Istria is a picturesque region rich in history, occupying the largest Croatian peninsula with a long coastline, surrounded by the Adriatic Sea. Within Istria there are UNESCO World Heritage sites such as the Arena in Pula, the Euphrasian Basilica in Poreč and many other museums and palaces. Istria has been recognized as the best olive oil region in the world by the famous Italian olive oil guide Flos Olei. This area is also famous for its vineyards, in the immediate vicinity of which, in the intimate village of Mužolini Donji, there is a luxurious hotel, San Canzian Village & Hotel.
Both the building and the interior of the hotel were inspired by the local, rustic style and combined with modern elements. The architect of San Canzian is a man named Boris Ružić, who is famous for his renovations that maintain the character and essence of traditional Istrian architecture. The hotel consists of rustic stone houses surrounded by olive groves, vineyards and gardens with edible herbs - an ideal place for lovers of good food and drink.
For guests who want to discover local gastronomy, additional activities are offered: wine and olive oil tasting, truffle picking and cooking classes. The Noel hotel restaurant serves 4- and 7-course tasting menus, designed by a team of chefs who received a Michelin star in their sister restaurant in Zagreb. The menu is characterized by top-class ingredients, such as mackerel, Adriatic tuna, caviar, algae, white truffles and porcini mushrooms, prepared with respect for all types of diets, including vegan.
Resort San Canzian is a 20-minute drive from the sea. The lack of direct access to the beach guarantees the hotel intimacy and privacy. Guests can relax and rest their body and mind in the outdoor heated infinity pool, which offers a breathtaking view of the vineyards and the sunset. Additionally, guests can enjoy an indoor swimming pool and a relaxation area with massages and wellness treatments.
