The property was very comfortable, but would have liked to have 2 twin beds in the second bedroom instead of double as I had two teenagers. The smaller double bed was slightly too small. Mirrors in the bedrooms would be great. Also air conditioning in the living room was great but fans were a must in the bedrooms.
Apart from that the villa was lovely especially around the swimming pool area.
The owner and his family were a delight and very helpful. He gave us lots of information and was very helpful.
I googled villas in Croatia and your site looked the most interesting as you mainly deal with Croatia. I am impressed with the service and suggestions made when I first called up to say that we had never visited Croatia before and gave the budget that we had. Villa Vinisce was perfect for what we wanted.
Impressed with: Loved the weather obviously! The people very friendly and can speak English. Great value for money. The motorways are exceptional. Needed more time to explore the cultural delights of the country
Not impressed with: Don’t think there was anything that we did not like about Croatia!
Recommend: Have to say that we were disappointed with the restaurants in the harbour. But recommend the restaurants in Trogir. La Dalmatia was brilliant. For a great shopping experience in the "cool". The Mall in Split was brilliant!
Favourite villa moment: Favourite villa moments were discovering we had a tortoise in the garden, which we fed every day. Also the fig trees in the garden were overflowing with fruit. The pool was a godsend and a delight
Stayed July/August 2017
Nice house. Really lovely. We had a great time. Beautiful house and pool. People in the bars and restaurants also very friendly. Owner was always happy to help with anything. Could not have been more helpful. Allowed us in early. Very good service. Thanks very much.
Impressed with: Cheap and nice weather.
Not impressed with: No sand on the beaches
Recommend: We ate at each of the four restaurants in the village and all were nice.
Favourite villa moment: Sitting beside the pool in late afternoon relaxing and splashing around.Stayed May/June 2017
Booked because of Price / knowledge of Croatia
Directions by car were very good until the last 1/4 mile. Needs careful look at road signs, to make correct turns etc. (when you know, it's easy)but first time is not so !
Emailing owner is excellent as he responds quickly. However, trying to phone is not so easy. If guest do not have mobile phone or access to wi fi there could be a real problem.
A microwave oven is advisable. (the owner says he will see to that )
There is an outside kitchen which is good (no mention of it in details)
Impressed with: Clarity of sea water, historical sights & recent history...it's people.
Not impressed with: Some locals can be less responsive to visitors but they have undergone troublesome times. Give them time.
Recommend: Excellent position for historical sights. Split, Trogir and Sibenik Mastrinka. Restaurant has been overlooked by others I fear. The food is excellent the service is personal and family oriented. Wine is home grown and made and is exceptional.
Favourite villa moment: The peace and quiet and overlooking a large forest with distant views of the harbour.Stayed September 2016
Villa Comments: Microwave will be added for 2017
I was interested in Stone Villas, more than what AirBnB offered. The decor was very nice, but we found that there was a lot of decor in the kitchen that we had to remove to make room for using the countertops and to make room for the food that we brought. The kitchen lacked a toaster/toaster oven.
The property was advertised with a pool. We visited in March, and the pool was open but it was not heated so not usable. Heated pools should be in properties that are advertised with the pool as a major feature.
Recommend: The local seafood restaurant in Trget (that was mentioned in the description) was excellent! The other restaurant in that town was very overpriced.
Impressed with: The people of Croatia were so nice! The country was lovely, with amazing cities and countryside. Wineries, olive oil and truffles at the markets and Roman ruins.
Favourite villa moment: Use of the fireplace was great!
Stayed March 2018
Croatian Villas Comments: In March the weather in Croatia can be varied and is often hot which is why pools are open at this time. We do offer a range of villas with heated pools which can be found using the Heated Pool filter in the search results.
It was utterly beautiful and exactly what we were looking for. It came with everything we needed and i.e. everything in the kitchen that we needed for cooking. The only issue we had was that 2 of the sun loungers broke within a minute of sitting on them and it was obvious they'd been previously stuck back together (the owner admitted this). This meant two of us were without sun loungers but we were happy lying on the cushions around the pool. This may however, be a problem for other guests. Owner was Extremely helpful and charming
The only minor issues we had was that I needed to contact you to ask for information on directions, what to do on arrival etc. Once I'd had my full payment confirmation, I didn't hear from you and as the holiday approached I was worried we weren't going to. Despite that, when I contacted you Agata was extremely helpful, sending me all the information in a timely manner. It would have been useful to know that a rep was going to be at the airport to meet us - we weren't aware of this and she was wondering around the airport at Pula looking for us. We had booked a car but because this wasn't in my name she couldn't identify us when she did her rounds of the car hire windows. If we'd known to look out for her we would have done this first.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday, it was perfect!
Impressed with: The beautiful weather, lovely people and gorgeous coast line
Not impressed with: Nothing, we loved it all!
Recommend: Martin Pescador in Trget
Favourite villa moment: Lounging around the lovely pool and eating delicious dinners and BBQs on the terrace.Stayed September 2012
The owner was very friendly and extremely helpful. We were very pleasantly surprised by how she welcomed her to our property and the care that she put into the property and making her guests feel welcome. Excellent all round.
Impressed with: Great balance between nature, scenery, beach and entertainment
Not impressed with: Border control was a mess
Recommend: Entertainment in Porec, local restaurant in Klostar great for pork roast.
Stayed July 2017

Colleague at work had used the company. The company was very efficient and organised when we had queries, which was excellent.
The owner met us in Labin and took us to it, which was very helpful. Property was of high quality. The owner was excellent. Very friendly, considerate and helpful. She even left us with gifts of wine and chocolate (for the children) on departure, which was very kind of her.
Impressed with: Very friendly people and the beautiful scenery. Good food and wine.
Not impressed with: There is a lot of construction on the coast, which makes me worry about what the Dalmatian coast will look liken in a decade or so. Very heavy traffic on the coast roads caused a lot of delays
Recommend: In Istria, we loved the amphitheater at Pula, the basilica at Porec and the fortified villages in the centre of the peninsular.
Stayed August 2016
The web photos were a bit misleading. We were expecting a much larger pool and thought there were NO adjacent properties. Neither of these turned out to be a big problem but they were initially very disappointing. The owner/neighbors were very nice and it was too cold to swim much.
I don't think the availability of 6 bikes was listed, and it was GREAT to have them.
Owners and agents were outstanding! Lovely, helpful, relaxed folks. The owners dog was a frequent visitor and a true delight (also VERY well trained, did not even try to get in the house).
Easy web access, great properties, good prices. Thanks! Great, easy vacation
Impressed with: relaxed people, history
Recommend: Our favorite restaurant in Croatia was right around the corner, Puli Pineta. They did a special celebration dinner for us that was wonderful. The caves in Slovenia, Rovinj and Porec, Wine tasting, Bjuni National Park, Pula - all well worth the visit.
Stayed June 2016
While the main house was fully air-conditioned, it was disappointing that the 2 bedrooms in the annexe did not have A/C - units were outside the bedroom areas. The agent was great and helped us find a bakery for birthday cakes, while the owner was unobtrusive and helpful regarding when the pool was cleaned. Extremely helpful service from Croatian Villas agent Katija.
Impressed with: Having been before there were not too many surprises, but Istria was especially nice and not overcrowded, with an excellent road network.
Not impressed with: Nothing - everything was fine
Recommend: Nothing specifically culturally - the cave at Festini - Festinsko kraljevstvo - was nice as were 2 local restaurants - Konoba Puli Pineta and Restoran-Konoba Zminjka
Favourite villa moment: Probably evening meals using the kitchen facilities and barbeque after visiting the market in Rovinj for fresh fish, meat and vegetables.
Stayed July 2015
Good-Excellent. Offering a food 'welcome pack' type service would be really useful - especially for those arriving later on a Sunday, as we were. As mentioned to the agent, there were a few small items not provided in the main property, which would have been nice and just add the finishing touches, e.g. toaster, pegs, spare bin bags. Agent was very friendly and informative, although unfortunately, not all of the information he gave was up to date! We enjoyed the small local cave at Festini, as well as the more obvious attractions in Porec, Pula and Rovinj.
Impressed with: Lovely scenery, interesting towns and friendly people.Stayed June 2012

Impressed with: Cycling in Istria is very good with clearly signed routes to suit all abilities.
Not impressed with: Pula - worth half a day visit for the Ampitheatre otherwise very drab.
Recommend: Pizzaria in Sveti Lorec was good. 5 minute drive, 40 minute walk.
Favourite villa moment: BBQ early evening.Stayed September 2015
Everything was as we expected. We only had two problems, one was the air conditioning which seemed to cool the property very well during the day when we were not in it but at night it appeared to change to 'heating'and so made sleeping very difficult and the other problem was with ants in the kitchen no matter how careful we were to make sure no food was left around. Agent was extremely pleasant and helpful. Owner was also very pleasant when we were leaving
Impressed with: The sunshine and the cleanliness
Not impressed with: We had no complaints about our visit to Croatia
Favourite villa moment: The pool was excellentStayed August 2012
Great pool & fabulous outdoor seating area. Poolside beach towels would have been a bonus. Lack of glasses for wine & soft drinks. Extra pillows would have been useful. Villa lovely but not brilliantly equipped. Local representative was friendly & helpful. Didn't really see the owner as he generally came round when we were still asleep.
Impressed with: Friendly people, beautiful scenery, great seafood & good value for money.
Not impressed with: Struggling to come up with anything negative to say about it to be honest. Not great if you're a big sandy beach fan I guess but we're not.
Recommend: Great pizzeria in sv Lovrec & the seafood restaurants at Limski Kanal are good. Church at Porec worth a visit.
Favourite villa moment: Early evening g & t watching the kids splashing in the pool. We will return to Croatia for sure!Stayed August 2012
