About this villa rental
This is a luxury self-contained stone house in traditional Istrian style. The house, completed in 2006, has its own walled garden with private swimming pool (8 x 4 metres). It is tastefully equipped with modern kitchen and traditional Istrian style solid wood furniture. The house has a spacious & shady south facing ground floor terrace with barbecue as well as a sunny poolside patio for alfresco eating. There is also a beautiful traditional Istrian open hearth in the living room. Modern central heating also on hand for winter rentals. The shady car port has space for 2 cars but parking on the street is also no problem.
About the owners: We love to use the house as our weekend refuge, also in the wonderful Istrian spring and autumn months. As we also like to cook, the kitchen is spacious and well equipped. We are non-smokers and do not have any pets. Therefore we prefer if you also leave your pets at home and only smoke outside.
Bikes are provided to discover the many paths in the nearby woods and leading to the sea.

Villa was as described - clean and very comfortable with good air con in the bedrooms which was a definite bonus. Great pool for the kids and BBQ was handy too. Tamara was very responsive when we had queries and resolving an issue.
Location was slightly more residential than we had anticipated however was well placed for restaurants, supermarket etc.

Exceedingly well equipped, very clean and well maintained, the house had everything that we could need for our holiday. We stayed with our 3 teenage+ children for two weeks. The help and all the detailed information provided prior to our arrival by Conor (the owner) was excellent and really made our stay hassle free. We were met by Tamra who showed us around the house and rang us during the holiday to check everything was ok - excellent customer service.
We had some unseasonable rain but we spent the days exploring the countryside and surrounding towns. Went to an amusing show at the amphitheatre in Pula, visited lots of stunning hilltop towns and villages, sampled the delicious local wine and olives - what more could we ask for. There are some reasonable local restaurants and we spent a hilarious evening at the Santa Maria restaurant where the 'music' kept us entertained. We enjoyed exploring the different local beaches and just lounging by the pool.
I would thoroughly recommend this house for its location, the facilities, the high standard accommodation and the excellent help and information provided by the owner and his representative in Croatia.

We spent one week of our two week summer holiday in this villa and had a lovely time. It is just as described and the pictures are accurate. It is in a very handy location on the edge of a small village, close to the coast and various pretty coastal towns. It is well appointed inside with a very attractive patio, garden and pool outside. The only real issue we had was that being August it was very hot and although it has thick walls and shutters which made it possible to keep the downstairs coolish, the bedrooms were very warm at night and without aircon or ceiling fans we sweated our restlessly way through the nights. I would certainly recommend the villa with that one caveat.

Five of us (all adults) had a brilliant holiday here. The house was very well equipped with plenty of good quality kitchen stock, towels & bedlinen. It was exactly as described and in a good location, with the garden & pool overlooking open fields. It stays cool inside, even on very hot days.
The village has a general store and a couple of little restaurants plus a pizza takeaway (which we used on our final night). We did do some sight-seeing and shopping in Porec and Rovinj, also went to the Cattunar vineyard (recommend the Teran Barrique red & Malvasia white) - but because of the glorious hot & sunny weather (all week) we spent a lot of time around the pool. Its always clean & sparkling because of automatic filtration system and there are plenty of loungers & easy chairs plus two huge umbrellas (important in middle of day). Also used the BBQ and the washing machine & 2 big drying racks were much appreciated.
The owner (Conor) has given us first-class customer service - even arranging car hire for us. This is a lovely house which I recommend 100% and hope to go back to, sometime in the future...
