Living in Rovinj: a guide to the neighbourhoods
Rovinj varies from one area to another: location affects prices, everyday life and how a property can be used. This overview can help you find an area that suits your plans.
Old Town: living in Rovinj’s landmark centre
The Venetian-influenced old town sits on a peninsula beneath the Church of St Euphemia. Apartments offer character and easy access to the harbour and restaurants, but often have compact layouts and no private parking. Most lanes are pedestrianised, with parking generally available around the edge of the old town.
Many buildings are protected heritage properties. Renovations and façade work usually require approval, and older homes should be professionally inspected before purchase. Properties in the old town are among the most sought-after and expensive in the area.
Borik and Kuvi: close to the centre and convenient for everyday life
Residential areas near the centre, including Borik and Kuvi, combine easy access to the old town with more modern buildings. Buyers can find new-build and renovated apartments with balconies or terraces, sometimes with private parking. For people planning to use their home year-round, these areas offer a practical balance of location and comfort.
Monvi, Valalta and the countryside: space and privacy
Outside the centre, towards Monvi and Valalta and in nearby villages, listings include pool villas, stone houses and plots. These locations tend to offer more space and privacy, and some have sea views. A car is generally useful for everyday errands and trips into town.
Prices at a glance
Rovinj is one of the more expensive locations in Istria. Based on current listings on this page, apartments are often offered at around €4,500–€8,000 per square metre.

These are indicative figures only; the price of an individual property depends on its location, condition and features.
What property buyers in Rovinj should check
Before buying, check the land registry entry, building and occupancy permits, and any heritage-protection requirements. Ask about regular running costs and building reserves. If you plan to rent to holiday guests, confirm registration, categorisation and applicable charges in advance. Pula Airport is roughly a 40–50-minute drive away, depending on traffic.
Frequently asked questions about buying property in Rovinj
Can foreign nationals buy property in Rovinj?
Citizens of EU member states can generally purchase property in Croatia under the same conditions as Croatian citizens. Swiss citizens may face additional requirements under reciprocity rules. Ask a Croatian lawyer to review your circumstances before you buy.
What does commission-free property in Rovinj mean?
Commission-free means that the buyer does not pay an agency fee. This is usually the case with new build properties purchased directly from developers or in direct sales by private owners.
Which purchase taxes and local costs should I check in Rovinj?
A 3% real estate transfer tax generally applies to resale properties in Croatia; a new-build purchase may have different VAT treatment depending on the seller and contract. These are national rules, not a city-specific rate. Recurring municipal charges and holiday-rental requirements can depend on the municipality, address and intended use. Listings around Rovinj include areas such as Altstadt, Borik, Kuvi. For a specific address, request current charges and permitted-use requirements from the relevant city authority, and have the tax treatment reviewed by an independent adviser.
What are the steps to buying property in Rovinj?
Typical steps include obtaining a Croatian tax number (OIB), checking land registry, cadastral and building documents, signing a preliminary agreement and then the purchase contract, followed by registering ownership. An independent legal review is recommended before paying a deposit.
Can I rent out a property in Rovinj to holiday guests?
Holiday rentals may require registration with the relevant authority, property categorisation, guest reporting and payment of tourism and tax obligations. Rules can change, so check current requirements with the responsible authority or a tax adviser before you buy.
Can I finance a property purchase in Rovinj?
Buyers often use their own funds or arrange financing through a bank in their home country. Croatian banks may offer mortgages to non-residents subject to their own eligibility requirements. Discuss financing with your bank before signing a preliminary agreement.
