Fantastic Villa

We had a fantastic time at Villa Sterna. The Villa was just as advertised and in a beautiful spot. The Villa was very spacious and the swimming pool and outside area was fab. All very clean and well kept. Thank you for a lovely stay and thank you for my birthday watermelon. We also highly recommend the quad bike tour to the waterfall and lagoon. Thank you!

Wonderful Istrian villa.

This villa was perfect for us and we could quite happily live there as it more of a home than a rental. Everything you could possibly need or want in beautiful surroundings. We visited so many stunning coastal areas as the villa is perfectly placed to go out and about. Spotlessly clean and a lot of thought put into what clients might need. Wonderful villa and wonderful holiday. Thank you.

Wonderful holiday

We had a glorious two week holiday here. It is remote ( very quiet and rural) so have to drive everywhere but good beaches and towns 35~40 mins away. Rovinj and Vrsar our favourites. House is very well presented and spotless with everything you need. Lovely barbecue area with sink by the pool. Very clean and well equipped. Worth noting just two a/c units one upstairs and one down, so fans in the bedrooms would have been good as they did get quite warm at night and we weren’t keen to leave windows open because of the bugs. Also the down stairs twin room has its own entrance so wouldn’t be suitable to leave young children there alone. Our teens were fine!! Fabulous restaurant in Beram ( 5 min drive) and Pazin nearby for great pizza and pasta and small bars. Good supermarkets 5 min drive. Thoroughly recommend if you want to get away from it all.

Great central location in beautifully restored property

The property is located in a small neighborhood below Beram just outside Pazin. Its central location provides easy access to hill towns and seaside areas of Istria as well as day trips to explore Slovenia and Trieste. The property manager lives in the neighborhood and always immediately responded to our questions or assistance requests. We arrived mid-September just as the weather became unseasonably cold. As a result, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very chilly as they are not heated. The property description should state that only the common areas are heated & cooled. While the accommodations are very good we would suggest the following to make renters stay even more comfortable: written instructions for operating kitchen appliances (microwave, stove, dishwasher operation is not self-evident); wifi is weak - install boosters; bedrooms need more clothes hangers in armoires (2 per room insufficient); add clothes hooks in bedrooms particularly in bedroom with only shelves in armour; add towel hooks in bathrooms (1 small hook in each is insufficient); wooden sticks/bars to hold shutters open to prevent banging and closing with the wind. We had numerous wasps in the kitchen - their entry point should be found and closed - the property manager stated that they probably entered when we opened the kitchen door and although we were careful and watched this was not our experience. We hope these suggestions are found to help make an excellent rental even better.

We were very surprised that this villa has a three star rating as in our opinion it ought to be higher. The villa is in a beautiful quiet setting. It’s minimalistic (which is great when you are a large party and don’t want to worry about fuss) with the exception of the kitchen which is extremely well equipped. The pool is lovely and well maintained. Air conditioning in the bedrooms would be beneficial but we did stay in a heat wave. It’s worth noting that the ground floor bedroom is the coolest. The communication with the host was really helpful with advice from where to buy truffles to recommending a local taxi company. The area itself is stunning and lovely not being in a tourist area. The bar at the end of the road is definitely worth a visit as is the Konoba (restaurant) in Beram. The best steak ever. Thoroughly enjoyed our stay would definitely recommend and would go back again

Sehr schönes und sauberes Anwesen

Das Haus mit Grundstück war sehr sauber und in einem super Zustand. Der Pool wurde regelmäßig gereinigt, so dass das Wasser auch immer in einem super Zustand war. Die Aufteilung der Zimmer mit jeweils eigenem Bad mit Dusche hat uns auch gut gefallen. Die Lage des Hauses war für uns perfekt, da man in 30- 40 Minuten mit dem Auto in Porec oder Rovinj ist. Wir hatten insgesamt einen super schönen und erholsamen Aufenthalt.

Toller Aufenthalt

Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Das Haus ist toll und super ausgestattet. Anzumerken ist nur, dass eines der Schlafzimmer einen separaten Eingang hat und nicht von der Hauptwohnung aus zugänglich ist. Da wir zwei Familien mit recht jungen Kindern waren, war es erst mal schwierig die Zimmer aufzuteilen. Trotzdem waren wir zu 100% zufrieden. Auch die Kommunikation mit Nenad war top. Danke, wir kommen gerne wieder.

Quality time with friends

Wir hatten einen wundervolle,unkomplizierte Zeit in Beram, im Ferienhaus von Matteo. Er war immer zur Stelle, wenn man etwas von ihm brauchte, sogar Holz für das all abendliche Feuer wurde geliefert. Das Haus mit dem umliegenden Areal bietet Platz und genügend Wohnraum. Sehr nett war das Gastgeschenk im Kühlschrank in Form von Wein und Käse. Alles in allem ein gelungener Urlaub!

Unser Aufenthalt war super entspannend- niemand stört es wenn man auch mal Musik hört oder die Kinder etwas lauteren Spaß im Pool haben ! Es ist alles vorhanden was man braucht und man ist in allen drei Städten (Pula,Porec und Rovinj) relativ schnell 30min. Lidl und der lokale Supermarkt sind auch 3-5Min Fahrtzeit entfernt . Alle super nett und vorallem unkompliziert Fliegengitter für die Fenster evtl. mitbringen - Mücken und Skorpione besuchen sonst gerne das Schlafzimmer ;) Wunderbarer entspannter Urlaub - auf jedenfall weiter zu empfehlen !

Fantastisk feriebolig

Vi havde fornøjelsen af at bo i denne skønne feriebolig sammen med vores 2 børn på 11 og 13 år. Der var alt, hvad vi skulle bruge i huset. Service, sengelinned, toiletpapir, håndklæder og så var der håndsæbe på alle badeværelser. Helt fantastisk, at der er badeværelser til alle værelserne. Lækker pool og overdækket terrasse med grill og ude køkken. Vi brugte det meste af tiden her. Boligen ligger tæt på indkøb og i fin afstand til oplevelser og havet. En virkelig sød vært som bor ved siden af og er til rådighed om nødvendigt. De varmeste anbefalinger herfra. Vi kommer gerne tilbage en anden gang.

Das Haus ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Durch die zentrale Lage in Istrien erreicht man in ca . 45min mit dem Auto alle Städte und die Küste. In ca. 10min sind zwei große Supermärkte zu erreichen, wo alles für den täglichen Bedarf eingekauft werden kann. Sehr zu empfehlen ist auch de lokale Markt im nahegelegenen Ort Pazin.
