It was a secluded, cozy, quaint place with a scenic atmosphere.
The site says that smoking is forbidden in the room, but our room smelled like an ashtray.
It was obvious that the staff tried to hide the smell with some kind of flavor sprayed on the curtains, but it made it even worse.

Location is convenient.
We had a booing for three nights, but after the first night we had to leave the accommodation as the place was super unwelcoming and unorganized. Upon arrival, the person available on site was not aware of our booking, although we have been 3 hours after check in time. The property is together with a restaurant and it looked like there is no one responsible for the guests or the accommodation itself.
Compared to the description, kettle, the coffee machine and mosquito net (so we could not open window, as there are many mosquitoes) were missing. And to be honest the pictures reflects a state of the rooms probably not from recent years. We were not provided with any information, like how to connect to wifi etc., we had to ask separately for everything.
The bar next to pool was not at all in operation and there were broken glasses on the ground.
In the morning, we have decided to leave as we really felt like a burden for the people around, and this is not what we have been expecting. Upon departure at 8 in the morning there was only one person around from the restaurant, I could give back the key who was busy with having private conversation, and clearly not aware of our early departure, so I could not even file a complaint or do anything on site.
We have now tried to file a complaint via booking.com but apparently, they do not reply for them either. I think this tells a lot.

Huge pool! And very quiet most of the time. The staff were lovely and the location was stunning. Would recommend a car as so much to do close by but a little too far to walk especially with kids.
The rooms could have done with a little updating. Very small things like the light didn’t work in the bathroom so a lamp had been put in there. Missing curtains on the windows so had to use the shutters which squeaked in the morning. But it was such a charming beautiful place this almost didn’t matter! I would absolutely return :)

Beautiful old country house. Lovely big room and swimming pool.
Nothing. The only complaint was that we had an early flight the following day and a member of staff said they were unable to provide breakfast as it didn’t start until after we were due to leave.

Piece of paradise in the countryside even though still very close to Rovinj for exploring. It was peaceful and we felt very comfortable. The restaurant also has some great food and we wished we would have stayed longer. Very refreshing to have the pool available and the staff was incredibly nice and accommodating. Already tempted to go back!
Not much, our room was a bit dark but also nice with the heat

Me and husband stayed here for a few nights and decided to buy property in the very same area. The villa has the most magnificent gardens and restaurant. Food is fabulous quality! Owners are super friendly and relaxed. It's the first time our dogs felt at home and we didn't have to stress about their whereabouts. Besides, location is perfect. Beautiful Bale centre is walking distance.

We loved the feel of the property, how pretty it is, the friendliness of the owners

Premises are wonderful, traditional rustic stone built, beautiful and spacious bathroom with tiles to die for, rustic style interior, comfy bed, pool, tidy lawn, villa surrounded by trees, restaurant, staff is friendly and helpful, we got a free meal due to the fact restaurant was pre-booked for birthday party, so we couldn't eat there (and weather was too bad to dine on the restaurant terrace. But we were served in our room without charge. They are also pet friendly so next time I'll bring a dog too. Food was delicious, we tried Istrian cheese and prosciutto, stuffed spicy peppers, baked olives, almonds, fried zucchinis...
Our room was listed on booking as 25M2, but in reality it was maybe 14-15 m2, bathroom included. TV wasn't working even after someone came to fix it. Window shutters couldn't be hooked up to a wall or properly closed and wind was banging them to the walls - we had to call the staff to remove one and fix the other. There was no shower gel in the bathroom (just soap bars and small shampoos), and just one towel per person - we did only stay for two days so we didn't ask for more and we had our own toiletries, it wasn't really an issue. Birthday party was loud and we literally heard their singing (off key).
I'd give it a 9 or 10 if it wasn't for broken TV and window shutters. Also, we had to call and ask for wifi password - why not write it somewhere in the room? Just a friendly suggestion. :)

Lovely building, super pool, nice outdoor eating, had dinner there and it was very nice. Good secure parking, walking distance to village. Very friendly staff. Normally very peaceful! (See below).
Room 1 was very small, all the bathroom fittings were loose, wardrobe door didn’t close. Shutter over window to allow garden view didn’t work. Although it worked out ok the venue didn’t tell us about a wedding marquee pitched right outside our room, it did only go on to midnight and we did join in so all ok. I think the venue struggles with communication, they take a long time to respond using the Booking.com app if at all which was frustrating.

4.0
The ambiance of Villa Lav was very relaxing. The swimmingpool was lovely and the outside dinning area was very romantic and beautiful! The food was very good and the wine as well. One of my favorite accomodation in Croatia!
The airconditioning broke down in the room. Although the staff was very nice, they kept making promises they didn't keep. We had the feeling that they didn't recognise it as a problem and that we had to constantly push for something to happen. But they were friendly and gave us an ventilator and after one day the airco was fixed, so finally all good.
Also the windows in our room didn't shield the sun so there was a lot of light in the room very early at the morning.

Everything was amazing. Food was delitious and breakfast is just a must!
Room was clean and confortable, just what you need on vacation. We spend most of our time by the pool area. Outdoors of villa was peaceful, quiet and perfect for relaxing. Owners were kind and always available.
We will definitlly come back more than one time. This was by far our best location in Istria.
