Residence La Carera

La Carera is a quaint, two storied apartment five minutes from the bus depot and close to the picturesque harbour. The apartment offers a quiet retreat, although situated in a pedestrian area amongst shops in the old town. The upstairs bedroom is spacious, with wood beams and plaster render. Downstairs the entrance opens onto a well equipped but small kitchenette and dining area and a snug and comfortably furnished lounge room that overlooks the street. The whole apartment has a warm and homey character. However, without doubt, its greatest assets are Claudia and Petra, who combine to offer a level of support and assistance unsurpassed in our travel experience. On one occasion Claudia closed the office to help us work out a problem at the laundromat. After hours on another occasion, she came to the apartment to replace a power fuse. Their advice on restaurants, tours and local facilities was always excellent.

Our rental at Residence La Carera was ideally located on a main shopping road in the old town. There was constant pedestrian traffic but it was always quiet in the evening and at night. The bed was comfortable and there was lots of room to spread out in the bedroom. On the negative side, the bedroom was on the floor above the sitting area, bathroom and very small kitchen eating area. The steps to the bedroom level were somewhat narrow and twisted and they would be difficult for someone who couldn’t climb many stairs. Having the bathroom on a different floor from the bedroom might be an inconvenience for some people. We did run out of hot water on the first shower taken. The building itself was nice and the manager, Claudia, was very friendly and helpful. The areas in which to pay to park are about a five minute walk away.

My husband and I stayed at Residence La Carera for one night while in Rovinj and it was great! A woman met us at the location and let us into the room, gave us a map, and some hot spots to see, so sweet. The location is perfect, and the air conditioning worked great! The room was smaller, but was to be expected with an old building. The small shower was very mighty! We would absolutely stay here again.
