Hotel Squero
A few steps from the sea, five minutes from the Old Town
About this hotel
Hotel Squero sits just a couple of steps from the sea and a five-minute walk from Rovinj's colourful Old Town, where narrow streets, crowded houses and small squares line the main street Carrera with shops, galleries, boutiques and bars. Every room has air conditioning, free Wi-Fi, a seating area with satellite TV and a private bathroom with shower, and each looks out over either the sea or the garden. Bikes are available for guests to explore the surrounding coast, and the hotel organises trips further afield, to nearby islands, Brijuni National Park and even Venice. A private parking lot 700 m away costs extra, but staff handle the luggage transfer from the front door.
- Steps from the sea
- Old Town proximity
- Organised excursions
- Bike rental on site
Our take
Hotel Squero is the four-star I would choose in Rovinj to be near both the sea and the Old Town: it sits a few steps from the water and a five-minute walk from the historic centre, with rooms overlooking the sea or the garden and bikes for rent. Trips to nearby islands, Brijuni National Park and Venice are organised from the hotel. A 9.6 score from 1,016 reviews backs it. No pool or spa is listed.
- ✓Book the Brijuni National Park trip through the hotel rather than arranging it separately
- ✓Request a sea-view room over a garden-view one if the water matters more than the room size
- ✓Use the hotel's parking transfer service rather than carrying luggage the 700 metres yourself
Why we love it
- A genuine few steps from the sea
- Five-minute walk to the Old Town
- Organised trips to Brijuni and Venice
- Bikes available for coastal exploring
Why guests love itBeing a genuine couple of steps from the sea means the morning swim happens before the Old Town's narrow streets even fill with visitors, and the five-minute walk into town covers Carrera Street's shops and galleries without needing a car. The hotel's organised trip to Brijuni National Park takes the logistics out of what would otherwise be a complicated day, and the bike rental covers the coastal stretch beyond walking range. Rooms are simple, with the sea-view side clearly the better pick.
