We had a wonderful time!
10 / 10Outstanding·Aug 2025
The House, pool and area were absolute great! We were there for two weeks with our 4 sons from 8 to 16 years and the house was perfect with the separate sleeping rooms with own bathrooms. There was no disturbance from each other and we as parents had the "master room" with the small terace that is invisible from the other rooms, the garden/pool or the neighbour house.The house has a wide open living area and kitchen with big windows and is exactly like you can see it in the pictures. We had absolute nothing to complain - the pool was good with low chlorine and as pool owners we know how hard it is to keep the values OK in warm times. We had nearly 40C air temperature and the pool was intense used for playing, sports and chilling.As expected, there were many mosquitoes outside at dusk and at night, but we were well prepared with “technical equipment.” However, you should definitely be careful when ventilating and keep the nets closed in all bedrooms and bathrooms. Then the insects won't be a problem.However, anyone who comes without incense coils, vaporizers, or insect spray in these latitudes has only themselves to blame if they get bitten - that's nature! And you're right in the middle of it: All around you is impenetrable forest—butcher's broom (Ruscus aculeatus) and blackberries prevented an “adventure attempt”. But if you stay on the paths, everything is fine.The way to the house is also a small adventure and you should not drive a lowered sports car.Great!

The house was as listed although some of the kitchen utensils were quite worn. We had feared how hot the house would be during the night and the amount of mosquitoes. None of those two things turned out as a challenge. The bedrooms were easy to cool down at night after sunset if the shades had been used during the day. Loved the large clothing storage in each room making it easy to get unpacked and organized. The house is situated so it is possible to walk to Motovun through the wine fields (4 km walk each way and fairly easy to find your way). We highly recommend the local winery 500 meters from the house, their restaurant in Motovun and the Tomaz winery for a wine tasting. We did encounter a few issues with the house - two of the toilets not working, WiFi running out of data and pool in need of cleaning. Our contact Caroline was extremely responsive and tried to resolve the issues. The pool couldn’t be used the last day though due to the poor water quality which is of course quite unfortunate when you have seven days in a house.
