Spirito Santo Palazzo Storico

Clare P9 months ago

We absolutely LOVED Hotel Spirito Santo!! In planning our holiday, I spoke with/emailed the hotel several times regarding our plans, arrival, etc., and they could not have been more helpful. The friendly, well-trained staff arranged to have a taxi meet us at the rental car drop-off when we arrived in Rovinj after a long day at Plitvice NP, and quickly got us checked in, taking our bags to our room while we sat in the airy, light-filled interior courtyard enjoying a welcome drink. The hotel is nestled in a quiet part of the Old Town, in a collection of buildings brilliantly renovated and cleverly designed to make the best use of the space, creating a charming overall effect, with exposed brick, open terraces and a lovely sense of place. Our room, Monte, was large and airy with views of the sea. The bed was made using high-quality linens on a excellent mattress and the bathroom set-up was well-thought-out, with fluffy towels and bathrobes, high-end bath products, a bidet and a heated towel bar. The hotel also provided beach towels. We had a little, private roof-top terrace that we entered via a small stairway through a retractable glass roof. The views were stunning, and it was a delightful place to enjoy an excellently prepared cocktail after a busy day of sightseeing and swimming. The hotel was kept spotlessly clean, and Tanya worked very hard to keep everyone happy with a beautiful breakfast buffet and eggs to order. The staff provided excellent concierge services, such as making touring and restaurant suggestions/reservations and arranging for a private car to drive us to Venice at the end of our stay. Rovinj and Hotel Spirito Santo were one of the highlights of our trip.|NOTE: Due to its design and layout, the rooms are accessed via stairs, and the hotel has no elevator, so if you have mobility issues, contact the hotel before booking, as this may not be the place for you.
