A DIFFERENT KIND OF GETAWAY

Some places deserve more than an afternoon.

Stay for the quiet morning streets. For the valley, slowly changing colour. For a walk into the forest with a family who knows it by heart. This is Motovun, with time to feel it.

01 / THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE PLACE

A family welcome. An Istrian way of life.

In historic Villa Bazziaco, built in 1862, the Kotiga family welcomes you to a personal corner of Motovun. A place for a morning coffee above the valley, and a comfortable return after a day outdoors.

Downstairs, their Miro Tartufi shop connects your stay to a family tradition of truffles. Follow that story from the stone streets into the forest, then back to the table.
