Wunderschönes Ferienhaus, mit zwei Schlafzimmern mit je einem eigenen Badezimmer, plus ein drittes Badezimmer im angrenzenden Gebäude, wo sich die Küche/Esszimmer befindet.Toller Pool, der bei unserem Aufenthalt einmal kontrollieren und gereinigt wurde.Plus das riesige Grundstück, was unser Hund geliebt hat, zum Rennen und Toben.Sehr ruhige Umgebung, trotzdem sind in Fussreichweite mehrere Restaurants.Dazu sind die wunderschönen kleinen Hafenstädte in einer kurzen Autofahrt erreichbar.Kandita ist eine unglaublich nette Vermieterin, die immer erreichbar ist, falls was ist.Wir kommen nächstes Jahr sehr gerne wieder.

Das Ferienhaus war einfach ein Traum. Ein perfektes und authentisches mediterranes Landhaus mit einem wunderschönen Pool. Die Lage im nordwestlichen Istrien war für uns ideal, da wir von hier aus nicht nur die schönen Städte und Küstenorte in Istrien erkunden konnten, sondern auch in Slowenien und sogar zweimal Italien. Das Haus war sehr gut ausgestattet und sehr sauber, es fehlte uns hier wirklich an nichts. Sogar ein kleiner Weber Gasgrill inklusiv Gasflasche stand uns zur Verfügung. Ganz besonders toll war es, dass bei unserem 2-wöchentlichen Aufenthalt nach einer Woche das Haus einmal zwischengereinigt wurde und die Betten neu bezogen sowie die Handtücher gewechselt wurden. Wenn wir eine Frage rund ums Haus oder den Pool hatten konnten wir die Hausverwalterin Kandida immer anrufen oder per WhatsApp kontaktieren. Sie hat uns mit großem Engagement und immer höchstfreundlich und hilfsbereit geholfen und bei Bedarf unterstützt. Wir hatten unseren Hund dabei, der sich hier auch jederzeit wohl und sicher gefühlt hat. Wir können dieses Ferienhaus uneingeschränkt empfehlen. Nochmals vielen Dank an Kandida für die herzensgute Betreuung.

Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Urlaub. Das Haus ist super sauber und wunderschön. Wir waren göttlich essen in der Konoba Buščina. Und Kandida hat uns bei allen geholfen, ob es der schöne Hundestrand war bei dem keiner wie sardinen nebeneinander lag und bei allem andern auch. Ein superschöner Urlaub.

Entspannter Urlaub in ruhiger Umgebung

Wir haben 10 Tagen in diesem wunderschönen Objekt verbracht. Es war alles sehr sauber (Häuser und Pool wurden 1x gereinigt, Handtücher/Bettwäsche wurde gewechselt), das Schlafhaus war dank der Klimaanlage angenehm kühl und die Küche war gut ausgestattet. Da es sehr warm war, haben wir die überwiegende Zeit im bzw. am Pool verbracht. Der war echt toll...über eine Treppe kam man ins Wasser. Auch wenn die Sonne zu sehr scheint, findet man überall auf dem großzügigen Gelände ein schattiges Plätzchen. Ob unter den Sonnenschirmen am Pool, unter der mit Wein bewachsenen Pergola oder den großen Bäumen auf der Rückseite der Häuser. Die Kommunikation mit Erika von der Hausverwaltung war reibunglos und sehr gut.

Perfekter Entspannungsurlaub

Sehr schöne und vorallem sehr saubere Villa mit eigenem Pool, der sogar ca. alle 3 Tage gereinigt wird. Sogar Handtücher, Bettwäsche etc. wird bei längerem Aufenthalt gewechselt. Das Haus hat eine schöne ruhige Lage und man kommt von dort aus überall schnell hin. Allerdings ist in dem angrenzenden Ort nicht viel geboten. Goran ist ein sehr netter und aufmerksamer Vermieter, gab es Fragen oder Problem, wurde dies gleich beantwortet oder sofort gelöst. Alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Urlaub. Auf jedenfall empfehlenswert!

Sehr professioneller und zuverlässiger Vermieter! Hat auf Fragen sehr zeitnah geantwortet und war sehr darum besorgt, dass alles passt ohne aufdringlich zu sein! Wohnbereich und Essbereich räumlich getrennt in zwei verschiedenen Gebäuden (Entfernung 2 Meter). Alles sehr, sehr sauber, Handtücher in ausreichender Zahl, Ist genauso aus wie auf den Bildern. Ruhige Lage. Wir kommen wieder! Vielen Dank!

About the host

Hosted by Kandida

Host profile image
I’m a proud mother to a wonderful 4-year-old daughter, and I truly cherish the time we spend together. I enjoy good food, music, yoga, and exploring nature through hiking.

Hosting guests is something I genuinely love. I manage several rental properties and prefer a personal approach, welcoming guests face-to-face whenever possible. Over the years, I’ve met many wonderful people through hosting — some of whom have become dear friends.

I hope you will enjoy your stay at Casa Maria and feel completely at home. I will do my very best to ensure your holiday is comfortable, relaxing, and memorable.

I look forward to welcoming you!

Why they chose this property

This property is part of a larger estate which has been in the family for generations. The house was knocked down to the ground in 1992, and the original stone was used to rebuild it from scratch. We renovated it in 2014. It is very calm and quiet. It has an aura of tradition combined with some of the perks of modernity: fast internet connection, dish washers, satellite TV, pool.

What makes this property unique

The house has a garden and park that guests are welcome to use. On these 2 acres of pristine land. My previous guests have nicknamed it 'the house for tourists who don't like tourists'.
