Summary:

Thanks for everything and especially to Ariela and Marin as they also give others the opportunity to spend a few wonderful days in this wonderful accommodation with the rental.

BTW: One of our sons had the "perfidious" idea to give a bad rating, so the accommodation will be free again for us next time. ;)

Nachdem wir (2 Erwachsene, 2 Kinder und 1 Hund) schon 2016 zwei Wochen in OUR ISTRIA verbracht, haben waren wir dieses Jahr für knapp 3 Wochen hier - und wieder war es zu kurz! Dieses Ferienhaus ist ein Paradies, ein liebe- und geschmackvoll eingerichtetes Haus, ein wunderschönes Grundstück und ein toller Pool in absolut ruhiger Alleinlage und die absolut besten Vermieter der Welt!!!

We had a great time at Our Istria - the house and garden are beautiful.

Ariela and Marin were superb hosts with nothing being too much trouble.

Highly recommended

Dank Ariela und Marin, die Besitzer von "Nasa Istria", war unser 2-wöchiger Kroatien-Sommerurlaub mit 4 Personen in Istrien einer der schönsten Urlaube!

Das Anwesen ist traumhaft! Gepflegtes Haus und super Garten, auch im Sommer alles grün, schattige Terrasse und Lodgia, ein nagelneuer sauberer Pool, an und in dem es sich auch bei heißem Wetter (besonders in der am Pool gelegenen "Scheherazade" mit Grillhäuschen) prima loungen läßt. Das Haus ist mit so viel Liebe eingerichtet, man möchte dort sofort einfach auf Dauer einziehen! Die Ausstattung läßt keine Wünsche offen, alles da! Wer mag, kann auch die Klimaanlage in 3 Zimmern anstellen, bei heißen Temeperaturen schläft es sich dann natürlich nachts noch besser.

Auch wenn das Anwesen abgeschieden liegt und man deshalb in der Natur absolute Ruhe erfährt, ist man mit dem Auto schnell beim Einkaufen, Restaurant, Bakautomat, Post, Tankstelle und den istrischen Stränden und Sehenswürdigkeiten.

Die Tips für Exkursionen, Restaurants, sowie Strandempfehlungen und Stadtausflüge von Ariela und Marin ersetzen komplett unserern Istrien-Reiseführer. Noch nie sind wir nach der langen Anreise mit einem gut gefüllten Kühlschrank und Abendessen verwöhnt worden! Wir haben in Istrien neue Freunde und ein außergewöhnliches Ferienhaus gefunden, und würden sofort wieder morgen die Koffer dorthin packen!

From the very first contact to see if there was any availability, Marin and Ariela were fantastic. Warm, welcoming and friendly. They accommodated our needs regarding dates. The information received was spot on with regard to what to expect and how to get there, which was very easy.

When we arrived, they were waiting for us with a warm welcome and it felt like coming home, we couldn't have asked for better. (the boys adored them from the start) The property and grounds are breathtaking, beautifully kept but, again, very welcoming - no feeling of 'please keep off the grass'!!! It was hard to believe that all that was just ours for the week! Facilities were excellent, we wanted for nothing.

Ariela and Marin gave us a tour, explained how things worked and gave us loads of information about things to do in the area, tailored to our needs. They left us with supplies so we didn't have to go out again that day which was fantastic.

The house is beautiful, clean and very well maintained - lots of lovely little areas to suit all needs (and weather). My two personal favourites were the little pool house so I could relax and watch the boys play in the pool and the covered upstairs veranda (I want one just like it!!). The two boys (8 and 11) had a great time with the toys, play equipment and the pool with all-weather-swimming cover. They didn't want to leave at the end of the week.

The local area is great, Istria is beautiful and steeped in history - lots of little old hill top towns to explore, beautiful coastline, beaches and coves and the people are warm and welcoming. Thank you Marin and Ariela for showing us round your lovely town of Kastav.

The local Tavern is amazing, again very friendly and welcoming. We went twice and had the best meals of the holiday there and when you factor in cheapness the value for money is outstanding. (The owner even came haring down the track in his car after us because it started to storm and he didn't want us to walk back and get soaked! service with care!)

We would highly recommend this property to anyone, It is peaceful and it suits families with kids of all ages (who can shout and run and play without disturbing anyone) as well as a perfect romantic getaway for a couple.

The care and attention to detail is great, we really couldn't have asked for a better place to start our holiday in Croatia or better people to welcome us to the amazing country, and I really hope we get a chance to come back. Thank you so much
