Overview

The Meneghetti Hotel and Winery sits on the Istrian Peninsula and is just a few minutes from the Adriatic Sea. Its centerpiece is an old stone farmhouse dating back to the 19th century. It offers rooms in an old farmhouse, a newly built addition, and a renovated villa. All are luxurious, but some are more visually modern. Moreover, both the Olivetto bar and restaurant rely on their own wine and olive oil.

Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is a destination as well as a lasting legacy. The property was founded in the early twentieth century. It was initially a rural farmhouse, but it has evolved into a luxury haven that caters to travelers and wine enthusiasts. The hotel is a voyage into the past that offers a view in harmony with nature.

You can also enjoy winery visits, tastings, and tasty meals in one of the two restaurants on-site. Moreover, the hotel offers a free Wi-Fi connection, a bar at the poolside, babysitting, and yoga classes.

Location

Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery sits in the Croatian countryside. It is also nestled among olive groves and vineyards. It is a few kilometers away from the coastline. Expect lavender-scented Mediterranean winds, fruity Istrian wine, and starlit solitude.

Moreover, the hotel is about a 30-minute drive from Pula Airport. The hotel can also arrange transfers at an additional cost. Trieste is two hours away by car, while Zagreb and Ljubljana take over three hours.

Design

This hotel combines traditional Istrian architecture with luxurious contemporary design. The stone façades, the olive groves, and vineyards that stretch out in all directions create a timeless image.

The design of the hotel respects nature, and the buildings blend into the countryside. Local materials and traditional construction methods keep the estate connected to its roots. They also offer top-notch luxury and comfort.

Rooms

There are 55 guest rooms and suites. You can choose from accommodation ranging in size between a 28-square-metre room and a spacious three-bed villa. The One-Bedroom Residence is 75 square metres. It features a spacious bedroom with beautifully carved beams. It also has innovative dining and living areas, as well as a spacious bathroom equipped with dual sinks.

Moreover, you can upgrade to get your private pool. The famous Istrian sunsets can be enjoyed while sipping on your Negroni, as crickets chirp lazily and ice gently clinks.

Dining

Meneghetti Restaurant places a strong emphasis on the freshest local ingredients. These include vegetables from the garden, olive oils from the groves, and Chardonnays and Merlots straight from the winery.

However, it's best to be more careful when you dip your bread in the olive oil. Otherwise, you might go overboard before even getting close to the main course. It's a true feast: braised Boskarin, cured Istrian beef, fresh oysters, and monkfish wrapped in prosciutto.

You can finish with some artisanal cheeses or a plum tart from the nearby dairy farm.

Moreover, Poolside Oliveto offers a casual lunch, but its food is still delicious. The menu includes a chilled tomato-strawberry gazpacho as well as an Adriatic blue crab salad. Mains include grilled swordfish, traditional Istrian Fuži, and summer truffles.

You can also relax in zebra-striped chairs in the Lobby Bar and enjoy a classic rosé wine. Or, go to the Meneghetti Beach Club, where you can order an ice cream with a piña colada while watching the sea lapping at the shore.

Spa & Wellness

Menghetti has so much to offer besides a vineyard. It is also an upscale Spa.

The Spa offers vino-oleo therapies, which use red wine serums and cold-pressed olive and grape oils produced on the estate. If that makes you feel woozy, there are also two pools indoors, a Finnish steam room, and a sauna. There are also multiple relaxation areas.

Moreover, the first floor features two indoor pools, saunas, and treatment rooms. Two outdoor swimming pools are also available to guests. The spa is open until late at night.

The main pool is open from 9 am to 8 pm. The smaller pool provides a more private experience. It features terraces with views of olive trees and vineyards. The indoor pool is also open from 9 am to 8 pm. One of the pools is for adults, while another welcomes children.

Sustainability

The hotel has gardens, vineyards, and olive groves where it grows fresh herbs, vegetables, and wine. This supports the zero-kilometer cuisine of the restaurant. They also use groundwater to irrigate the crops. Meats, seafood, and white truffles also come from local sources on the Istrian Peninsula.

Pet-friendly

There is also plenty of room for all your pets in the hotel rooms. Dog beds, water bowls, and snacks will be provided for a daily fee.
