Amazing location

The apartment was a perfect space for our visit and the location was stellar. Dad Zelko was so kind to meet us at the ferry terminal and personally check us in to the apartment and give us quick lay of the town. We loved the hospitality and loved our visit! The AC and washer was also a huge bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

The service offered by Zeljka and Zelenko was amazing! From the meeting at the entrance to the city, the escort to the apartment, the welcome mandarins, many recommendations for restaurants and things to do, and responding to our many questions, we had a terrific stay. We had everything we needed. The location is fantastic. The apartment was just the right size. It’s not brand new and shiny; it felt very homey. Thank you for the wonderful stay!

Amazing Stay in Rovinj - Great Host

My wife and I spent 5 nights here before heading to the Italian Dolomites. Zeljka and her father were awesome. Extremely responsive and helpful and very easy to deal with. We had some flight and luggage problems and the host was amazing with our arrival changes. The apartment is well equipped, clean and literally in the heart of the Old City. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and would come back and stay again without hesitation. Excellent place.

The Best Hosts in VRBO!

Zeljka & her father Zelko work as a team. They are efficient, professional and so very willing to accomodate their guests. Zelika communicated with us before our stay to introduce herself. At my request, she comprised a detailed itinerary with suggestions on what to see & where to eat. Zelko met us and drove us to the apartment, unloaded our bags and showed us around after leaving us with a 6 pack of bottled water & a bowl of fruit. He then walked victor to the parking lot to drop off our vehicle. He checked on us numerous times during our stay to make certain we were happy. This unit had the most comfortable beds & pillows. A real treat. With a washing machine & plenty of hot water, it made our stay easy. When we left, they had arranged for a shuttle to pick us & our luggage up to transport us to our vehicle in the parking lot. And Zelika left us with an enormous box of lovely chocolates & a limestone reproduction of a Kazun, a wonderful memento of our stay in Rovinj. Communication was excellent & immediate. These Two are most definitely Super Hosts! Thank you to both Zeljka & Zelko! Warm Regards, Dawn & Victor

Nice Apartment, Great Location

This one-bedroom apartment in old town Rovinj is perfectly located to get to all restaurants, harbor and ferries, or just explore the narrow streets, shops, and squares lined with cafes and restaurants. Washing machine and air conditioner a major plus. In addition, our hosts were always available to answer any questions (usually within a few minutes of texting), and help with maps, luggage, parking, etc. We were there for three weeks and had a wonderful stay.

There’s no shortage of amazing views and restaurants. Zelko met us the next day and helped us take our luggage down, even driving us to the car rental place. I can’t imagine staying anywhere else I.

Zjelka and her father ensure guests are satisfied with excellent communication, prompt service and very personalized service. We were met at the bus stop and walked to the apartment through the old town and help with luggage. Then a thorough orientation to the apartment (her Dad even put soap in the wash machine, so it was a treat to do a load of laundry after two weeks) and he brought us some fruit and local wine. They had every brochure available and maps. TV and wifi are excellent and despite being in the heart of shops and restaurants, noise was minimal after 10:30 pm. A little grocery store is around the corner and many shops for all the local artisans. There are 4 flights of stairs to get to this 2nd floor apartment, but we managed this easily since we were out most of the day and Zjelko’s help with luggage made this workable, (My Mom is in her 80’s). Upon departure, Zjelko met us again and helped with luggage and walked us the short distance to the ferry departure dock. Wonderful, friendly service and despite fancier hotels in the area, for the price and location, this is recommended. Staying in the old town is worth it.

Amazing hosts in an amazing city in the a great location! I will be back!!! Thank you!

The hosts, Zlolkjo and Zlolkja (father and daughter) are so kind, warm and welcoming. Zlolkjo was there to meet me and direct me to the parking which is arranged in advance! This is very helpful and much more cost effective in Rovinj. He then helped me with my bags as we strolled 10 minutes through the old town and to the beautiful home. The apartment truly feels like a home. Two nights was nowhere near enough time to see Rovinj, Istria or to stay in this beautiful Croatian home. I highly recommend and I will be back for sure. Thank you so much!

Lovely apartment in a great location

Arco Vecchio was located in a great position in the old town. The apartment had everything we needed, and we particularly loved the comfortable bed and pillows... luxury! Our host Zeljka was brilliant, and a great communicator. She also sent us a suggested itinerary for our five day stay in Istria. The hosts dad Zeljko met us on the first day and was incredibly helpful with our luggage and advice on where to visit, restaurants etc. On check out he also met us and arranged for transport for our luggage to our car. What a lovely gentleman he was! There is no parking available in the old town but the host arranged parking within walking distance nearby. We would highly recommend this apartment.

About the host

Hosted by Zeljka

Host profile image
I am Croatian from Rovinj, who enjoys travelling, culture, historical buildings and reading, and I am inspired by Rovinj Old Town where my apartments Arco Vecchio and sea view apartments are situated. My father Zelko is a great help in assisting our guests at the apartments and providing local, out of guide tips, so you can really discover this gem. I currently live in Porec where I work as a hotel general manager, and I really enjoy the hospitality sector and meeting so many great and inspiring people.

Why they chose this property

It took me a long time to choose my two favorite spots in Rovinj with such a unique location, the lovely view and a good vibe, so today I am glad to be able to offer my two homes to travelers from all over the world who want to feel the real spirit of the Old Rovinj, being in the heart of it all.

What makes this property unique

If you like art, history, cobbled streets, hidden gems and lovely food, this is a place to stay! Enjoy.
