The Roxanich is really cool - the design of the rooms is fantastic and the bar is great. We had a lovely time drinking wine and watching a thunderstorm from the terrace.
Featuring an indoor swimming pool and à-la-carte restaurant, the family-run Hotel Kaštel is set at the top of a hill in the centre of the medieval town of Motovun.

A beautiful place with a lot of history, culinary indulgence. The view is fantastic. You can use the hotel shuttle from the parking lot to the hotel; otherwise, the route is approximately 1.5 km long (on foot). The waiters tried hard and were in a good mood despite the occasional big crowd.
Set in the heart of the picturesque Istrian village of Motovun, Villa Borgo features panoramic views of the valley.

Everything , no complaints. The pool is open only from June 1st though , but to make up for my disappointment Goran gave me a bottle of wine, which was very sweet

This was a lovely place to stay for one night in Motovun. It was clean, cute and super quiet. We were offered welcome drinks on our own balcony and breakfast (available for extra charge) was also served there.

Great place for lovers of medieval hill-top towns and truffles. One can enjoy just a stroll through the town and views of surroundings for an hour, can have a great dining experience or stay for days and explore Istria, one of the prettiest and welcoming places on earth. "Medieval" and "hill-top" also mean that you walk a lot on rugged cobblestone, you walk uphill and climb stairs, and "great place" means it's crowded in the high season (summer). Still, one of the better places to escape to from crowded coastal towns, focused primarily on visitors' wallets.

A classic medieval town that was so fun to explore.
A classic medieval town that was so fun to explore. Be sure to visit the cathedral (opened about 10 during our visit) and (carefully) climb the bell tower for a spectacular view of the valley and beyond. We visited in late October when some businesses had closed for the season and others were winding down. We would visit again in September.

Great location in old town.
Great location in old town. Wonderful people and amazing views from the walls and restaurants. Wine and truffle country and free samples were almost too much. Lol
Tiny and hilly old stone streets within a walled city oozing with history.
Our host was gracious, laid back and a pleasure to just chat with.
We would highly recommend.

It's a spectacular location on a hilltop with amazing views all-round of mountainous country including vineyards & olive groves. Delicious and reasonably-priced restaurants at the very top, friendly people, tons of charm. Nearby are several vineyards & the local wines are very nice, and affordable. Easy day trips to Pula, Rovinj, Buzet & others.

This was my first time in Istria.
This was my first time in Istria. We checked out Kozlovic winery, we sampled their delicious wine and had a tour. View is spectacular. Had dinner in Motovun, tried gnocchi with truffles, very tasty! Pictures of the amazing views do not do it justice. Will definitely visit again!

Motovun is lovely little town in the heart of Istria.
Motovun is lovely little town in the heart of Istria. I really liked it. The prices at restaurants in general in comparison to offer are a bit limited. However we managed to find something for ourselves at the end. We missed bakeries. We did not find single one so we travelled to Pazin on our way back home and found amazing bakery.
Perhaps tourism board should create a special list with all possible places providing food and menu of same, all in one place saves from walking especially if one has slight walking disabilities.
Everything else is lovely and look forward returning to Istria
The staff was wonderful. Motovun is a walled town that is car free. The hotel staff direct you to a parking area outside the old city walls and take you then up the steep hill to the hotel. The hotel patio had a wonderful view of the countryside. Steps away from the hotel, there are restaurants. We ate at one restaurant with beautiful views.
In addition, we really liked the hotel's breakfast offerings. Many choices! We especially enjoyed the omelets with truffles.
This hotel was fantastic from booking to leaving. We ran into their driver at the bottom of the hill once we arrived and he gave us fantastic detail on where to park and then picked us up (thank goodness we did not have to walk with our bags) and took us straight up to the hotel at the top of the hill. It’s a very quaint hotel and our room was clean and spacious with a large terrace. It is close to everything and everyone we encountered were very kind and helpful.
Hotel is perfectly located in the centre of the peninsula to visit most of the istrian cost locations. Staff is very helpful and friendly. We booked a premium room with a fantastic balcony, offering a lot of space and a superb view. Interior and exterior style of the hotel is extraordinary. Breakfast is high quality (only exception is the orange juice). Also here, helpful and friendly staff. All in all a very good stay at apprpriate cost.
We spent a night here. Perfect location to explore Motovun as it is a stone away from the main square. The room has been renovated and well maintained. We had a peaceful sleep thanks to the air conditioner. There is a large fridge, too. Communication with the owner was easy as she speaks English. Please take note that the stairs inside the building are very steep - you should bring only items you really need while staying here!
Lovely experience to stay in a 300 year old stone building, renovated into a cosy and comfortable holiday retreat. Everything one needs to self-cater was provided. A dedicated car park was 70m away. Location was perfect to explore Motovun and surrounding villages. Our host Goran was very generous (gave us complimentary wine, olive oil and home-made brandy) and helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation.
The house is very spacious, at a great location, 10m above the road. The parking is 50m away at a public parking along the road. The owner paid for the parking during the stay. The view on the valley is beautiful, the kitchen is fully equipped, we used the air conditioning for heating in the evening. We were cycling along Parenzano and Motovun is a good starting/end point.
Hotel Kaštel is fantastic place, very cozy and fully equipped. Hotel is very well located, on the top of city. Transportation and cheap parking is included in price.
Staf is 10/10, very communicative and nice to talk, very friendly and helpful.
We don't eat breakfast, because of very early check out but they surprised us with coffee and tasty croissants
The location in beautiful Motovun was ideal with a beautiful view from the windows and outdoor patio. It was quiet and comfortable and the washing machine was a welcome bonus! The bed was very comfortable, kitchen was well equipped and the shower was lovely. Igor our host was very responsive to any questions or concerns.
Landlord Nena is very friendly and approachable. Room and facilities are clean and comfortable. Location is great, Motovun is in the walking distance from the house, about 20 minutes by foot. View from the terrace is amazing. Good value for money.
Great and very friendly hosts, they gnerously let us stay in the spacious apartment since there had been a mix up with our original booking. Good breakfast and very central location in the center of Motovun.
Good starting point for discovering the heart of Istria with stunning view at Motovun. Room and bathroom were bright and clean, aircon did work super well!
Parking in front of the hotel without problems.
The view from the balcony was incredible. The stay in Motovun was simply magical. The staff was super friendly and we got a car ride to the parking lot since it's a bit of walking.
Great location in the centre of Motovun , our room on the 1st floor had a wonderful , spacious view .Room was really large and comfortable ,the furniture is a bit dated .
Loved the property - the owner was wonderful. Just know that if you stay in Motovun (which you should) there is a LOT of walking - stairs, inclines, cobblestones, etc.
