Roxanich Wine and Heritage Hotel

We stayed at Roxanich for one night during our tour of Istria, mainly because of its proximity to Motovun. We booked on arrival and decided to take one of the suites. The receptionist was lovely and very helpful, providing recommendations for local attractions and places to visit. Unfortunately, due to staffing shortages, the hotel restaurant and winery were operating with limited availability that evening. This wasn’t a major issue for us, as we enjoyed an excellent winery visit elsewhere and had dinner in nearby Motovun. The suite offered stunning views over the valley, which was undoubtedly the highlight of our stay. The room was also clean and well maintained. However, the décor felt dated and in need of refurbishment. The blue carpet and matching fabric-covered ceiling showed visible signs of wear, and a large mirror near the entrance was damaged. Overall, the suite lacked the premium feel we expected and felt somewhat tired for the price point. We didn’t have the opportunity to use the spa facilities, which we have heard are very good. While the location and views are excellent, we felt the hotel was overpriced for the quality of the accommodation. Overall, it was an average stay, and in hindsight we would likely have been just as happy in one of the smaller local B&Bs nearby.

This hotel and winery is located on the side of the hill of Motovun town, and has absolutely stunning views of the countryside ('mini-Tuscany'). The hotel itself is super stylish, mixing the original early 1900 exterior with modern design on the inside. Rooms are the opposite of plain - full of bold design choices but super comfortable and welcoming. Two saunas, a solarium, and an outdoor pool (included) add extra luxury. The staff are exceedingly friendly and helpful. We especially recommend Igor who gave us great recommendations for wine pairings with our meal. All in all, a pleasure and absolutely reasonably priced.

We spent two nights at Roxanich and loved the hotel. We had room 1A which has a balcony overlooking the vineyard. The room is huge with a comfortable bed and outstanding views. The clear glass door on the bathroom is the only negative. Breakfast was good but nothing outstanding. We chose not to eat at the restaurant because of the mixed reviews and walked to Motovun instead.

This the nicest place to stay in Motovun. This is a very modern hotel. Our room was very comfortable, and had some really wild wallpaper. They have a terrific breakfast and great service. They offer underground parking, but you have to take an odd elevator ride to get in and out of the garage.

Very nice hotel and winery , it is fascinanting to see all their production , storage and Wine cellars but the Wine is not my kind of taste
