Villa Borgo B&B

Quaint B&B at the top of the hill, the sweetest staff, and breakfast with a view!

Motovun is a charming hilltop town in the middle of northern Istria. The Villa Borgo is located almost at the top, just below the castle. The rooms are simple, the beds comfortable, and the water hot. The staff and the breakfast are both great.

Motovun is a tiny village with very few hotels and restaurants. The old.town is pedestrian only so parking is 'down the hill' and the hotel car picks you up. We had a valley view adjacent to communal terrace. Hitel does a great.job ahutting terrace.down at 10 pm for noise control. Super.friendly staff and a.bonus - well.stocker honor bar in lobby w chilled beer, water, local.wines. corkscrew handy, did not need to ask. Even supplied quality glassware!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Borgo. The room is a bit small but very clean and equipped with everything you need. Very good quality beddings and linen. Breakfast was amazing! They offered freshly made omelette every morning and you can even have it with truffles! The view from their private balcony is breathtaking. You can see the entire valley from there. We enjoyed having breakfast on the balcony. Great location where you can walk to pretty much everything in Motovun tho parking can be challenging since it’s a small town with very limited parking. They offer a pick-up from a parking lot to the hotel so you won’t have to carry your luggage yourself.

Villa Borgo is a magic place in a wonderful medival town. Most people come from the coast for a day-trip or one night. I stayed here with my parents and my teenage daughter for five nights, and we didn't regret it at all. The medival streets of Motovun are not easy to walk for elder people (like my parents), but also here the staff of Villa Borgo is helping tremendously, by example by transfer to the parking lots. The staff is absolutely great and extremely helpful, they made our stay especially enjoyable! And they prepare a wonderful breakfast with the best scrambled eggs ever, normal style or with truffles! From the terrace of Villa Borgo, you have a perfect view on the valley, and at night a perfect sundown. We were sitting a whole day on this terrace, enjoying the view, the people passing by, and the drinks that are served by the bar on the other side of the street (B5, connected to Villa Borgo). Before 9 am and afzer 9 pm, you can walk the medival walls for free - don't miss this!. Food is not cheap in Motovun, but it is worth it, it is of very high quality - and you will most probably never eat better truffles! They prepare everything with it, from truffled omelett and truffled pasta (both around 12.- to 19.-) to truffled pannacotta (!). I am quite positive that my first visit in Villa Borgo was not my last one!

The Villa Borgo is all about the staff and service. Our room was just ok, and we didn’t like climbing three flights of stairs coming and going…but the building is what it is, and they have a lovely terrace with an inc red double view. We ate well, with a freshly made breakfast for us, and great local restaurants. Plus, chocolate in their espresso!

We had an excellent two-night stay at Villa Borgo. When we arrived by car and parked at the bottom of the hill, they promptly took us up the rest of the way by shuttle, as some of our party have limited mobility. Our two rooms included the gigantic lower level apartment, with a large bathroom and kitchen. Our second floor room had a beautiful view over The Valley. The beds are comfortable and the breakfast has a great selection of hot and cold foods, but the highlight of this place is its wonderful staff. Slaven and his team take excellent care of their historic building and their guests. We hope to stay with them again soon!

Great location and comfortable rooms. Views are amazing. Soaps and shampoos were missing/not available. Breakfast is mediocre compared to other B&Bs we’ve stayed in.
