Your home in the heart of Istria

Motovun Villas are nestled in the peaceful village of Kranceti — set in the valley just below the medieval hilltop of Motovun, surrounded by everything that makes Istria truly special.

  • 🏛️ Medieval Motovun — One of Croatia's most celebrated hilltop towns rises just 5 minutes away, with ancient stone walls and breathtaking views across the Mirna River valley.
  • 🍷 Wine Country — Roxanich, Fakin, and Tomaz wineries are within walking distance. World-class Malvasia and Teran grown right here in the valley.
  • 🍄 Truffle Country — The Motovun Forest, one of the world's last wild truffle habitats, begins at the edge of the village. Zigante and Miro truffle estates are minutes away.
  • 🚴 Hiking & Biking — The legendary Parenzana cycling and hiking trail — a converted 78 km Austro-Hungarian railway route — passes right at the foot of our villas.
