout is 09:00, tighter than most Istrian apartments.
