We had a fantastic week here. Family of 5 - kids aged 6, 13, 16.
Beautifully clean, gorgeous location, wonderful pool and a high quality house, well equipped and fitted to the highest of standards. So comfortable and lovely that the kids didn’t want to leave!
It is in an off the beaten track location, nestled among the mountains, but an easy 25 min drive to lots of lovely local, un-touristy beaches and the incredibly beautiful historic town of Porec. A great location for exploring Istria.
One thing to note: There are two other similar houses just in front of this one, which obscures the view a little. They are also a bit bigger, we think, and perhaps more likely to attract larger party crowds. Indeed, there was some lively action from a group of German young people in the one adjacent to us. Their music was quite loud but never went on too late. We did enjoy the last few nights of peace tho, once they’d left and were properly able to enjoy the crickets singing around us.
There’s some fantastic wildlife around the house. We had an edible dormouse snoozing in the patio rafters and an incredible array of insects. Some would inevitably collect in the pool but were easily fished out and should not in anyway be off putting. As an entomologist, I was enthralled by the diversity. But for those who are less keen on insects, there is no reason to be put off - there were no insects in the house and the house was easy to keep clear. In fact, I’ve never seen a house so clean, with such biota on the doorstep!
We loved it here and would not hesitate to return.
