Stilvolles Haus mit toller Aussicht

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt in Motovun genossen. Die Ferienwohnung ist liebevoll eingerichtet und hat eine Terrasse mit toller Aussicht, wo es allerdings während unserer Ferienwoche tagsüber zu heiß war. Nach zwei Tagen hatten wir jedoch auch Zugang zum schönen Garten, wo wir im Schatten sitzen und lesen konnten. Die Vermieterin ist freundlich und hat uns ein paar gute Tips gegeben. Sowohl die West- als auch die Ostküste und die schönen Küstenorte sind gut erreichbar. Motovun selbst hat ein paar nette Restaurants. Ein Supermarkt ist auch zu Fuss zu erreichen. Die Wohnung wäre zu viert wahrscheinlich absolut super gewesen. Da wir zu fünft waren, vermissten wir doch einen gemütlichen Sitzplatz für den Abend, denn alle Sofas wurden als Bett benutzt. Es gibt übrigens keine abgeschlossenen Schlafzimmer, was uns jedoch nicht gestört hat. Uns war nicht ganz deutlich, wohin wir den Recyclingmüll bringen mussten, da die Tonnen abgeschlossen sind. Am Ende stellte sich heraus, dass wir ihn einfach stehen lassen konnten.

Schöne Unterkunft, schönes Motovun!

Ein wunderschöne Unterkunft in eineam alten Haus, das wohl mal eine Ruine war, dies aber nun wohl schon länger definitiv nicht mehr ist. Wir haben uns in den zwei Wochen dort sehr wohl gefühlt, auch unser Hund .... Wir können es uns sehr gut vorstellen, wieder zu kommen!

Agréable séjour dans beau village médiéval

Séjour très agréable dans un logement spatieux, plein de charme et bien équipé. Un espace unique mais réparti sur 3 niveaux. La vue de la terrasse est magnifique. Les propriétaires, qui étaient dans le logement d'à côté le temps de notre séjour, sont disponibles et sympathiques. Attention cependant à l'arrivée: les différents GPS ne vont amèneront pas directement au logement et risquent même de vous perdre. Lorsque vous arrivez dans Motovun, suivez la route principale (il n'y en a qu'une) et surveillez sur votre gauche les ecritaux indiquant le logement, il se trouve juste au-dessus,

Wunderschön

Die Lage ist Top. Die Inhaberin super freundlich. Die Unterkunft ist traumhaft. Die Parkplatze zu finden war nicht so einfach, aber es hat geklappt. Wir waren sehr zufrieden.

Motovun

We hebben een bijzonder goede tijd gehad in ons vakantiehuis in Motovun. We werden ontvangen door Nina, de eigenaresse. Ze had voor ons snacks klaargezet en limonade. We mochten kruiden en fruit uit haar tuin plukken. Ze gaf ons informatie over alle interessante plaatsen en restaurants in de omgeving. Het huis was heel netjes en gezellig ingericht en voorzien van voldoende handdoeken en eetgerei. De bedden waren goed en het meubilair ook. We konden op het terras zitten en genieten van het prachtige uitzicht. Graag komen wij nog een keer terug!

Bel soggiorno a Motovun

Abbiamo sentito la proprietaria solo al telefono e la registrazione dei documenti è avvenuta via mail. La signora si è dimostrata gentile e attenta alle nostre richieste. Il soggiorno è stato confortevole in una casa di grandi dimensioni e in ottima posizione nel borgo. È stata accettata anche la nostra cagnolina.

Thank you for your feedback! Your explanation of that rating was: "No points of critics but my husband expected to find somebody welcoming us at our arrival. Thank you anyway for telephone contact and information. Maybe see you next time 😊👋" Our reply was: We are not permanently living in Motovun therefore from times to times it is not possible to meet every single guest in person every time. That is the reason why all precedures are designed in such a way that you can always help yourself.
