Heritage Hotel Villa Valdibora
A 17th-century stone building in the heart of the Old Town
About this hotel
Villa Valdibora sits inside a traditional stone building dating back to the 17th century, right in the heart of Rovinj's Old Town, close enough to the main square, Carrera Street and St Euphemia's church that all three are covered on foot within minutes. Rooms and apartments both come with air conditioning and free Wi-Fi, and the studios and apartments add a kitchenette for guests who want to self-cater some meals. The on-site restaurant covers the rest, set inside the same historic walls, and dining options fill the surrounding streets for anyone wanting to explore further. The Main Bus Station is 550 m off, useful for day trips along the coast, and Pula Airport sits 46 km south.
- Old Town heart location
- 17th-century stone architecture
- Apartment units with kitchenette
- On-site restaurant
Our take
Good for travellers wanting an authentic stone-built old-town stay with the flexibility of a kitchenette in the apartment units, right where the main square, Carrera Street and the church all meet within a short walk. The on-site restaurant is a genuine convenience inside the historic building. Anyone wanting a pool, spa or beachfront view should book toward the water instead, since Valdibora keeps its focus entirely on the Old Town setting.
- ✓Book an apartment unit over a standard room if you want the kitchenette for breakfast
- ✓Use the Main Bus Station, 550 m away, for day trips rather than renting a car
- ✓Eat at the on-site restaurant at least once, it sits inside the same 17th-century walls
Why we love it
- Genuine 17th-century stone building
- Heart of the Old Town setting
- Kitchenette in apartment units
- On-site restaurant
Why guests love itStepping outside and reaching the main square within a couple of minutes sets the pace for a stay that barely needs a map. The apartment units' kitchenettes get used for a lazy breakfast before the day's walking begins, and the on-site restaurant, tucked into the same stone walls, covers dinner without a second thought. Rooms carry the building's age in their proportions and layout, which reads as character rather than a drawback for most guests.
