tolles Haus, nette Gastgeber
Wir wurden sehr nett begrüßt und in das Haus eingewiesen, frisches Obst und leckerer Wein standen für uns bereit. Ein schönes, altes istrisches Haus, liebe- und geschmackvoll vom Besitzer hergerichtet. Hervorzuheben ist die gemütliche Außensitzstelle und der Pool, der zum relaxen und erfrischen einlädt. Küche und Grillplatz sind für eine Ferienunterkunft sehr gut ausgestattet, man vermisst nichts. Die Lage ist ruhig (wenn man vom Hundegebell, Katzenmiauen und Hähnegekrähe mal absieht;-), ein kleiner Supermarkt liegt direkt gegenüber und vom Ort aus erreicht man alle Strände und Städte in Istrien in 10-60 Minuten Fahrt.
Wir hatte während unseres Aufenthalts 4 Skorpione und eine Riesenspinne (nach entspechender Recherche stellte sich heraus, dass nichts davon giftiger ist als eine Wespe) im Haus, wer da empfindlich ist, könnte Probleme kriegen.
An unserem letzten Abend hat der Vermieter für uns gegrillt (allerlei Fleisch und Fisch), dazu gab es selbstgebackenes Brot und Salat aus dem eigenen Garten und andere Beilagen, alles zu einem fairen Preis.
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen und würden sofort wiederkommen!
Vielen Dank an die Familie!

Schöne Unterkunft
Wir hatten eine schöne Zeit in diesem Ferienhaus. Allerdings ist der Gemeinschaftsraum bei Regentagen und einer größeren Anzahl an Gästen zu klein. Ist das Wetter gut, kann man sich wunderbar auf der Terrasse und im Poolbereich aufhalten.
Orania und Hanna waren bei Fragen immer sehr hilfsbereit und offen und wir haben ein paar tolle Tips erhalten. Danke hierfür!
