Meneghetti Wine Hotel and Winery - Relais & Chateaux

From the moment we parked our car we were given amazing service from the staff at hotel. Smoth and easy chek in with a litlle history tour of this amzing property. Nestled between vineyard and the seaside this property is marvelous, spacious and decorated with taste. Every litlle detail is classy and with style. Our room was large with huge bed, and huge bathrom with all the necessities you might need for your stay. It has been cleaned and maintended perfectly, with excellent houskeeper keen to help at any times. We loved pools and sun beds, and apecially the wellnes centar, which for one Saturday morning was just ours so we enyojed imensly. Breakfast is a la carte with variety of options which is served by attentive staff. We have adored our breakfast waitress Lucija, she tended to our whishes with smile and efficiency specially with litlle girl who was amazed by yummi waffles and freshly squeezed juices. The setting of the hotel is idyllic with perfectly groomed grass and trees and it is maintained perfectly. We have enjoyes ourselves immensly and be sure to go back any time soon. All beeing said, service is beyond expectation, staff are soo frendly and attentive soo they deserve special thank you.

Excellent spot. Everything stood out as exceptional. Beautiful location, excellent service, delicious food. The entire staff was so very friendly. The wine is just flawless, absolutely wonderful. Will definitely be coming back for another stay.

The hotel is located off the beaten track, quiet and in a very well-kept garden surrounded by vineyards. The individual houses are generously spread throughout the complex. However, most of the rooms are not as private as the photos on the website indicate, except for the two one bedroom villa with private pool La Basa and La Alta. We stayed in the villa La Alta and were very satisfied with the villa. The two villas are individual houses with large gardens, private pool and a covered lounge with sun loungers and a garden table with sofas. The villa is very spacious and was brand new when we stayed. The only minus point of the villa was that there was a kitchen, but cutlery, dishes and glasses were almost completely missing. The two villas La Basa and La Alta are next to each other, are identical and of the location equally good. If you don't want to book either villa, I recommend a house either in the back or in the very front with a view of the vineyards. Less recommendable are the houses just behind the oliveto restaurant. The hotel has two outdoor pools, so there were always free loungers. For the colder days there is a nice spa with indoor pool, sauna and gym. The drive to the Meneghetti Beach Club is on a very bumpy road, which needs some work. The beach club has a large parking lot, plenty of lounge chairs and a kiosk with a small selection of food and drinks. If you like to swim in the sea, you will find your place here, but you should not expect a beach club like in Ibiza. We always had dinner at the hotel, two of which were in our private lounge at the villa. The food is very good, but if you don't eat meat or fish, the choice is limited. Our favorite meal was the truffled mashed potatoes. Brand new, a separate winery has been built across the street from the hotel for tastings and sales of wines, olive oil and edibles. One afternoon we did an olive oil tasting on the veranda. The tasting was not that exciting, but the location overlooking the vines and the facility was worth it. The only downside is the remote location, especially if you want to go sightseeing. It takes 15 minutes to drive to Bale and 40 minutes to drive to Pula. However, Bale has a very pretty old village center with a few restaurants. We were glad not to have chosen Pula for the overnight stay. We were enchanted by the tranquility and the beautiful hotel grounds. We can highly recommend the hotel, especially the two villas La Basa and La Alta.

Took my retreat guests to Meneghetti for wine tasting & dinner. Wine tasting experience was phenomenal!! But dinner ruined our trip! First off the waiter was rude & difficult and then beginning an hour after dinner we all started going down. 9/11 of us were vomiting & diarrhea for over 30 hours straight. It was the only thing we all did together as a group that day - so there is no doubt it was the food. I’ve been told this wasn’t the first time this restaurant has had complaints about making people sick. Oh and after we reported… no sorry at all and no refunds. Just excuses and rudeness. Unbelievable!! One star because honestly the wine tasting experience was one of the best I’d ever done. Incredible staff, amazing wines but was that worth puking my guts out for a day and a half?

What a wonderful oasis this vineyard is, full of nature, luxury and great details! From the security personnel to the sommelier, everyone plays his role to make you happy and enjoyable. The wines are superb, the food world class, we will be back for sure!

Went to family wedding here, what can I say absolutely stunning place. The rooms are huge and the place as a whole is a dream. Food is all Michelin standard and even the breakfast was superb. If you have deep pockets you have got to stay here. Definitely on a par with other 5 star hotels around the world.

Overall a very wonderful stay. We stayed in one of the residences, and it had a lovely living room & half bath on the bottom floor & a bedroom with a bathroom on the second floor. The grounds were beautiful -- vineyards and two nice pools. The dinner we had was amazing. The staff was attentive and kind and helpful when we asked for recommendations for local attractions & restaurants.

A fantastic stay. Incredible food and service. The wine made in-house is also amazing. A private pool at the villa and peaceful surroundings. The beach bar is simple, relaxing, with a cocktail and the warm waters of the Adriatic.

This hotel is clearly a country mile above the competition. It has a range of rooms and so in price alone could be compared to many places close by in Istria and other areas of Croatia but it simply is warmer yet implacably professional, finished to a degree not easily found in hotels and delivers service that is very hard to find internationally. This hotel is the reason to come to Croatia.
