Question 1

Is Motovun worth visiting as a day trip from the coast?

Accepted Answer

Yes. The drive from Porec or Rovinj takes under an hour, and three to four hours in the old town is sufficient to see the main sights. A half-day trip combined with a stop in Livade for truffle shopping makes a well-rounded excursion.

Question 2

What is the best time of year for truffle hunting near the town?

Accepted Answer

White truffles are found from late September through January, with peak activity in October and November. Black summer truffles are available from May through August. Guided hunts operate year-round and can be booked through local truffle families.

Question 3

Can you drive into the old town?

Accepted Answer

No. Vehicles must be left in the car park below the medieval gate. Guests staying at accommodation inside the walls can arrange luggage drop-off with their host, but the lanes themselves are pedestrian-only.

Question 4

When is the Motovun Film Festival and how do I get tickets?

Accepted Answer

The festival takes place for approximately five days in late July each year. Day passes and multi-day passes are sold online in advance through the festival website, and a limited number are available at the gate each day during the event.

Question 5

Is there accommodation available inside the old town walls?

Accepted Answer

Yes, but supply is very limited. A small number of boutique rooms and apartments operate within the walls. The majority of visitors stay in valley villages, Livade, Porec, or Rovinj and visit for the day.
