Hotel description
The village of Brtonigla on the Croatian peninsula of Istria only has about 1,500 inhabitants, which gives it its magical Mediterranean charm. When you walk around the village, and explore the San Rocco itself, you could be forgiven for thinking that you were actually in Italy: The area is known for its wine production and olive groves. The style of the hotel and the food served here are closely linked to the agriculture and lifestyle of the region. Its restaurant serves regional gourmet cuisine, and guests can sample local wines accompanied by typical specialties in the vinotheque.
Historic: Stylish joie de vivre against a rustic backdrop
Today, the San Rocco is hotel whose roots go way back in the history of this agricultural peninsula. Today’s hotel building once served as a home, barn and sheds. In 2004 the entire property was restored and renovated by the Fernetich family. Organic products like wine, vinegar and olive oil are produced on the surrounding land which still belongs to the property.
Romantic: Cozy atmosphere & Tuscan flair
The mix of authentic architecture, connection to the surrounding area and Mediterranean flair is really romantic. As is the beautiful room decor: in the 14 guest rooms you’ll find classic furnishings and rustic wooden beams. Striped patterns, cherry wood dressers and beautiful curtains underline the Tuscan-inspired ambiance. Other romantic highlights include breakfast or a candle light dinner by the pool in summer. In winter, guests dine by an open fire in the rustic cellar restaurant.
Gourmet: Fantastic Croatian food and wine
The excellent cuisine served at the hotel restaurant is reason enough to dine here, but the superb wine list is the icing on the cake. The combination of both the food and drink makes this a real insider tip for a gourmet vacation. Freshly caught fish, truffles, locally grown mushrooms and refined game dishes can all be found on the seasonal menu. The oil and vinegar used are produced on site and can also be taken home as a souvenir of your visit to this multiple award-winning restaurant. The wine cellar provides selected Croatian but also international varieties.
Food & drink: Cozy breakfast and vinotheque in the center
In addition to the gourmet kitchen, the San Rocco offers a good breakfast in a very cozy breakfast room with friendly service. The hotel also runs a vinotheque in the village center, which is definitely worth a visit if you’re a bit of a wine connoisseur. Local classics like dried beef and pizza made in a wood-fired oven are served alongside excellent wines.
Sports & leisure: Sauna, pool and olive oil massage
A small spa completes your luxurious vacation at the San Rocco. Inside you’ll find a Finnish sauna and a small pool. On request, you can also have exclusive use of the area for two hours. Guests can book massages, for example using the olive oil that the hotel makes on site. In the garden there’s an outdoor swimming pool surrounded by loungers, stylish parasols, gnarled olive trees and a terrace shaded by a canvas roof. Breakfast can be enjoyed here too when the weather is nice.
Location: Small village near the Croatian Adriatic
The San Rocco is a historic property on a small hill in an idyllic location at the edge of Brtonigla. It can be quickly and easily reached thanks to the nearby highway. The sea is about 6 km away.
