Hotel Vila Rova in Malinska

We stayed here 7 nights in September 2025 in a Suite for 2 people with balcony and sea view at the top (3rd) floor (room 47). The hotel is run by a family and has 23 rooms. The hotel is located at the seaside and also has a swimming pool and spa. In front of the hotel there are parking places for guests. The suite is spacious with nice balcony and excellent view. Staff is very friendly and helpful. Our compliments to housekeeping and maintenance! The room has airconditioning, a fridge, a watercooker and a safe. WiFi is good, the bed also and the shower disappointing (low water pressure). Breakfast (a la carte) is very good. Lunch and dinner at the Beach bar is very good. The main restaurant has a Michelin recommendation and the prices are accordingly. We didn’t use this restaurant.

The only thing we lack were clean linen in our 2 night stay, other than that excellent service.

The entire experience from start to finish was exceptional. Customer service was 5 star for sure. The restaurant was outregeously good. Definitely the best restaurant in Croatia. Breakfast was incredible. Congrats to all the staff at Vila Rova.

The best staff ever
Had a great two bedroom family room both had balconies with sea views and their own bathrooms.

We ate in both restaurants and both were great!

But what really makes this hotel special is the staff. They are attentive and nothing is too much trouble. We felt thoroughly looked after.

It will be hard to praise the staff of this little jewel of a hotel enough. They were superb - friendly, accommodating, always ready to help. The rooms were beautifully appointed and impeccably clean. The restaurant of very high quality. The Chef’s menu in the evening is highly recommended. The beach bar and grill was excellent. We stayed for 4 nights and had planned on going to some of the local restaurants, but never made it. The poolside and under the olive trees were lovely spots to chill out. Ample and secure parking.

Extremely high service level among all staff.
Attitude, approach and friendlyness was highly appreciated.

This place was like walking in the front door and greeting your family! It was the absolute best hotel we have ever stayed at and being in Croatia was a true bonus! The over the top friendly staff the welcoming reception and the approachable owner was truly amazing for us and our stay was fabulous. Top notch cleanliness, comfortable beds, fabulous meals and very very personable team of people at this gorgeous boutique hotel! I need not say more we had an extremely fabulous stay here!

very welcoming staff, going above and beyond to please visitors
nice, quiet hotel, has everything one possibly needs to enjoy a beautiful vacation; the restaurant and staff are excellent; the pool is very nice and the beach extension under the olive trees is to die for.

Hotel Vila Rova is as close to the waters edge that we’ve stayed. The small olive orchard separating the pool from the sea is very unique & adds to the grounds beauty. The staff is happy and helpful! Breakfasts delicious! Their offering of a coursed evening meal was a culinary treat! While the room & bath were small, we were very comfortable for our three day stay. The location on the riva was beautiful! We would stay again!

There are several details to describe this place for ideal vacation under olive groves: pleasant and relaxing atmosphere, friendly and professional staff, excellent food with refined taste, extreme comfort. In short, MUST VISITED!
