A homely traditional house with outside space set in a quiet rural position
A homely, traditional house with outside space set in a quiet rural position. The house was very clean and the welcome from the owners warm and friendly and they were very willing to provide lovely meals if required. A good base for visiting the Istrian resorts but not an easy walking access to the nearest beach.

Romantic and charming holiday home
A return visit for us at this beautiful rustic cottage set in peaceful grounds just outside the lovely village of Rakalj. Ideal for a couple just like us, but also perfect for two to three couples or a family. The house oozes charm and has been lovingly restored by the owner to create a wonderful retreat with exposed stone walls and beams while at the same time providing all the mod cons for easy living. The large open plan living downstairs creates a good space for larger groups and one of the bedrooms upstairs is a very generous size, whilst the other one is very comfortable and pretty for two people. Outside space is amazing with several seating areas providing sun or shade to suit all preferences. There is a large table for dining and an outside kitchen space for BBQs. Young children can enjoy the little playground area at the back of the cottage and you are surrounded by fields and the vine and olive groves. Waking up to the sounds of just the birds singing is heaven. If you're feeling energetic you can walk or cycle to the village in just a few minutes where there are a couple of local bars. This place is a perfect location for either just chilling and relaxing on the local deserted beaches, reached by small tracks just less than five minutes away or for travelling to larger resorts like Rovinj or Pula. Our favourite place was Fazana which I recommend if you like to sit by a small harbour drinking a glass wine or cocktail watching the sun set. Less than 30 minutes drive it's quieter than Rovinj but still has the charm and traditional ambience with a wide choice of restaurants to eat in. Highly recommend Danonna just set back from the harbour in the little side alleys by the church. Livio and Magda are fabulous hosts who will offer you a warm welcome and help you with anything. Always ready to share a beer or Grappa! Great cooking service provided if you request it. We look forward to our next visit.

Wundebar
Es war ein wunderbarer Urlaub. DIe Lage des Ferienhauses ist abseits des Touristenrummels, man kann ganz ruhig schlafen. Das Haus selbst ist sehr gemütlich. Die Gastgeber sind gastfreundlich,herzlich und angenehm. Der Kontakt gelang einfach (sprechen auch deutsch). Man kann alle Touristenhöhepunkte mit dem Auto gut anfahren, aber auch abseits davon gibt es viel zu entdecken. In diesem Ferienhaus kann man sehr genussvolle Ferien haben. Vielen Dank den Gastgebern.

Perfekt!
Die vielen positiven Kommentare über die Vermieter kann ich nur bestätigen: Magda und Livio sind ganz reizende Menschen, die alles tun, dass sich ihre Gäste wohlfühlen. Das Haus selber ist das beste Ferienhaus, das wir je hatten: geschmackvoll eingerichtet, supersauber, wunderschöne Terrasse/Außenanlage und mit wirklich allem ausgestattet, was man braucht, vor allem die Klimaanlage war bei 37 Grad draußen eine Wohltat. Rakalj selber ist ein kleines ruhiges Örtchen ohne das typische Touristenleben, aber mit einem schönen Restaurant und einem kleinen Supermarkt. Die Strände sind mit dem Auto schnell zu erreichen, eher klein und ebenfalls nicht touristisch überlaufen. Wir haben uns sehr sehr wohl gefühlt und würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Absolut Topp!
Ganz Toll!!!! Rakalj ist ein kleines Dorf abseits der Touristengebiete in Istrien mit ganz tollen Lokalen nur Minuten mit dem Auto entfernt.....Hier gehen die Kroaten auch noch selber essen. Es ist alles so wie auf der Seite beschrieben.Abends totale Stille, kein Zivilisationslärm... nur Ruhe. Livio und Magda sind sehr liebe Vermieter... jeder Zeit bei Fragen und Tipps erreichbar. Livio hat uns sogar am ersten Tag die Strände mit seinem Auto gezeigt....Wir sind mit Ihm Boot gefahren und den einen Abend hat er für uns Istrisch gekocht.... Total lecker. Seine Schwester verkauft selbst gemachten Wein und Olivenöl... Wer es mag, abseits des Touristentrubels Urlaub zu machen, jeden Tag 5 Minuten mit dem Auto zum Strand zufahren und dann nach einem kleinen Fußmarsch an ganz tollen Stränden zu entspannen, der ist hier genau richtig. Ich war jeden Tag im dem kleinen Dorfkonsum einkaufen, hier gibt es vom frischen Brot angefangen bis Grillkohle alles... und ganz nette Menschen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen!!!
