"Host was really helpful and picked us up from the car park. A lovely terrace with a wonderful view. "

"In the perfect spot to walk all around Motovun. Motovun is such a beautiful place, and this was a wonderful place to enjoy it from! "

"This is a wonderful property to relax with a large group of family or friends. Eugen was a wonderful host and easily contactable. We were touched by the gifts we were given (including delicious wine and cake!). The property was clean, well kept and contained everything we needed for our stay. Eugen was also happy to provide restaurant recommendations.There are lots of activities within driving distance including zip lines, kayaking and caves and it was great to come back and relax by the pool after an adventurous day. We thoroughly recommend!"

"Staying in Motovun is a wonderful experience. The history, beauty, and pleasant people make it magical. The hotel sits at the very top of the hill. You have to leave your car at the specified parking lot and walk up. However, after you check in they will provide you with transportation to retrieve your luggage from your car so you don’t have to carry it up the hill. "

"Great place. Highly recommended"

"The property is located in a small neighborhood below Beram just outside Pazin. Its central location provides easy access to hill towns and seaside areas of Istria as well as day trips to explore Slovenia and Trieste. The property manager lives in the neighborhood and always immediately responded to our questions or assistance requests. We arrived mid-September just as the weather became unseasonably cold. As a result, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very chilly as they are not heated. The property description should state that only the common areas are heated & cooled. While the accommodations are very good we would suggest the following to make renters stay even more comfortable: written instructions for operating kitchen appliances (microwave, stove, dishwasher operation is not self-evident); wifi is weak - install boosters; bedrooms need more clothes hangers in armoires (2 per room insufficient); add clothes hooks in bedrooms particularly in bedroom with only shelves in armour; add towel hooks in bathrooms (1 small hook in each is insufficient); wooden sticks/bars to hold shutters open to prevent banging and closing with the wind. We had numerous wasps in the kitchen - their entry point should be found and closed - the property manager stated that they probably entered when we opened the kitchen door and although we were careful and watched this was not our experience. We hope these suggestions are found to help make an excellent rental even better. "
