“This property, with its Michelin-recommended restaurant, struck me as an authentic expression of Istria, reminiscent of Napa or Tuscany but with its own distinct character. The hotel elegantly marries traditional Mediterranean architecture with modern luxury, creating an atmosphere of serene sophistication amid vineyards and olive groves.
