Wir kamen an und die beiden Gastgeber haben schon auf uns gewartet. Die beiden sprechen perfekt deutsch. Wir wurden empfangen mit kalten Trinks, Wein und Likör. Als sie uns das Haus gezeigt haben waren wir begeistert. Das Haus war ganz liebevoll restauriert und eingerichtet. Im eigentlichen Haus waren die Bäder und Schlafzimmer. Küche und Wohnzimmer waren als Art Wintergarten angebaut. Das Haus ist herrlich kühl durch die Vorhänge aussen. Es hat aber auch einen Van und Klimaanlage Wir hatten das noch nie. Es war einfach alles da. Komplett eingerichtete Küche mit mehr ausreichend Geschirr und Besteck, scharfen Messern und Pfannen. Der Pool und der Außenbereich laden einfach zur Erholung ein!Wir sagen ein ganz großes Dankeschön an Draga und Zoran!! Gerne wieder

Die Unterkunft war einfach nur klasse.
Die Unterkunft war einfach nur klasse. Wir waren zu zweit eine Woche und die Villa wäre perfekt für 4 Personen. Man hatte eine Standart Ausstattung an Küchenutensilien und wurde sehr freundlich bei der Ankunft begrüßt. Der Pool ist groß und perfekt zum abkühlen. Wir würden auf jedenfall wieder dort buchen bei unserem nächsten Urlaub.
