"On the Istrian Peninsula, mere miles from the Adriatic coast, stands the hillside village of Mužolini Donji, home to the beautifully atmospheric San Canzian Hotel & Residences. It’s built on the site of a medieval fortification, and is now a cluster of stone buildings containing some 24 rooms and suites as well as a restaurant and bar. The units themselves are remarkably contemporary in design, and completely modern in function; comforts include an outdoor pool and a luxe indoor spa. Luciano, the restaurant, shows the pronounced Italian influence in this melting pot of a region, just an hour’s drive from Trieste." - Tablet Hotels
