A unique retreat for teams - between vineyards and culture
Perched on a hillside beneath the medieval town of Motovun in Istria. The estate blends local heritage, modern architecture, and natural beauty, offering an experience that engages all the senses. Guests are welcomed by rolling vineyards and the serene panorama of the Mirna River valley, a landscape that inspires calm and reflection.
The hotel is a work of art. Its architecture combines Istria’s stone craftsmanship with sleek, modern design, creating spaces that are elegant yet inviting. Each of the 32 individually styled rooms and suites reflects careful attention to detail, pairing Italian 1960s-inspired aesthetics with local materials, artisanal furnishings, and curated accents.
Beneath the hotel lies the underground winery, carved into the hillside, where minimal intervention and patient craftsmanship bring the wines to life. The winery is more than production; it is a sensory journey, inviting guests to discover aromas, flavors, and textures in an intimate yet monumental setting.
The grounds enhance the estate’s charm. Terraces, sunlit courtyards, and winding vineyard paths invite leisurely walks and reflection. Outdoor spaces are framed by panoramic views of hills, fields, and the Mirna River, creating a seamless connection between architecture and nature. Guests can enjoy quiet corners for reading, socializing, working, or simply taking in the serene surroundings.
Dining is equally remarkable. The on-site restaurant celebrates Istrian cuisine through locally sourced, seasonal ingredients prepared with creativity and respect for tradition. Meals are complemented by the estate’s signature wines and framed by sweeping vistas from windows and terraces. Every dining experience reflects the artistry and sense of place that defines the estate.
For relaxation, the hotel offers a wellness area and outdoor pool. Guests can unwind in the sauna, bask by the pool, or explore gardens and terraces that extend living spaces into the landscape. Every corner is infused with care and design, creating an atmosphere of understated elegance and comfort.
