Beautiful cottage in scenic surroundings

The cottage is an absolute gem, in a very scenic landscape. The house, pool and garden has all the facilities you need, and is very well maintained. Brigita is the best host we have ever visited, and we will be back again. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. 5 stars are not enough!

Gorgeous villa in peaceful location

Brigita and her family are amazing hosts, regularly leaving baskets of fruit, veg & salad, bottles of wine & grappa, jam & even cheesecake! The villa is immaculate and very peaceful. It might be a bit off the beaten track for some, but we travelled to both East & West coasts of Istria in less than hour. There were lovely hilltop towns to visit, beautiful scenery, and very quiet roads. The villa's pool (8x4) was super, & cleaned every other day. Brigita was quickly available via Whatsapp to answer any queries. The villa is in a quiet inland area of Istria, but it was very easy to travel to more touristy parts. Thanks for a fantastic 2 weeks!

Eine ganz tolle Gastgeberin, ein super komfortables Haus, ein warmer Pool alles sehr ordentlich und sehr sauber. Vom Haus aus kann man den Strand in Novgrad in circa 30 Minuten erreichen, auch die Städte Pula und Rovinj sind mit dem Auto gut erreichbar. Das nächste gute Restaurant ist auf dem angrenzenden Berg circa 5 Minuten. 1000 Dank an Brigitta und Ihr Team!

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub

Wir waren 14 Tage in diesem Ferienhaus. Im Haus fehlte es an nichts. Sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet, genauso die Außenanlage. Unsere Gastgeberin Brigita hat dem ganzen noch die Krone aufgesetzt. Volles Verwöhnprogramm mit Wein, Gemüsekorb, Olivenöl und Kuchen. Und gab es Fragen, kam sehr schnell eine Antwort. Wir würden auf alle Fälle wieder hinfahren. Erholen und Entspannen - dann Villa EL!!

Exceptional

Exceptional property - very spacious, very clean, felt we were the first people staying there. Excellent facilities and they all worked.  Property had a premium feel. Recommendations - reserve table on the small terrace at the local in restaurent as Sovinjak, 30 min walk. Pula - better shopping than Porec and Piran and not as touristy. Better all round I thought. Treated to wine and Olive oil from Brigita as well as loads of veg - our host was very attentive. Area very quiet and tranquel.

Beautiful place to relax

This renovated old natural stone house is very beautiful and offers sufficient space for a family with 3 children. The house's appliances/equipment are modern and everything needed is available and in good working condition. The air condition is a bit special though and it takes a little while to get used to how it functions. But it cools reasonably well. The house is tastefully furnished, with care for details. The children enjoyed the swimming pool a lot. The house is located in a very beautiful, scenic landscape. The location is very quiet and perfect to relax and to take a break from a stressful work life. There are many beautiful little villages to visit in the area (15-30 min. to reach by car). It takes about 45 min. to 1h to drive to the coast. The landlord, Mme Brigita, is a lovely, caring and responsive lady. It is very easy to communicate with her and she was always available to provide any assistance. We will always keep fond memories of our stay in her house and will certainly come back at some beautiful time in the future!

Erholung pur

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Es wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und es fehlte an nichts. Alles ist sehr sauber! In Wirklichkeit sieht es noch viel schöner aus, als man auf den Bildern sehen kann. Nach jedem Ausflug haben wir uns darauf gefreut, den Garten zu genießen, uns im Pool zu erfrischen und mit einem Glas Wein auf der Terrasse zu sitzen. Zudem ist Brigita eine sehr nette Vermieterin. Sie hat uns mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten, frischen Eiern, einer Torte, Öl und Weinen aus der Region verwöhnt. Dafür nochmals vielen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder!
