Lovely house and area

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.
Amazing views during evening
Easy to make good coffee - three different brewing methods avaliable
Amazing view of the valley from the pool
The terrace always provides shade during warm days

A great first time in Istria

We had a wonderful stay at Casa Lucia. The house is very spacious, the view of the small village of Motovun is lovely. There is another villa right above you can here from time to time, which was fine to us. It's a truffles region, which we fully enjoyed. We think about coming back! Thanks for having us.

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!

Hoher Erholungsfaktor

Gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus mit wundervoller Aussicht aufs Mirnatal und auf Motovun. Schöne Küche. Große Räume, bequeme Betten, alle Annehmlichkeiten in der Küche. An den Fliesenfugen der Duschen leider teils Schimmel.Pool riesig, sehr sauber und gut gewartet. Die Pooliegen bequem, die Auflagen aber leider verschlissen. Der Zustand der Matten entsprach keinesfalls dem Gesamtzustand der Villa, und auch die Badetücher für den Pool waren teilweise in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Die Leuchten im Pool liefen leider bis 1:00, was uns im Zimmer störte und wir auch aus ökolog. Gründen als unnötig erachteten. Schöner gemauerter Grillkamin. Reichlich getrocknetes Kaminholz vorhanden. Die Moskitos waren auf alle Fälle ein Thema, wenngleich die Schlafräume durch Gelsengitter abgeschirmt. Leider im Erdgeschoß nirgends Gitter an den vielen Fenstern und Glastüren vorhanden, der abendliche Aufenthalt, im Freien unmöglich, in den Gemeinschaftsräumen ebenfalls nicht lange erträglich.Trotz abends geschlossener Türen und Fenster waren die untertags hereinfliegenden Mücken so lästig, dass wir uns manchmal bereits früh in die mückensicheren Schlafzimmer begeben mussten. Ein bis zwei Fliegengittertüren im Erdgeschoß wären wirklich fein gewesen. Das bereitgestellte WLAN ist nur für Geduldige mit kleinen Ansprüchen an Datenmengen und der Bereitschaft, auch mal längere Ausfälle zu tolerieren, passend. Wegen der Mängel in Bezug auf Moskitonetze Erdgeschoß und schlechtes Internet ein Punkt Abzug.

Toller Aufenthalt in der Casa Lucia

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt zu siebt. Der Pool wurde mehrmals gereinigt und hatte eine angenehme Temperatur. Das Haus war bei Ankunft sehr sauber. Auch die Ausstattung der Küche war sehr gut. Mithilfe einiger Anti-Moskito-Hilfsmittel und der Moskitonetze an den Fenstern waren die Stechmücken auch kein großes Problem. Musik am Pool schien auch kein Problem zu sein. Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt!

Ett underbart hus med magisk utsikt

Huset är rymligt och trevligt, väldigt välutrustat. Poolen är stor och välskött. Men det mest fantastiska var utsikten upp mot Motovun, den kunde vi inte se oss mätta på. Det kan vara bra att veta att huset ligger lite avsides, det är kuperat och inte så lätt att gå till byn, vägen ner till huset är brant och kurvig så viktigt att köra försiktigt.

Tolles Haus mit kleinen Einschränkungen

Vorweg möchte ich sagen, dass das Haus im Original genau so ist wie auf den Bildern. Toller und gut aufgeteilter Schnitt der einzelnen 4x Schlafzimmer jeweils mit einem eigenen Bad und abgetrennter Flurtüre. Sehr tolle Küche mit vollwertiger Ausstattung, und einem ansprechenden Wohnzimmer. Während unserer Reisezeit waren die Außenbereiche aufgrund von Moskitos nicht zu benutzen, liegt wahrscheinlich an viel Nässe, gepaart mit warmen Temperaturen, sowie der regenwaldartige Umgebung. Für die Anfahrt zum Haus wird definitiv ein Fahrzeug mit etwas Bodenfreiheit benötigt, die Zufahrt führt über einen Schotterweg sowie ein abschüssiges Bergabstück zum Haus. Das Haus bietet einen super Blick auf Motovun, für die meisten Aktivitäten ist man aber auf das Auto angewiesen. Die Lager ist eher ländlich und lädt in der Ruhe des nichts zur Entspannung ein.

Toller Urlaub

Wir hatten 2 tolle Wochen in Motovun. Das Haus ist sehr schön. Wir verreisten mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern. Die Kommunikation mit Caroline war hervorragend. Sie hat immer sofort geantwortet und sich gekümmert. Aufgrund der Hitze ist der Pool leider schnell grünlich geworden! Eine kurze Meldung und es wurde sich gekümmert. Das Haus liegt sehr idyllisch, dadurch jedoch auch ziemlich abgelegen. Zum Meer sind es 30 Minuten. Der kleine Supermarkt in Motovun ist ok, jedoch nicht überragend. Zum Einkauf muss man nach Porec oder Pazin. Das Einzige über das sich die Besitzer Gedanken machen sollten, ist die Installation einer Klimaanlage. Bei Temperaturen Mitte 30 Grad kann man die Hitze auch mit verschlossenen Fensterläden nicht draußen halten. Alles in Allem hatten wir eine tolle Zeit!

Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Region. Sehr schöne Wander- und Radtouren, Städtebesichtigungen oder Strandaufenthalte. Sehr gut gefallen hat uns die Trüffelsuche mit Miro in Motovun.

Needs air conditioning and mosquito control

I would have given this villa more than 3 stars, but it has two major drawbacks that the owners seem to be reluctant to improve. Firstly, the house is hot – the idea that stone houses are cool in summer is a myth - 500 cm of stone has the same insulating effect as 1.5cm of rockwool. The solution is air conditioning. In response to comments by previous guests, the four bedrooms now have fans (1 broken), but they remain hot, while the beds are provided with sheets and no blankets. Secondly, the area has a lot of mosquitoes. During our stay, everyone was bitten many times – so it would be a good idea if the owners (or their agent) provided fly spray for each of the bedrooms. A better solution would be to provide electric UV insect zappers, which are not expensive. The pool, which is only 1.5 meters deep, has several loungers. In view of the hot sunny weather, it would be a good idea to provide parasols. The nearest shop is in Motovun is a good 10 minutes’ drive away on winding mountain roads. In practice, this means that by car it takes at least 30 minutes each way to reach the nearest supermarkets. The local shop in Motovun is fine for food and most things. Visitors would feel more welcome if the owners arranged for certain basic items to be provided for newly arrived guests – toilet paper, fly spray, matches (for the BBQ), salt, sugar, tea/coffee, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder – things often left by the previous guests, but not worth taking with them. Finally, Caroline, the agent was punctual and efficient when sending e-mails for payment, but it took 5 days before she sent us the code for the box that held the house key. After no response to e-mails, sms, or the telephone, we finally got the key code less than 24 hours before we were due to arrive at the house

Fabulous villa - lovely location

With four children and four adults the villa was perfect for our needs. The villa is well equipped and tastefully decorated - with great outdoor eating areas. The pool was lovely and the location rurally picturesque. Motovun is very beautiful and clear from every window! We had asked about whether there was air conditioning and were reassured that the villa remained cool and therefore wasn’t needed. We didn’t find this and the evening heat was particularly challenging with young children sleeping at night and consequently our quality of sleep! This is probably the one thing that would prevent us returning. The mosquitoes and ants were in force too so remember the bug spray ! Netting at the windows might help the heat to allow you to leave the windows out while avoiding being eaten alive!
