Sehr schönes Ferienhaus in Kroatien,ausgestattet mit allem was man für einen entspannten Urlaub braucht.Eingerichtet wie aus dem Katalog "Schöner Wohnen". Ein echt großes Grundstück,komplett eingezäunt und für niemanden einsehbar! Sehr schöner großer Pool und Sonnenliegen,Sonnenschirme usw. eben alles was man braucht! Haben auch gegrillt auf dem schönen Grill (Tip: Fisch aus dem riesigen Fischmarkt in Pula kaufen). Einen ganz kleinen Schönheitsfehler haben wir selbst behoben ,es war nur eine ganz kleine Kaffeemaschine da.Wir haben jetzt eine größere gekauft und dort gelassen für alle Filterkaffee-Fans.
Die Entfernungsangabe Ferienhaus bis Rovinj ist mit 3km sehr optimistisch gehalten.Das Ortseingangsschild steht in 3km Entfernung ,aber das Leben tobt in Rovinj erst in einer Entfernung von ca.5km.Dies sollte aber niemanden abschrecken,denn es steht ja auch schon in der Hausbeschreibung,daß ein Auto benötigt wird. Und Rovinj ist so schön,da läuft man sogar zu Fuß gerne hin!!
Vielen Dank noch einmal an den Vermieter! Und viele Grüße aus Magdeburg!!
Wir kommen ganz bestimmt einmal wieder in Ihr schönes Haus!
The house is very nice and so is the property. It is large (actually too large for our group) and not far from the city centre (about 15 - 20 min walking distance and taxi's are not expensive) so you can go there without a car. By the pool there is also a small kitchen which is really nice. The downside was that we couldn't get the barbecue to work (there was something wrong with the chimney). The room with the pool table and the dartboard is also really nice!
The layout is not very clearly explained on the website: There is a "main house" with 2 bedrooms, a kitchen & living space and a bathroom downstairs, and an almost exact copy of that on the first floor. Then there are 4 other 1-bedroom appartments (also with a bathroom, kitchen and living space) which are not connected to the main house. The room with the pooltable is next to the garages, so also not connected to the main house (the garages are for private use, they don't come with the house). Behind that there is a garden with swimming pool, outside kitchen and barbecue.
However there is some room for improvement. The house has a lot of small defects: windows that don't open/close correctly, sockets hanging loose, shower holders hanging loose, doorknobs and toilet seats that come off, most of the lights in the garden are broken etc. These are little things that didn't really bother us, but it could be easily fixed.
There were a few things that did bother us:
- The wifi barely worked. The signal was always very bad and we had to reset is several times a day because the connection would fail.
- There was only 1 small pan (for 7 kitchens!) and it was severely damaged. Certainly if it is advertised as suitable to stay with 20 persons you will need more than that. There also were no can-openers and no oven mitts. Overall there was a lack in cooking utensils, and we were only a group of 8 people.
- Some of the things that are advertised are not there: they do not replace the towels in the middle of the week, you don't get a welcome package, and the "fitness room" is just a hometrainer (but that's pretty obvious in the pictures).
The owners live right next to the house and can pop up at any time without notifying first. They also barely speak any English (but they try!) One tip: if you notice anything is broken when you arrive, immediately point this out to the owners; we almost got charged for a broken chair at the pool that we didn't break.
Overall we had a nice stay!
