Guest comments
We really enjoyed our holiday in Croatia, the cottage was clean, comfortable and well located away from the busier coastline tourist areas. The villagers were so friendly and welcoming. We will recommend it to anyone, as a great holiday destination! Elen and Family Easter 2011.
A lovely house with everything you could want. The covered terrace is superb for leisurely breakfasts. The rest of the house has a quality feel, new kitchen, comfy beds and the air-conditioning in the upstairs bedroom is a welcome addition. A real home from home.' Wainwright family August 2010.
'A pretty and peaceful stone cottage in a friendly Istrian village. A romantic and large Master bedroom with a cool and shady patio terrace. All the amenities for a stress free holiday, especially if you like walking or cycling. Istria is so beautiful with picture book towns and villages, masses of coastline and only 1.5 hours from Stansted. Perfect. Thanks - Marian, and Carol June 2010.
