Ein sehr schönes Haus, wo es sich sehr gut aushalten lässt.Die einzelnen Zimmer sind sehr groß und es fehlt an nichts.Der Bereich um den Pool ist sauber und gepflegt.
The property is well located in the middle of Istria and there are a lot of beautiful cities nearby. Also the house is in a quiet area. It is very clean and the house has everything you need. It definetly matches with the given description of this property.
The property owner is very kind and questions are answered in shortest time. It is also to be noted that the property owner supplies you with good informations about the area of Istria where you can go and visit.
A big thank for the wine and self-made cake he brought to us during our stay.
We had such a good time at Villa Martin and definitely enjoyed our stay!
Bei der Villa handelt es sich um ein schönes Haus, in dem man eine wunderbare Zeit verbringen kann. Zwei Familien können, Dank Pool, gut relaxen. Hier und da hätte das Haus kleine Schönheitsreparaturen nötig. Der Gastgeber und seine Familie sind sehr bemüht und stehen jederzeit mit Rat und Tat zur Verfügung. Die Reaktionszeiten sind sehr kurz. Ein besonderer Dank geht an die Mutter, die mit selbstgebackenen unseren Aufenthalt versüßt hat.
First off impressions upon arriving of Villa are that it was true to the pictures and information that are listed on Homeaway Wesbite. One downside is that the property is listed as having AC. This is true for downstairs and the 2 master bedrooms upstairs however the 2 remaining bedroom had no AC. The owner provided fans when asked which did help but this should be stated on the villa information.
Nice and central, 20 mins from Porec, 25 mins Rovinj. Fabulous restaurant 2-3 mins walk from the Villa which is also great for children (need to book).
As for the Villa owner probably the best I have seen over the years. Attentive to every detail to the point that they sorted out birthday cake for my daughters birthday. Thank you.
De eigenaars zijn zeer vriendelijk en beantwoorden al je vragen snel! De vila is zeer mooi en schoon. Mooie zwembad goed onderhouden. De vila is gelegen in een leuk rustig dorpje. Groet ivo
