Motovun Top 3 Best Wine Hotels

In the extremely charming village of Motovun in Istria we found ROXANICH Winery and Design Hotel. A fantastic place that seamlessly blends modern luxury with a rich winemaking heritage. The winery, established by Mladen Rožanić, focuses on producing organic and biodynamic wines that reflect the distinct character of the Istrian terroir... ROXANICH's vineyards, spread across the sunny hillsides of the region, cultivate a diverse range of grape varieties including Malvasia Istriana, Teran and Borgonja. The wines are known for their complexity, depth, and balance, achieved through traditional winemaking techniques and extended aging periods. As a guest you can indulge in wine tastings, guided tours of the amazing wine cellar, and gourmet dining experiences. Believe us when we say this is one of Croatia's best hotels with its own winery!

Wines from Motovun are gaining serious attention for their freshness, minerality, and deep connection to Istria’s hilltop terroir - and Villa Dolce Vita puts you right in the middle of it all. Set just below the medieval town walls, this stylish private villa is surrounded by vineyards producing Malvasia and Teran that thrive in the area’s clay-rich soils... With its sleek design, infinity pool, and outdoor terraces overlooking the Mirna Valley, the villa is the perfect base for wine tasting adventures. Some of Istria’s top boutique producers are just a short drive away, and evenings back at the villa with a local bottle in hand quickly became a ritual. If you’re looking to explore Motovun’s wine scene in comfort and total privacy, this is it. Read more

Relaxed, warm, and authentic. That's how we would describe Casa Rossa Motovun. Set in the heart of Istria’s rolling wine country it's surrounded by olive groves and vineyards that stretch toward the amazing hilltop town of Motovun. This lovingly restored 19th-century manor house blends simple elegance with genuine Croatian charm. Inside, rooms feel welcoming with rustic details - exposed stone walls, wooden beams, and windows opening onto vine-draped gardens... But it’s the personal touches that shine: homemade olive oil, garden-fresh vegetables for brunch, and a bottle of the estate’s own Malvazija waiting when you arrive. Guests can wander through the nearby vineyards, join an informal tasting in the family cellar, or head into the hill town for panoramic views and local truffles. It’s the kind of place you’ll want to return to, not just for the wine, but for the feeling of being truly welcomed. Read more
