    Excellent staff! Haven’t met more polite, helpful and younger staff in a long time. In general, this hotel is out of this world, if you’re into nature and peaceful vacation no matter how long this is the place to be! Not really far away from the seaside, Rovinj or Umag, great restaurants in the area also, everything was perfect really.

    Absolutely beautiful setting and property. Our room was lovely and had everything we wanted. Loved the evening treats and bedtime stories left on the bed. Breakfast was fabulous and we were able to sit outside overlooking the valley. Stunning. The pool area was fabulous with a spa area below. The staff were fabulous too. Loved everything!

    Charming location with lots of potential

    • Couple
    • Deluxe Double Room
    • Stayed 2 nights

    Attention to detail - there are far too many things to list where the detail was lacking, thus not warranting a five star experience for the price of the room. Just a few are: 30 minute check-in wait, no one to help with luggage upon arrival in heavy rain, furniture and carpet in room are tired, the refrigerator did not work and was not fixed even when asked, even though the outside temperature was below 20c that day we could not heat the room because the heating system was off, there was no Wi-Fi for a 24h period, etc. The potential is great, but it needs a lot of polishing.

    Beautiful view and location. The staff are all in all very friendly, especially the bar staff who is also very responsive. The swimming pool are is well placed within the property and provides for a relaxing atmosphere.

    Unfortunately, many small things to be improved. The biggest one is the comfort in the room. We were there in the start of may, which they claimed is still heating season in Croatia (I don't know why or how.. in May?! in Croatie? but it's not my country, not my culture) and we couldn't turn it off in the room. When we arrived, the thermometer said it's 30 degrees C in the room which is insane (while it was 25C and sunny outside). The AC was not working due to the heating season and the heating could not be turned off?! In a 5 star hotel we were sweating during the night. If you wanted to open the windows for a laugh, there were no bug/mosquito nets.. in a 5 star hotel?! You woke up covered in bug bites. I don't understand how other guests didn't mention this. Another small thing, while the restaurant was good, a bit high in price, but generalyl quite good, we were charged for bread and that was not highlighted on the menu. After we ate it and mentioned to the waiter that it was really tasty, (which it was, it was superb) he just brought a new basket without even asking if we wanted one more. Now, I don't care about the 10 euros (2x5), but the fact that we weren't even asked if we wanted another basket, and it was not highlighted on the menu, it left a bit of a sour taste in our mouth.

    The Hotel is beautiful and in a really nice place. There is a nice view from most of the rooms, and the restaurant. The breakfast is really good with huge variety whether you order from the menu or just go to the buffet. There is a lot of staff and they were all really nice and helpful. The rentable bikes were good, well kept.

    Outstanding hotel in a wonderful location

    Not really a negative but I would say that San Canzian is not specifically set up as a family/child friendly resort (and doesn't advertise itself as such). The fact that everyone was so friendly and accommodating meant that this really didn't matter to us and there were definitely other young children at the hotel. Some families might prefer accommodation that is specifically meant for families with young children though.

    San Canzian is a wonderful hotel in a beautiful part of Croatia. We stayed in the three bedroom villa which was modern and luxurious without being characterless or out of place with its surroundings. The staff were friendly and endlessly accommodating. Our children were 1, 5 and 9 when we visited and the staff always made sure we were looked after. The restaurant was also very good and the concierge extremely helpful with suggestions for places to eat and activities we all enjoyed. We would love to go back.

    The fact we needed to exit our room due to repair work. First the hotel communicated it would begin at 09:30, so we went to breakfast and for coffee. Returned at 11. Repair men showed up then and we needed to exit the room for 2 hours. I understand it is not easy to arrange external workers. However, then the room should have not been set for reservation...

    Staff was extremely nice and helpful. We had a situation where we needed to exit our room for 2 hours due to some repair work, which was quite unpleasant. Ladies at the reception really went out of their way to make it as comfortable as possible, organising massages, etc. Thanks ladies for that! Good breakfast.

    San Canzian Village & Hotel is a truly enchanting destination where modern luxury meets traditional Istrian charm. The architecture and design seamlessly reflect the landscape it's nestled in, with rooms equipped for utmost comfort. One of the standout features of this hotel is its commitment to being pet-friendly. It's not just "PET friendly" in name; it's genuinely set up to ensure our four-legged friends experience the same comfort and ease as we do. The staff is incredibly attentive, always ready to assist with any requests or queries. I would highly recommend San Canzian for those looking not just for a luxurious stay, but a place where their pets can feel equally at home.

    This hotel is absolutely perfect! I adored every aspect of it! The location is wonderfully secluded, providing a serene and quiet atmosphere. The beaches are not too far away by car, If you prefer not to stay by the pool. The restaurant and the food they serve are truly outstanding! I mean it, genuinely! The entire staff was exceptionally pleasant, helpful, and really professional. I absolutely loved my time here and I cant wait to come back!
