Fantastic apartment with gorgeous gardens and wonderful views of the Istrian countryside.
Location:
The apartment is located at the base of Motovun and it is only a short (although uphill), scenic walk up to the old town. There is a bank and a convenience store with bread, fruit, and snacks located directly across the street. The Parenzana bike trail runs right next to the apartment and you can rent bikes directly from Barbara and her husband, who in addition to owning the apartment are owners of the Istrian tour company, montonatours.com. Barbara is incredibly knowledgable about the area and is more than willing to help you figure out where to eat and what to see and do while visiting Motovun.
The Apartment
The apartment has all of the charms of the old world, but has been very thoughtfully renovated to include all of the necessary modern-day conveniences such as...Wifi, a refrigerator, dishwasher, coffee maker, stove, washing machine, etc. The apartment has everything that you could possibly need and more. Three of us stayed in the apartment and were very comfortable in the two bedrooms (one of the bedrooms is also a sitting room). The apartment is very quiet and and has a lovely, private outdoor sitting area with a grill.
Recommended Things to See/Do:
- Rent bikes and ride the Parenzana trial
- Visit other hill towns and seaside towns, especially Groznjian and Rovinj
- Eat a delicious meal full of truffles at Pod Napun in Motovun (better food and view than Konoba Mondo)
I highly recommend this apartment to others!!
