Radetići is located in the hinterland of the western Istrian coast, tucked away among the rolling hills between Tinjan and Sveti Lovreč. The village is an outstanding example of the revitalization of rural Istria, where century-old stone masonry has been preserved and faithfully restored. Its architecture is defined by thick stone walls, characteristic external stairs known as 'baladur', and enclosed courtyards that now often hide luxurious holiday villas, making Radetići a sought-after destination for upscale rural tourism. The village's heritage is deeply rooted in agriculture and livestock farming. The surrounding terrain is a mosaic of vineyards, olive groves, and dense oak forests. Nearby lies the Limska Draga, a dramatic geological valley that eventually leads to the famous Lim Fjord. Walking through the village, visitors can spot historic details like ornate window frames and old stone cisterns (šterna), which were once the vital center of the community's daily life. For food enthusiasts, Radetići's location provides easy access to some of Istria's finest agrotourism estates. Being close to Tinjan, the capital of Istrian prosciutto (pršut), guests are guaranteed to taste the best local cured meats and wines like Malvazija and Teran. Cyclists enjoy the low-traffic roads connecting the village to historic coastal towns like Poreč, located only 20 kilometers away. Radetići provides a great balance of quiet rural living and proximity to Istria's major cultural and natural attractions.
