Thinking of taking a four to five week holiday travelling down to Italy maybe see leaning tower crossing over to other coast then maybe getting a ferry over to Croatia to visit Rovinj. Has any one crossed on the Ferry, any tips would be helpful in putting this holiday trip together.

It would be possible to drive from Pisa to Rovinj with just one stop, in the Venice area.  Or you could make a detour further into Slovenia and stop again at Lake Bled, which is very pretty and has an excellent campsite.  We have done a similar journey in reverse - Istria to Bled, Bled to Venice, and Venice to Albenga - and found the distances comfortable.

What time of year are you going?  Campsites in Croatia get very full in July/August, and the weather is very hot.  We went late August and stayed four weeks ( alot of sites close down at the end of September.)  We stayed at Camping Amarin near Rovinj, but there are plenty of other sites to choose from.  It's a lovely area, plenty of interesting little towns and wonderfully clear sea.

Kelper, that link you give above refers to Azzurra Line that stopped in 2011. Direct Ferries website is well out of date!
