According to Telegram.hr, October 2024.

Casa Borgo Ventidue is a Motovun pearl with a view of a fairy-tale landscape, according to Journal.hr, May 2025.

There’s something about the silence of Istria, among the old stone houses that defy time, in the view that descends from the hills towards the vineyards and olive groves. Istria is a feeling of warmth, peace and tranquility. And when you translate that feeling into space, you get a house like Casa Borgo Ventidue.

On the most beautiful part of the Motovun hill, on a quiet street, where only a few vehicles of local residents pass by daily, and at the same time in the very center of Motovun, just a few steps from restaurants, taverns and terraces, there is a house dating back to 1760.

What was once in extremely poor condition and needed complete renovation, is today decorated in simple Japanese wabi-sabi style.

The works lasted three and a half years. Architect Nina Pahović from the Pahović architectural studio signed the first phase of the house renovation, the roof design, statics and the project concept. Sandro Užila was responsible for the complete interior and exterior design.
