Tiny Mu\u00c5\u00beolini Donji was the village that time and everyone else forgot until a Croatian entrepreneur had a vision. Why not create a luxury gastronomic paradise that combines the finest Croatian design with the finest Croatian cuisine? The core of the old village was left intact but upgraded and enhanced with buildings in traditional Istrian style. A first-class restaurant opened to showcase the finest local products from olive oil to wine to truffles. Chef Mario Mandaric is the only Croatian chef to have worked as a sous-chef in a three-star Michelin restaurant and he brings his philosophy of &#8220;precise but not pretentious cooking&#8221; to the San Canzian kitchen. The 24 rooms and a villa are outfitted with every luxury and the views over the Istrian countryside to the sea are amazing.
