The Melegran, Rovinj, Istria, Croatia

• Trendy style: A family-run boutique hotel that celebrates the city it calls home, The Melegran is nothing if not stylish. Maintaining the original feeling of the old building, exposed stone walls and beams have been preserved, and now complemented by vibrant wallpapers, funky accents, and Marshall speakers. Let your inner creativity flow at your room’s writing desk, complete with retro typewriters, and fill pages with inspiration gleaned from this quirky hotel and city.

• Local gastronomy: A traditional fishing port, Rovinj continues to celebrate its fishing heritage with the rich offering of seafood in the many restaurants. The hotel is more than happy to make tailor-made restaurant recommendations; favourites include Puntulina, Santa Croce, and the Michelin-star Monte. The model climate and diverse soil in Istria has led to a thriving wine production in the region; you’ll find the perfect local pairing for every meal.

• Excellent location: Tucked down one of Rovinj's picture-perfect cobblestone lanes, your hotel is in an enchanting part of the old town, and just a short stroll away from beautiful sights nearby. You'll also find plenty of sweet cafes and restaurants to enjoy a relaxing drink while you take in the ambience.
