We are only 20km far from Poreč, one of the most beautiful cities on the sea, where you can enjoy good food, sports and the most beautiful sunsets in the world.

Until we have wine, the holidays will be fine!

We love wine and good food and we want to suggest you some amazing places nearby Dreamhill where to eat, drink or buy wine.

Enjoy Motovun

Motovun is a medieval town 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 ruling families and two gravestones of Roman inhabitants (dating from the 1st century). It offers so many things to see and do, At the main gate of the city walls stands a Venetian Lion with an open book, symbolizing peace and prosperity in the town.
