Quiet location but within striking distance of the Adriatic coast including Porec and Rovinj. Barbara was an exemplary host and the house was exactly what we hoped it would be. We enjoyed the pool, the privacy and the villages and towns within easy reach with a car. Very well equipped and lots of thought has gone into the set up of this holiday home. Thank you for a very relaxing stay. ##### Neil Holland This review comes from a trusted partner site and has not been verified. ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jesica 5 Feb 2023 #### Great place for sure!
