Private Chauffeur Transfers to Hotel Lone Rovinj

Private Transfer to Hotel Lone Rovinj

Bel'Istria provides private chauffeur transfers to Hotel Lone Rovinj from all regional airports. Pula in 40 minutes, Trieste in 2 hours, Venice in 3 hours, Ljubljana in 2 hours 30 minutes. The hotel sits inside the Zlatni Rt forest park on the south side of Rovinj, 15 minutes on foot from the old town. Drivers know the forest park approach road and can arrange day trips to Motovun, the Lim Fjord, Pula Arena and Meneghetti Wine Hotel throughout the stay.

Arriving at Hotel Lone Rovinj

Hotel Lone sits inside Zlatni Rt, the century-old forest park on the southern edge of Rovinj. The building was designed by Croatian architecture studio 3LHD and opened in 2011 as the first design hotel in Croatia, the only property in the country with Design Hotels membership. The Y-shaped six-storey structure in concrete and glass does not look like any other hotel on the peninsula. Guests approaching through the pine forest for the first time typically see the building before they expect to.


The access road runs through the forest park from the Rovinj coastal road. The turn is not prominently signposted from the main approach into town, and guests arriving after a long flight or in the dark occasionally miss it and end up in the hotel zone for Grand Park before backtracking. Bel'Istria drivers use the Zlatni Rt approach every season. The vehicle pulls directly to the hotel entrance on the forest side of the building, luggage is handled from there, and the check-in is a short walk from the car.


Closest arrival point is Pula Airport (PUY). Pair your stay with a Croatian seafood tasting or the caves of the Istrian underground.

What Hotel Lone Guests Come For

Hotel Lone draws a different guest from most five-star properties on the Adriatic. The architecture is the primary reason people choose it over the other options in Rovinj. The Y-shaped plan by 3LHD means almost every room faces either the sea or the forest, often both. The interior was designed entirely for the hotel, furniture by Grupa Numen and textile work by I-GLE studio, with art installations by Ivana Franke and Silvio Vujičić commissioned specifically for the building. It reads less like a hotel and more like a well-funded contemporary museum that also happens to have 248 rooms.


The Albaro Wellness and Spa occupies its own section of the building with sea views from the treatment rooms. The Michelin-starred Cap Aureo restaurant is at the adjacent Monte Mulini hotel, five minutes on foot through the park, and accessible to Lone guests. Agli Amici Rovinj, another Michelin-decorated kitchen, is also within easy reach. The hotel is 200 metres from the water and the forest walking paths of Zlatni Rt begin directly outside.


Rovinj old town is a 15-minute walk along the coast from the hotel entrance. Most guests at Lone walk in on the first evening and return on foot each time, treating the hotel as a quiet base from which the old town is a short promenade rather than a destination requiring a car.

Day Trips Bel'Istria Can Arrange From Hotel Lone

Hotel Lone's position in Rovinj puts the same Istrian day trip circuit within reach as the rest of the peninsula's luxury properties. The Lim Fjord is twenty minutes north, the Motovun truffle valley is forty-five minutes inland, and Pula Arena is forty minutes south. Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery in Bale, a Relais and Châteaux estate worth an afternoon, is thirty minutes by road.


Guests whose interest runs toward design and culture tend to use Bel'Istria for Grožnjan, the hilltop artists' village fifty minutes northwest, which has a higher concentration of working studios and galleries per street than anywhere else in Istria. The Motovun Film Festival runs each July, and for guests who time their stay to coincide, Bel'Istria can handle the evening transfers to and from the hilltop screenings. All trips can be arranged the evening before or on the morning of departure. The driver can wait or return at a confirmed time.
