Sommer 2023

Ein sehr nettes Haus im alten Stiel. Ideal mit Kindern. Man kann sich sehr gut Erholen. Ein ruhiger Ort mit einen schönen Strand in der nähe. Der Vermieter ist sehr Zuvorkommend.

Mehr erhofft wie angetroffen

viele Kleinigkeiten die zu erledigen wären um sich wohl zu fühlen, es fehlt die Liebe zum Detail. Das Bad ist kleiner als klein, Fugen sind verschimmelt. Zu wenig Geschirr und nur 2 Kochplatten und alles sehr eng und keine Abstellflächen. Wir waren zum Glück nur zu zweit für mehr Personen finde ich es zu klein. Was auch sehr ärgerlich war ist das kein Schattenplatz vorhanden ist, wäre mit einem Sonnensegel mühelos erledigt. Ganz wichtig viel Mückenspray mitnehmen. Wenn man draußen die Aussendusche benutzt, nicht grillen, besprechen mit Vermieter. Für das Geld etwas besseres erwartet.

Relax

Casa accogliente, curata e pulita. Bell il ardono e mare magnifico , raggiungibile solo in macchina. Josep ospite ineccepibile . Consiglierei una lampada in più all’esterno della casa, unica nota dolente tantissime zanzare in giardino.... difficile mangiare all’esterno. Comunque una bella proprietà

Urlaub abseits des Massentourismus

Alles war so wie wir uns es vorgestellt hatten. Wenn das Wetter eventuell nicht so gut ist, wird es mit 5 Personen vielleicht aber ein bisschen eng. Dadurch dass wir die Außendusche nutzen konnten, war aber alles in Ordung. Nette Bar mit Snacks um die Ecke, und ein kleiner Supermarkt vor Ort. Die Strände sind gut mit dem Auto oder sogar zu Fuß zu erreichen und fast menschenleer. Auch unser Hund hat sich wohl gefühlt, weil das gesamte Grundstück ummauert ist. Auch der Kontakt mit Josip war super. Wir können uns vorstellen wieder zu kommen.

About the host

Hosted by Josip Bolkovic

Our family has been hosting guests since 2006. A great number of people from all over the world has been our guests since then. Each time we do our best to you as we like you to feel like you are at your own home.

Why they chose this property

Sailor's house unique values are vicinity of the village center with still peaceful olive garden. The house is a real Istrian tradition when it comes to the architecture and decoration. It also has a small garden where you can pick traditional Mediterranean herbs like rosemary and lavander.
