Relaxing holiday home!

The house was perfect! Lots of outdoor games, well stocked, amazing projector to watch movies, and perfectly refreshing pool!! The view from the house was nice looking over trees and nature! Very comfortable furnishings on the inside and out, plus the host offered wine upon arrival (a major plus!)!!! Thanks for everything!

Dream vacation!

The house and the location are as described. What you can not describe - it was all shiny clean and well maintained, the kitchen fully equipped, with enough towels, in the bathrooms shower bath and enough toilet paper, etc.. After a week was intermediately cleaned, towels changed and beds remade. As a welcome there was a short tour and 6 (!) Bottles of local wine. The only drawback (but this is due to the portal here) - we had to pay in US dollars and so have paid over 70 € fee for it in addition. Thank you Jasminko - it was a dream vacation and we will definitely be back!

Wir haben mit unseren zwei Hunden einen unvergesslichen Aufenthalt erlebt. Es fehlte uns an nichts!Das Haus als auch das Poolhaus sind sehr stilvoll eingerichtet und laden zum Entspannen ein. Das Grundstück ist vollständig eingezäunt. Somit konnten wir sorglos unsere Hunde herumtollen lassen.Jasminko ist ein äusserst freundlicher Gastgeber und jederzeit für Fragen/Anliegen telefonisch erreichbar. Wir verbringen seit mehreren Jahren Ferien mit Hund an immer wieder neuen Orten und haben schon vieles gesehen/erlebt. Dieses Anwesen und auch die Ausflugsmöglichkeiten gehören mitunter zum Besten.Wir kommen sehr gerne wieder!

Genialer Rückzugsort mit tollem Ambiente

Von Beginn weg hat alles perfekt geklappt. Die hilfsbereite Kommunikation vor der Anreise, das freundschaftliche Check-In und die rasche Beantwortung von Fragen. Das Haus ist praktisch und geschmackvoll eingerichtet und bietet echte Erholung. Fern ab von Nachbarn und störendem Lärm, geniesst man inmitten der Wälder im Schatten des Hauses oder im Pool die Ruhe und Natur. Als zusätzliches Extra möchten wir explizit die Möglichkeit erwähnen, einen Hund mitzunehmen. Unser Herdenschutzhund konnte den ganzen Tag im grosszügigen umzäunten Garten 'auf Wache' sein oder sich auf dem kühlen Steinboden ausruhen. Wir haben die 2 Wochen sehr genossen und sie gingen wie im Flug vorbei. Diverse Möglichkeiten haben wir gar nicht genutzt (Beamer / Playstation/TV), weil die Kids mit Pool und an der Sonne liegen richtig runterfahren konnten. Die Lage in Nähe zu Motovun bietet diverse Ausflugsmöglichkeiten. Kein Muss, aber nice to have ist ein etwas robustes Auto, welches auch mit Schotterpisten klarkommt. Für unseren Landrover war es schlicht das Paradies und wir haben diverse Offroadtouren gefunden. Fazit: Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Jasminko Balenović, owner of the villa. I think that my villa talks more about me.

Why they chose this property

We spent a long time looking for a perfect position for our house, in solitude but close to the Motovun, and not so far from the Istrian coast (30min). Villa represent our understanding of life and relax in nature, with all small stuffs that makes our lives more convenient.

What makes this property unique

We are proud that we preserve all of olives and trees we have found on ground during the building of house, now they give us plenty of natural shadow and discretion. We use solar panels for electricity and water is also heated through solar system.
Long swim season in our pool with electric heater.
Home "open air cinema" easy to use, just need your movies!
