San Servolo Wellness Homes

Twelve wellness homes scattered across olive groves on Momjanska Ulica outside Materada, this five-star retreat in inland Istria gives each unit its own plunge pool and kitchen rather than a shared hotel block. Buje sits fifteen minutes north by car, with the Adriatic coast at Umag a twenty-minute drive west.

Stone walls and reclaimed roof beams stay exposed inside; spa treatments use grape-seed oil pressed from a neighboring vineyard. The setting suits couples and small groups wanting rural quiet over beach-town crowds, with truffle-hunting excursions arranged through local foragers rather than a concierge desk.
