We had such an amazing stay that our family ( with two kids 6 and 3 yrs) didn't want to leave. The house is beautiful and authentic. It has been lovingly restored and has modern conveniences yet still has all the charm of an old cottage. It is just as the pictures shows yet better when you get to experience the surroundings and peace and quiet of the beautiful countryside. Our kids loved roaming freely in search of cats or lizards or butterflies. We enjoyed leisurely mornings by the beautiful pool although be prepared it's a little chilly as its not heated. Brigita was the most attentive host I have ever met.... And we stay at many rental homes. She was very accomodating when I had trouble wiring funds to secure the property and then continued to show kindness and thoughtfulness the entire stay. She welcomed us to the house with the bounty from her garden a bottle of delicious olive oil from olives on their groves of trees and a bottle a red and white wine. If that weren't enough she greeted us the next morning with a freshly made cheesecake and a few mornings later she dropped off a basket of plums from her trees. So generous and kind! She cleaned the pool everyday which was very unexpected as well. Overall we would come back in a heartbeat. We traveled for two weeks in Croatia and loved the region where the house was so much. We enjoyed daily day trips to Pula, Rovinj, Trieste Italy, Porec Slovenia and Opatija. All within a 45 mins to 1 and 15 mins drive... So very doable for a day trip. We fell in love with the hill town Motovun which is a short drive away and had dinner enjoying the sunsets and views three different nights. Bottom line I would stay here again if we were to ever come back to Croatia, it was a highlight of our trip!
