Guest comments
When we arrived the house was immaculate. Try as we might we couldn't find a single speck of dust – perfect! The house in our opinion was really tastefully furnished – we loved your style and yes we did feel very much at home thanks. The fact that the garden is walled in was great as there was no escape route for our kids, beautiful pool and garden, well kept. Lucy Hazel, 2008
We were very pleased with the house and thought it was very well equipped especially for children. We made good use of the high chair, bed guard and travel cot. The weather was great and we remembered to water the hanging baskets so they still look lovely.

About the owner
Hi, my husband and I bought No 5 Stifanici almost 5 years ago now and we are so happy we did. Istria is one of the most picturesque and friendly places you could wish to visit and the village of Stifanici offers an insight into traditional Croatian living.
We chose a quiet traditional village so we could grow to be part of the community. Our neighbours have seen our children grow and always take the time to pop and see us.
We have renovated the house combining both modern facilities and the new luxury bathrooms we added in 2010 have just added to the beauty of No 5.
We have lived in India for the last 3 years and now in the US but we always make a point of visiting the house each year, often spending 4-5 weeks there in the summer; we just love it and have made it a home from home!
