Hotel Lone is a unique design hotel in Croatia which represents a de-

sign-focused synergy of functionality, harmony and elegance. Featuring

an impeccable blend of luxury, beauty, style and cultural heritage, the

5 star boutique hotel is a year-round leisure and business destination.

The interior decoration embodies the basic aesthetic values of this bou-

tique hotel, with simple lines and functionality merging with the appeal

of the surroundings. The playful arrangement of mirrors, glass walls and

indoor areas, visually extending towards spacious terraces, is present in

all of the rooms and suites. Wood, stone elements and fabrics dominate

the interior, providing a pleasant dim-out effect contrasted by black and

white walls and wallpaper décor. The furnishings have been designed

and tailored to the Lone hotel exclusively by a Croatian studio specialized

in product design called Numen Group. This hotel and its surroundings

will present the nucleus of 1st Rovinj Polo event that will embrace all of

you, our dear polo friends and be your home during this brief but unfor-

gettable stay.

On the magnificent coast of Istria (Croatia), right below the Lim Fjord,

is the most romantic place in the Mediterranean! The town of Rovinj is

the right destination for all of you seeking a sentimental atmosphere

of the times that have forever gone by. In the Mediterranean, you can

find it here, in the town that has begun its romantic life on an island, its

restricted area resulting in crowded houses, narrow streets and small

squares, still untouched by modern urbanism. The town is dominated

by the baroque St. Euphemia’s Church, its 60-meter tower providing a

view of grey and red rooftops and chimneys, streets and squares, the

port and pier with ships and boats, and the marina harboring yachts.

Romantic and mysterious, yet full of options for an unforgettable time,

Rovinj has become and will remain a town you will want to experience

again.
