A Boutique Wine Estate, Relais & Châteaux Gem
Nestled in the heart of Istria’s rolling vineyards and olive groves, Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is the quintessence of boutique luxury in Croatia—a peaceful gastronomic sanctuary that appeals to wine lovers, food enthusiasts, and travelers seeking elegant seclusion.
Set among 120,000–385,000 m² of estate land near Bale, just 20 km from Rovinj and Pula, Meneghetti is a fully-fledged winery-hotel with award-winning wines and olive oil—anchored in calm countryside elegance and nestled in the region’s famed terra rossa soil. It has been a Relais & Châteaux member since 2013.
Hotel
Guests are treated with around 50 rooms, suites, residences, and private villas set in restored 19th-century stone buildings and modern wings. Interiors feature hardwood floors, antique or contemporary décor, bespoke artworks, and amenities like Frette linens, minibars, Wi‑Fi, flat-screen TVs, and plush bathrooms. Residences and villas include terraces, gardens, some with private pools—ideal for families or romantic escapes.
Guests can also tour the estate’s boutique winery with tastings of 14 estate wines (Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Chardonnay, Malvasia, Teran) and sample award-winning olive oil—widely acclaimed by international guides like Flos Olei.
Dining
Dining here is rooted in Istrian tradition and refined with a modern twist. The Meneghetti Restaurant, Michelin-recommended, excels with seasonal, locally sourced ingredients—homemade pasta, truffle dishes, fresh seafood, and Meneghetti estate wines and olive oil. Breakfast is served in the country-style kitchen courtyard with homemade bread, honeycomb, cheese, and more.
Spa
Two outdoor and one indoor heated pool are avilable for guests to unwind. Spa & Energy Clinic offers sauna, massages, beauty rituals (including olive-oil treatments), yoga, and fitness facilities. From the moment you arrive, the senses are stirred: lavender, rosemary, and sage drift on the Mediterranean breeze, their origins rooted just beyond the spa doors, in our own gardens, vineyards and olive groves. This is the quiet foundation of their garden-to-spa ethos, where wellness begins not with invention, but with nature’s generous hand.
