It was fantastic and our host very friendly. a good location to make visits to different citys and the coast especially when the sun goes done and it gets cold enough to leave the pool in summertimes.

Exceptional property - very spacious, very clean, felt we were the first people staying there. Excellent facilities and they all worked.  Property had a premium feel. Recommendations - reserve table on the small terrace at the local in restaurent as Sovinjak, 30 min walk. Pula - better shopping than Porec and Piran and not as touristy. Better all round I thought. Treated to wine and Olive oil from Brigita as well as loads of veg - our host was very attentive. Area very quiet and tranquel.

All the reviews saying Brigita is a wonderful host are 100% true. The house was perfect, very complete and communication very good. Brigita surprised us with fresh eggs, veggies and a delicious cake. Highly recommend and we hope to come back someday.

This renovated old natural stone house is very beautiful and offers sufficient space for a family with 3 children. The house's appliances/equipment are modern and everything needed is available and in good working condition. The air condition is a bit special though and it takes a little while to get used to how it functions. But it cools reasonably well. The house is tastefully furnished, with care for details. The children enjoyed the swimming pool a lot. The house is located in a very beautiful, scenic landscape. The location is very quiet and perfect to relax and to take a break from a stressful work life. There are many beautiful little villages to visit in the area (15-30 min. to reach by car). It takes about 45 min. to 1h to drive to the coast. The landlord, Mme Brigita, is a lovely, caring and responsive lady. It is very easy to communicate with her and she was always available to provide any assistance. We will always keep fond memories of our stay in her house and will certainly come back at some beautiful time in the future!

This is a wonderful house in such a peaceful spot with lovely mountain views. The house was well-equipped and beautifully renovated. We especially enjoyed the pool. Thank you Brigita for the fresh produce, and your very own olive oil and wine. What a special touch!

The cottage is an absolute gem, in a very scenic landscape. The house, pool and garden has all the facilities you need, and is very well maintained. Brigita is the best host we have ever visited, and we will be back again. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. 5 stars are not enough!

The house was extremely clean and fully equipped. In the kitchen has lacked nothing. Even a basket with self-harvested vegetables and fresh eggs was given to us as a welcome. Brigita was incredibly nice and explained everything to us calmly and patiently. In between, the garbage was disposed of and the pool was cleaned. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much.
