Hotel Review

The Istrian peninsula is renowned as Croatia’s best wine region; with bucolic valleys and picturesque hill towns, the area is a beautiful setting for a country getaway. Cue: Roxanich, a boutique wine hotel perched on the hillside, just below the heritage town of Motovun. With designer interiors, an acclaimed fine dining restaurant and an extensive wine cellar, this luxury bolt-hole is perfect for a romantic weekend away. Entering through the traditional stone facade, guests are greeted by friendly and helpful staff. Inside, the interior design balances old and new, with industrial exposed pipes criss-crossing original wooden beams. This theme is carried throughout the hotel, where guestrooms boast colourful feature wallpaper contrasted with wooden floors. The hotel's executive suites offer a retro feel, with a lime green and a mahogany palette. Views from the hotel are second-to-none, overlooking Motovun’s old town or the Mirna valley. The best spot to enjoy the view has to be the hotel's seasonal outdoor infinity pool, a picture-perfect romantic moment. For dinner, head to the hotel's excellent fine dining restaurant, with its focus on local Istrian ingredients and - of course - great wines. Wine tastings are available and there is a wine boutique so you can take your favourite bottles home with you. A beautifully appointed boutique hotel, perfect for wine lovers.
