Cukrići is a small settlement in the Svetvinčenat municipality, located in the central part of the Istrian peninsula. This village is a prime example of 'Green Istria,' offering a peaceful escape from the busy coastal areas. The village is characterized by its typical Istrian stone houses and the surrounding dry-stone walls that define the rural landscape. The area around Cukrići is surrounded by rolling hills, vineyards, and olive groves, making it excellent for long walks or cycling trips. One of the unique cultural features of the region are the 'kažun', traditional round stone shelters once used by shepherds. The village is close to the town of Svetvinčenat, known for its beautiful Renaissance square and the Morosini-Grimani castle. For food lovers, the location has excellent access to local agritourisms where homemade pasta like 'fuži' and world-class Istrian truffles are served. Cukrići is a handy retreat for travelers seeking privacy in a holiday villa while still being within a 20-30 minute drive from the coastal attractions of Rovinj or Pula. It is a place where one can truly experience the authentic heart and slow rhythm of Istrian life.
