Author: Once a humble Istrian fishing village, Rovinj has been quickly moving up in class. The old town remains an appealing jumble of stone streets and pastel houses but head just a little out of town and you reach Istria’s first five-star resort, the Hotel Monte Mulini.
Once a glum package-tour complex, the Monte Mulini has been completely overhauled by an international design firm. The newly opened resort is now a showcase for how a luxury hotel can blend with rather than defy its surroundings.
The white stone is entirely consistent with the stone used in building old Rovinj but the look is entirely contemporary. The hotel is set into a wooded hillside and features a dramatic glass wall that highlights the breathtaking sea views. Each one of the 109 rooms and ten luxury suites boasts a sea view.
The hotel is ecologically-correct as well. The curved roof was designed to take advantage of the shade to minimize the need for air-conditioning but still allow in plenty of light and sea breezes.
I predict that the new resort will soon win major national and international awards for luxury and fine design.
