Villa Tuttorotto

I was taken aback at first by the equipment gym outside my door & the small bed on the last floor. However, the view quickly made up for it & the hotel is very well located. Additionally, the hotel felt very boutique living in a home with a living room you can fully utilize. Plus, the receptionist made my stay very pleasant with the copious breakfast I’m still salivating about.

I had the most wonderful, yet short, stay at this beautiful place! Dom made me feel at home. The breakfast was delicious, the room with a view perfectly comfortable and well-appointed. The overall feel of the place is just lovely and comfortable. And, the location can not be beat, right in old town and near the harbor.

Air conditioning a bit weak

Charming! Lovely boutique hotel in a historic building (former mansion?). Right in Old Town. Water view from my room. Nice staff. Good breakfast.

When we checked into the hotel, the air conditioning had been turned off for the season and our room was stifling hot. We politely told the woman who checked us in that we needed to move to a different hotel because it would have been impossible to sleep. We told her we would work the situation out with Hotels.com and that we would be willing to pay for one night. Hotels.com contacted the hotel for me today and the hotel refused to refund us any of the money for our planned three-night say. I think the customer service rep really tried to work it out with the hotel because I was on hold for about 15 minutes. Hotels.com kindly gave us a voucher for $200 for future use since the hotel would not cooperate. I find it very unreasonable that the hotel did not give us a refund or partial refund.

In the facts this is like a bed and breakfast rather than an hotel. Facilities are in a nice old house but there are very difficult to find inside the city. The hotel should provide more information and assintance for facilitate travelers to approach the site. If you are travling in a car be prepared to park at around 10 minutes walking distance and carry on your lugagge at the hotel. No help for this.

I loved this hotel - great character, awesome breakfast (with a nice view of the harbor), cozy spot off the side streets inside the heart of the old city. Also much more convenient to get to with luggage than some of the other b&bs that are further off the main walkways / up steeper hills. If these sort of things matter to you when you travel, I would point out that: - it is nearly impossible to find the first time. I followed the directions they sent but if you haven’t seen the web of streets before, it’s tough. I also asked 5-6 people including at the restaurant on what ended up being around the corner, and the 6th person was the first who knew. No problem finding my way back there after, but check-in is hard if you’re coming in without assistance. - there is limited hot water. Both mornings the water turned cold while I was mid-washing my hair. But if you’re not worried about those things, it’s a delightfully quaint, friendly b&b in a great spot very close to the water and main walkways!

In order to stay in the centre of the historic town of Rovinj having travelled by car, you need to accept that it is essential to leave it in the large public car park about 1/2 mile from the hotel. Conversely, you get to experience the true magic of the town without cars. Villa Tuttorotto is located in a tiny backstreet, but perfectly findable using Google Maps! We enjoyed every aspect of our stay, except perhaps the first morning sharing the large breakfast table with other guests. We have a personal preference for separate tables, not possible due to space limits. But on the second day we were able to breakfast separately on the tiny terrace! Our room had a limited but acceptable view of the harbour. The bed and facilities were good, except for an easily cured slow drainage on the shower. We loved walking around the town and the walk to the park to the south...well worth it for peace, quiet and views away from the busy town and harbour. Great choice of restaurants, but we chose one in the backstreets away from the busy harbourside ones.....an excellent choice for a better quality meal learned from experience!
