"Beautiful setting. Nice amenities like the swimming pool, cool drive in elevator garage, nice breakfast buffet included in price. "

"The property is located in a small neighborhood below Beram just outside Pazin. Its central location provides easy access to hill towns and seaside areas of Istria as well as day trips to explore Slovenia and Trieste. The property manager lives in the neighborhood and always immediately responded to our questions or assistance requests. We arrived mid-September just as the weather became unseasonably cold. As a result, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very chilly as they are not heated. The property description should state that only the common areas are heated & cooled. While the accommodations are very good we would suggest the following to make renters stay even more comfortable: written instructions for operating kitchen appliances (microwave, stove, dishwasher operation is not self-evident); wifi is weak - install boosters; bedrooms need more clothes hangers in armoires (2 per room insufficient); add clothes hooks in bedrooms particularly in bedroom with only shelves in armour; add towel hooks in bathrooms (1 small hook in each is insufficient); wooden sticks/bars to hold shutters open to prevent banging and closing with the wind. We had numerous wasps in the kitchen - their entry point should be found and closed - the property manager stated that they probably entered when we opened the kitchen door and although we were careful and watched this was not our experience. We hope these suggestions are found to help make an excellent rental even better. "

"Loved Villa Borgo & it’s wonderful staff. Huge thanks to Ada, Jazz & Slavin. ❤️"

"Very nice Villa with all the facilities you'd need. Quiet location off the beaten track. "

"We picked the villa primarily because of it’s location- we like to be in the country slightly but within easy reach of visits to towns/ harbours and beaches etc. The villa was perfect for this- you’ll obviously need a car but it was an easy 30-40 minutes drive to the coastal towns of Pore, Rovinj and Pula. There is a little cafe/ bar and shop 2 mins drive away and big shops and facilities 5 mins away. So it was perfectly located for exploring the beautiful Istrian peninsula. A highlight for us was how friendly and thoughtful the hosts were- they were always attentive to messages and during our stay delivered homemade/ homegrown local produce which was lovely to try! The villa itself is huge - as the photos show, with plenty of space for our family. It has been well equipped and is immaculate. There is so much outside space- with options to eat outside/ relax on balconies or in the garden. The kitchen is modern with everything you could want but we cooked mainly on the outside BBQ which was lovely. "

"Amazing check in. Lovely welcome lots of space, cleaning could be done a bit better but we were happy to clean ourselves. "

"We had a fantastic week at Villa Eda, an immaculate property that exceeded our expectations, apart from the lack of a hand whisk in the kitchen. Despite the heat wave with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s, the efficient air conditioning kept us comfortable. The property’s isolation was perfect for us, although the 10-minute drive on an uneven gravel track requires a car with good suspension. The small pool and outdoor kitchen were wonderful, and collecting fresh eggs from the chickens was a bonus. Eda was a wonderful hostess, and her parting gifts were extremely generous. We highly recommend this dog-friendly villa, though our springer spaniel did manage to escape through the bars in the fencing, which we still find incredible. We would love to return to this wonderful villa. Thank you Eda."

"Loved this place! The owner is fabulous! The bed was super comfortable and tons of hot water. We definitely recommend booking here. Pod Napun is right across the street and the food and view are spectacular! The service was the best we’ve had so far on our travel adventure. "
