The pretty seaside Venetian town of Rovinj is a picturesque jumble of terracotta and ochre villas, pantiled rooftops and narrow cobbled streets. Encircled by a bay of crayon-blue water, the faded stone buildings spread like a bastion beneath a grandiose Baroque church and belltower. Cafés, shops and market stalls line the colourful waterfront where fishermen still land their catch on the quayside.
The Angelo D'Oro, formerly a Bishop's Palace in 17th century Rovinj, is an elegant, up-market boutique hotel in the town's historic pedestrian centre. The green shuttered, vermillion facade on the Via Svalbe is typically Venetian. Inside, vaulted ceilings and exposed stone walls, decorated with oil paintings and original works of art, create intimate spaces for dining and relaxation. Baroque emblems hang from an ornate wooden staircase, and a tiny rooftop loggia perches above a garret. The hotel's 24 well-appointed rooms are spread over three floors and offer garden, street and sea views. Each room is individual and unique. The hotel has its own restaurant and wine cellar, and a small wellness centre featuring sauna, solarium and jacuzzi. Behind the hotel a private garden and terraced patio offers a pleasant respite from the rigors of an afternoon of sightseeing. Drinks and light snacks can be ordered throughout the day.
