    Nothing at all. It’s a quirky house in a stunning location. Quiet, peaceful, restorative.

    We went in July and the weather was amazing. Sat by the pool with our baby. The house has so much character and the town in amazing. It’s great to get away from the tourists in Croatia and be somewhere peaceful and picturesque.

    The house renovation looks like it was done on a budget. The interior finish lacks attention to detail and is quite rough in places. The photos on Booking.com make the place look better than it is in real. The bathroom is on the ground floor, two floors below the bedroom. The internal staircase steps are very high and steep, at least one and a half or even double the height of normal stair steps. The swimming pool photo being the first image you see on Booking.com is misleading, as the pool is not attached to the back of the house, it’s somewhere else in the neighbourhood. The place is a bit overpriced for what you get.

    This beautiful old house is in a good location in Motovun and has its own parking place down on the main road. It has an aesthetic that feels comfortable enough and relaxed. Many of the structural parts of the original old house are still visible and give the interior character. There is a little patio at the back, off the bedroom floor, which is nice for breakfast. The kitchen is well enough equipped. The bed is comfortable. The communication with the host was helpful and friendly, giving all the instructions necessary for easy self check-in.

    The bathroom facilities were on the ground floor which meant going down the stairs during the night which isn't so good when you are older! The pool was "seasonal" and not open mid-May when we visited and the pool appeared to be off-site.

    The villa is full of character, very rustic feel with stone walls and wooden beams. The location was perfect for visiting Motovun and the pricing was very reasonable. There was a parking space available which was very handy and the owner Goran was very friendly and charming. We had a peaceful one night stay.

    The water heating tank is too small. Made showers really uncomfortable. I believe it’s better in the summer!

    A truly charming stay! This beautiful old Istrian villa is full of character, blending rustic charm with modern comforts. The stone walls, wooden beams, and peaceful surroundings made for a perfect escape. We loved relaxing in the space and enjoying. It’s clear the owners take great care of the place, everything was spotless and welcoming. Highly recommend for anyone looking to experience authentic Istria!

    There is nothing about this place that I didn't like.

    I loved everything about this place. The apartment was very clean, well equipped and extremely comfortable. The stone interior had a wonderful rustic and Istrian feel to it. The location is perfect for exploring Motovun and the surroundings, the free parking was also a welcome bonus. The host was very friendly and communicative. I can't recommend this place highly enough.

    We've visited Motovun in December, the flat was very warm, views were amazing, the city is really special. It was very nice to be able to seat next to the fire place, to have a walk around the city and to have morning coffee on the terrace ;)

    Folks may find the steep stairs a challenge if they have mobility issues. We were fine with this though.

    The view was spectacular and the setting in a medieval town is amazing. We used this apartment as a base for exploring the northern Istrian region. It was perfect for our needs and we appreciated the well equipped kitchen. Goran was a great host as well and greeted us at the apartment to go over everything.

    Lovely experience to stay in a 300 year old stone building, renovated into a cosy and comfortable holiday retreat. Everything one needs to self-cater was provided. A dedicated car park was 70m away. Location was perfect to explore Motovun and surrounding villages. Our host Goran was very generous (gave us complimentary wine, olive oil and home-made brandy) and helpful. Highly recommend this accommodation.

    Some people may find it inconvenient to have to carry their luggage up and that the toilet and the room are on different floors, but for us there is no such problem, everything is great!!!

    The house is very beautiful and everything is in it. The host is very kind and the replies are prompt. Thank you very much for the honeymoon gift you prepared for us. I am very happy that I chose this place.

    Absolutely nothing could have made our stay better! We loved this house!

    We absolutely loved staying in this apartment right in Old Town Motovun. As others have said, and as described clearly in the listing, the apartment is on three levels with the bathroom on the lowest. This did not negatively impact our enjoyment - the apartment is so unique and well appointed! The outdoor terrace is a wonderful place to enjoy coffee in the morning or wine in the afternoon! Goran met us at the spot to park our car and then invited us for a drink inside as he shared his story and the history of the apartment. The walk up the stairs/hill to the apartment was as expected and again, part of what we loved about this authentic place. Goran gave good suggestions as to where to eat (did not disappoint) and other towns we may wish to visit during our stay (again, did not disappoint). Thank you, Goran, for being such a gracious host and making our stay in Motovun top notch!
