Do you enjoy staying at a hotel where you feel like you’re part of the family and not just a guest?  Then, staying at the Villa Dobravac Wine Estate in Rovinj is the place for you.  We spent five night there in September and felt like a departing family member when we left.  The hotel is perfect situate above Rovinj, so that from their cozy patio, or their wine tasting room, you’ll have a wonderful view of Rovinj. Our modern room well appointed and featured a window looking out over Rovinj, a comfortable bed, and an amazing bathroom, much larger than most in Europe.
Did you noticed I mentioned a tasting room?  They produce their own line of wines right there on site. We enjoyed each of the local varieties.  Luca, who serves as host and tasting room manager pleasantly greeted us each day and talked to us about the area and the wines. Luca and the entire staff are to be commended for their hospitality.
As far as the location, don’t be put off because it’s not in the city center.  The walk into Rovinj is easy (we’re in our 60s) and there are a places to park your car for when you go exploring the nearby hilltowns like Motovun.  There are also a few restaurants with in minutes walking distance, notably, Konoba Nonna Marija and Veranda on the Sea.  Therefore, if you arrive later in the day you don’t have to go into the city center for dinner.  When we return to Rovinj, we will be sure to return to the Villa Dobravac Wine Estate!
