Istria

Renting in Rovinj

Rovinj is considered one of the most beautiful towns in Istria: the old town on the peninsula, the Church of St Euphemia and the boat-lined harbour draw visitors all year. That popularity makes the rental market tighter and rents higher than in many neighbouring towns. Living here permanently means a life between a Mediterranean old town and quieter residential areas on the edge of town.

Rent levels

€500 – €1,100 / month

Monthly rent for one- to two-bedroom apartments. Strong tourist demand makes Rovinj pricier than the Istrian average; rental offers are more realistic to find outside the season.

Neighbourhoods

Old town (peninsula)

Historic and picturesque, narrow lanes, little parking, higher rents.

Centener / Gripole

Edge-of-town residential areas with newer builds, quieter and family-friendly.

Borik

Close to beaches and hotels, a mix of living and tourism.

Seasonality

The summer months are heavily shaped by tourism, when many owners switch to holiday lets. Rental apartments mostly open up from September to May and are noticeably easier to find then.

Infrastructure

Rovinj has primary schools, doctors and supermarkets locally; the nearest hospital and airport are in Pula, about 40 minutes south. Bus connections reach the rest of Istria.
