Gracisce rentals with hot tubs

Lovely e cept weather was not great

We had a wonderful week in Marica's villa. The whole property is finished and furnished to an incredibly high standard. The rooms are large and airy, beds are extremely comfortable and there is so much storage! The bathrooms are so luxurious, it feels like living in a top end hotel! The kitchen is beautiful and comes equipped with everything you need to cook for yourself. The gardens are huge and the pool is stunning, super clean and was a great size for our kids. Although the villa is open plan there are plenty of separate areas to relax and chill out. It's a short drive to lots of lovely beaches and towns (we loved Rovinj in particular), but the highlight for us was the villa's proximity to Svetvincenat, which is a ten minute walk up the road. The town is beautiful, like stepping back in time. It has some lovely restaurants and bars and the castle is fantastic - our two boys age 10 and 13 loved the virtual reality installations and the medieval show on Weds evenings was extraordinary! Marica and her family were so friendly and welcoming and went out of their way to help and offer advice, we had a wonderful week and hope to come back one day!

We spent two weeks here and enjoyed the surrounding area and extensive outside space, including the different furniture areas and beautifully clean pool. The house was spotless and has retained many of its original features. Alenka was a very attentive host and always available to respond to any queries we had. We visited many places including Porec, Rovinj, Pula, Opatija, Brsec and Labin. The local pizza restaurant in Zminj is fantastic - very reasonably priced. Also worth a visit is Beram and it’s fantastic restaurant at the top of the hill! A fabulous area to explore, great roads for driving and many courteous local drivers! Very handy to have a little shop so close for bread etc. Thank you, Alenka, for making us so welcome!

A fabulous villa with everything you need for a comfortable stay - home from home. Fully spoilt by the outdoor area, great to cook in, chill and enjoy the pool area. Plenty of shade and sunny spots to suit everyone. Games room and hot tub are a bonus and were enjoyed by all. I would definitely recommend this villa, the location is great enabling us to visit Pula, Fazenda, Rovinj, Porec and Meriden - all fabulous resorts in their own right. I would definitely recommend the hire if a car to make these trips easier. The villa owner was very helpful and easily contactable if needed. We had an an amazing holiday at this villa.

Dario was a fabulous host who couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. The house was built by Dario himself and he has thought of every convenience. The pictures do not do the house justice, it is set in a peaceful village but within easy drive (20mins) of Pula, Fazana, Rovinj. The aqua park is within 45 mins and the fabulous island of Brijuni is accessible by a 10 min ferry ride from Fazana, which is a must to visit. The pool is beautifully kept and a fabulous place to relax on hot days, although the house is wonderfully cool with air conditioning upstairs and down. Our only feedback was the size of the fridge, however, Dario is already planning a beer fridge!! Thank you for a brilliant time and we look forward to visiting you again in the future.

We stayed here for 11 days and it was perfect! A great place to launch from into Istria and explore. Easy to find and very quiet. Family Rudan were amazing - really helpful and attentive. The villa is very large and easily accommodated 5 of us. Very much recommend to anyone thinking of visiting Istria.
