Very nice villa. The pool and outdoor area is very nice. I would come back another time, if I was going to Umag again. S. (the host) was very friendly and check in/out went very smooth. There was no umbrellas to give shade, while laying on the sunbeds, which we missed. In addition we missed having cushions for the sunbeds. The location of the villa is very private and nice, just next to a forrest. There are quite a lot mosquitos - but nothing that a spray can't handle.

If we could give this home more than 5 stars we would. Our family of 6 made this home our base for exploring Istria in early June. We couldn't have chosen a better home and as we travelled through central Europe over 5 weeks the home in Umag was the family favorite and the standard by which all other homes were judged. The owner (who speaks Croatian and German) and his son Stefan (speaks fluent English) are kind, helpful and very thoughtful (even bringing a birthday present for our daughter who turned 10 while we were at the home, and gave my wife a very sweet parting gift). The house is a bit hard to find at first but the owner drove out to meet us and led us in. There are multiple small and large grocery stores within 5-10 minutes drive (you must have a car, this is a very quiet and small residential area on the outskirts of Umag). There is a beach within a 15 min jog which we went to a few times to splash around. We made easy day trips to Trieste, Pula, Funtana, etc. all were very convenient to get to from the home. The home has a large secured parking area for multiple cars, an amazing pool and deck with BBQ grill and plenty of places to lounge around or even play badminton or soccer. The home is brand new (it feels like we were the first ones to ever stay there!) and has high end windows/doors/appliances etc. If you are planning on visiting Istria there is no where else that I would stay than here. Can't wait to go back to this great vacation rental.
