When the wind is up, the sea water splashes against the house, that's how close it is to the sea. A lot of natural light gets in and there is so much space to enjoy. The manager is always available and full of local knowledge. We had excellent food at the Mandrac restaurant and lovely cocktails at the bar next door.

Recommended for: Adventure seekers, families with teenagers, families with young children, tourists without a car, sightseeing.

Owner response: Dear John, Thank you very much for your lovely review. Warm regards, Tea

We just love everything around here, we were walking and at the old villas on the coats, cooking, eating dinners with friends. This is a great house and that's the reason we stayed here for the 2nd time.

We came to Volosko to eat at Le Mandrac, Croatia's top rated restaurant, and chose this apartment because it is a minute walk away. It's bright, airy and has a lovely view of the harbour. Owners are hands on, and look after your every need. We have no hesitation in recommending this place to all.

Seaside paradise

This property is far more attractive than its pictures. It is spacious and comfortable with amazing views from all of the windows. While we intended to visit other cities on the Istrian Peninsula, we so enjoyed the harbor, the restaurants and cafes of Volosko that we only left to walk on the seaside promenade.

Even though writing a positive review just increases the possibility for the house to be booked already next time we want to stay there we have to write that this is a very good offer of a house. Usually pictures in the internet look way better than what you get in the end but in this case we were very positively surprised. We spend two wonderful weeks and will probably come back!

The weather was sunny and beautiful, we were swimming, sunning, chasing crabs and fish with net (no luck!) Drove to Opatija one afternoon, otherwise stayed right here and loved it. We also rented kayaks down the promenade and walked it every night. We met Peter at Bistro Kairos that delivered pizza one night to us and Natasa and Mario @ Mili restaurant. That family owned eatery is great.they were the friendliest folks we ever met. It's just a few step from the apartment. Il Palazzo is a perfect house for all above, it's great, clean, and beautiful well stocked house. Our kids left their raft, net and fishing pole behind for other kids to enjoy it.

Everything around here was quite nice but the pizzeria down in Opatija was GREAT :) We spent a lot of time on the beach as it was very warm. We are definitely coming back. By the way, we have never seen such a clean house.

Even though weather was mostly cool and mild with little rain and little sunshine, we were walking, sightseeing, shopping, sampling food from various restaurants in Volosko and Opatija. Il Palazzo is excellent and relaxing place to stay. We will be back to Croatia again, but more importantly we will come back to Volosko in the summer time and we are definitely recommending this place to everyone. Thank you for a wonderful stay in your well equipped and beautiful villa.

The listing very well represents the house. It is as wonderful as the photos show. The property was shiny and clean. We had a wonderful time. The owner, Tea, was great to work with while we were setting up our visit - very quick to respond to any inquiries, precise and friendly. We visited with 2 couples and a baby, so there was plenty of room for everyone. The house could have easily accomodated at least one more couple. The rooms were comfortable and bright. The living area is the prime place of the house with very comfortable table and sitting area where entire family can gather and enjoy. The kitchen had all the major appliances, and basic staples which was very convenient. The internet was easy to hook up to our laptop and worked perfectly.The back of the house is a great big pathio where we spent lots of time. The house is nicely furnished but nothing more than needed, which made it very easy to baby proof - as there was not much trouble for baby to get into. The location of the house is great. We walked to Opatija every day, it is about a 10 minute walk. The restaurants downstairs were quite nice too - either to sit at and enjoy the view, or just to people watch from our window. There is a coffee shop next door to the house which seems to be a very happening place with many patrons all the time. On the nice side there was no serious noise outside past 10-11 pm, which was great for sleeping. All in all it was a wonderful stay, and we will come back.

This rental is everything it says it is and more. The rental agent Tea was extremely helpful and always there if we needed her. It's a great location right on the water with beautful views from every window. The location is also great for day trips around Croatia. The house is well stocked with anything you might need and there are some lovely restaurants right by the house. The path along the water into Opatija starts right at the house and is a lovely stroll. I would definately recommend this place to a friend. I wish we would have had more time to spend there.
