The apartment has been designed with “couples” in mind – it’s perfect for two, and consists of a lounge / kitchen / dining room, bath & shower room, and double bedroom.
From street level, the apartment is on the first floor. You enter into the airy lounge / kitchen diner, with it’s impressive original stone wall, laminate wood floor and kitchen. The large shuttered window to your left opens to views of the cobbled street below where you can watch the world go about it’s business.
The lounge consists of a dining table, coffee table, "leather" (not real) sofa, television, DVD player and television cabinet. The "fireplace" (not functioning) is a convenient area to stack books and the like.

The fitted kitchen comes with a 4 ring electric hob, sink, plenty of cupboard space, shelves and fitted dishwasher. On one of the shelves is a combined grill/microwave oven.
Off the lounge is the large double bedroom, with a super-king size bed, plenty of wardrobe space and a dressing table. The bedroom has air conditioning / heating unit to keep you cool on hot summer nights, or warm in the winter. Two windows allow ventilation and light into the room and looks out onto a small, communal (under croatian law) "court yarded" area with a well.

The refurbished bathroom actually has a bath (not many apartments in Rovinj do) as well as a shower. There is space and plumbing for a small top-loading washing machine.
Floor plan
The floor plan to the right (not to scale) gives an idea as to the general layout of the apartment. As with all the images on this page click the image for a larger and clearer version (loads in a new window)

The apartment is being sold fully furnished. Absolutely everything, from bed linens to furniture comes with the apartment. The only thing I'd like to keep is the actual guest book itself - as a memento.

But is it all it's cracked up to be?
We think you're going to love the beautiful town of Rovinj and apartment Sigurna Luka. However, don't have to take our word for it, you can read what our guests have thought by flicking through the "guest book". Click here or any of the guestbook images above.
You can see pictures of Rovinj and the local area here. For more about Rovinj and the surrounding area visit the City Council’s website by clicking here, and finally you can read my brother's blog and his experience of Rovinj here.
Why are we selling?
I bought the apartment with my wife, Kate, a little over three years ago. We did a large amount of the renovation work ourselves during many happy weeks spent in Rovinj. We got a great deal of pleasure preparing it for, and eventually letting it to, our guests, safe in the knowledge that they too would come to Rovinj and fall in love with the place.
Sadly Kate died two years ago, and whilst initially I could not bear to part with the apartment, were she here today she'd be the first to nudge me in the ribs and say, "hey, come on, it's time to start a new project."
So, whether you're looking for an investment, or merely a place in the sun you can call your own, I encourage you to give us a try as I feel sure that Rovinj will work it's magic on you as it did on us.
Help with selling
The property is being sold via a local estate agent in Rovinj.
Estate Agents in Croatia are excellent and act for both the buyer and the seller. They're completely different to their UK counterparts, doing a large amount of the legwork, and whatever's necessary to make sure both the seller and the buyer are happy. Croatian Estate agents charge 3% to both the seller and the buyer (that's you).
I'm more than happy to answer any questions you may have about purchasing and letting property in Croatia, as far as I am able, and put you in contact with my agent.
Viewing
Viewing can be arranged with the estate agent. Please contact me for an introduction.
Note: viewing can not take place whilst there are guests in the apartment. Apologies. Click here to view the availability calendar (opens in a new window) to see when the apartment is currently booked. "Unknown" means the apartment is available for "viewing", but not necessarily for booking.
Interested?
Please feel free to contact me (via the contact form) for more details. I'll be happy to answer any questions you may have and put you in touch with the agent.
Should you wish to stay at the apartment prior to purchase I'd be happy to offer you a 10% discount against the normal letting fee, and refund the cost of your stay (less tourist taxes) upon completion of the sale.
