Needs air conditioning and mosquito control

I would have given this villa more than 3 stars, but it has two major drawbacks that the owners seem to be reluctant to improve. Firstly, the house is hot – the idea that stone houses are cool in summer is a myth - 500 cm of stone has the same insulating effect as 1.5cm of rockwool. The solution is air conditioning. In response to comments by previous guests, the four bedrooms now have fans (1 broken), but they remain hot, while the beds are provided with sheets and no blankets. Secondly, the area has a lot of mosquitoes. During our stay, everyone was bitten many times – so it would be a good idea if the owners (or their agent) provided fly spray for each of the bedrooms. A better solution would be to provide electric UV insect zappers, which are not expensive. The pool, which is only 1.5 meters deep, has several loungers. In view of the hot sunny weather, it would be a good idea to provide parasols. The nearest shop is in Motovun is a good 10 minutes’ drive away on winding mountain roads. In practice, this means that by car it takes at least 30 minutes each way to reach the nearest supermarkets. The local shop in Motovun is fine for food and most things. Visitors would feel more welcome if the owners arranged for certain basic items to be provided for newly arrived guests – toilet paper, fly spray, matches (for the BBQ), salt, sugar, tea/coffee, dishwasher tablets, washing machine powder – things often left by the previous guests, but not worth taking with them. Finally, Caroline, the agent was punctual and efficient when sending e-mails for payment, but it took 5 days before she sent us the code for the box that held the house key. After no response to e-mails, sms, or the telephone, we finally got the key code less than 24 hours before we were due to arrive at the house

Fabulous villa - lovely location

With four children and four adults the villa was perfect for our needs. The villa is well equipped and tastefully decorated - with great outdoor eating areas. The pool was lovely and the location rurally picturesque. Motovun is very beautiful and clear from every window! We had asked about whether there was air conditioning and were reassured that the villa remained cool and therefore wasn’t needed. We didn’t find this and the evening heat was particularly challenging with young children sleeping at night and consequently our quality of sleep! This is probably the one thing that would prevent us returning. The mosquitoes and ants were in force too so remember the bug spray ! Netting at the windows might help the heat to allow you to leave the windows out while avoiding being eaten alive!

Genieten met een super uitzicht !

We hebben genoten van ons verblijf in deze mooie villa. Zeer rustig gelegen met prachtig zicht op het stadje Motovun. Ideaal om te verblijven met twee gezinnen. Een auto is wel noodzakelijk want de dichtstbijzijnde grote supermarkt is 30 min rijden. Enig minpuntje is de vaatwasser die niet goed werkt 😜. Zorg ook voor goede muggenzalf... Als je wijn wil proeven zeker langs gaan bij de buren "fakin". Het is veel goedkoper om rechtstreeks bij hen te kopen ipv in Motovun. We willen zeker nog eens terugkomen !!! 😎

Fantastic property, highly recommend

Great layout with seperate bathroom for each bedroom, amazing views, multiple out door seating areas and beautiful pool right next to house. It is down an off-road track but that helps with serenity and can walk to coffee (through vines) in 20-25 minutes. Minor quibble that has no basic supplies (e.g. dish cloth, dish washing liquid, extra toilet paper) but overall a brilliant experience.

Hoher Erholungsfaktor

Gut ausgestattetes Ferienhaus mit wundervoller Aussicht aufs Mirnatal und auf Motovun. Schöne Küche. Große Räume, bequeme Betten, alle Annehmlichkeiten in der Küche. An den Fliesenfugen der Duschen leider teils Schimmel.Pool riesig, sehr sauber und gut gewartet. Die Pooliegen bequem, die Auflagen aber leider verschlissen. Der Zustand der Matten entsprach keinesfalls dem Gesamtzustand der Villa, und auch die Badetücher für den Pool waren teilweise in sehr schlechtem Zustand. Die Leuchten im Pool liefen leider bis 1:00, was uns im Zimmer störte und wir auch aus ökolog. Gründen als unnötig erachteten. Schöner gemauerter Grillkamin. Reichlich getrocknetes Kaminholz vorhanden. Die Moskitos waren auf alle Fälle ein Thema, wenngleich die Schlafräume durch Gelsengitter abgeschirmt. Leider im Erdgeschoß nirgends Gitter an den vielen Fenstern und Glastüren vorhanden, der abendliche Aufenthalt, im Freien unmöglich, in den Gemeinschaftsräumen ebenfalls nicht lange erträglich.Trotz abends geschlossener Türen und Fenster waren die untertags hereinfliegenden Mücken so lästig, dass wir uns manchmal bereits früh in die mückensicheren Schlafzimmer begeben mussten. Ein bis zwei Fliegengittertüren im Erdgeschoß wären wirklich fein gewesen. Das bereitgestellte WLAN ist nur für Geduldige mit kleinen Ansprüchen an Datenmengen und der Bereitschaft, auch mal längere Ausfälle zu tolerieren, passend. Wegen der Mängel in Bezug auf Moskitonetze Erdgeschoß und schlechtes Internet ein Punkt Abzug.

Toller Aufenthalt in der Casa Lucia

Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt zu siebt. Der Pool wurde mehrmals gereinigt und hatte eine angenehme Temperatur. Das Haus war bei Ankunft sehr sauber. Auch die Ausstattung der Küche war sehr gut. Mithilfe einiger Anti-Moskito-Hilfsmittel und der Moskitonetze an den Fenstern waren die Stechmücken auch kein großes Problem. Musik am Pool schien auch kein Problem zu sein. Insgesamt ein toller Aufenthalt!

Ett underbart hus med magisk utsikt

Huset är rymligt och trevligt, väldigt välutrustat. Poolen är stor och välskött. Men det mest fantastiska var utsikten upp mot Motovun, den kunde vi inte se oss mätta på. Det kan vara bra att veta att huset ligger lite avsides, det är kuperat och inte så lätt att gå till byn, vägen ner till huset är brant och kurvig så viktigt att köra försiktigt.

Tolles Haus mit kleinen Einschränkungen

Vorweg möchte ich sagen, dass das Haus im Original genau so ist wie auf den Bildern. Toller und gut aufgeteilter Schnitt der einzelnen 4x Schlafzimmer jeweils mit einem eigenen Bad und abgetrennter Flurtüre. Sehr tolle Küche mit vollwertiger Ausstattung, und einem ansprechenden Wohnzimmer. Während unserer Reisezeit waren die Außenbereiche aufgrund von Moskitos nicht zu benutzen, liegt wahrscheinlich an viel Nässe, gepaart mit warmen Temperaturen, sowie der regenwaldartige Umgebung. Für die Anfahrt zum Haus wird definitiv ein Fahrzeug mit etwas Bodenfreiheit benötigt, die Zufahrt führt über einen Schotterweg sowie ein abschüssiges Bergabstück zum Haus. Das Haus bietet einen super Blick auf Motovun, für die meisten Aktivitäten ist man aber auf das Auto angewiesen. Die Lager ist eher ländlich und lädt in der Ruhe des nichts zur Entspannung ein.

Toller Urlaub

Wir hatten 2 tolle Wochen in Motovun. Das Haus ist sehr schön. Wir verreisten mit 4 Erwachsenen und 2 Kindern. Die Kommunikation mit Caroline war hervorragend. Sie hat immer sofort geantwortet und sich gekümmert. Aufgrund der Hitze ist der Pool leider schnell grünlich geworden! Eine kurze Meldung und es wurde sich gekümmert. Das Haus liegt sehr idyllisch, dadurch jedoch auch ziemlich abgelegen. Zum Meer sind es 30 Minuten. Der kleine Supermarkt in Motovun ist ok, jedoch nicht überragend. Zum Einkauf muss man nach Porec oder Pazin. Das Einzige über das sich die Besitzer Gedanken machen sollten, ist die Installation einer Klimaanlage. Bei Temperaturen Mitte 30 Grad kann man die Hitze auch mit verschlossenen Fensterläden nicht draußen halten. Alles in Allem hatten wir eine tolle Zeit!

Die Lage ist ideal für Ausflüge in die Region. Sehr schöne Wander- und Radtouren, Städtebesichtigungen oder Strandaufenthalte. Sehr gut gefallen hat uns die Trüffelsuche mit Miro in Motovun. Die Temperaturen in der ersten Oktoberhälfte waren sehr angenehm, zum Baden zeitweise schon etwas kühl.
