Cosiness prevails at the Croatian boutique hotel San Rocco, close to the Slovenian border and the Istrian coast. In 2004, the owners transformed an old family estate with a mansion and two annexes into a holiday resort with all kinds of comfortable facilities. Their warm hospitality speaks volumes. Their acclaimed restaurant serves gourmet meals with a personal touch. Definitely worth discovering!

13 rooms.
Check-in is possible from 3 pm. Check-out is before 11 am.

San Rocco has over 1000 olive trees and produces its own olive oil.
The rooms are all very different and are located in the former villa, which is the main building, or in the former ox stable, the annexe. Some rooms are below the roof. They have small windows and a view of the village, garden or swimming pool.

The vintage room, which was recently renovated, is our favourite room.

The wine list includes more than 200 wines. The cuisine has been awarded numerous honourable mentions in both national and international gastronomic guides. The hotel has a second restaurant in the village, about 50 metres away, wine shop 'Konoba Primizia', where you can taste traditional Istrian dishes and purchase the best olive oil and wines.
