Family vacation
We had a lovely family vacation in this cozy holiday home. As a family with two adults and two teenagers, we felt very comfortable from the start – everything just fit for us: the furnishings, the beautiful terrace, the pool, and the quiet surroundings in the small village. The property manager on site was always reachable and the contact was very nice. The communication with the owner was also straightforward, friendly, and always quick. We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend the holiday home at any time!

Wonderful family vacation
We can only agree with the previous very positive reviews.
Everything was perfect from the beginning. We were warmly welcomed by Ms. Kruna. The holiday home fully met our expectations. Lovingly furnished, clean, surrounded by a beautiful garden with a great pool to cool off and swim.
The location in the small village was also perfect for us. The sea and various beaches, e.g.
Porec, Novigrad, Funtana, Fazana,
are about a 10-minute drive away. 15 to 30 minutes easily reachable.
As a family of 4 adults and 1 teenager, we had a great, eventful, but also relaxing vacation and can only recommend the holiday home Mariposo.

Wonderful house for a relaxing holiday
The correspondence for the booking was completely uncomplicated and very friendly. Mr. Geisel responds very quickly! The house is dreamily beautiful. Very well maintained, clean, large, as in the pictures but with brighter rooms. The kitchen is mega equipped, with more than enough of everything. That is really great. The air conditioning helps a lot on hot days. The garden is very cozy. Comfortable seating area with cushions and protective covers, loungers by the pool... wonderful. That the countless mosquitoes liked us very much, Mr. Geisel can do nothing about. All the windows have fly screens. The coffee machine is perfect for beans and ground coffee. Best to bring from home, very expensive in Croatia. The cozy couch, the large dining table... there is nothing to complain about. Kruna is very friendly and helpful. It's nice that she exists. So, we can only recommend this house and would come back next summer if it weren't already booked :(

Family vacation
It was a very nice vacation, we felt at home. The house is lovingly furnished, you have everything you need. We also received the detailed household book with all the information you need. The housekeeper Kruna also offered us help if we had questions. Everything is easily accessible nearby by car. We drove home with tears in our eyes.

Istria away from the tourist crowds
If you are looking for a place away from the hotel complexes and camping sites, then this is the right place for you. Situated at the edge of a small village, it offers various beaches within 5-10 km and a spotlessly clean house for relaxation. The central location also allows for exploration on the mainland - in that respect, it's 5 stars... R. Müller
