Our Story

Our story is a simple one. We love Rovinj. The owners were married here and generations of their family have lived and still live here.

We’d be honoured to share our passion for Rovinj and beyond with the most precious part of the whole story of The Melegran – you, the guest.

Melegran means pomegranate in the old northwestern Istrian dialect, and pomegranate is a symbol of Rovinj. But we also liked the idea that most cultures have a story about the melegran in their past. And we want all cultures to feel at home when you stay at The Melegran.

Istrian countryside with its superb cuisine and rustic vineyards is an undiscovered gem. That’s why we built a hilltop villa close to the jazz town of Grožnjan, nestled amongst vineyards, some of which supply the wines in the hotels bar.
