Guest comments
Our second visit felt like home from home. Loved it, would like to buy in Istria ourselves. Bob and Lynn

The whole stay was marvellous. The house was amazing. Nina

We had an absolutely fantastic week at the villa. The house and studio were gorgeous and the men enjoyed themselves barbecuing every night and sitting out on the lovely table outside. Kelly

We all thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Stranici. Your home is wonderful and in a fantastic location. We will definitely be looking to come back next year. Passed your details onto friends and family.
