Stayed 5 nights in Jul 2017 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Hans C. 21 Aug 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, check-in, communication, listing accuracy Disliked: Location #### Mooi vakantiehuis op bijzondere plek. Konden het huisje in eerste instantie niet vinden. Ligt namelijk in een kleine buurtschap wat meer wegheeft van een autokerkhof. Eenmaal in de tuin blij verrast met wat we aantroffen. Karakteristieke woning met voldoende leefruimte en grote tuin. Kook- en douchegelegenheid ietwat behelpen. Airco in woonkamer. Niet in de slaapkamers (onder het schuine dak), waardoor met 30 graden lekker zweten. Marija Bistrica is klein en niet veel te doen. Voor uitstapjes even rijden in het prachtige landschap. Ondanks dat topvakantie gehad en zeker aan te bevelen. ##### Hans C. Stayed 14 nights in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Bernd B. 27 Jan 2018 #### Sehr freundliche Vermieter, uriges Haus in einem kleinen Dorf. Keine Beanstandungen! Sehr empfehlenswert wenn man es ruhig und ohne Luxus liebt. Die Vermieterin und ihre Familie sind super nett. Das Haus ist sehr gemütlich und ruhig gelegen. Als wir ankamen war alles vorbereitet: eingeheizt, Betten überzogen und es gab einen Schnaps. Tolles WLAN, keine deutschen Kanäle. Ausstattung gut und es hat alles funktioniert. Wer Kaffee mag nimmt wie wir einen kleinen Kaffeeautomaten mit. Wir waren 4 Männer und haben Handball EM geschaut in Kroatien und die Woche sehr genossen. Hvala, Mia & family. ##### Bernd B. Stayed 7 nights in Jan 2018 This review was submitted before 2018 and has not been verified. ### 8/10 Good #### Holly E., Glen Ridge, NJ USA 15 Oct 2016 #### Prettiest cottage in the country Really liked this pretty cottage, even in the off season. Mia and her husband met us and showed us the wood stove for heat and welcomed us with a glass of local brandy and gave us plenty of information about the area. It is quiet, and the radio stations have more commercials than I like, so you may want bring music. Kitchen is well equipped but only a hot pot for water, so it's instant coffee unless you bring your own supplies. Eggs from the neighbor made a great breakfast after a walk over the hills. Great place to chill out. ##### Holly E. Stayed 2 nights in Oct 2016 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Le Meridien Lav, Split](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Podstrana-Hotels-Le-Meridien-Lav.h1530434.Hotel-Information) > > [Shell Luxury Residences](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Zadar-Hotels-Luxury-Apartment-Periska.h39421856.Hotel-Information) > > [Aminess Laurel Khalani Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Makarska-Hotels-Aminess-Khalani-Beach-Hotel.h73776661.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluesun Hotel Neptun](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tucepi-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Neptun.h2805571.Hotel-Information) > > [Maslina Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stari-Grad-Hotels-Maslina-Resort.h76161496.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Milna Osam - Adults only](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milna-Hotels-Hotel-Milna-Osam-Adults-Only.h6330336.Hotel-Information) > > [Maistra Select Island Hotel Istra](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Maistra-Istra-Hotel-Rovinj.h1504267.Hotel-Information) > > [Olivia Green Camping](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tisno-Hotels-Camp-Dalmacija.h39175982.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluesun Hotel Berulia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Brela-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Berulia.h2814409.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Olympia](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vodice-Hotels-Hotel-Olympia.h1310211.Hotel-Information) > > [Maistra Select Amarin Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Resort-Amarin.h1502989.Hotel-Information) > > [Villa Mediterranea](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bol-Hotels-Villa-Mediterranea.h17450257.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Brown Beach House & Spa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Trogir-Hotels-Hotel-Brown-Beach-House-Spa.h15831690.Hotel-Information) > > [Spirito Santo Palazzo Storico](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Spirito-Santo-Palazzo-Storico.h18740252.Hotel-Information) > > [Aminess Vival Port9 Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Korcula-Hotels-Port-9-Hotel.h1648189.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Excelsior](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Dubrovnik-Hotels-Hotel-Excelsior.h868175.Hotel-Information) > > [Pharos Hvar Bayhill Hotel](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hvar-Hotels-Pharos-Hvar-Bayhill-Hotel.h1611250.Hotel-Information) > > [Gava Waterman Milna Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Milna-Hotels-Gava-Waterman-Milna-Resort.h17460996.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluesun Hotel Elaphusa](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Bol-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Elaphusa.h1436631.Hotel-Information) > > [Grand Park Hotel Rovinj by Maistra Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Grand-Park-Hotel-Rovinj.h34782112.Hotel-Information) > > [Eden Hotel by Maistra Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Maistra-Eden-Hotel-Rovinj.h1504268.Hotel-Information) > > [Park Plaza Verudela Pula](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Pula-Hotels-Park-Plaza-Verudela-Pula.h2332974.Hotel-Information) > > [Amfora Hvar Grand Beach Resort](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Hvar-Hotels-Amfora-Hvar-Grand-Beach-Resort.h1467967.Hotel-Information) > > [D-Resort Šibenik](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Sibenik-Hotels-D-Resort-Sibenik.h11050080.Hotel-Information) > > [Maistra Select Family Hotel Amarin](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Family-Hotel-Amarin.h2461795.Hotel-Information) > > [Aminess Vival Port9 Residence](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Korcula-Hotels-Port-9-Apartments.h10106943.Hotel-Information) > > [Bluesun Hotel Jadran](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Tucepi-Hotels-Bluesun-Hotel-Jadran.h54273907.Hotel-Information) > > [[PLACES] Hvar by Valamar](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Stari-Grad-Hotels-HvarPLACESHOTEL-By-Valamar.h5130567.Hotel-Information) > > [Lone Hotel by Maistra Collection](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Rovinj-Hotels-Hotel-Lone-Rovinj.h4561218.Hotel-Information) > > [Koversada Rooms](https://www.expedia.co.uk/Vrsar-Hotels-Naturist-Park-Koversada-Villas.h1508675.Hotel-Information)
