We had a wonderfull week in the 'Villa Dream'! The nature around it is stunning and the owner was always helpfull and reacted quickly. Although the property looks bigger on the picutres, we had enough space for the 16 of us and enjoyed sitting together inside or on the terrace, eating dinner and enjoying the sunset above the ocean that we could see from the house. We can definetly recommend staying in the 'Villa Dream'!

Great house for a group od friends
I stayed at the house in August 2020 with a group of friends and really enjoyed our time here. The house is very large, well stocked up with all supplies and has an amazing amount of outdoor space around it - which is exactly what we were looking for.

Excellent!
We enjoyed the villa and its great surrounding. Very welcoming host Drago who gave us great tips for restaurants and places to visit.
Place is clean and very artistic since the owner Drago is the artist he presented his work to us. Lots of space for big groups and families.

Greatest!!!
Drago went above and beyond to help us with any question or requirement, recommended taxi drivers, fisherrman, grocers, horseback riding close by and that made our stay memorable.
His advice kept us from making mistakes.
The view from the villa was amazing.
In short you can’t make a mistake staying here.

Property is large with lots of privacy. We enjoyed the pool and sauna, had quit a few nice walks into the wood and to the local ranch with horses where we also went horseback riding. The owner was helpful.
Overall would definitely recommend this villa.

ein wundervoller Platz,aber leider nicht sehr gepflegt
Wir verbrachten zu Pfingsten mit 17 Personen ( darunter auch viele Kinder) einige Nächte in dieser wunderschön gelegenen Villa. Die Betten und Handtücher waren sauber, die restliche Sauberkeit war wenig zufriedenstellend. Sehr viele Dinge waren kaputt. Es wäre die perfekte Villa, wenn der Besitzer sich ein bisschen mehr bemühen würde. Die Gegend und der Blick aufs mehr war genial. Wir konnten herrlich unter uns sein.

Everything perfect
We stayed there for a week. This wonderful Villa has absolutely everything what you need and I would recommend it. The great place in the countryside but not far away from the sea, the pool, the sauna... Everything was perfect. The owner was very polite and helpful.

A peaceful Oasis
We spent an amazing week at this stone house. It was surrounded by nothing but fresh air, lush greenery and a huge garden full of delicious fruits and vegetables which the owners graciously allowed us to pick from when cooking and making our bbqs.
This cute stone house looks like something out of a movie it's very cozy but yet has an artsy touch. The atmosphere was very relaxing and tranquil and I don't remember when the last time i slept so well!
If you really want to escape the concrete jungle and hustle and bustle of the big city this place is for you. We can't wait to return next year and recharge our batteries. Thank you again to the owners for making our experience one we will never forget!

Excellent!
This villa is simply lovely. It is equipped, furnished and decorated to an excellent standard, has a lovely swimming pool and is set in beautiful grounds. The quiet rural location provides all the privacy and peace you will need. Umag is only 10 minutes away and provides a range of restaurants to suit most tastes and budgets. If you want to eat in (which we did on a couple of nights) the villa has and excellent 'BBQ' and alfresco dining area. The owner was most welcoming and very helpful.

We love it!
I stayed here more than once, each and every time I woke up in total serenity surrounded by clean air, nature and endless land around. There is nobody around to disturb you. The place was clean with stylish touch to it, not to mention an impressive pieces of art.

Esperienza da evitare
La posizione della casa è ottima con una bellissima vista sul mare.
Esperienza da evitare
La casa sarebbe anche bella ma l"ordine e la pulizia lasciano molto a desiderare.
L'impressione è che sia una casa non curata, mobili sporchi , rotti, vecchi e rovinati.
Ci sono tre cucine ma solo in una di esse era presente il frigorifero (all'interno del quale abbiamo trovato bibite aperte) e la lavastoviglie non c'è.
I bagni poi sarebbero tutti da rifare.
Ripeto..... da evitare.

A wonderful stay in " Villa Dragonfly "
Me and my other half stayed in this wonderful villa which boasts with amazing sea views, it's own swimming pool, biking distance to the beach. We also took walk down to the farm where horses were kept, and went horse riding. Our overall experience has been wonderful, and we already decided to return in September.
