Pula is the largest city in Istria. Its most famous attraction, the well-preserved Roman amphitheatre called The Arena, is one of the most famous sights in the whole of Croatia. The most famous and important monument, built during the 1st century AD and completed under the reign of Emperor Vespasian, this amphitheatre is the sixth largest in the world (of those that still exist).

Taking a trip to Cape Kamenjak (south of Pula), is an ideal way to spend a day, where you will find gorgeous caves, bays, beaches and turquoise waters of this nature park. Experience the untouched nature of the Brijuni National Park with its golf course.
Come for relaxation, enjoying beautiful nature and sea, experience typical Istrian dishes, particularly truffle specialities, seafood and olive oil.
Or … just enjoy the sun and relax by the pool in this secluded area, after all – you are on vacation!

Perfect holiday in a beautiful villa
The villa and the location exceeded our expectations . The photographs depict a spacious and luxurious accommodation and we were more than satisfied from the moment we arrived . From day one we felt completely relaxed in our villa and surroundings with a beautiful pool . There were 7 in our party which the villa accommodated very comfortably and the covered patio area and seating were fantastic . The owners massimo and Eva could not do enough for us and on request before arrival got us milk bread and a few other groceries which they refused to take payment for !! During our stay they gifted us a bottle of olive oil and ouzo type drink which they themselves produce which was greatly appreciated by all . The villa was conveniently situated to airport which was approx 10 mins by car and at the foot of a beautiful small town called galziana easily reached by bikes provided by the owners . The coastal town of fanzana was only 5 min away by car in the other direction and provided some fantastic eating places , views and boat trips to the surrounding Islands . Overall our party had the perfect holiday meeting the needs of young and old alike . We would definently make this trip again some time in the future.
Wir wurden sehr herzlich vom Vermieter Sam empfangen. Das Haus war wunderbar, genau das richtige für uns. Für uns, die wir nach Ruhe und Erholung gesucht haben. Gerne wieder.

Die Villa von Sam hat alle Erwartungen übertroffen. Jedes Schlafzimmer hat sein eigenes Bad. Jedes Zimmer ist klimatisiert u kann mit einem Rollladen komplett verdunkelt werden. Der Pool hat genau die perfekte Größe u bei unserer Ankunft war alles suuuuper sauber und sehr einladend. Zum Schluss möchte ich noch unseren Host Sam erwähnen. Er war mehr als gastfreundlich, hilfsbereit u zuvorkommend. Lange Rede, kurzer Sinn: Ein perfekter Urlaub für uns alle❤️❤️❤️

Thank you so much for taking the time to write these nice words about your holiday. We were so happy that you liked it and would gladly welcome you again in the future.
Warm regards!
Uns hat der Aufenthalt sehr gut gefallen. Begonnen mit einem netten Empfang des Gastgeber sowie genauer Erklärung und Führung durch das Haus. Es gab frisches Obst und einen für die ersten Stunden gefüllten Kühlschrank. Das Haus war genau wie beschrieben, alles war sehr sauber und funktionsfähig. Der Garten war ebenso gepflegt und der Pool (sogar mit Massagedüsen) sorgte für Erfrischung. Die Entfernung zum Plodine Supermarkt betrug mit dem Auto nur wenige Minuten. Der nächste Küstenort Fazana war ebenfalls nicht weit weg (genauso wie Pula). Es hat uns sehr gut gefallen und wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen, vielen Dank.

Das Haus liegt ein paar KM von Pula und ebenso ein paar KM von Strand entfernt. Die Lage ist sehr gut. Wir wurden freundlich von dem Vermieter Sam empfangen. Das Haus war gut gereinigt. Klimaanlagen funktionierten einwandfrei, der Pool war ordentlich gereinigt und gewartet. Das Haus machte einen ordentlichen Eindruck.
Verbesserungsvorschläge:
Was fehlt ist an der Terrassenschiebetür ein funktionierendes Fliegengitter, da es viele Moskitos gibt.
Zudem sind die Stühle am Esszimmerzisch (Innen) schon recht stark abgenutzt, das Kunstleder perlt schon ab, da müssen ein paar neue Stühle angeschafft werden.
Kritik:
Die vorhandene Waschmaschine war leider nicht nutzbar, da sie sehr stark gerochen hat und auch ein Trommelreinigungsprogramm keine Besserung verschaffen konnte.
Insgesamt ist das Haus unter anbetracht der kleinen Mängel sehr zu empfehlen.

Dear Patrick,
We appreciate your taking time to provide us with your feedback so that we can improve as much as possible. Your suggestion regarding the chairs as well the mosquito nets in the salon are well noted and we are already looking how to improve the current solution. We are very sorry that you had a problem with the washing machine. The machine is used frequently and cleaned regularly as well, so it came as a surprise to hear that you had a problem. We are just sorry that you didn’t alarm us at the time so that the problem could have been addressed timely.
Thank you so much again for choosing our house for your holidays and we wish you all the best!
Uns hat es in der Villa Lorraine an nichts gefehlt. Ein Wunderschönes Haus, mit tollem Grundstück und Pool. Sam, der Vermieter, war stets zur Stelle und sehr bemüht uns einen schönen Urlaub zu bescheren. Vielen Dank und bis später einmal wieder.

Ich kann mich den guten Bewertungen nur anschließen. Das Haus ist toll, man fühlt sich direkt zu Hause, die Begrüßung durch Sam und Sanja super nett. Wir wollten direkt für nächstes Jahr wieder buchen, war aber leider schon belegt. 😬 Wir werden auf jeden Fall wieder kommen. Vielen Dank an Sam und Sanja.

Traumhafte Unterkunft in einer sehr ruhigen Umgebung
Wir wurden sehr nett von Sam empfangen, er hat uns alles zum Haus erklärt und uns Tipps gegeben, wo man lecker essen gehen kann…bis zum nächsten Supermarkt sind es 5 km.das Haus liegt in einer ruhigen Umgebung, Entspannung pur, der Gärtner kommt freitags und mäht den rasen. Mittwoch wird der Pool gereinigt, da waren wir allerdings nicht da. Im Haus ist alles verfügbar, was gebraucht wird. Zum grillen war Kohle und grillanzünder vorhanden, also wir können nur schwärmen.

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in der Villa mit dem großen Pool und Garten sehr genossen. Alles war wie beschrieben, die Ausstattung hat keine Wünsche offen gelassen.
Besonders gut gefallen hat uns der Pool, der Garten und der schöne Blick über die Oleander in die Olivenbäume.
Das Haus liegt strategisch sehr gut für Ausflüge aller Art. Ein Auto ist allerdings erforderlich.
Der Kontakt mit unserem Vermieter Sam war sehr nett und angenehm. Wir haben uns auch über Getränke und Obst zur Begrüßung und ein nettes Abschiedsgeschenk sehr gefreut.

Dear Rene,
Thank you very much for your review. It was a great pleasure having you as guests in our house, wishing you all the best and kindly note that we would be happy to welcome you again anytime!
Everything was perfectly prepared prior to our arrival. Each room was clean and well-designed. The house is, due to a very committed owner, in best condition. Nothing is missing: the kitchen is fully equipped, the garden is well-kept, even some fresh fruits have been organized before we've arrived and some bottles of good croatian beer have been stored in the fridge. To sum it up: a wonderful and relaxing stay in Galizana with a very kind owner. Keep doing so, kind regards, Andreas

Wir waren mit vier Erwachsenen und einem Kleinkind von 2,5 Jahren in diesem schönen Ferienhaus. Das Haus sowie der Pool waren sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die Küche ist mit allem notwendigem ausgestattet. Es gibt ein Filterkaffee- und Nespresso-Maschine. Der Vermieter ist super nett, hilfsbereit und bei Fragen immer erreichbar. Nach einer Anfrage zu einem Hochstuhl haben sie uns einen besorgt und zur Verfügung gestellt. Zur Begrüßung standen ein Obstkorb auf dem Tisch und kalte Getränke im Kühlschrank. Einfach toll. Einkaufsmöglichkeiten und Strände können in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto erreicht werden. Die Strände in der näheren Umgebung sind gut für Kinder bzw. Kleinkinder geeignet. Wir hatten hier einen sehr schönen und entspannten Urlaub.

We have been here on an eight day Pentecost holiday. Two adults and five kids from 7 till 13 years. I can assure, that all pictures in that offer don’t exaggerate. It is even nicer than on those pictures. The house offers three bedrooms with modern bathrooms at each, an additional bathroom (with washing machine), a nice spacey living room with lounge, kitchen and dining part and is fully equipped with all you need (towels bed clothes etc, even with fresh cold beverages in the fridge when we arrived) Washing machine, dishwasher etc are new and nicely working. Everything was very clean and tidy, the hosts very welcoming and like so many Croatians very very guest friendly.
We’ve spent nice times in the big pool, on the Croatian beaches (closest is like 7 minutes by car) on the lounge-style terrace (roofed), playing table soccer or stayed on the beautiful island of Brijuni or the old town of Pula.
I could tell much more nice things, but I’ll keep it like that: Great stay on a great place, fully recommended for families or groups of adults as you just like. Feel free to ask any further questions!

Wir waren mit der Familie Ende August eine Woche in diesem wunderschönen Haus. Alle schönen Städte und Strände sind in wenigen Minuten mit dem Auto zu erreichen, die Lage gefiel uns sehr gut. Fahrräder standen uns auch zur Verfügung. Das Haus hat einen gepflegten großen Pool mit großem umzäunten Garten. Die Einrichtung des Hauses ist modern sehr gepflegt, goßzügig geschnitten (jedes Schlafzimmer hat ein eigenes Bad mit Dusche) und mit allem ausgestattet was man für einen schönen erholsamen Urlaub braucht. Der Vermieter hat uns herzlich empfangen und war zu jederzeit für uns erreichbar.
Hier ist der Urlauber König :-)
Wir kommen wieder!

Dear Jelena, we thank you very much for your kind review, really appreciated. Your lovely and dear family and friends are always welcome in our house.
The property was beautifully clean (especially the pool) and well equipped. Sanja, Sam and Massimo were very helpful although we didn't need to contact them throughout our stay. I chose the villa for the good-sized pool, shaded lounging and eating areas and BBQ, none of them disappointed.
Galizana is really convenient for Pula airport (20 minutes max), major Supermarkets and a 15-minute drive to the coast and restaurants in Fazana. Wifi was excellent for all our devices. There are no restaurants within walking distance despite what Google maps will tell you, however the village has 2 coffee bars, a bakery, 2 useful small markets and a butcher all less than a mile stroll away.
The villa is off the main road so make sure you get instructions for the last few yards (on arrival) as sat nav will confuse you.
