Ruhiges gemütliches Haus mit Garten in Istrien fernab vom trubeligen Tourismus

Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit im kleinen Steinhaus mit wunderschönen Garten. Wer Ruhe sucht und für sich sein will ist hier genau richtig. Die Kommunikation mit Anuska war per WhatsApp immer unkompliziert und freundlich. Ab und zu kam Grozdana (eine Bäuerin aus dem Dorf) vorbei und hat uns mit Obst, Gemüse, Wein und Olivenöl versorgt. Man kann schöne Buchten entdecken, im nahegelegenen Kletterpark Nervenkitzel erleben und ganz Istrien von hier aus entdecken. Allerdings ist ein Auto unablässig und auch genug Mückenspray ist dringend zu empfehlen. Die Moskitonetze für die Betten waren wirklich goldwert. Wir kommen gern wieder.

Wunderbares Sommerhaus

Geschmackvolles, traditionelles und atmosphärisches Steinhaus in friedlicher Landstimmung und alter Kulturlandschaft. Ein sehr schöner und gemütsvoller Ort für Menschen, die das Abseits suchen.

Petit nid dans la campagne istrienne

Conforme à l'annonce, cette petite maison entre les deux côtés istrie ne est idéale pour un couplé avec de petits enfants. Les propriétaires. Anuska et Boris sont sympathiques et soucieux du confort de leurs hôtes. Et la région est magnifique.

Sehr gemütlich und hübsch

Das Haus und der Garten sind schön und gemütlich und der Ort wunderbar ruhig. Kühe und Ziegen finde ich keinen Nachteil, sondern authentisch. Es ist eine sehr gute Ausstattung vorhanden von PlayStation, Flatscreen bis Mückennetzen. Anuska steht für alle Rückfragen bereit und ist sehr freundlich. Einziger Minuspunkt betrifft nicht das Haus, sondern die Gegend: wir haben keinen wirklich schönen Strand gefunden, sondern nur die üblichen zum Teil sehr überlaufenen Steinstrände.
