Residence Porta Antica Centro Storico

This is fabulously convenient on the south side of the Rovinj peninsula. From the principal car park, it is a 7-10 minute walk with a rolling suitcase. Staff was very friendly and our room had a lovely view of harbor. Bed was reasonably comfortable. Kitchenette was nice. Rovinj in the late fall (late November) is pretty dead - heads up. Very few dining establishments were open. (again, why having the kitchenette was so nice.)

We stayed there for 5 nights and loved it. We stayed in the room with the balcony facing the port. It was so special.It is well located to many great shops & restaurants. We enjoyed walking the pathways through Old Town, plus the walk along the walkway east towards the park. The staff were so helpful. We would definitely stay again.

We had a lovely stay and will definitely visit again. Rovinj is beautiful and the residence is charming and so well located - right next to the water and all the amazing restaurants. See you again soon!

My favorite thing about staying at this property was the amazing customer service provided by Claudia and Petra. They did a wonderful job taking care of me and my friends from beginning to end. I definitely plan on returning to the Residence Porta Antica!

Very charming property with all amenities present. The annex sea view room was big with a great view of the bay and the streets below.

The staff met us in the parking lot outside the Old Town and transported us to the hotel. They were gracious and helpful.

Great 180 degree ocean and port view. Claudia was exceptionally kind and provided great service. She picked us from parking lot middle of night. Charming unit with modern bath, heater, wifi. Parking rate was 1euro per hour day and night.

We stayed in the 1-bedroom apar**ent 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.

We loved our stay at Residence Porto Attica. The hosts, Petra and Claudia, are welcoming, informative, responsive, and always helpful. The location is central, convenient, and easily walkable to all Old Town sites, restaurants, and shops. The accommodations are charming and comfortable. The breakfasts at nearby Hotel Adriatic are superb. We highly recommend this property.
