What our guests say

The house is beautiful, with plenty of space for 7 people. The four bedrooms are nicely furnished, each with its own TV. The pool was definitely a highlight – sun loungers, parasols and towels were all ready, as was a charcoal grill. Very peaceful surroundings with shops and restaurants within walking distance. Stefan and Laura were always reachable. We had a wonderful holiday and would love to come back – highly recommended, great for families with children too!

One of the most beautiful houses in Višnjan! A lovingly renovated historic building, updated with all modern comforts. Višnjan has everything you need: a butcher, supermarkets, a pizzeria and a very good local restaurant. The sea is less than 15 minutes away. After a day out, the pool is perfect for cooling off. We felt very much at home and would love to return!

★★★★★ Christian K. · Google

The house is freshly renovated and decorated with great attention to detail. Everything you need is there: a fully equipped kitchen and outdoor kitchen, a great pool, air conditioning and 3 full bathrooms. Višnjan is ideally located for day trips to Motovun, Poreč or Pula. Check-in was seamless and communication with Stefan & Laura was fast and straightforward. We would love to come back!

A beautiful house in a great location, just 20 minutes by car from the sea. I was there with 6 friends for a cycling race – the house was an absolute highlight and very well equipped. A wonderful retreat, especially for families. The village has great restaurants: from local cuisine to Italian pizza.

A great holiday home, highly recommended! Clean, well-maintained and modernly furnished with high-quality fittings. Supermarket, bakery and restaurants are all within walking distance. Towns and beaches are just a short drive away. We forgot our air mattress pump – the hosts helped us out straight away. That was brilliant!

★★★★★ Kadija P. · Booking.com

A very beautiful property overall. Quietly situated, ideal for relaxing in the sun by the pool. A small supermarket, restaurants, butcher and bakery are all within walking distance. Just over 15 minutes by car to the beach.

★★★★★ Matthias T. · Google

Very friendly host who responds to messages straight away. Clean pool with generous dimensions, completely renovated house and beautifully furnished rooms. One minor note: you can hear noise between floors – groups with different sleeping schedules should be aware of this.
