Exceptional!
Everything, the location, the decoration, the comfort, the equipment inside and outside, the warm welcome with attention to detail—simply go there with your eyes closed.

Filip

Serbia

The perfect place for a year-round stay with family and friends!
The house was large and spacious. It’s a 100-year-old traditional home with so many little details from the past, yet still modern and beautiful. The kitchen is fully equipped, the beds are comfortable, the bathroom is new and perfect. The courtyard is wonderful for spending a sunny day outdoors and enjoying nature and tranquility. The Koper harbor and sea are visible from around the house. The proximity to Trieste, Venice, Koper, Piran… offers plenty of opportunities for vacation travel, knowing you’ll return to this beautiful gem. The hosts were amazing! Very polite, provided lots of information about the house and the surroundings, and were very responsive to our messages. We are so glad we had the chance to meet them and spend time in their ancestors’ former home. Can’t wait to return!
