The villa is amazing and the photos don’t really do it justice. The location is superb for those people (like us) that like peace and quiet and large outdoor spaces.
We stayed as 2 families of 4 (4 adults and 4 children) for 2 weeks. We loved the large outdoor space, which included a big swimming pool, football pitch, badminton net, trampoline, table tennis and a large veranda to relax in the shade. We also made good use of the pool room and the outside kitchen area proved really useful.
The indoor space is also very nice, with modern facilities (excellent AC, good showers, large US-style fridge/freezer) and the beds are very comfortable. The accommodation is also kept very clean.
While there was a language barrier (none of us speak much of any language other than English), the owners (who live next door, but some distance away) are very welcoming and on-hand if needed, without being at all intrusive. During our stay we were given home-made pastries, oils and spirits, which we really enjoyed. During the first few days there were a lot of wasps due to the weather conditions but this was dealt with promptly by the owners.
The villa is well situated in Istria such that you can enjoy the remoteness while being within easy reach of all the big towns and many attractions that this part of Croatia has to offer.
We really enjoyed our time here and cannot recommend the villa highly enough.
