Secluded wonderful Villa, 50m2 pool, perfect for families and large groups

This is a wonderful property to relax with a large group of family or friends. Eugen was a wonderful host and easily contactable. We were touched by the gifts we were given (including delicious wine and cake!). The property was clean, well kept and contained everything we needed for our stay. Eugen was also happy to provide restaurant recommendations.There are lots of activities within driving distance including zip lines, kayaking and caves and it was great to come back and relax by the pool after an adventurous day. We thoroughly recommend!

The villa is just perfect. Super nice and helpful host. Really spacious outdoor area. The kitchen is very well equipped. Tasteful interior. Clean and big pool. Every bedroom has its own bathroom. Supermarket is 5 Min away. Couldn't have asked for more!

This was the ideal home to spend a week with five young families. The house layout enabled everyone to have the space they needed and the outdoor eating/sitting/games area is adjacent to the kitchen and overlooks the pool -which was the ideal size, crucially with no sides, so children could be 'left to it', but watched from the dinner table. Super place 40mins or so from the coast, the waterfall in Pazin is well worth a morning visit, as are some of the traditional coastal towns, or just stay put at the villa. There's plenty to do and lots of space to relax.

We are an extended family of 18 (aged 8-73 years) who visited Pazin so that we could connect with family who live locally and to visit our father’s birthplace. Villa Dolores was the perfect location with bedrooms & bathrooms for all, a well equipped kitchen and laundry, as well as fabulous inside and outside areas. We had a reunion lunch with 50 people and we all fit in the outside area without issue. The kids loved swimming in the pool, grass for football, table tennis and pool table. Villa Dolores is even better than the pictures show. We cannot recommend highly enough!

We were a group of 13 (5 adults and 8 kids 10-15 years) staying the last week of June. The house is big with a lot of bedrooms (in fact we missed one of them that was found a couple of hours into day one by our children) allowing everyone who wants to have their own space. Rooms are clean and nice and each have their own bathroom/shower/toilet. Even though everyone have their own room you always feel together as a group because of the fantastic covered patio by the pool. It might not be obvious from the pictures but this area is huge with both a very large dining table AND sofas/benches AND pool table AND table tennis. This allows everyone to be able to socialize even though some wants to swim in the pool, some want to be in the sun, others need to stay away from the sun and yet others just want to drink coffee and read? I cannot tell how unique this area really is but we have spent many summers in Italy in large houses with pool areas but never ever have we experienced such a great “socializing area” as this. Very conveniently there is also a toilet out here (meaning no wet footprints through the house?). The pool is nice, small yet big enough to fit all the kids and some adults playing. Garden is large, beautiful and hosts a badminton/volleyball net. The host are wonderful and helped us immediately whenever we had questions or needed help. The location of the house is perfect for excursions to Porec, Rovinj, Pula. Our warmest recommendations, we’d love to come back!!

We arrived at the villa late and Eugen and Dolores were there to greet us with some wine, cakes and watermelon. They are a lovely couple. Straight away we all felt at home and comfortable. The Villa was perfect for us as the outside area was large with pool table and table tennis. The teenagers had one end and adults had the other end. We made large meals and sat at the long table lit by candles. In the evening the swallows would swoop down and drink from the pool. It was beautiful countryside and very peaceful. There was 2 supermarkets and petrol stations 5 min drive, Some good restaurants nearby - try Pepperone for the ribs. Quad biking, horse riding, zip line, water park, caving - so much to do. We drove to the towns of Porec and Rovinj highly recommend. Take water shoes as beaches are shingle. Would recommend highly - the villa is perfect for large groups and Eugen and Dolores were the perfect hosts.

We had such a great week at this special place. 5 families went to celebrate our birthdays and the property was even nicer than the photos. It was perfect and the hosts kind and helpful. Thank you so much

A beautiful place with lovely bathrooms.. excellent kitchen .. all modern conveniences within a fabulous rural setting…. with equally fabulous places to visit by the sea, hilltop towns…and great adventure challenges… and such a lovely host and hostess.. the coup de grace was the swimming pool …

We met up to celebrate a birthday - 10 adults, 11 children (6-16 years old) and two dogs - and had a great week.

The house is huge, well furnished and equipped with all you need. Everything was clean, the pool and barbecue place a true bliss. Supermarkets, Pazin and the beach in Rovinj are easy to reach. Thanks again to Mateo and his family for being such great hosts, the delicious cake and the red wine. Hope we can return next year!
