Wonderful villa and a warm welcoming host. They gifted us homemade wine and olive oil on our arrival, and even made a cheesecake. Rooms were clean and a good size and having a washer was a very big plus for us in the middle of our trip. Some of the roads getting there are a bit tight, but that is to be expected in Istria. Buzet is within 15 minutes for groceries, shopping and dining, so it made an excellent base for our Istrian adventures.

Lovely holiday

We had a fantastic stay in Brigita’s property. The house was beautiful, very well-maintained and had lots of pots, pans and crockery etc so we could cook at home. The village and surrounding countryside was beautiful and there was a great restaurant in the nearby village where we were well looked after. Thanks Brigita for the great stay, wine, olive oil and birthday cake!

Wonderful home and host

Brigita has a lovely home and is an outstanding host. The home is located in a gorgeous and peaceful setting. You can see the true craftsmanship and attention to detail throughout the home. It was everything we could have hoped for. Brigita was wonderfully accommodating and prompt with all communications and went out of her way to meet us after a long drive in.

Immaculate holiday house in the Istrian hills

The property and the hospitality of the owner, Brigita was beyond our expectations and above all previous holiday experiences. The house and kitchen was thoroughly kitted out and attractively done. Pool - perfect for family fun and superbly clean. The surrounding landscape inviting for strolls amongst olive trees, vineyards and orchards. Brigita and family deserve special mention for the care they took in maintaining the property (very discreet) and their generosity in making us feel at home.

Relaxing stay in Majeri

The house looks exactly as shown on the pictures. It is located a bit outside our Buzet in a small village in the mountains. We enjoyed the landscape, house and the food in Istria. We would like to say special thanks to our landlord Brigitta who was very nice and surprised us with some nice cakes, desserts. Overall, we enjoyed very much our stay and would like to thank Brigitta For her hospitality. We will definitely come back.

Amazing

A beautiful,quiet,relaxing area. Home is very clean and comfortable. Host goes out of her way to be helpful and we were delighted with the cake and produce. Fresh figs is not something we get easily in Ohio. The little village is quiet with a very close little restaurant that was excellent. Drive to multiple towns within Istria and returned to such a lovely place with several close restaurants. We loved it.

Exceptional

Exceptional property - very spacious, very clean, felt we were the first people staying there. Excellent facilities and they all worked.  Property had a premium feel. Recommendations - reserve table on the small terrace at the local in restaurent as Sovinjak, 30 min walk. Pula - better shopping than Porec and Piran and not as touristy. Better all round I thought. Treated to wine and Olive oil from Brigita as well as loads of veg - our host was very attentive. Area very quiet and tranquel.

A memorable holiday in the countryside Villa EL!

The Villa EL is situated on a hillside village Majeri - a 10 min drive from down-town Buzet. The house offered spaces for everyone of our family: one loved the fire-place, the other the pool-side (we would have loved to have warmer days to have had more of the pool), the next one the beautiful nature to jog around and so on. The host Brigita was very warm and greeted us with the traditional easter cake and wine from their own vineyard. Out evenings were just perfect with the wine by the fire-place. The house is tastefully furnished with attention to details. During our stay, we had the chance to meet with additional members of Brigita's family that were just as warm and generous. Brigita's sister-in-law who was visiting offered the fresh salad that her Mother had just cut from the garden, on knowing we were vegetarians:-) Thank you!

Beautiful place to relax

This renovated old natural stone house is very beautiful and offers sufficient space for a family with 3 children. The house's appliances/equipment are modern and everything needed is available and in good working condition. The air condition is a bit special though and it takes a little while to get used to how it functions. But it cools reasonably well. The house is tastefully furnished, with care for details. The children enjoyed the swimming pool a lot. The house is located in a very beautiful, scenic landscape. The location is very quiet and perfect to relax and to take a break from a stressful work life. There are many beautiful little villages to visit in the area (15-30 min. to reach by car). It takes about 45 min. to 1h to drive to the coast. The landlord, Mme Brigita, is a lovely, caring and responsive lady. It is very easy to communicate with her and she was always available to provide any assistance. We will always keep fond memories of our stay in her house and will certainly come back at some beautiful time in the future!

Eine wunderschöne Unterkunft gepaart mit toller Gastfreundschaft, wir waren begeistert! Das Haus ist toll ausgestattet, die Küche hat alles an Gerätschaften, die man benötigt und stellt zudem vieles zur Verfügung, wie Kaffee, Tee, Gewürze, Spülmaschinentaps, usw. Zudem hatten wir Handtücher für drinnen und draußen im Überfluss und mehrmals einen vollen Korb mit frischem Gemüse, Eiern, Salat und einmal sogar einen Kuchen. Eine uneingeschränkte Weiterempfehlung, wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.
