Hotel Park in Rovinj, Croatia: I Stayed Here For The View

Most of the times, it is the view that matters. I mean, really. This was the case with the hotel I stayed at in Rovinj, Croatia last March. With a beautiful place like this, you cannot just let it pass. Must enjoy every moment. Must savour the view.

This is the stunning Rovinj in Istria, Croatia. Still a hidden gem to many international tourists (except for Italians who come here often and neighbouring countries). The hotel is on the upper right hand of the picture (see modern building with a yacht harbour).

And so I did savour in the moment and the view =)

The hotel however has surely seen better days, it needs uplifting in the rooms. I was not very fond of the bath and toilet as well, but I stayed here mainly because of the views. I booked a double room with a balcony on the harbour facing Rovinj. They are priced a lot more expensive than the rooms with a garden view but that does not matter. The view to the ancient town is more important when you are here. I mean, just look at that view.

So I woke up everyday here with Rovinj as my view from my bed. I have breakfast everyday in the restaurant with Rovinj as the view as well. So pretty. One of my unforgettable views.

Another reason why I booked here is because they have free parking. The old centre of Rovinj is pedestrian zone thus it is difficult to find a hotel there with free parking, let alone has parking facilities. I was not in the mood to be dragging my suitcase around town.

Do you think I made the right decision?

In front of the hotel is a yacht harbour.

Isn’t Rovinj just stunning? The locals swear that Rovinj is the prettiest town in Croatia. It is Rovinj they are proud of, not Dubrovnik. These pictures were taken on the first day I arrived.

The gorgeous view from my bed of course =)

Rovinj is part of the road trip I did last March in Croatia and Slovenia.

Below is the route I took so far to reach here (you can move the map with your mouse and zoom it in or out as well). I picked up the rental car in Zagreb airport and stayed in Zagreb then drove to Rovinj via Opatija where I stopped for lunch. Opatija is like the Cannes – St. Tropez of Croatia.

I stayed here in Rovinj for 3 days and 2 nights.

My rental car, a Fiat sedan. Drives fine. Oops, do not mind my parking manners, hehe.

The terrace has a stunning view of Rovinj. March is low season so the hotel was not full at all.

Not bad for a breakfast view huh.

I love salamis, pickles, cheese, olives and those dried figs. The latter is a specialty in Croatia.

A message for me: Make yourself necessary to somebody. Hmmm…

More vegetables for breakfast please.

I mean you would want to have a hotel with a view like this right? This picture was taken on my last day in Rovinj, with terrific sunny blue skies. Beautiful.
