Experience the magic of rural Istria at a five-star heritage estate, boasting a saltwater pool, thoughtful contemporary design and vineyard views - includes breakfast
-
Rural, historic and heavenly: San Tomasini Heritage Hotel is a masterclass in rural renovation, transforming a traditional Istrian stancija (estate) into a five-star sanctuary of calm. The vibe here is intimate and authentic; think terracotta tiles, exposed stone walls and wooden beams rubbing shoulders with contemporary glass features and designer furniture. It’s the perfect spot to slow down and soak up the zen atmosphere of the sleepy village of Bačva.
-
Poolside bliss: The jewel in the hotel’s crown is undoubtedly the outdoor saltwater pool, an idyllic spot to while away the sunny Croatian afternoons. Flop onto a sun lounger on the terrace with a book, or take a dip while gazing out across the rolling greenery towards the distant sea, and when you need to stretch your legs, take a leisurely stroll through the vineyards and olive groves.
-
A taste of Istria: Mornings here are a treat, with fresh coffee and a breakfast of locally sourced specialities, perhaps enjoyed under the shade of the magnificent tree in the courtyard. If you wish to indulge in a private dinner, you can liaise directly with the hotel whose chefs prepare fine, authentic Istrian cuisine. Though the hotel is a peaceful retreat, you’re in the heart of wine country here, so expect the finest labels.
How to get there
The hotel is located in the village of Bačva, approximately 45 minutes by taxi or hire car from Pula Airport. We’d recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of this beautiful area.

It is your responsibility to ensure that you and all members of your party are in possession of all necessary travel and health documents, and in compliance with any other immigration/entry requirements before you travel, including whether your passport must be machine readable or which visas/waivers may be required for entry, such as ESTA for USA travel and/or ETIAS for EU travel.

Bačva
You’re perfectly placed to explore the heart-shaped peninsula of Istria, a region famed for its hilltop towns, truffles, and world-class olive oils. Just a stone’s throw away is the quiet town of Višnjan, home to a world-renowned observatory where you can gaze at the stars, or simply wander the charming stone streets. For a subterranean adventure, head to the Baredine Cave to admire its dramatic stalactites and underground lakes.
A short drive towards the coast brings you to Poreč, a beach town steeped in history. Marvel at the glitter of the UNESCO-listed Euphrasian Basilica, stroll along the ancient Decumanus street, or simply find a spot by the harbour to watch the world go by. Visit the local wineries to sample the famous Malvasia white wine, or perhaps join a truffle hunting tour in the nearby Motovun forests to unearth the region’s ‘black gold’.
