We enjoy being at Zedran's house, the ratio price vs quality is excellent, the house is really comfortable and spacious, every bedroom has his own bathroom, it is clean and has all the equipment both inside and outside with the swimming pool, external tables and bbq. Vedran and his wife are very welcoming and attentive. In addition to the wine bottles at our arrival, they brought us milk and donuts for the kids the 1st morning knowing we had traveled before without having time to go to the supermarket.... The house is well located at 5 min from a stone beach and a good fish restaurant on the port, as well as 15min from Labin in an area very quiet and not busy with people or neighbors. A great place to rest and spend time with family.

It was my third expierience with Airbnb and i need to say that Vedran and his family are the best landlords you can imagine. The house was perfect. It was clean and looked like on the pictures. Vedran is a really friendly person that helped us in any of our problems, even if he didnt need to. Feel free to rent his accomudation - you won't get dissapointed! 5/5 Stars - thank you! Best wishes Alex

We had such a great time at Vedrans House! Everything was exactly like im the description and as seen ok the pictures. Vedran and Martina were always pleased to help us if we had any questions or needed anything! Absolutely awesome and a total recommendation for everybody who's planning to stay in Istria.

Fantastic property in a quiet location Vedran and his house manager couldn't have been more helpful

We just spent 10 days in Martina and Vedran's villa and are already thinking of coming back next year!!! The accomodation is as described and fully equiped. And what to say about Martina and Vedran! I travel a lot and never meet host like them. They're just awsome. If you need something ( rent a boat, get addresses of good restaurants, find the emergency for your kids,...) they will be there for you. It's really comfortable to know that your host will be able to advise you for everything you need to discover Croatia and in particular Istria region.

Ведран, большое спасибо за гостеприимство! Все было здорово! Ведран встретил нас со своей семьей!!! Было очень приятно войти в этот "сказочный" дом где Ведран приготовил нам сюрприз две бутылочки вина и бутылочку граппы!!! Сам дом на много уютней чем на фотографиях!!! Находится в тихом уютном месте, где очень приятно отдохнуть от суеты городов!!! Любой вопрос с Ведраном можно решить очень легко, скажу больше попросили по возможности организовать гитару, по приезду были в шоке, стояла НОВАЯ ГИТАРА которую Ведран купил специально для нас!!!! После дороги с Загбеба, сразу затопили сауну...и в бассейн!!!! Второй наш вечер в Истрии, мы провели с Ведраном , где он нам рассказывал что, где и как, что надо попробовать, а что не стоит, где побывать и что посмотреть..... записав четыре листа и вооружившись навигатором за 8 дней прибывания в Истрии и благодаря советам Ведрана мы получили огромное удовольствие и думаю что обязательно вернемся!!! Спасибо огромное Ведран и большой привет всей семье!!!!!

Die Gastfreundschaft von Martina und Vedran ist nicht zu übertreffen. Vom Anfang bis zun Ende unseres 14-tägigen Aufenthalts haben Sie dafür gesorgt, dass es uns an nichts fehlen muss. Wir erhielten Unterstützung in der Organisation von Ausflügen und viele wertvollel Tipps zur Gestaltung unserer Ferien. Die Ausstattung des Hauses ist neuwertig und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Wir hatten ausreichend Platz. Für die Selbstversorgung von 8 Personen hielt die Küche eine moderne große Kühl-und Gefrierkombination bereit. Ein allzeit gepflegter Pool und ausreichend Liegestühle halfen zu entspannen. Das Haus befindet sich in einer sehr ruhigen Lage. Totale Entspannung ist garantiert. Für Einkäufe, Ausflüge und das Baden im glasklaren Meer benötigt man allerdings das Auto. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt!

Das Haus und die Gastfreundschaft von Vedran und seiner Familie haben unsere Erwartungen übertroffen. Alles war tiptop sauber, das Haus komplett und hochwertig eingerichtet, wir hatten sogar einen Handtuchwechsel unter der Woche und ein Sonderwunsch wurde uns sofort erfüllt Die Zimmer sind genauso schön, wie auf den Fotos ;o) Die Lage des Hauses ist sehr idyllisch, in einer ruhigen Gegend im kroatischen Hinterland, ein Auto ist unbedingt erforderlich Der Weg ist beim ersten Mal schwer zu finden, zum Glück wurden wir telefonisch "gelotst" In der Nähe (1km) ist ein kleines Fischerdorf, in dem man gut Fisch essen kann, die nächsten Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind in Labin, ca 10min mit dem Auto entfernt Alles in Allem ein gelungener Urlaub, wir werden bestimmt wieder kommen und auch weiter empfehlen

Lieu très agreable pour passer du temps au calme

We had a great stay in the lovely house of Daria and family. We are a family of 5 (3 girls aged 9, 14 and 16). The house was perfect for us. It is in a very quiet location just 2 minutes from Trget and 20 minutes from Labin. We absolutely loved the private pool. Daria and family was very friendly and had no problem of us arriving at 1.00 AM. Would recommend this house to everybody that is seeking privacy in luxurious surroundings.

How can we explain, what a wonderful Time started by booking the House of Marco. From the very beginning he and his lovely family were helpful, friendly, uncomplicated and always connectable. When we arrived his family welcomed us and gave us a relaxed start in our holidays with some great tips! ( thanks for the greatest cevapcici) We are a family with two little boys who likes to run and explore and needs space. And at Marcos house we all found that for them. And also we found what we looked for: space, silence, nature and the starting point for trips to the wonderful coasts ,beaches and citys. the nice city Pula you can reach in 20 minutes. If you want to walk beside the big tourism - Marcos house is the perfect place for. We had a wonderful time for 14days, Thanks for all Marco, Maja and your parents, We come back Uwe and nicole

We, my family and I, are so happy that we rented Markos Vacation House one week during summer vacation. First of all the house is lovely, simply lovely. It not a big house, but there is plenty of room for a family like ours, with two smaller kids (2y and 5y). The house is both modern, with a newer bathroom and kitchen equipped with every you need, and also landly and very authentic. The terrace is just fantastic, and was we spend most of our time when we were at the house. There’s also a fine garden with place for the kids to run around, a to play with a small “basin”. The house is situated between 15-40min from everything that we wanted to see in Istria, and with a small and beautiful beach just nearby (6 mins to by car) we did not feel like being “to far away” from everything. We were happy that we had a base a bit away from all the tourists and noise, where our kids could run around and act all crazy without bothering anyone. Second of all Marko and he’s family are just lovely people. Marko was very helpful and replied swiftly to all our questions both before and during our stay. He was also checked in un us (via Airbnb) during our stay, just to make sure everything was alright. It was Markos sister and mother who showed us the house at arrival and said goodbye when we checked out. They were also very helpful, and gave good tips on very to go and what to see. We felt very welcome - it was like borrowing a house from relatives. Last, but not least, Croatia is a beautiful country, with many beautiful beaches and lovely clear blue water. We personally enjoyed the small local beach and the beach at Duga Uvala the most (especially the latter of the two) – but also Premantura and the beach nearby Safari Bar was a fantastic place (if you can cope with many tourists). We drove around a lot, and found many smaller cities both close to and away from the sea that we enjoyed – especially Fazana was fantastic and also Rovinj.     All in all we can very much recommend to visit Croatia and to stay in this lovely house.

We loved the house for the terrace view into the huge garden, for the quiet surroundings and for the cats, that visited every day - for food, of course ;). The garden is also great for watching the stars at night. The house feels comfortable with its old style furniture but modern bathroom and kitchen and is well equipped. Marco's nice familiy came to give us a very warm welcome and provided us with really useful advice concerning for example the best beaches and events. The situation of the house is great for exploring the surroundings, for example Rabac and Pula, because the main road is close. We had a wonderful time here - Marco and family, thank you again!

We had a really good stay at the vacation house of Marco. He and his family gave us a warm welcome. They gave us great white wine as a welcome gift from there own vineyard. The location is near the see, just a view minutes driving. Yet, this beach can't beat the nature park in Pula: bleu water, quiet beaches and beautiful rocks!

We’ve been warmly welcomed by Marko and his sister Maja at Marko’s vacation house. They took the time to gave us the best informations to organize our stay, that helped us a lot ! The house is in a very quiet town and so perfect to relax, we slept very well there. It’s also a good starting point to visit Istria! The house is simple but great, we enjoyed the times spent on the little terrace, and the air conditioning (as we were in the summer) ! Marko and his family (we also met his father) are always available to answer to our questions, they are also motivated to make discover Istria to their guests. We really recommend this house !!

Branko was a really good host. We met in Pula where he invited us to take a beer so he could explain us a lot of things about the jouse and its surroundings. The house was absolutely amazing with a stunning view and a first class swimmingpool. We felt at home in this clean house. I highly recommend this airbnb experience.

Branko is a very welcoming and helpful host. He was very flexible with our arrival and departure times, he helped us set a nice fire in the living room, he suggested a couple of restaurants and walks in the surrounding area, and he even left us a mobile with a Croatian SIM card so we could phone him for free. The little house is set in a quiet end of Rakalj and was perfect for three adults. It has all the amenities from dishwasher to hair dryer and is very comfortable. The garden and the terraces have a nice view and are not too overlooked (the only neighbour being the other holiday let, which was empty at the time of our stay). The only regret we had was that it was too cold to use the swimming pool - we will need to come back! :)

We spent one wonderful, relaxing week in Villa Vickovi. Everything was perfect, the house, pool and surroundings. And Branko was a great host, thank you for everything! :)

If you're searching for a relaxed and restful holiday place, than Branco’s cottage ‚Vickovi‘ in Rakalj is the place to be. The small House gives you all possibilities for relaxing: A barbeque, a first class swimming pool, a garden with terraces, air condition inside, a very well furnished Kitchen and a comfortable double bed (also recommended for large people). In Rakalj is a small Shop which is open the whole day from 7 a.m til 9 p.m. where you can find everything you need for daily requirement. Branco will show you the best beaches and the restaurants in this area (for example (URL HIDDEN) which offers very good pizza and awesome beef and fresh fish food ) and if you need something special, you can drive to the big supermarkets in Pula. We had a wonderful time in this phantastic cottage. Branko was very nice and a perfect host. Thanks for everything.

The host canceled this reservation 348 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.

Everything was exactly as on the pictures - beautiful and very comfortable. Branko was a great host and gave us all the information we needed. We spent a lovely week there and hope to be back one day.

If you are looking for some peace and quiet, beautiful surroundings, lots and lots of hiking opportunities, a nice and clean little house with a fire place and some real Croatian hospitality; this is your spot. Mij sister and I spent a week here in the dead of winter and it was just wonderful! We came by car and arrived around 5 or 6 in the afternoon. We were given a very warm welcome by Branko and his wife and we felt at home immediately. They explained the working of the fireplace, showed us around and told us a little about all the things we could do and places to visit. The house is in Rakalj, a sleepy village near the east coast of Istria. A hike to sea probably takes a half hour up until an hour and a half, depending on which trail you pick. The trails are pretty easy (bring some good shoes though) and the coast and surroundings are just beautiful! You can do a lot of exploring. There is a small pub in the village where you can drink real nice honey liquer (I think it's a Croatian specialty) and sit near the fire place and there is also a little supermarket in Rakalj which is about a 5 minute walk away. We made a lot of nice trips by car to several towns along the west coast. We also visited the beautiful island Cres. There's a ferry for Cres leaving from Brestova every hour or so. Getting to Brestova by car takes a small hour and the route is very scenic. Bring your car to Cres and visit the towns Beli and Cres. A beautiful daytrip! The week was all I expected and more: Istria really took my breath away. If you are not into skiing but like to get away in winter, I really recommend spending a few days or a week here. There's not a lot of tourism going on in winter, so it kinda feels like the whole of Istria is yours :-) Going here in summer is probably wonderful as well though: you still have the peace and quiet, but the more touristic area's are just a little drive away. The pool is wonderful if you have kids and if this house is a little small for your liking: Branko and his wife also rent out a bigger house. You can even rent both if you're a group. Branko and his wife are really really nice people and gave our week the extra spark. They invited us to our home in Pula so we visited them our last evening before leaving. We had a wonderful evening and we talked about a lot of different things. They're just really sweet, warm and wise people and they made sure we had everything we needed this week.

We had a very relaxed time in the appartment. The garden with the pool and BBQ was amazing and Branko gave us very good recommendations for restaurants and beaches. Everything was just as described and we felt very comfortable!

I cannot recommend this villa highly enough. It is in a lovely secluded location with a private pool that is not overlooked at all and it so peaceful and tranquil - just perfect! The hosts were lovely and had prepared lunch for us on arrival and stocked the fridge with essentials (including wine!) and they did everything they could to make us feel welcome. The air conditioning was in all the rooms and kept the house cool during the heat of the day (unlike some places where it is only in the main living room) and there was a lovely seating area outside with a table for sitting and eating. You need a car here to get about since the nearest restaurants are quite a long walk away (but only a few minutes drive in the car), but both local restaurants are excellent and we went back to them several times. If you want a quiet private villa in a secluded location with beautiful scenery then this is the prefect place and we are looking forward to coming back sometime in the future.

We had a wonderful stay in Puntera. The house was lovely and equipped with everything you need! Our hosts were charming and we were given some honey schnapps and local wine. The region of Istria is very charming. The only set back is it takes about 45 minutes to drive to a lot of the sights. Thank you for a lovely stay in your charming village!

Iva and her family were great hosts! They were always prepared to help out, and even offered to fire up the barbecue for us before we came back to the apartment on our last evening. They also treated us with some home made schnapps, vegetables from their garden and home made wine and olive oil. The apartment is settled at the edge of a small village, meaning it is calm and quiet around, which we especially appreciated in the evening, after a whole day of sport activities. The convenient thing is, the village is also close to one of the main roads, so reaching all of our destinations in Istria was easy!

La maison grande et très propre avec des vues fantastiques dans un cadre champêtre très calme Avec hôtes très agréables

Sehr netter und fürsorglicher Empfang. Immer erreichbar bei Problemen und unterstützend mit lokalen Tipps. Sympatisch und unkompliziert!

We had a great time, the accommodation doesn't leave any wishes. We felt quickly at home and the kids loved it too.

People, you must go and stay at that great place! Beautiful comfy house, amazing view, beautiful landscape, great host...

This property is every bit as magical as it appears, if not more so. We were warmly welcomed by our host, Luka, who was helpful in providing tips on how to maximize our visit on the property and in the area. The house itself is lovely and very comfortable with very comfortable seating in the living room and very comfortable beds, too. The heating system worked great (the weather was a bit chilly while we were there), the fireplace was lovely, the outdoor grill was handy, and fun for the kids. There is plenty to do on the property, which is truly beautiful, peaceful and relaxing. Our kids were happy to run around and explore, we all got to play badminton together in the fresh, country air, where there is also a volleyball net set up. You can also play football/soccer and the kids can play in the playground, too. Luka showed us around the rest of the property as well, and we can imagine how amazing the main house must be with its wellness centre. In the summer, the pool looks like it must be a heavenly spot to spend time with the views of the sprawling lush, green countryside and vast, blue sky. Close by is the lovely town of Labin, perfect for exploring and getting a nice taste of history and culture. Then not too far from Labin, is the seaside town of Rabac with plenty of beautiful beaches and more gorgeous landscapes and seascapes to explore and capture. We had great pizza in Labin at Pizzeria Napoli and delicious coffee and sweets at Velo Kafe just across the street. Labin is a colourful town and Rabac has a unique charm to it as well. This area of Istria is very well-situated if you want to have a combination of peace and relaxation with the options of exploring some of Croatia's most beautiful beaches and towns. We would definitely go back again and cannot recommend it enough.

Hallo wir hatten einen tollen, erholsamen Urlaub. Wer die Abgeschiedenheit und die Natur im Urlaub liebt ist hier genau richtig aufgehoben. Der erste Eindruck war einfach umwerfend, die Anlage, das Haus und der Blick. Das weitläufige Areal bietet viele Möglichkeiten. Für unseren Hund war es ein Paradies. Die Räumlichkeiten waren gemütlich und es fehlte an nichts. Wir hatten tolle ruhige Tage im Haus, haben aber auch tolle Touren in die Umgebung gemacht. In Rovinje haben wir Delfine gesehen, Glück gehabt! In Rabac waren wir wandern und schwimmen. Die Gastgeber waren immer für uns zu erreichen und haben haben uns Tipps für unseren Urlaub gegeben. Sonntag morgen ist Luca mit uns zum Markt gefahren und hat uns die besten Händler gezeigt. Wir haben tolles Fleisch aus der Umgebung gekauft und hinterher auf dem Aussengrill fertig gemacht. Ab und zu haben wir abends noch vor dem Grill/Kamin gesessen und ein Glas Wein getrunken. Erholung pur. Vielen Dank an Luka und seine Familie, wir kommen in jedem Fall wieder. Liebe Grüße Rendel, Marcus, Bennet und Hund Jago

Very nice and quite house. Ana and Marko were very helpful and available We recommend! Thank you we will surely come back ;) Un séjour inoubliable. La maison d'Ana est dans un village très calme, c'est une maison avec beaucoup de charme et qui dispose de tout l'équipement nécessaire Notre hôte était disponible et faisait de son mieux pour rendre notre séjour agréable Je recommande vivement et y retournerai surement

Very nice place, house located in small village was very clean and roomy. Host was superb from the beginning. The fridge was stocked with wine, water and beer! Overall we had excellent stay here and we would love to come back. Thank you Ana :)

Il luogo dove si trova la casa è un piccolo paesino lontano circa 4 km dalla spiaggia, ci si può andare tranquillamente a piedi ma è consigliato l'uso della macchina. La spiaggia con ghiaia è piccolina, però è l'ideale per chi cerca la pace e un mare limpido e pulito. La casa è bella e ci offre uno sguardo nel passato del popolo croato, però con un carattere moderno. La consiglio vivamente a chi cerca relax e pace. Essendoci poco inquinamento luminoso, la sera si vedono tante stelle e quindi anche la Via Lattea. Ci sono stati dei problemi con la lavatrice e c'erano degli spazi poco puliti, ma la serenità del posto vi farà dimenticare qualsiasi problema. Voglio ringraziare di cuore Ana e suo fratello per il modo in cui ci hanno accolto in casa, sono stati molto gentili e disponibili. Vi auguro il meglio!!!

It was not our first experience in Istria, but the first one with Josip. He is the type of host you dream of: always available, polite, smiling, suggesting activities and helpful in everything. His Sailor's house is clean, well equipped and in a very good location. It was just perfect for our four-member family. We will definitely recommend it, as we already think about going back there some day.

Nous avons passé un mois dans cette petite maison de Rakalj sur la côte Istrienne. L'endroit est calme et la mer est accessible à pied et en voiture... La maison est bien agréable avec son jardin d'olivier et sa terrasse, nous avons bien profité de l'extérieur. Les soirées sont un peu fraiches en mars mais la cheminée était un vrai plus en fin de journée. L'emplacement n'est pas très central mais il y a beaucoup de balade à faire aux alentours et les villes de la côté ouest de l'Istrie ne sont qu'à 30 minutes de route. Nous avons pu faire le tour des principaux sites de cette péninsule sans soucis.
