In the very heart of Rovinj, in a narrow street leading towards the Church of St. Euphemia, there is a renovated 31 m² apartment on the seafront. Views from the living room and bedroom, abundant natural light and the immediate proximity of the sea create an experience that is difficult to replicate in the old town.

The sea as part of the interior

The greatest value of this apartment is felt precisely in the rooms where most time is spent. Both the living and dining area and the bedroom overlook the sea, so natural light, changing weather and the sea breeze are constantly present in the space. It is difficult to find a smaller apartment in the old town where the experience of the sea is quite this immediate.

A layout that makes good use of every metre

The entrance leads into the central part of the apartment, where the kitchen is located. To the left is the largest room with the living and dining area, while a separate bedroom is positioned to the right. The bathroom with shower is located next to the entrance. This layout clearly separates the living and sleeping areas and reserves the most valuable positions along the façade for the rooms used for living and relaxation.

Comfortable for two, practical for guests

With 31 m², the apartment is particularly well suited to a couple looking for a small home by the sea. The separate bedroom provides privacy, while the living area can serve an additional function when guests are staying, allowing the apartment to accommodate up to four people on occasion.

The first floor as a practical advantage

The apartment is located on the first floor of an old stone house, which is particularly convenient in the historic centre. Access is easier than to apartments on higher floors, while at the same time the apartment is raised above ground level and the greater exposure to moisture often associated with properties located directly by the sea.

Renovated, yet full of character

The apartment was renovated around 2006 and decorated in shades of blue that naturally connect with the sea in front of the house. The preserved wooden floors and timber ceiling add warmth to the space and recall the traditional character of Rovinj interiors, while aluminium windows with double glazing provide everyday practicality.

A stone house in the historic centre

The building dates from around 1700 and features stone exterior walls, a timber floor structure and a traditional pitched roof covered with clay tiles. The house contains seven apartments, retaining the scale and atmosphere typical of Rovinj's old stone houses.

Ready to use

All furniture is included in the price, so the apartment can be used without major initial investment. Heating is provided by an electric radiator, while hot water is supplied by an electric water heater. The equipment is functional, although a more contemporary interior would further enhance the overall impression of the space.

A modest investment could make a significant difference

The interior is well preserved, but today feels more traditional than contemporary. Without major construction work, a targeted refresh of the furniture, lighting, textiles, kitchen details and overall visual appearance could bring the apartment much closer to the expectations of today's guests and buyers.

It would be particularly worthwhile retaining the wooden floors, ceiling and blue details that give the space its Mediterranean character, while simplifying and visually calming the rest of the interior. An indicative investment of approximately €8,000 to €15,000 could significantly increase the apartment's appeal without the need for a complete renovation.

Holiday rental potential

The seafront position, views from the living room and bedroom and location in the historic centre provide a very good basis for holiday rentals. The size and layout are particularly suitable for two guests, while the separate bedroom and living area allow additional guests to stay when required.

In its current condition, indicative gross annual income may be estimated at approximately €18,000–25,000, depending on the achieved nightly rate, occupancy, rental period and quality of management. Following a carefully planned visual refresh, the potential could be higher, reaching approximately €25,000–30,000 gross annually with professional management and favourable market conditions.

These estimates are indicative and do not represent guaranteed income. The possibility of holiday rental also depends on compliance with the applicable legal and administrative requirements.

Rovinj at your doorstep

Stepping out of the apartment means stepping directly into the historic centre, while the sea is practically in front of the house. Restaurants, galleries, historic streets and the waterfront are all within walking distance, while the Valdibora car park is approximately 380 m away. A car is generally unnecessary during a stay here.

Value that cannot be created later

The most important investment advantage of this apartment is not its existing furnishings, but what cannot be changed: its seafront position, open views from the two main rooms, first-floor location and position in the old town. The interior can be relatively easily adapted to the taste of a new owner, while the location and immediate connection with the sea remain its lasting value.
