Wonderful Views
We chose this villa purely for the remote location and pool, but we were not disappointed. The villa was very old but with lots of modern facilities. Everything was in good working order and top quality. Fully air conditioned that worked very well (32 DegC outside all week). Modern bathroom. Lots of space, but there was only 2 of us. Four or five people would do fine. The owners were extremely polite and helpful, with great English. Couple of very small negatives as usual. Its a 30 minute drive to any decent supermarket. There is no oven, We were badly bitten by mosquitoes when we sat at the outside dinning table, but Elvis fixed this by bringing us some very effective anti-mosquito burners. none of this would put us off and we would return tomorrow if given the chance.

Great Rural Location. Very comfortable accommodation.
This is a spacious villa, in an excellent rural setting. Elvis and Ksenija were delightful hosts, and very interesting to talk with. They invited us to observe their olive harvesting, which was educational. We recommend their "green" olive oil which is very tasty, and in our opinion, is superior to some lighter oils we have tried elsewhere. The apartment had everything we needed. The views from the property are superb. The location is extremely quiet :)

Loved It!
We really enjoyed our stay here. The sunrise and sunset every day were spectacular. The villa was charming, clean, and comfortable. The owners are nearby and made sure that we had everything we needed. We plan on staying here again next time we come to Istria

Fantastic villa with wonderful views. Owner was very helpful, a lovely stay.
Located in the heart of Istria this villa is well placed to explore the surrounding area. The villa is extremely well presented with comfortable furniture both inside and around the pool. We made use of the BBQ which was well stocked with wood and enjoyed dinners with a view. Very peaceful overlooking Motovun the view is what sold this villa to us and it didn’t disappoint. I would highly recommend a stay here for a family of 4 or 5.

Gorgeous and tranquil, well equipped and immaculately clean !
We were met by Elvis at 9.30pm after getting slightly lost and from that moment onwards we felt the warm hospitality which was evident throughout our stay. The house was very clean and equipped with everything we needed for our two week stay(and more!) There were some lovely welcome gifts which were very much appreciated. We felt our hosts were available if needed and knew they were easily contactable. The house is set in beautiful countryside with long reaching views of the Mirna valley, and we were delighted with the uninterrupted view of Motovun. The swimming pool was a great hit in the soaring temperatures and kept our three(17,15 and 11yr olds) fully occupied during the stay. The peace and tranquility helped us re charge our batteries and , hopefully this calmness will remain with us for a long time to come! The house is situated close to the bustling coastal towns of Pula, Novigrad, Rovinj etc and the beautiful hilltop towns of Motovun, Buzet and ,our favourite, Groznjan. Supermarkets were close (Buzet) and offered a good selection. On the two occasions we needed a doctor(!) we were extremely impressed with the service- on both occasions we were seen, had our prescription and were back at the house within an hour. Thank you Elvis and Ksenija we LOVE your house and Croatia. Mark and Mary

We really enjoyed our stay. The house is even better than pictures show. The hosts, Elvis and kensijia are very friendly and attentive to our needs. Would love to go back for a longer stay. Istria is a region worth visiting with a lot to offer. Thank you both so much for a wonderful stay!

The perfect tranquil and beautiful setting for a holiday to remember.
My family and I had a fantastic week here in August 2017. The villa has a wonderful location, with a lovely pool and a fantastic view. It is a great base to explore Istria from, with plenty to do in a relatively short drive. We particularly enjoyed visits to Motovun, the water parks and towns along the Adriatic coast. Eating out was good value, but my favourite evenings were barbecues by the pool.

Lovely villa with stunning views
Villa Maria exceeded our expectations. It is beautifully furnished and homely. The pool is lovely and was much needed in the 39 degree heat! The villa is well placed for exploring istria. We enjoyed visits to Porec, Motovun, Groznjan, Brijuni Islands and Rovinj. All had lovely shops selling homemade souvenirs. We were impressed by Croatia and will definitely return.

ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt ...
Die Beschreibung des Hauses "Friedliche Villa auf einem Hügel mit atemberaubendem Ausblick" ist sehr treffend. Sowohl die Lage als auch das Haus selber hat uns sehr gut gefallen. Das Haus ist super ausgestattet, aber insbesondere der große Garten im Olivenhain und der Pool haben uns sehr gut gefallen. Es ist eine tolle Umgebung um Fahrrad zu fahren oder die Umgebung zu Fuss zu erkunden, man muss allerdings Berge mögen ... . Das Meer ist nur ca. 30min mit dem Auto entfernt, wenn man mag. Wir können das Haus und Umgebung uneingeschränkt empfehlen.

Perfekte Urlaubswoche
Wir hatten eine tolle Woche in diesem wunderschönen Haus in einer wunderschönen Umgebung. Es war die letzte Urlaubswoche unserer Reise und es hätte kein schönerer Ort dafür sein können. Es ist absolut ruhig und entspannt. Man könnte sich den ganzen Tag am Haus aufhalten und wohlfühlen, wenn es nicht auch Vieles in der Umgebung zu entdecken gäbe. Die Gastgeber sind toll und jederzeit ansprechbar. Das Haus ist mit sehr viel Liebe gepflegt, eingereichtet und gestaltet. Wir haben uns fest vorgenommen, unbedingt wieder hierherzukommen.
