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.

Beautiful cottage in scenic surroundings
The cottage is an absolute gem, in a very scenic landscape. The house, pool and garden has all the facilities you need, and is very well maintained. Brigita is the best host we have ever visited, and we will be back again. A lovely place to relax and enjoy the surroundings. 5 stars are not enough!

This is a wonderful house in such a peaceful spot with lovely mountain views. The house was well-equipped and beautifully renovated. We especially enjoyed the pool. Thank you Brigita for the fresh produce, and your very own olive oil and wine. What a special touch!

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.

Gorgeous villa in peaceful location
Brigita and her family are amazing hosts, regularly leaving baskets of fruit, veg & salad, bottles of wine & grappa, jam & even cheesecake! The villa is immaculate and very peaceful. It might be a bit off the beaten track for some, but we travelled to both East & West coasts of Istria in less than hour. There were lovely hilltop towns to visit, beautiful scenery, and very quiet roads. The villa's pool (8x4) was super, & cleaned every other day. Brigita was quickly available via Whatsapp to answer any queries. The villa is in a quiet inland area of Istria, but it was very easy to travel to more touristy parts. Thanks for a fantastic 2 weeks!

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!

Ein wunderschöner Urlaub
Wir waren 14 Tage in diesem Ferienhaus. Im Haus fehlte es an nichts. Sehr sauber und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet, genauso die Außenanlage. Unsere Gastgeberin Brigita hat dem ganzen noch die Krone aufgesetzt. Volles Verwöhnprogramm mit Wein, Gemüsekorb, Olivenöl und Kuchen. Und gab es Fragen, kam sehr schnell eine Antwort. Wir würden auf alle Fälle wieder hinfahren. Erholen und Entspannen - dann Villa EL!!

Erholung pur
Wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Es wurde mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und es fehlte an nichts. Alles ist sehr sauber! In Wirklichkeit sieht es noch viel schöner aus, als man auf den Bildern sehen kann. Nach jedem Ausflug haben wir uns darauf gefreut, den Garten zu genießen, uns im Pool zu erfrischen und mit einem Glas Wein auf der Terrasse zu sitzen. Zudem ist Brigita eine sehr nette Vermieterin. Sie hat uns mit Gemüse aus dem eigenen Garten, frischen Eiern, einer Torte, Öl und Weinen aus der Region verwöhnt. Dafür nochmals vielen Dank! Wir kommen gerne wieder!

Highly recommended
The house was extremely clean and fully equipped. In the kitchen has lacked nothing. Even a basket with self-harvested vegetables and fresh eggs was given to us as a welcome. Brigita was incredibly nice and explained everything to us calmly and patiently. In between, the garbage was disposed of and the pool was cleaned. We felt very comfortable and enjoyed our stay very much.
