The beginning of Stancija Meneghetti goes far back to the times of the Austro-Hungarian Monarchy when a clever man called Meneghetti built an estate in Istria to host Austro-Hungarian officers in their leisure time. Over time, it earned its reputation as one of the most beautiful estates on the Adriatic coast with its romantic houses, barns, vineyards, and olive groves. Fast forward to the early 2000s, the now abandoned estate was rediscovered by Mr. Miroslav Plišo and his wife, Romana Kajfež. They renovated the estate, built a modern oasis, and revived the production of wine and olive oil. 

Still secluded in the small Istrian county of Bale today, the Meneghetti Wine Hotel & Winery is one of the most luxurious resorts in Croatia and a member of the prestigious Relaix & Chateaux group. Built from century-old stone and surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, this romantic resort welcomes visitors looking for peace, quiet, and top-level service.

An Oasis of Luxury Providing the Best Istria Has to Offer

Every part of the Meneghetti estate oozes magic. The luxurious villas and residences are effortlessly romantic, combining traditional architectural details such as hardwood floors and wooden beams with superbly equipped rooms providing superior comfort. The villas and residences are perfect for a carefree family vacation or a romantic couple's getaway with private gardens and terraces overlooking the groves and secluded pools. 

Next to private residences, the Meneghetti Wine Hotel offers ten luxury rooms and suites with first-class comfort and equally stunning views of the ethereal environment. The hotel's Wellness & Spa Center is equipped with a variety of high-end services designed for ultimate relaxation. If you want to unwind completely, you can enjoy relaxing massages, nurturing body treatments, and an anti-stress sauna. 

If you prefer more active relaxation, plenty of services keep you on the move, including a fitness area, an indoor pool, and two outdoor pools with sundecks. You can also set out on walks or bicycle rides from the resort. During the summer, all guests are welcome to take a dip in the Adriatic sea at the beautiful Meneghetti private beach, with a beach bar close to the estate.
