Perched on a hilltop, this medieval village is full of relics from its long history, diverse architecture, and a wonderful ambiance.

Motovun/Montona is a medieval town that grew up on the site of an ancient city called Castellieri. It is situated on a hill 270 metres (886 feet) above sea level with houses scattered all over the hill. On the inner walls are several coats-of-arms of different Motovun/Montona ruling families and two gravestones of Roman inhabitants (dating from the 1st century). Since 1999, Motovun has hosted the international Motovun Film Festival for independent and avant-garde films from the U.S. and Europe.

I had an amazing time on my trip and RoutePerfect worked out...perfectly! I cannot express enough how much RoutePerfect helped me plan my perfect trip to Italy. The process was incredibly smooth, the site easy to navigate, and everything was perfect at each hotel and we checked in/out with ease.

Thank you RoutePerfect for a fantastic holiday in Spain. We were extremely happy with all of the hotels, they were excellent. Every hotel we arrived at had all the details, payment information etc. not one problem wherever we went. Will absolutely recommend to everyone we speak to.
