Enjoyed our stay in this house. It had all that you could need, pool, air con etc. Great for us with adult children. Easy drive to the beautiful town of Rovinj and well placed for local supermarkets. Bikes provided to enable us to explore - old railway line cycle path to Rovinj and car free track to the Lim Canal. We also explored further afield by car. Ervin is friendly and helpful and quickly adresses any issues. Would not hesitate to stay here again.

A very well located villa, spotlessly clean.
Villa Ester is in a very quiet spot in Rovinjsko Selo, just a five minute drive from beautiful Rovinj with its many restaurants and shops. We received a very friendly greeting from Ervin, who was on hand if we needed him. The villa itself is perfect for a party of 6, having the benefit of ensuites attached to each of the 3 bedrooms. The lounge/dining area was extremely well equipped. The outside terrace was lovey for evening drinks and watching the occasional thunder storm and the pool area felt very spacious. The Bakery and small supermarket just 2 minutes from the villas were very handy and the drive to Rovinj, a straight road with plenty of restaurants along the way - Babilon Steak Restaurant very nice if you like a hog roast! We had a very relaxing time, found some lovely beaches and explored Pula, Vsar and Porec. Would thoroughly recommend this villa and would like to go again some day. Many thanks to the Barbancic family for their prompt replies to all our enquiries and to Ervin for his very warm welcome.

Gem of a villa near Rovinj
Having never been to Croatia we had some trepidation when we landed in Pula airport at around 2200hrs.Suzy's directions to the village were spot on & we arrived quickly at Villa Ester where Ervin was there to greet us. He was always helpful.
The villa is of old stone and very pretty. It was spotless & catered for our needs perfectly. Our 2 boys are 9 & 12 so happily slept in the attic room. Each bedroom has its own en suite which was great but there is also a handy toilet in the kitchen.
The gardens & pool area were again spotless & there are some other houses in close proximity but it had the sense of peace & we weren't affected by any external noise. (probably creating too much of our own at times with Pool wrestling!) The village is ideally sleepy & there is a small shop & a larger supermarket 'Valata' within walking distance & also 2 small bars & a restaurant.
We had a hire car & visited Rovinj many times to shop , eat & visit the beach. Rovinj is about 5k away down a straight road & it couldn't have been easier. There are lovely beaches to the north & south of Rovinj & some are accessed via campsites which let you use the beach but charge a fee. One which didn't was the beach at Rubin villas to the south side of Rovinj. It had banana boats,wind surfing, parascending etc & there was even a small Konsum market in its complex which keeps cost of drinks etc.down. The best thing to do is just explore in the car. The ones we visited had toilets , showers, beach bar/restaurant but we were always able to find a quiet spot. Buy the folding sponge mattresses in the 'Valata' supermarket near the villa as cheaper than tourist shops. same for snorkels , air beds etc. In fact we only visited the bigger 'Konsum' market once to buy fish as the 'Valalta' had everything we needed.
Do buy the slip on shoes as the beaches rocky & hard to walk into the water. My 2 boys wore sandals we'd brought which can be used in water but the youngest still ended up with his '13 injuries' (only cuts&nicks to feet!)
We also had a great day exploring 'Motovun' the medieval town , the aqua park at Porec ( you can bring a picnic but pack it in a bag as won't let cool box in). Also a day in Venice on the fast ferry 'Atlas' was a fabulous experience. There are so many places to visit that are all accessed quickly, a plus when you have children who don't want to spend all day travelling.
A perfect holiday to a beautiful villa&area & we would love to return!

Dear Mirka, thanks for your review.
It was a pleasure to have you as our guests. Best wishes, Ervin
Unterkunft ist nur zu empfehlen, super liebe Besitzer. Für die Kinder war der Pool das Highlight. Klimaanlage vorhanden in jedem Raum. Im Garten ist man abgeschirmt und hat seine Ruhe.
Wir waren zu 6. dort 4 Erwachsene und 2 Kinder und hatten mehr als genug Platz.
Wir waren begeistert und kommen gerne wieder
Wir waren zwei Familien mit zwei Mädchen im gleichen Alter und einem Hund im Ferienhaus von Ervin in Sole. Ervin ist ein sehr angenehmer und dienstorientierter Gastgeber. Das Haus ist sauber, bestens ausgestattet und sehr gemütlich, der Pool sehr sauber, der Garten reizend! Wir kommen immer gerne wieder zurück.
A very comfortable and well equipped villa. Excellent small swimming pool. The sheltered outside terrace is perfect for all meals - evenings are particularly great, being west-facing. Excellent response by Ervin when the coffee machine failed - he brought a new one within 10 minutes. Easy drive to Rovinj - highly recommended.

Beautiful villa with fantastic facilities
The villa is in a lovely village (with a couple of nearby bars and a supermarket) 6km from Rovinj. On arrival it was in immaculate condition and all the rooms are beautifully decorated.There was a nice touch of a few groceries in cupboard and toiletries in all the bathrooms. The garden has some much needed shade to protect against the hot summer sun. There is a terrace outside the kitchen area which gives lovely views towards the sea. Couldn’t fault the villa at all!

Well equipped villa...
This is a lovely house and very well equipped. ...we had everything we needed. Our emails were replied to very promptly and the owner was there to meet us with helpful advice. Only one of our party was brave enough to try the swimming pool as it was a little cool in September.
The property was very clean and very well maintained and we would not hesitate to recommend it.

Thank you for your review. :) The water in the pool wasn't too warm as it was late September. Although our guests use it in October too. Depends on the season.. We hope you come again!
