Villa Merlot

Luxury Redefined

✨ Brand new — be the first to stay. Villa Merlot is a beautifully crafted contemporary retreat where thoughtful design meets effortless Mediterranean living. Spread across 115m² of luminous interior on a generous 950m² private estate, this intimate villa delivers a sense of openness that is simply extraordinary — with soaring ceilings reaching up to 4.5m in the living room and bedrooms, flooding every space with natural light and an unmistakable feeling of freedom.

The bright, open-plan interior flows organically from a stylish living area — complete with a convertible sofa that comfortably sleeps two additional guests — through to a fully-equipped designer kitchen and an elegant dining space. A separate laundry room with guest WC adds a welcome touch of everyday practicality.

Two beautifully appointed en-suite bedrooms offer sanctuary and privacy. The master suite features a generous 180×210cm king-size bed and a sleek walk-in shower bathroom, while the delightful children's room provides two separate 90×210cm beds and its own walk-in shower bathroom — ensuring younger guests enjoy the same comfort and independence.

Step outside and the magic deepens. A sparkling 9×3m heated pool is flanked by four luxury sunbeds and a charming outdoor coffee corner with two armchairs and a small table — the perfect spot to watch the children play in the pool, glass of Istrian Merlot in hand. The generous 50m² covered terrace houses a fully-equipped outdoor kitchen with built-in BBQ and an elegant outdoor dining table for long, candlelit dinners under the stars. A table tennis table invites spirited family tournaments between dips in the pool. The exquisitely landscaped Mediterranean gardens — adorned with ancient olive trees, stately cypresses, and cascading grapevines — frame breathtaking panoramic views across the medieval hilltop town of Motovun and the lush Mirna River valley. Located side by side with Villa Nebbiolo and Villa Riesling, the three villas can be booked together for larger groups.
