It was a fun and funky hotel. It was cold and rainy when I was there, but I suspect it would be a great place to hang outside at the pool or on the patio in the warmer weather. Loved the bunk beds, but wish there was a plug or light switch up top. I actually packed a bag to bring up with me that had water, flashlight & a battery pack to charge my phone. The restaurant was great and the truffle pasta was my favorite of the ones I had int he area.

This is a very spot, an old communal wine cellar that's been converted to a large winery and boutique hotel located at the bottom of the hill from Motovun. I was disappointed as I booked a wine getaway package that included wine tasting for two, parking and a bottle of wine only to realize that it would have been cheaper to book the room only and then just add the winery tour at the inn. More on that later. The property is beautiful, unique and quirky. There is an underground garage that access by a giant car elevator so things are different before you even get to your room! We had a valley view room with a king sized bed, the bed was on a raise platform which was kind of cool. The view from our window was gorgeous but it's a very small window and there's only one so I wouldn't bother pay extra for a view room. You really have to be standing right in front of the window to see the view. Other than that the room was comfortable but small, ditto for the bathroom. We had dinner at the restaurant both nights. We'd added the half board option while booking which I wouldn't recommend as it's the exact same price as on the menu and it means you have to take the set course menu. We were able to remove that for the second night which was good as the set menu was exactly the same both nights. The food was decent but not memorable. Breakfast was delicious though, a buffet but good quality and variety including sparking wine. The hotel is a short but steep walk up the hill to Motovun and not too far from Rovinj. There's also many other charming towns a close drive away and the beautiful caves of Slovenia are only an hour away so location is very good. We really enjoyed our wine tour, the sommelier was knowledgable, funny and friendly and you get to tour several levels of their cellars and have a delicious and generous tasting at the end paired with canapes. Note that you can purchase the tour at the hotel for 43 Euros a person. Our package included the tour for two, parking and a bottle of wine which turned out to be a bottle of rose which they sell for 20 Euros a bottle. It would have been about 50 Euros cheaper to book everything separately which seems unfair. If you're considering a stay I'd highly recommend just booking the room and not a package.
