We were in Croatia for 10 days and decided to make Istria our final destination. The Lone was a great place to base ourselves. It is only an hour from Pula and all other areas you would wish to explore by car. We booked the Jazz room package and were glad we did. While the pool was nice, it is shared with the Eden Hotel (located on the same property) and was very noisy and crowded with families with small children. It was nice after a day of exploring to be able to dip into your own plunge pool and relax. The breakfast buffet at the hotel was comprehensive and suits all tastes. We did not eat dinner at the hotel but did go next door to the Monte Mulini and had dinner at the Wine Vault - if you are a foodie, you must book the chef's table. The Jazz rooms at the Lone were tastefully decorated. The bathroom was large, complete with separate shower and tub. The bed was comfortable and large. The one thing I kept commenting on was how clean the public areas of the hotel were - you never saw a spek of dirt anywhere and the carpets always looked freshly vacuumed. We visited the spa & exercise areas which were well equipped. Visitors should note that there aren't any sandy beaches in this part of Croatia - you will be swimming off rocks and sitting on them as well. We rented bicyles a few times and rode through the parks to find swimming spots. From the center of Rovinj, you are about a 15 minute walk, which came in handy after eating large meals. I would definitely return and would recommend it to others.

Wonderful setting in a beautiful forest with luxurious pool area. Excellent room and food options. Close to old town Rovinj but very quaint location.
