Set in the heart of idyllic Istrian inland, San Canzian Hotel & Residences is where nature, heritage and subtle luxury intertwine. Arising from the mediaeval village of only three inhabitants, it was entirely revamped in 2019 with 26 rooms, suites and villas. Remains of the St Cantianus chapel found in the close vicinity served as an inspiration for the name, while the design honors traditional Istrian architecture and culture.
