Ralf L. from Burggen
always great
We were for the 4th time in this great villa and again spent very nice vacation days. For the children, the pool and for us parents, the peace are simply the perfect combination to escape everyday life. Rino once again left nothing to be desired. We wish him and his family all the best and good health. We will come back, thank you very much!

Croatia over and over again.
We decided for the first time to stay in a holiday home in a rural area, further away from the sea, and now we know we will do it again and again. We were three guests with a child and a dog at Villa Ladonja. From the first moment, we were overwhelmed by the cozy and clean small stone house with the surprisingly large garden with grass and a beautiful pool, but above all by the hospitality of the owners. It was two wonderful weeks, and we have decided that we will come back soon.

Familie R. from 53819 Neunkirchen-Seelscheid
Wonderful!
We spent two great weeks in the beautiful Villa Ladonja with our two dogs! The house is gorgeous, the huge, fully fenced garden with pool is fantastic! Everything is top-maintained! Upon arrival, you find some gifts in the form of beer, wine, homemade schnapps, and eggs from their own chickens in the fridge. On the last evening, there was a snack and another small gift. Great hospitality!!! Furthermore, the house now has a third bedroom with an attached bathroom. We can fully recommend this house if you are looking for peace and relaxation. The surrounding landscape is wonderful for beautiful walks. Shops, restaurants, banks, a petrol station, and even a veterinarian can be found in the town of Zminj, a 10-minute drive away. Thank you for everything, dear Zufic family!
