Lovely Stone House in Beautiful Area...and some points to consider
We had a great holiday in this very comfortable stone house with its very high quality of renovation, and very well maintained pool. It is one of around six properties in a quiet hamlet, clustered around a single track road that stops after the house. The views over the hills and to Motovun are magnificent. The owners were very helpful, friendly and provided local information at meet and greet time and at drop off of fresh linen and towels. We came to really love the quirky stone house and especially the pool which is very private, not overlooked and usually quiet and peaceful. It is a few kilometres down the single track road to Livade which has three restaurants and a little shop. Apparently the village is busy during the day with truffle tourists, but in June/July we found it could be almost deserted in the evening (and apart from Truffle Festival time in Sept when it is said to be rammed). About 20 minutes by car to swim at Novigrad which has the usual Istrian concrete and rocks beach but walkways out into the lovely clear and warm sea and plenty of restaurants. It wasn't busy there in June/July but said to be very busy in August when schools are broken up. We really enjoyed our stay and had a fabulous holiday, but would offer some points to consider. On the other side of the track, directly opposite your lovely outside covered table area is the owner's second rental property. You therefore have near neighbours with their pool at the front of the house. This may be important to you if you are seeking isolation and dead quiet. There are 52 steep steps up to the pool behind the house (the stone steps shown in the photos) which means you are away from the neighbours and have a great view but you will need good knees!! There was occasional noise poolside from the neighbours renovation work but generally lovely and peaceful. (There are wasps a plenty drinking at the pool but they do not bother you at all.). The upstairs bedroom has lovely but low wooden beams and as am tall chose other bedroom. This is very cool set into the rock under the main house. It can only be reached by walking along the track to the bedroom door as there is no internal house access. This was a quirk we loved - there is no traffic - but may be a consideration. Only other trivial point was that there is no proper toaster!

Well appointed, with great outdoor spaces
We stayed for 1 week travelling around the area, We liked Motovun nearby. The photo of the pool is spot on, accommodation was spotlessly clean and would definitely recommend it.

Breathtaking view, and a heartwarming hospitality
We were received in a heartwarming way by the owners who gave us an immediate strong impression of the Croatian hospitality. The view from the swimming pool of the beautiful old town of Motovun is truly breathtaking. The villa is located in a perfect location if you wish to explore the whole island of Istria. We have traveled a lot and visited many places and I can say that Villa Aurora belongs on top of our best memories. I often think back on our great conversations and interactions with Santa (hi exists and is the father of the owner ;-), his kindness and his little gifts (local fruits and vegetables and great vine :)) When you get an unforgettable experience, it is with pleasure that you want to do something back. That is why I write this review and highly recommend this villa. I.M from Belgium
