We've had the pleasure to stay in Chris' House in 2018 already, and it was a blast to spend our vacation there again. The villa is beautiful, the outside garden spacious and lush. It looks even better than in the pictures.

If you’ve never been to Croatia before, you should go and you should definitely consider Cave Romana. Set in a secluded location but only 20 minute drive from Pula airport and 10 minutes in to Pula. The accommodation is quirky, full of character and flexible for large groups. Beware though that whilst there are 2 double bedrooms on the ground floor, you need to walk through one to get to the other. It worked fine for us but it’s not clear in the info that you see on line. The ‘man on the ground’ Josip, met us on day 1 and gave us a very good tour and intro to the villa. Everything you need is provided. The accommodation is showing some signs of wear but nothing that detracted from the great experience. The pool and gardens are glorious and the photographs don’t do it justice. Very sheltered by trees but getting sunshine on the pool and gardens all day. Many secluded areas if you want some quit time away from everyone else. As an added bonus, we were treated to the sight of bats flying overhead at dusk each night, presumably feeding on insects. On the insect front. Bring plenty of mosquito repellent and bite cream! A great holiday in a great villa. Would definitely consider going back.

Had a wonderful visit. The outside grounds are wonderful for spring & summer fun. Nice pool. Charming house with great history. The house divides into 3 separate apartments which is great for families with adult children or for 3 or 4 couples. Very functional kitchen and common living area for big meals. Great hot showers but it is an old house so don’t bring every electronic gadget. Instead unplug and relax. Close to Centro and Roman ruins. Big grocery stores just minutes from the house yet very secluded and private. We were quite comfortable. The house caretaker is very helpful and is nearby if you have an issue. Highly recommend Cave Romano for visiting Pula and the nearby islands and beaches.

This was a retirement celebratory holiday for my husband and me, to have a week with our 3 kids, their partners and children, and it could'nt have worked out better. So much space for everybody to have time all together, or take off and have time to themselves as well. Lovely areas to enjoy the sun, if that is what you love, or play table tennis, Boules, badminton, or enjoy the truly lovely pool, if you wanted to be more active. Lovely nearby beach, if you take the track through the woods on road down to the Marina, Or Pula was a lovely town to visit, especially in the evening, when all the cranes are lit up. Sounds of opera coming over the amphitheatre walls was out of this world. Take protection against mosquito's, because they do like to join in the fun, especially from about 1600-2000. Jossip , who helps organize things out there was really kind, helpful and fun. Some memories have been made for ever, and we would love to go back, given half a chance

Stayed 1week end of May. Big garden, nice pool and good for kids (we, our party had 6 kids, aged 5-8), lots of places to sit everywhere around the house. Really, can not complain about anything basically. Just be prepare to share the whole place with a bit of nature (for example mosquitoes -> but lots of anti mosquitoes tools provided!). Nearest beach is 3min by car, easy drive. Pula is 10min. Big SPAR is less than 10min by car. Basically everything is not far away. You can also run around the place, lots of paths. Nice clean bathrooms. Man who's taking care of the place was very helpful. The place looks exactly like on the pictures. Would go there again if going to Pula area again!

We, a group of ten young people from Germany, stayed at Cave Romana for the second time and it was just as beautiful and refreshing a holiday as last year! There can't be said too much about how great Josip is: friendly, helpful, funny and understanding. The house is very clean, everything works perfectly and exactly as described and there isn't really anything you would miss. Although it has an old-times-charm, all the technology is there. The contact with the owner, Chris Ridley, is ever so pleasant and easy. We had (again) aber wonderful experience and want to come back again! - Jessica

Nice and we'll equipped house with plenty of space indoors as well as outdoors. We especially enjoyed the pool area with lots of possibilities for sun and shade. Beware: We were bitten by mosquitoes especially in the evenings so remember to bring repellent.
