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.

My husband and I enjoyed our days in Switzerland immensely. Each hotel was perfect for us. Each was different. Each was in a great place for walking trips and good food. We were a bit nervous about the reservations, but you exceeded our expectations. We will use RoutePerfect again and tell others about the great tools you have that make trip planning so much fun. Thank you.

All that I can say is that I love RoutePerfect! It really helped me to organize my trip! I was very satisfied with all of our hotels. We visited more than 10 cities, so the way you organized your website helped a lot to choose the hotels. I was also very surprised by the price. I recommended your website to many people, and of course I am going to use it again on my next trip!
