. Fortunately, the re-
ception desk at Hotel Kaštel kindly dispenses tourist information. Ask for the free map of
Motovun and surroundings, which lists restaurants, shops, wineries, and accommodations.
Arrival in Motovun
Motovun's striking hilltop setting comes with a catch: Visitors usually have to hike up part
of the way. A steep, twisty road connects the base of the hill with the Old Town up top. If
it's not too crowded, drive as far up this road as possible until you're directed to park in the
lot partway up (near the lower church, a steep 10-minute uphill walk to the main square,
22 kn/day). On very busy days, this lot can fill up; in this case, the parking attendant at the
foot of the hill will direct you to park in the lot there, then ride the shuttle bus up. If you're
staying at Hotel Kaštel, follow the procedure explained under “Sleeping in Motovun,” later.
If staying elsewhere, ask your
soba
host for advice.
