As a leading sustainable resort in Croatia, Cattunari di Valle is defined by what is absent: no industry, no noise, and no compromise.
Our resort is nestled in the rolling Istrian countryside, a landscape of ancient olive groves and endless vineyards. Here, luxury is found in the absolute silence. Located just 5 kilometers from the Adriatic Sea, the estate is continuously refreshed by a salt-tipped sea breeze that filters through the valley, providing some of the purest air in the region.
There is no industry and no noise, only the scent of wild herbs and the rhythmic hum of nature. We care about our planet. In fact, sustainability isn’t an afterthought. You can find it in everything we do. Every choice we make with love and care.
At Cattunari di Valle, every drop has a purpose. While the sun warms your morning shower, the water begins a sophisticated journey through the sustainable resort. We collect the seasonal rainfall and repurpose water within the resort, for the most practical needs like flushing toilets, ensuring that our resource management is as seamless as it is ecological.
Nothing is ever truly discarded. Our natural biological plant-filter system treats and purifies wastewater, transforming it into a nutrient-rich resource that returns to the earth to irrigate our fields and gardens. From the rooftops to the roots of our olive trees, we have closed the water cycle. It is a system where every drop counts, and nothing is wasted.
Cattunari di Valle embraces the nature around it. Our private houses use ancient thermal wisdom to stay naturally cool. This heritage is paired with modern innovation: advanced heat pumps and silent fancoils provide a whisper-quiet, carbon-neutral climate inside your home, preserving the absolute silence of the countryside.
We believe in a plastic-free future. To reduce our footprint, we provide refillable drinking water bottles for every guest and have a dedicated bottle box for deposit collections. It is these small, thoughtful rituals that contributes to our sustainable philosopy.
A mix of old and new, modern technology and natural traditional style make Cattunari di Valle a unique sustainable resort. We think that true luxury is the connection to the beauty of nature.
We believe that true luxury is found in the details. Explore how we balance your comfort with our commitment to the Istrian landscape.
Yes, absolutely. Unlike traditional pools that rely on heavy chlorine, our natural salt electrolysis system is incredibly gentle. It provides a silk-like swimming experience that doesn’t irritate the eyes or dry out the skin.
Peace and quiet are our ultimate luxuries. Traditional air conditioning can be noisy and create dry drafts; our advanced heat pumps and silent fancoils maintain a perfect, carbon-neutral climate without the hum of machinery. Our systems ensure a healthy and comfortable indoor climate, without causing harm to the outdoor environment. You only hear the sounds of the Istrian night.
It is more than safe; it is pure. The drinking water of Istria is one of the best in Europe. We encourage the use of our refillable bottles to help us remain a plastic-free sanctuary. Rainwater and pool waste water are used for flushing the toilets and is finally filtered by plants to water our olive fields and garden.
