Enjoy luxury hotels and holidays at lower prices
Even the best hotels have empty beds. Because we keep it hush-hush, they slip us phenomenal deals. Too good to be true? Nah. Just too good to be public.

Property details
- Rural, historic and heavenly: San Tomasini Heritage Hotel is a masterclass in rural renovation, transforming a traditional Istrian stancija (estate) into a five-star sanctuary of calm. The vibe here is intimate and authentic; think terracotta tiles, exposed stone walls and wooden beams rubbing shoulders with contemporary glass features and designer furniture. It’s the perfect spot to slow down and soak up the zen atmosphere of the sleepy village of Bačva.
- Poolside bliss: The jewel in the hotel’s crown is undoubtedly the outdoor saltwater pool, an idyllic spot to while away the sunny Croatian afternoons. Flop onto a sun lounger on the terrace with a book, or take a dip while gazing out across the rolling greenery towards the distant sea, and when you need to stretch your legs, take a leisurely stroll through the vineyards and olive groves.
- A taste of Istria: Mornings here are a treat, with fresh coffee and a breakfast of locally sourced specialities, perhaps enjoyed under the shade of the magnificent tree in the courtyard. If you wish to indulge in a private dinner, you can liaise directly with the hotel whose chefs prepare fine, authentic Istrian cuisine. Though the hotel is a peaceful retreat, you’re in the heart of wine country here, so expect the finest labels.
How to get there
The hotel is located in the village of Bačva, approximately 45 minutes by taxi or hire car from Pula Airport. We’d recommend hiring a car in order to get the most out of this beautiful area.
