Your journey into the heart of Istria, Croatia begins at Cattunari di Valle, a small boutique resort with skin-friendly saltwater pool in Brtonigla designed for families seeking the authentic soul of Istria. When we first discovered this hilltop location, we were moved by its profound silence—a feeling we have carefully preserved for you. We offer a place where family memories are made in the slow authentic rhythm of Istria.
As your hosts, we believe your travel experience should have a personal touch. We share our “hidden treasures” with you—from our favorite local restaurants to family-owned wine estates, child-friendly beaches and authentic villages. We invite you to slow down, breathe deeply, and discover the ‘slow living’ lifestyle in Istria together with us at Cattunari di Valle.
Start your morning with our breakfast-to-door service served directly on your private terrace, then immerse yourself in the skin-friendly saltwater infinity pool. Specifically designed to refresh your body and soul. Because it’s saltwater, it is gentle on your children’s sensitive skin, allowing for hours of worry-free family fun.
With only nine exclusive houses nestled among ancient olive groves, we provide a true sanctuary of serenity for guests of all ages. While our resort offers deep serenity for adults, the garden provide a safe and adventurous world for children the wonders of nature.Â
