Istria County beach rentals

We've just returned from a lovely week at Villa Zaneta. Alen was a very welcoming host and made sure we were very comfortable - arrived to find a gorgeous homemade fruit tart in the fridge, along with some other treats! Accommodation very clean and spacious with excellent aircon in all rooms. Kitchen and BBQ area fully equipped with everything you'd need to self-cater. Small shop in village short walk away for baked goods, fresh milk, fruit and veg and lots of Istrian goodies. Supermarket 15 mins drive and vineyard just round the corner from the villa! Alen recommended some local restaurants, all a short drive from villa. There are also plenty of options in Porec, which is a lovely holiday town especially in the evening for strolling, shopping and dining. Spent our days snorkling in the sea, swimming in the pool and bubbling in the hot tub - thank you Alen for a lovely weeks' holiday :)

Our week at the villa was thoroughly enjoyable. The weather tried hard to dampen spirits, but failed. The accommodation was great and Mitja was extremely helpful suggesting places to visit and try Istrian food. The villa allows everyone space to do their own thing. The location is quiet and off the beaten track whilst being close to many attractions. Vodnjan itself is an interesting town with long history and well worth exploring.

We had such a relaxing holiday in Medulin. The apartment is on the outskirts in a quiet neighbourhood which is perfect for relaxing. The beach is so close with lovely sunbeds and umbrellas for rent at a reasonable cost beside a great cafe. You can also rent SUPs and boats. Its such a fun beach with loads going on. The apartment was spotless with comfortable beds, a TV with Netflix if you have a chilled night in. A well kitted out kitchen with all you need for cooking, although a few basic condiments and dishwasher tabs would have been appreciated. Our highlights were the beach, Pula film festival, dining out in Pula, Brijuni island, we took the ferry from Fazana and hired a golf buggy to tour the island it was so much fun, then went swimming from the beautiful beach, swimming off the rocks and the Safari Cafe in Premantura. If you want access to the garden make sure you book the ground floor apartment, this isn't clear in the description. Overall we had a great time.

The villa really is as good as it looks on the photos. The owners are a friendly and very helpful local family making this a fantastic place to stay with family or friends. It's on the edge of Medulin so a little walk into town and the more busy tourist beach, but very close to two good supermarkets. Some good quality and genuine restaurants and bars in the town. We'd recommend Taxi-Goran for your airport transfer and other trips. We had a brilliant week - thank you Tatjana & your family.

The property is very nice with all the facilities you need for a group. It is very well fitted out, although some of the fixtures and fittings are of slightly poor quality, and impeccably clean. We had hire cars and visited Rovinj, Plitviče Lakes, Medulin and many other places. The villa is very well situated just outside Pula, around the corner from a small market and 5 minutes drive from several supermarkets. The place was very clean and the pool was cleaned twice while we were there which was brilliant. The outside areas are great for large dinners and the outside fridge next to the BBQ keeps your meats and beers chilled during the day! I would fully recommend this villa to anyone looking to stay near Pula and this part of Croatia. This was our first trip to Croatia and we will definitely be returning. Thanks!
