Guest comments
We had a great week at the villa. It was the second week of our stay in Croatia – the first was at a resort in Umag, to the North. The facilities at the villa are first rate. Perfect for two families. We loved Rovinj and also Fazana where there are some great harbourside restaurants. There was a band playing in the square also. We did a boat trip from Rovinj and would have loved to have done a longer one. The wine was a real success. I’ve left an empty container if you want to fill up. It was about 80 Kuna for five litres. It’s opposite the train station in a building saying ‘agroproduct’ – although they weren’t open on the Sunday that I tried; I had to go back in the week. The Colosseum in Pula is fantastic. Take plenty of change for parking. All-in-all a great time with the bonus that it’s very close to Pula airport. The Palmer and Harding families, Barnet, August 2009.
We enjoyed our holidays in this nice villa with a great pool. Colum was great, we want to thank him a lot !
