We had grandparents, my wife and I, two small children and a large dog to cater for, so finding the right place is not easy. this spot fits the bill though. It is beautifully sited in the country, deer stalk through the garden at night and early morning. You are a ten minute drive from Umag and close to many of the other local sites of interest. The countryside is littered with fabulous views, homely restaurants, ancient architecture and is dripping with history. The beaches are no more than adequate, but as this house has a pool, that was no problem. The rooms are a good size with comfortable beds, the bathrooms are modern and clean. The master bedroom suite is lovely, although there are headroom issues around the corners for tall people. The restoration of this stone villa has been sympathetic to keep the charm and yet updated to give modern conveniences.
If you are English, you will want to take a kettle with you as this is not supplied.
In the garden there is an outside dining area with lighting and cover from the elements along with a great built in barbeque. There is even a small vegetable patch from which you can take whatever is currently ready (the tomatoes are great). If only we had have been there a week later the Aubergines (egg Plant) looked like they were going to be spectacular. The whole place has a feeling of space and privacy.
This villa is a fantastic place to wind down from the rigours of the world, get in some culture, use as a base for Golf and Scuba visit the country and visit the beautiful if rocky beaches. Highly recommended.
