Heritage Hotel San Rocco

Breakfast was great, but for other food dinner or lunch you need to book much in advance as also the guest from outside are coming. Welcome was not really nice, we just get the key and room was shown, but not even told when the breakfast is, what to do around the hotel, where is the pool, sauna etc.. This is expected from that kind of "heritage" hotel. We have been in more than 200 hotels all around the world, but this is not a hotel with a good price/performance. Rooms are old and needed much renovation, there are a lot of ants all the time coming from every hole in the room. Worth 60-80€ maximum per night for two.

Feels more like a true boutique B&B. Wonderful food - breakfast as well as their highly regarded restaurant. Also dinner at their informal place nearby was great. A wonderful boutique hotel experience that provides a sampling of Istria. We also found the location to be great - just a short drive to some of the key towns (Rovinj etc). Some nice nearby caves etc. We were amazed at how reasonable the Michelin level dinner was.

Wunderschöne Umgebung

A nice boutique hotel in true istrian style….we had a menu of 4 courses, everything was excellent and the best was dessert and pre dessert .the restaurant is fine dining it is a bit more expensive… my recommendation

Spend there 3 beautifull days. Sun, pool and peace, what more do you need. Perfect little butique hotel you will enjoy. Afternoons at pool they bring every guest plate of fresh fruits. Breakfast was so good. So much to choose from. We had a amazing dinner at their restaurant at hotel. They have the largest amount selections of wine. Room was nice, cozy and bed was great. Can't wait next year to come again. And our dog had a great time with us there.

Went for dinner (did not stay at hotel). We have been many times but not for a couple of years and it is even better than before with new menus (before the menu did not change much from one year to the next). One of us is vegetarian and there was a separate menu which is a real positive. Both of us thought the food was excellent in all respects. The service was also excellent under Ivan and his team. We will be returning.

We tried about 7 different courses. The main course was exceptional - it can be served in any Michelin star restaurant. Other courses were good but they lacked a wow factor that best fine dining restaurants have. One course was a bit flawed or not suited for me - I didn't finish it. The ambient is very romantic and green (garden with olive trees, fruit trees...). The olive oil they make is flawless as well as the bread.

Just to clarify, this review is not about the hotel stay, but about the restaurant experience, which I do not recommend at all. What was supposed to be the culinary highlight of our trip in Istra ended in a complete and very expensive disappointment. Even if I wanted to comment on every single dish we had I couldn't, because now, 4 days later, I don't even remember anything other than how bland the taste was. Not a single dish left an impression, the food was very flavorless and uninspired, the quantities were not well thought out and not even the waiters engaged with us (my partner doesn't speak Croatian and everything was explained to us in a very basic vocabulary). In the end they didn't even ask us if everything was ok, which is also one of the reasons I am leaving this review. To conclude, the food was not bad and we did not go home hungry, but it was very, very far from the advertised Michelin experience. Also, this is not a Michelin star restaurant, but a Michelin guide restaurant, which although also inexplicable to us, is a different thing.

I write in english for broader PA A short holiday in HR, Istria, after a long and hot day on the Beach a not expected invitation to have diener. My son in law told us just to shower and change dress. We had a very short timeslot to act. Restaurant San Rocco, Sredrja ulica 2, 52474 Brtorigia, HR/Istria out in the somewere on the rural side, only Google maps found it, a pitoresc small town a beautiful Michelin star restaurant on its best. Coming from the beach, shower, cleaner shirt and slipper, not the best outfit for 6 adult, one 8y and a breastfeed baby ;-) We were served and enjoyed a superb five-course star menu with truffle and wine. The baby child was satisfied with it's mom, the girl got chips with tomatoe and we all piquet glances from the waiter. Conclusion -If you are able to arrive appropiate dressed in 43°C weather, after a day on the beach, after an adventurous journey, it is a very good recommandation, superb food. -If you are not styled, with an 8y and a baby child, enjoy piquet glances for free, not so nice.
