This luxury retreat is all built around a white stone mansion, set in the pristine countryside on the west coast of Croatia. Encased by rows of fertile vineyards and bountiful olive groves, this Relais & Chateaux property prides itself on offering exceptional gourmet experiences, a range of beautiful accommodations and even a private stretch of beach on the peninsula.
Choose between Vintage Suites with antique furnishings, modern villas with private pools and spacious residences offering all the comforts of home. Secluded and sophisticated, each of these styles of accommodation offer something different, whether you’re looking for a romantic couple’s retreat or a carefree villa holiday with the family.
One of the most spectacular features of this hotel is the gourmet experiences it offers.

Plus, enjoy interactive gourmet experiences, such a wine-tasting in the modern tasting room, olive oil sampling sessions and truffle-hunting expeditions.
In between breakfast and dinner, spend your time here swimming in the two outdoor pools, unwinding with treatments at the Meneghetti Spa Centre or exploring the local area on an e-biking adventure. In the summer months, be sure to take the complimentary shuttle down to the hotel’s private stretch of beach for sunbathing and signature cocktails at the beach club.
