We were welcomed by the owners wife and daughter. They were very friendly and helpful. The house is equipped with tasteful furniture, everything one needs and the refrigerator was full with a variety of drinks. There even was a selection of food. With the house comes a nice secluded garden where it is good to rest after a busy day. And when the temperature gets too hot, the airco inside will cool you down. The small village of Slivia has beautiful surroundings. There are several trails to walk with fantastic views over the countryside and the blue Adriatic. Its 5 minutes to the beach in Sistiana, or a 45 minutes’ walk if you do not want to cruise around for a parking spot. A tip: buy the FVG-card at the tourist office in Sistiana. We took the seven-day version. You can visit several museums and other attractions all over Friuli (Trieste, Udine, Gorizia and many more places). For six Euros more you can travel for free on the local busses. During our stay the owners kept in contact, so as to make our stay as comfortable as possible. Thank you Larry and Silvia. ##### R.J. v.

Beim Hinterausgang fällt man quasi in eine großartige Osteria. Wander- und Spazierwege sind vom Haus aus möglich, nicht weit entfernt ist eine bezaubernde Osmiza. Nach Triest, Miramare, Duino, Görz, usw. ist es ein Katzensprung. ##### Verified traveller Stayed 5 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Valérie C. 15 Apr 2019 #### Résidence très cosy où on se sent chez soi Nous étions 5 et cette villa spacieuse a ravi tous les vacanciers par ses vastes espaces intérieurs et extérieurs rénovés avec goût ; sa situation géographique permet de visiter Venise mais aussi d'aller jusqu'en Croatie, et nous avons également apprécié le calme de la localité qui se prêtait au repos. L'accueil particulière chaleureux nous a mis immédiatement à l'aise et nous y serions rester avec plaisir si les vacances n'arrivaient pas à leur terme. Un grand merci à tous pour votre gentillesse et la qualité du lieu. ##### Valérie C. Stayed 7 nights in Apr 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Karin C. 9 Jan 2019 #### Schönes, geräumiges, altes Haus mit viel Platz für die ganze Familie. Unbedingte Empfehlung! Das Haus liegt sehr ruhig in einem kleinen Dorf, man ist aber schnell am Meer oder in Triest oder in Duino. Das Haus ist sehr geräumig und mit schönen alten Möbeln ausgestattet. Wir haben uns viel in der großen Wohnküche aufgehalten, da dort auch ein feiner Pellets-Ofen steht. Es gibt ausreichend Geschirr und auch die wichtigsten Dinge zum Kochen wurden uns zur Verfügung gestellt. Wir haben 5 Tage über den Jahreswechsel im Haus verbracht. Die Nächte sind zu dieser Zeit sehr kalt, aber die kuscheligen Decken und eine durchlaufende Heizung haben uns in unseren Betten warm gehalten. Die freundlichen Schwiegereltern von Larry wohnen in der Nähe und haben uns willkommen geheißen. Sie waren auch immer ansprechbar und sofort da, als wir einmal mit der Heizung Probleme hatten. Wir haben uns im Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Es muss im Sommer wunderbar sein, wenn man auch den großzügigen, gepflegten Garten nutzen und einfach die Türen offen lassen kann. Vielen Dank nochmals an die freundlichen Gastgeber und wir kommen gerne wieder. ##### Karin C. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Malena D., Båstad, Sweden 28 Sept 2018 #### Lovely beautiful homy house with garden We loved our stay in this beautiful homy house, historical yet carefully renovated. Situated in a idyllic village near the spectacular coast between Duino and Trieste. We enjoyed the secluded garden. You must have a car. Owner Larry is a perfect host, friendly, easy and fast to get answers and supoort if needed. ##### Malena D.
