Hotels near Val Salinas, Rovinj

Overall nice stay; positive is definitely the way the hotel is geared towards children, programs are very professional and they loved it. Negatives: for the steep price, we do not find it acceptable that all drinks are payable, including still water which should be included as a minimum. Furthermore, we found food quite repetitive. Also, rooms/public hallways are starting to show their age (dirty carpet stains all over). Finally, the hotel interior is very hot, there seems to be an issue with A/C.

Very good hotel, only a few rooms, very design, very beautiful. Going out for a minute and going to the beautiful bay, this is a great place to watch the sunset. The rooms are fully equipped, but the electric kettle and toothpaste toothbrush need to be provided. The breakfast variety of the hotel is not so delicious, but the taste is very good. The hotel service was in place, the room was cleaned up in time, the hotel owner met us with a warm handshake and asked about the feeling of staying. When we arrived and left the hotel, the waiter sent us to the bus station with a battery car. Every service link can be professionalized. In addition, free travel requires basic oral English communication skills, which is very important.

The hotel has its own restaurant, where breakfast is served, ok. The bed is large and there is no extra bed in the room, but there is a large sofa. The location is good, just beside the pier, the old town is right next to it. The hotel offers free parking but stops in another location. The hotel will help you park your car, and the hotel will have a car to the parking lot. The rooms are clean and tidy, with many warm arrangements, such as room perfumes and small snacks. Recommended.

We stayed in the 1-bedroom apartment with terrace and sea view at the Residence Porta Antica in Rovinj for 2-nights in mid-Apr (€160/night). The residence was perfectly located on the pedestrian walkway on the Rovinj harbour, amid all of the stores and restaurants and backing onto old town for a short hike up to the church. Be sure to arrange with the hotel a pick-up at the parking lot just outside of old town - you can't drive into the historic area, so it is a bit of a haul dragging your luggage over the cobblestones – and they are happy to send someone out in their golf cart. Our 2nd floor suite was perfect, fronted by a wide balcony (the only one in the building) with a table and 2 chairs to enjoy the view over the restaurant below onto the harbour. You enter into a large sitting area and kitchen fronted by two windows and a double glassed door (the room is light and airy) with heritage accents throughout in the high ceilings with dark wood beams, accent walls of huge stone, and antique pieces among the couch (hide-a-bed), table and chairs. The kitchen had a mini-refrigerator, hot plate, pots, cutlery, dishes etc., as well as a pod-coffee maker. The bathroom was small and a bit cramped, as you would expect in a heritage building retrofit with modern conveniences, but comfortably functional. The bedroom was also a bit small, but the queen bed and pillows lulled us into perfect sleep in the quiet nights. The two closets provided plenty of storage space. Breakfast at the Hotel Adriatic (almost next door) was fabulous, the best a la carte selection we have had on this trip. And to top it off, the residence's staff were great, cheerful, friendly, and very helpful with travel planning, restaurants, everything. Overall, stay in this room (none of the others are as nice) – it is a bit more expensive, but the balcony makes all the difference. You will not be disappointed.

I would give this a ”very good” for the property as it was nice and nicer than I expected. The room was equipped with a kitchenette and a really nice big balcony. I was there out of season so couldn't fully appreciate the balcony, but it was a nice outdoor space. What wasn't so good was the check-in process. I booked through **********, and on none of the communications was the name of the rental people (I forget their name now but it began with an A). I duly communicated or tried to communicate through ********** as requested. I explained that I was driving from Zagreb and would let them know when I landed so they knew when to expect me. At that point they made me aware that I would need to go to the office of the rental agency and then be taken to the property. It was dark by the time I arrived and the gateway was right off a main road onto a one way street, having been in the country 4 hours on my own in a hire car, this was not helpful. They didn't respond to the messages through ********** but had at no point given me their direct details which would have helped greatly. Eventually I had to phone a Croation phone number from my English phone (don't know what that's cost me) to be quite rudely asked ”where you are you then ? Did you not follow the instructions”. Which, yes I had, I just didn't know if I was in the right place or not. The chap was out delivering another couple to thir property and he told me to wait and he would come back for me. Which he duly did. I left the car at their office that first night as the parking was unclear. However the next day I was able to park near the property, so that was good. They would have come and got me again on checkout day if my car was at theirs. This did negatively impact my initial first impressions - when I said that if I had been given a bit more info it would have been fine and the chap said I should have googled it ?? But googled what ? The process works, but it would be so much better if everyone knew what was happening. I was then given their watsapp number, which is their phone number, but again, you only know that if you know ! THat made it much easier and I was able to message as I checked out. So, the property was nice, its a great location. I don't want to sound negative, but things need to be clearer - especially when using third party platforms.

Seeing such beautiful scenery at the hotel every day is worth the fare. You can also watch the sunset. The hotel service is very good, and the hardware is very good. The breakfast is very good. I came in the off-season. The price/performance ratio is super high

The rooms are clean and spacious, with oversized balconies. The hotel has a variety of facilities, indoor and outdoor swimming pools, saunas, gyms, SPA, etc., while looking at the sea and the forest, it is actually very suitable for a few days on vacation. We left for one night after visiting Rovinj and it was a pity

Dinner is good, breakfast is good, the room is clean enough, the beach behind the hotel is very comfortable, the main town of Rovinj is too beautiful, you can consider staying here for two consecutive nights, the parking is free, you need to walk for 5 minutes, suitable for children, floor The pool and the outdoor pool are very good, it is recommended to go

We made the right decision to take our first trip to Croatia, the right decision to visit Istria, the right decision to stay in Rovinj & absolutely hit the bullseye with Residence Vaal. This is an absolute gem of a property & Denis, Aleksandra and their team, particularly Laura & Aleksandar, could not have done more to make our trip a thoroughly enjoyable one, & to ensure that we want to hurry back. Residence Vaal is extremely comfortable, well equipped and almost surgically clean. The setting, slightly away from the centre of town is peaceful, & it's ideally placed for Cuvi beach. The breakfasts are fresh, varied and generous, and offer a great selection with home-baked daily delicacies. The pool area is an oasis of peace, with added hydromassage! All these tangible attributes are practically perfect, but what really made our trip was the extremely friendly, uber helpful and above-and-beyond service. I cannot recommend Residence Vaal highly enough!
