Can't you use a firewall for this?
Anyway, my guess is it's probably better to use a separate vlan or a DMZ for that. But given my poor security experience, others can probably better help you on this one
To my knowledge, devices within a VLAN can see eachother, because they do not cross the firewall (since they are layer 2). I may be wrong, but that's my experience and what I've read.
You can use host firewalls or l2 firewalls (sometimes called transparent mode). Many hypervisors offer l2 firewall features. You can also enable l2 isolation on some network devices.
