A gourmet vacation in Croatia with the MICHELIN Guide: a warm welcome and superb restaurants

"Led by executive chef Damir Pejčinović, the gourmet restaurant showcases pristine ingredients without changing them, using fruit and vegetables from the estate’s organic gardens and meat, dairy and fish from small Istrian artisans so their intrinsic quality shines. Sustainability is both ethic and practice—local sourcing, reduced waste and renewable energy—while signatures include the seasonally evolving Meneghetti Vegetable Garden with almonds and olives and a Double ravioli with Motovun black truffle and Colonnata lardo that contrasts truffle‑rich parcels with celeriac‑filled ones; there’s even a fondness for asparagus from Bassano del Grappa." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
