"In the hills of Buje near the Slovenian border, this reimagined hamlet blends heritage with minimalism and a touch of English-cottage charm, pairing natural textures and warm neutrals with olive groves all around; the pool overlooks rolling hills, the crowd skews quietly cool—think Berlin creatives and Slovenian tech bros in designer swimwear and Persol shades—and the restaurant Luciano serves elevated Istrian comfort food." - Jonnie Bayfield
"In the heart of north‑western Istria’s gastronomic hub, this restaurant turns top‑quality local ingredients—many organic and sourced from small nearby producers—into elegant, contemporary dishes while staying true to simplicity and seasonality. Signatures range from the Maneštra stew of octopus, beans, olives and sourdough to catch‑of‑the‑day fillet on sweet potato cream with garden vegetables, wild boar shoulder ragù with black trumpet mushrooms and homemade gnocchi, beef fillet with mushroom and truffle ragù, and veal loin with confit leek, tonka bean sauce and black garlic, with superb desserts like a buckwheat tart with strawberries, lavender, ricotta and white chocolate cream and a pistachio biscuit with cherry jam and lime cream. The team tends its own kitchen garden (tomatoes, peppers, courgettes) and embraces zero‑mile produce, zero waste and creativity, while guided olive‑oil tastings highlight the house San Canziano blends (including Frantoio and native Bianchera) with their balanced, spicy‑fruity profiles." - Annalisa Leopolda Cavaleri
"Situated in the charming hamlet of San Canzian, a resort designed in the typical style of an Istrian country house, this restaurant boasts a warm and welcoming ambience, with a terrace offering fine views of the surrounding countryside. The cuisine is delicious and contemporary in feel, while the excellent wine selection celebrates the best labels from the region." - Michelin Inspector
"San Canzian, for example, opened this month near Buje in the north near the Slovenian border. The hotel occupies an old, restored village..."
"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
