Villa Rosetta

Book

Villa Rosetta is ideal if you want a calm coastal base with easy access to race logistics. It combines a peaceful setting by the sea with practical comfort, making it a good fit for trail runners focused on rest and recovery.

Villa Rosetta is a 4-star boutique hotel located in Savudrija, on the north-western Istrian coast, a short drive from Umag where Istria100 by UTMB is centred. The setting is quieter than staying in town, which helps you unwind before and after race day.

Arriving here feels relaxed and personal. The hotel sits just above the sea, with a traditional exterior that blends into the coastal surroundings. Inside, the atmosphere is calm and informal, with a small lounge and terrace areas that feel unhurried and easy, especially welcome during a busy event weekend.

Your stay is on a bed and breakfast basis, with a fresh continental-style breakfast served each morning. Expect simple, good-quality options including fruit, yogurt, bread, eggs and hot drinks, which work well for endurance fuelling. Early breakfast may be available on event days, helping you keep your routine intact. For other meals, Umag is a short drive away and offers plenty of casual restaurants suitable for pre- and post-race dining.

The hotel’s coastal setting supports gentle recovery rather than intense training. There is direct access to the seaside promenade, which is ideal for light walks, stretching or a short shake-out run along flat terrain. The outdoor areas and nearby water create a calm environment to decompress after long hours on the trails, without distractions or crowds.

Rooms here are comfortable and well-sized, with supportive beds and a quiet atmosphere that supports quality sleep. Blackout curtains help with early nights, while modern bathrooms with good showers make post-race recovery easier. Many rooms have sea views, adding to the sense of calm between race efforts.
