The house arrangement with two houses is perfect for either one or two families travelling together and the garden is simply breathtaking. Gorgeous view on the landscape while you can enjoy the pool or have a barbecue. Perfect for family travels, situated in a very small and secluded village.The host was super friendly and communication always rapid.Thank you very much, we hope to come back very soon!

Family vacation

Draguc is a hidden gem not far from many sites in Istria. It is very quiet and the house has amazing views and a beautiful garden! It was perfect for our family of 9. Our hostess was close by for any questions. We were fortunate to be there during their procession for the Feast of Corpus Christi and were able to join in and enjoy meeting some of the citizens.

Our family had an absolutely wonderful stay at Family Reunion House in Draguć. MarieAnn is an exceptional host who went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable and memorable. She thoughtfully arranged a stroller for our baby and welcomed us with her homemade olive oil, which was such a special touch. The house is a true gem, nestled in the historic village of Draguć and surrounded by breathtaking views of the valley. The home, pool, and garden are beautifully maintained and clearly cared for with great love and attention to detail. Everything was spotless, and the house was fully equipped with everything we needed for cooking, grilling, relaxing, and enjoying our vacation. We were also fortunate to enjoy a fascinating excursion to the local fresco museum and two charming historic churches, which made our experience even more special. The location is perfect—close to both Buzet and Pazin, and only about 50 minutes from Istralandia. We loved every moment of our stay and would highly recommend this beautiful property to anyone looking for an authentic and unforgettable Istrian experience.

We hebben genoten van het moment van aankomen tot de allerlaatste minuut. We werden (zoals al vaker beschreven) vriendelijk onthaald met een lokale lekkernij en alcoholische versnapering.Na een korte rondleiding kon het genieten dan echt beginnen. Beide appartementen waren blinkend schoon en het was fijn dat er beddengoed en handdoeken aanwezig waren. De gastvrouw is aanwezig indien nodig, maar over het algemeen genomen zie je haar amper. Tussendoor kregen we wel nog schoon beddengoed en vers geplukt fruit aangeboden. Onze 6 honden en Dolf de papegaai hebben ook genoten van ons verblijf en de mooie wandelingen die te maken zijn door en langs het dorp. Het uitzicht alleen al……Al met al een fantastische ervaring die we niet snel zullen vergeten! Een absolute aanrader!

Prachtige locatie

Zeer warme ontvangst. Alles was in orde. Ongelooflijk mooi uitzicht. WiFi werkte niet in de slaapkamers vandaar dat de kinderen een lagere score gaven. Van de volwassenen krijgt dit 5 sterren!

Schönes Ferienhaus

Ein schönes kleines Ferienhaus mit dem Nötigsten ausgestattet. Wir wurden sehr, sehr freundlich empfangen. Der Garten ist leider nicht direkt mit dem Haus verbunden, aber trotzdem sehr schön und mit reichlich Sitz- und Liegemöglichkeiten ausgestattet. Das kleine Dörfchen liegt auf einem sehr kurvigen Berg. Es ist sehr ruhig und der Ausblick traumhaft. Die nächste Essen-/Einkaufsmöglichkeit befindet sich unten am Berg (20min. Autofahrt)

Wundervolle Familienfreizeit

Wir (8 Erwachsene) haben den Aufenthalt in der ruhigen Mitte Istriens sehr genossen. Der Garten mit dem herrlichen Ausblick, dem Pool und der perfekten Aussenküche hat unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Um an die Küste zu fahren benötigt es auch in der Hochsaison nur ca. 50 Minuten. Würden jederzeit wieder kommen.

Sehr erholsamer Urlaub in ruhiger Gegend.

Wir waren im August mit zwei Familien (7 Personen + Hund) im Ferienobjekt. Die Ferienwohnung ist in zwei Apartments aufgeteilt, welche mit allem was man benötigt (Geschirrspüler, Waschmaschine, Kaffeemaschine, etc.) ausgestattet sind. Die Vermieterin war super nett und hat uns regelmäßig mit kleinen Aufmerksamkeiten in Form von selbstgebackenen Pfannkuchen, Weintrauben aus eigener Ernte, Schnapps, erfreut. Auch wenn mal etwas nicht funktioniert hat (Toaster defekt) wurde sich seitens der Vermieter sofort gekümmert um das wieder in Ordnung zu bringen. Ein Traum ist der zum Objekt gehörende Garten mit verschiedenen Sitzgelegenheiten, einer Outdoorküche und einem Pool. Bei einem herrlichen Blick über die Landschaft haben wir so manchen Abend entspannt ausklingen lassen. Kurzum, es war ein herrlicher Urlaub, gern wieder.

wunderschönes Häuschen!

Ein tolles Häuschen in einem sehr ruhigen, gemütlichen Ort. Die beiden Wohnungen sind sehr gut ausgestattet und der Garten ist einfach ein Traum! Von Draguc aus sind fast alle Ziele in Istrien innerhalb von einer guten Stunde mit dem Auto erreichbar. Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden gerne einmal wieder nach Draguc kommen! Vielen Dank noch einmal an unsere fürsorgliche Vermieterin!!!

Toller Urlaub zum Entspannen in abgelegener Umgebung mit schönem Garten und herrlicher Aussicht

Wir waren 10 Tage mit 7 Leuten in Draguc. Es war ein perfekter Urlaub zum Entspannen. Die Vermieterin war sehr nett und hat uns mit einigen Aufmerksamkeiten überrascht. (Kuchen und  Schnaps bei der Ankunft, selbstgemachter Pfannkuchen, Weintrauben aus ihrem Garten) Die Ferienwohnung, die in zwei Apartments aufgeteilt ist, ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, jedoch ist alles noch in gutem Zustand und an Ausstattung ist alles vorhanden was man braucht. (Geschirrspüler, Kaffemaschine, Mikrowelle, Ofen,..) Das schönste in dem Urlaub war der Garten mit dem Pool und der tollen Aussicht dazu. Weiterhin gibt es einen Grill und mehrerer verschiedene Sitzmöglichkeiten, an denen man es sich bequem machen kann. Wir würden jederzeit für einen weiteren Urlaub wiederkommen.

Afslapning med stort A

Vi havde brug for fred på ferien - og det fik vi. Med en helt fantastisk udsigt over bjergene, liggestole og svømmepøl, var huset helt suverænt. Vi blev modtaget med hjemmebagt kagetærte og en snaps af en slags - og stilen holdt bare hele vejen. Daglig rengøring af opholdsområdet ved poolen (var sket inden de første af os kom derned kl. 8) var bare en af de små ting, der bare skete. Et helt suverænt sted, som bestemt er et besøg værd. Selve byen har flere gamle bygninger og oser bare af historie - og ligger lige i hjertet af Istrien. Mange udflugsmål ligger ikke langt væk - men bil er nødvendig. Busserne lærte vi aldrig af finde ud af. Normalt holder vi ferie forskellige steder hvert år - men lige her overvejer vi at komme igen. Det kan bare ikke gøres meget bedre, og burde være ratet højere end de 3 stjerner, som stedet aktuelt har. Er I i tvivl - gør det !!!

Herrlicher Urlaub bei sehr netten Gastgebern

Wir haben mit zwei Familien (8 Personen) einen wunderschönen Urlaub in Istrien verlebt. Wir haben es genossen, nach dem Besuch der verschiedenen Sehenswürdigkeiten in unsere traumhaft gelegene und wunderbar ruhige Unterkunft zurückzukehren. Besonders bemerkenswert ist die außergewöhnliche Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber, angefangen beim Begrüßungsschnaps bis hin zum Geburtstagskuchen! Sehr gut, schnell und unkompliziert funktionierte die Kommunikation per E-Mail vor der Reise. Auf jeden Fall weiterzuempfehlen!

Traumhaft schön

Wir haben unseren Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Waren insgesamt 12 Personen (davon 6 Kids). Die Vermieterin ist sehr nett und hilfsbereit. Wir wurden mit einem kuchen und schnapps empfangen. Leider ist der Garten mit Pool separat (ca 10 m) vom Haus, dennoch alles umzäunt. Alles sehr gepflegt und sauber. Von draguc aus kann man alles ihhnerhalb von 50 min erreichen und ist dennoch weitweg vom Tourismus.

Mirjana does everything to make your stay as nice as possible. The communication was very correct. The outdoor BBQ and a lot of beautiful places to sit outside are plus points. The airco inside does a good job.

Nice apartment in an enchanted place

Come here if you want to enjoy the quite and unique atmosphere of this hidden treasure of Istria. Walk into the valley to see how hard local people work in their olive gardens a wineyards with harmony of nature. I hope Draguc will remain as it is now. It would be sad to see LED lights and car parkings in the town.
