Une terrasse assez grande également. La propriétaire est très sympathique et extrêmement serviables et aussi très réactive. Malheureusement il faut tout faire en voiture.

Beautiful beaches around! ##### Stefan S. ### 8/10 Good #### Anna S., Fürth Burgfarrnbach 24 Jun 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, location, listing accuracy #### uriges Ferienhaus am Dorf im istrischen Stil Das Ferienhaus ist im typischen istrischen Stil, wie die Einwohner hier auch leben. Der garten ist riesig und mit Olivenbäumen bepflanzt und sehr gepflegt. Für die Kinder gibt es ein Trampolin zum Austoben. Wir haben hier auch gerne mal abends im Steingrill gegrillt. Im OG ist eine Klimaanlage, die bei uns nachts immer lief wegen der Wärme. Das Kinderzimmer wurde neu möbeliert, das Elternschlafzimmer erinnert etwas an "Oma's Zeiten". ;-) Das Bad ist zwar etwas klein, aber für drei Personen doch ausreichend. Leider gibt es nur einen Duschvorhang, was das Duschen auf engem Raum etwas erschwert. Eine Waschmaschine ist auch vorhanden und wie gesagt alles, was man zum Erholen und Ausruhen benötigt (Hollywoodschaukel, Sonnenliegen, usw.) Die Vermieter selbst sind sehr nett, wenngleich wir uns auch nur überwiegend via WhatsApp auf englisch unterhalten haben. Ein persönlicher Kontakt bestand nur bei An- und Abreise, da die Vermieter selbst in der Hauptstadt wohnen. Das Haus liegt etwas abseits, d.h. man muss wirklich alles mit dem Auto erledigen, d.h. auch Wege zur nächsten Badebucht (die übrigens wunderschön ist) oder zum Restaurant. Leider wird in der Anzeige hier nicht erwähnt, dass neben dem Haus ein Kindergarten (ca. 25 Kinder) ist, was für Urlauber, die ihre "Ruhe haben möchten", wohl eher von Nachteil wäre. Uns persönlich hat es nicht gestört, da die Kinder nicht sehr laut waren und wir selbst mit unserer kleinen Tochter verreisten. Alles in allem aber ein schönes Haus zum Weiterempfehlen. ##### Anna S. Stayed 12 nights in Jun 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### ALESSANDRO F. 28 Aug 2018 #### BELLA CASA IN ZONA TRANQUILLA La casa è ideale per 3-4 persone, ben arredata e con un giardino davvero godibile. I proprietari parlano italiano e sono cordiali e disponibilissimi. Con l'automobile in pochi minuti si raggiungono splendide spiaggette. Nelle vicinanze anche un mini-market dove acquistare lo stretto necessario. Consigliatissima a chi ama la quiete, ma se si cercano anche divertimenti e vita notturna , con 20 minuti d'auto si raggiunge Pola. ##### ALESSANDRO F. Stayed 14 nights in Aug 2018 ---
