Charmante maison de campagne avec la piscine

Well, where do I start.......

Let’s start with Branimir.

He met us at the airport on Saturday 15th September just after 8pm and waited whilst my husband, Andy, sorted out our hire car, which took us until gone 9pm.

Then he took us to a supermarket so we could buy provisions for the first few days. He had a few bits to buy for himself but he mostly waited in his car for us to finish.

Then he led us to the beautiful countryside house which was to be our home for the next 10 days.

Even though it was extremely late by now he said it was his pleasure.

He was so kind and helpful and the pride he took in showing us around his wonderful house was evident in his face and his words.

The house was huge and welcoming and even though we had seen the pictures on the website, seeing it in person took our breaths away.

Everything was so clean, from the kitchen to the bedrooms. We chose the attic room as it was bright and airy and SO big but also had a real cosy, romantic feeling to it.

We had the best nights sleeps there.

Each bedroom has its own bathroom and there is also another one downstairs. This room also has a washing machine plus storage shelving with everything from sun cream to cleaning products! Everything is provided.

The front garden is huge with a massive conker tree (which we enjoyed collecting ) and seating for over 8 people.

Then the back garden....... so quiet and private with the beautiful pool.

There was nothing we could fault.

This holiday for us was all about rest & relaxing and peace & quiet and spending time together, but it was also our first visit to Croatia.

So we did venture out of the house a few times.

Rivinj. What a beautiful town. You must go! And when you do you need to find The Mediterraneaneo Bar by the water. That’s all I will say.

Pula is also a beautiful place to visit.

So yes we had a wonderful holiday. Made friends with a cute dog who would visit most days and also had a surprise visit to our back gate by a bull!

Think he may have been called Bruno......

Would we recommend this house? Yes!

Would we go back? Yes!

Should you go and stay there? Yes!

We totally fell in love with our little piece of Croatian paradise.

Oh and thank you again Branimir for our gift from you of the olive oil made by your cousin. Such a thoughtful present. Andy cannot wait to try it.

Wer Ruhe sucht ist hier genau richtig. Wer das hektische Leben einer Stadt oder den Rummel einer Küstenstadt sucht ist hier falsch. Das rustikal aber zweckmäßig eingerichtete alte und zum Ferienhaus umgebaute Bauernhaus bietet 2 eingezäunte Gärten mit altem Baumbestand und im hinter dem Haus gelegenen Garten einen wunderschönen und bestens gepflegten Pool. Die Inneneinrichtung ist zweckmässig und sauber und vintage.Sollten sie den Komfort einer 5 Sterne All-inclusive Anlage suchen- Fehlanzeige - aber es ist alles da was man braucht um einen erholsamen Urlaub zu verbringen. Es gibt nur 4 oder 5 Nachbarbauernhöfe in der kleinen Gemeinde und sonst nichts, aber wir hatten sogar einmal eine Schüssel frischer Tomaten auf dem Tisch der wunderbaren, von Wein beschatteten Terasse, liegen. Niemand weiss woher. Die nächste Einkaufsmöglichkeit oder das nächste Restaurant ist allerdings ca. 5 Kilometer entfernt und zum Meer sind es fast 20 Kilometer. Wir waren 3 Erwachsene und 1 Hund und haben den Aufenthalt sehr sehr genossen.

Der Besitzer des Ferienhauses lebt ca. 25 Minuten entfernt in Porec und war sehr hilfsbereit,nett und engagiert. Bei Problemen war er in kürzester Zeit da.

Lovely place, quiet, secluded and beautiful. Not only that, but this place is in Branimir Cervar's blood. The house and village is tied to his family's history, which is important.

Branimir himself is very friendly and works incredibly hard to ensure your visit is enjoyable. The facilities are excellent, the area is rich in wildlife and so peaceful - the pool is very welcome on those hot days in summer, with gentle shade provided by the surrounding oak trees.

If you want a quiet base from which to explore Istria, then look no further...

We were staying with 4 Grownups, 2 Teenagers and 2 big dogs. There was more than enough space for all of us. We were welcomed warmly. Everything was really clean and we got a short introduction of the house. When we ran out of Gas it was replaced within half an hour. We just had a few wishes in our 2 week stay, and all of them were satisfied in shortest time. The pool and the house are great and you find everything you possibly need; BBQ, Espresso Machine, Games, Disc - Player... You can reach beautiful cities, beaches, restaurants and shops within a max of 20 Minutes. For us it was a fantastic and unforgettable experience

Sehr gepflegt und romantisch, leider war das tägliche nächtliche Hundegebell störend!!!
