Motovun which is very close to the most frequented Adriatic tourist centres, the Istrian cities of Poreč, Rovinj, Umag, is the favourite excursion destination of tourists from Istrian hotels, but also the centre for congress and cultural tourism. The solitude of the Motovun hill, the peace and quiet, offer ideal conditions for concentrated and undisturbed scientific work, cultural, business and other types of meetings. Other than the closed areas used in winter, the hotel terrace and gardens are favourable for such activities.

The Hotel Kaštel has many years experience hosting local and international scientific gatherings, seminars, summer schools, workshops, artist colonies and literary manifestations and our long-time guests include members of numerous international universities, academies, scientific institutes, associations and non-government organisations.
