Conquering charm.

In 2004, following the strictest restoration criteria, we transformed an old family estate into an exclusive holiday resort providing all the comfort and amenities of modern high category European hotels. The hotel consists of three buildings. The first building used to be a landlord mansion and the basement, the second one was used as a cattle barn, while in the third building peasants used to store agricultural tools and carts. Although located in the very centre of Brtonigla, the hotel is surrounded by a large park and an olive grove where guests can enjoy peace and quiet, read a book in the shade or just doze off, lulled by the sounds of untouched nature.

San Rocco Heritage

Our journey

Through many years of hard work and investments, Rita and Tullio Fernetich made their dream come true and transformed the ancient estate into today's well-known San Rocco Heritage Hotel... a unique place. Their children Teo, Luana and Rocco joined the project to continue the dream that flows from generation to generation. Today, San Rocco is internationally recognized as a concept of charm, originality and tradition. The winner of the most important domestic and international hospitality awards, San Rocco is included in the most prestigious international gastronomic guides, thus presenting entire Istria as a lifestyle and quality destination. Always authentically aimed at the valorization of the territory.

Brtonigla, that hill by the sea

Brtonigla has always lived from agriculture, but this land, known beyond its local borders for its fertility, is a wonderful environment for all lovers of relaxation, endless walks, green forests, blue sky and the sea... The place is only a few kilometers from San Rocco, and it can be easily reached by bicycle.

Another special feature of Brtonigla is its strategic location, which allows you to quickly reach all the beautiful beaches and bays of Istria: Novigrad in 10 minutes, Rovinj and Pula half an hour by car. San Rocco will allow you to visit all these small tourist places, enjoy them like never before in the evening hours and return to the peaceful surroundings of the Istrian village, to the warm embrace of San Rocco.

Our products

Our products are a reflection of love and respect for the Istrian soil. The centuries-old dedication of our family is perfectly visible in the most typical Istrian product, olive oil. Leccino, buža, bianchera are the fruits of our centuries-old olive trees, located all around San Rocco, which are lovingly and passionately taken care of by our family from cultivation to bottling. "Cavallier" wine vinegar is the product of typical local grapes matured on the red Cavalier soil, characteristic for Brtonigla, which has given it its name. Our products are an indispensable ingredient in the offer of the "San Rocco" restaurant and the "Primizia food and wine" tavern. In addition to having the opportunity to taste our products during your stay, you can also buy them and take a piece of Istria home with you.
