    Villa Elena is a fantastic Villa! The seven of us rented this Villa for 1 week, and had a great time visiting the surrounding coastal towns like Porec, Novigrad, Rovinj, and Pula. The medieval town of Motovun is wonderful with the nearby caves! The Villa has large rooms for us to gather in the dinning room, tv room, and outdoors by the pool! It is tastefully decorated, clean, and very comfortable. Everything was provided for most of what we needed. Ivan communicated very well with us before we checked in and during our stay for any questions or concerns, and took care of it instantly! Valentina from Away to Croatia has helped tremendously in securing our reservation for this Villa. She responded quickly and helped with changes we made for this reservation even with our 9 hours time difference from the US! We would definitely stay in this Villa again in our future travels if we decide to be in this very nice area of Istria! We recommend this Villa very highly!:

    Villa Elena ist luxuriös, traditionell, sauber und in der Nähe von wunderschönen istrischen Orten. Am besten hat uns gefallen, dass wir allein sind und trotzdem in der Nähe von allem waren. Die Villa ist perfekt; ausgestattet, komfortabel und der Besitzer ist immer da, wenn er gebraucht wird. Danke!
