Description

Boasting a spacious garden with a private swimming pool overlooking tranquil olive groves, Villa Moni at the boutique Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery Estate is the perfect place to step back into nature whilst soaking up the warm Istrian sunshine with your loved ones. The stone villa has been thoughtfully designed to echo the traditional architecture of this stunning coastal region of Croatia, while the elegant, understated décor of the villa’s relaxed interior space perfectly encapsulates the effortless natural beauty and laidback way of life to be found amongst the verdant cypress trees and sun-drenched vineyards of the Istrian Peninsula. Azure skies and the gentle sea breeze will draw you outside to Villa Moni’s peaceful garden each morning, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the cool waters of your own private swimming pool. You may feel inclined to spend the rest of the morning lounging by the pool, relaxing in the shade of a bespoke wooden gazebo in the company of a good book. However, if you are feeling the pull of the sparkling Adriatic coastline, the Boho Beach Club by Meneghetti is less than two kilometres away, with a private transfer service arranged by the hotel’s attentive staff. Here, you can unwind in a private beach area with canopied sunbeds, go for an invigorating swim in the ocean or explore the coast on a boat trip. Returning to Villa Moni, you will be charmed once again by the cool and restful ambience you find inside. The villa’s tasteful open plan living space boasts high, vaulted ceilings and an inviting lounge area with a sumptuous sofa and a flatscreen TV, the perfect place to relax after a day spent exploring the wonders of Istria. The bright and airy living space also features two convenient workstations and views of the pool and the lush green gardens. A well-appointed kitchenette offers rustic wooden finishes and modern appliances, as well as a large breakfast bar. Here, everyone can gather together over a morning cup of coffee to discuss the day’s adventures. Meanwhile, the casual outdoor seating area on the villa’s wooden terrace makes for a dreamlike spot, where you can linger over a glass of excellent Meneghetti wine at sunset. The villa’s welcoming bedroom boasts a king-size bed and a flatscreen TV, with relaxed furnishings and plenty of contemporary charm. Air conditioning featured throughout the villa ensures that your nights are as restful as your days are relaxing, while the sofa in the lounge area of Villa Moni’s main living space can also be converted into a queen-size sofa bed for two additional guests. A modern en-suite bathroom includes double vanity basins, a glass-panelled walk-in shower and a luxurious bathtub where you can enjoy an indulgent soak in peace, before a visit to the excellent Meneghetti Restaurant, with dinner and drinks under the stars.

Nestled within the verdant hills which surround the charming town of Bale in Croatian Istria, just a few minutes' drive from the sea, Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery is the perfect symbol of this beautiful region’s ancient connection with its land. The tranquility of the hotel’s setting cannot be overestimated - surrounded by rolling vineyards and green olive groves, the Meneghetti Estate is also home to an award-winning winery and olive oil production centre, as well as an outstanding restaurant which has been recommended by the Michelin Guide. With a luxurious spa and a private beach club located nearby, the hotel is the perfect place to discover an authentically relaxed pace of life in the rejuvenating Croatian sunshine. In Istria, the irresistible Adriatic coastline inevitably beckons. Here, you can enjoy the luxury of the Meneghetti Beach Club or take a private boat trip to explore secret cliffs and romantic bays. The beaches of nearby Barbariga are rugged and remote, while the white pebble shores and crystal-clear waters of Peroj are fifteen minutes away from the estate by car. The charming town of Rovinj is a coastal gem on the west coast of the Istrian peninsula. A picturesque seaside town with narrow cobblestone streets and colourful architecture, here you can relax by the turquoise waters of Lone Bay Beach or enjoy a variety of watersports on Mulini Beach. Later, wander the labyrinthine streets of the old town before making your way to the hilltop Church of St. Euphemia, where you can take in panoramic views of the ocean and the cluster of tiny islands which surround Rovinj. Hiking and biking enthusiasts will be enchanted by the scenic trails which are available in the immediate vicinity of the Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery, which lead out to the coast or inland to pretty medieval towns such as Bale. For an exciting day trip across the water, the untouched natural beauty of Brijuni National Park is a short boat journey away from the fishing port of Fažana. Here, visitors can enjoy the fresh island air whilst playing a round of golf or taking to the sea to enjoy kayaking, scuba diving and snorkeling adventures. Villa Moni is an obvious choice for wine lovers, with individual winery tours and intimate group tastings on offer during your stay at the Meneghetti Estate. An olive oil tasting is another excellent way to discover the joys of Istrian cuisine and learn more about an ancient tradition associated with this special region of Croatia. For those who wish to try something a little different, why not speak to the attentive staff at the hotel about a unique truffle hunting expedition? With experienced truffle hunters and their dogs, you can discover the traditional techniques used to forage for these rare and highly-prized plants in the charming Istrian woodlands. With spectacular facilities and a superb location on the sprawling grounds of a five-star luxury hotel, Villa Moni offers guests a truly unique getaway in the Croatian countryside, where you can indulge in delectable gastronomic experiences, lounge by the pool, explore the Istrian coastline or simply enjoy the sunshine and the idyllic natural surroundings of your own private oasis.
