Avis Villa Aurora in Livade

La maison se trouve dans un village appeler Livade. Une très belle vue sur Motovun. La maison belle, propre et bien entretenue. Les propriétaires nous ont accueilli les bras ouvert, serviable et aux petits soins.( merci pour le cadeau d‘anniversaire Adrian et Karmela). La piscine en hauteur splendide. Nous recommandons et reviendrons très certainement.

Very nice. Beautiful place

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay - just outside the husstle and bustle of touristy attractions. The area is so peaceful, and the accommodation was just perfect for us. Karmela could not have done any more to make our stay perfect. Thank you so much - we will certainly be back.

We spent a relaxing week in this idyllic house. A strong recommendation for everyone who values their own peace

Zeer mooie vakantiewoning, met smaak gemoderniseerd, geweldig zwembad hoger gelegen tussen het groen met uizicht

Denne feriebolig levede fuld ud op til vores forventninger. Vil man have privatliv, er det denne feriebolig man skal vælge. Meget smukke omgivelser, venlig og imødekommende værter. Ikke sidste gang vil tager, dertil. Mvh Familien Helsing

We had a great holiday in this very comfortable stone house with its very high quality of renovation, and very well maintained pool. It is one of around six properties in a quiet hamlet, clustered around a single track road that stops after the house. The views over the hills and to Motovun are magnificent. The owners were very helpful, friendly and provided local information at meet and greet time and at drop off of fresh linen and towels. We came to really love the quirky stone house and especially the pool which is very private, not overlooked and usually quiet and peaceful. It is a few kilometres down the single track road to Livade which has three restaurants and a little shop. Apparently the village is busy during the day with truffle tourists, but in June/July we found it could be almost deserted in the evening (and apart from Truffle Festival time in Sept when it is said to be rammed). About 20 minutes by car to swim at Novigrad which has the usual Istrian concrete and rocks beach but walkways out into the lovely clear and warm sea and plenty of restaurants. It wasn't busy there in June/July but said to be very busy in August when schools are broken up. We really enjoyed our stay and had a fabulous holiday, but would offer some points to consider. On the other side of the track, directly opposite your lovely outside covered table area is the owner's second rental property. You therefore have near neighbours with their pool at the front of the house. This may be important to you if you are seeking isolation and dead quiet. There are 52 steep steps up to the pool behind the house (the stone steps shown in the photos) which means you are away from the neighbours and have a great view but you will need good knees!! There was occasional noise poolside from the neighbours renovation work but generally lovely and peaceful. (There are wasps a plenty drinking at the pool but they do not bother you at all.). The upstairs bedroom has lovely but low wooden beams and as am tall chose other bedroom. This is very cool set into the rock under the main house. It can only be reached by walking along the track to the bedroom door as there is no internal house access. This was a quirk we loved - there is no traffic - but may be a consideration. Only other trivial point was that there is no proper toaster!

We enjoyed our stay in Villa Aurora very much. The house is situated at the end of a small road, very romantic on a terraced land with quite a big pool. From up there you have a wonderful view to Motovun. You have places in the shadow and in the sun - whatever you like. The kitchen was fully equipped, the rooms nice and clean. The washing machine was helpful since we travelled with children. Our communication with Adrian & Karmela was very good, they responded quickly and gave tipps for getting around. They have a telescope in the house and so we could enjoy watching the stars during the night. This is definitely a house to come back to and spend another holiday!

Das alte istrische Haus ist klein, aber fein. Es wurde sehr liebevoll gestaltet und es fehlte uns an Nichts. Das Besondere aber ist, dass die verschiedenen Nutzflächen, wie der Grillplatz und der absolut einzigartige Pool auf verschiedenen Ebenen zu finden sind. Dazwischen wandelt man durch einen einzigartigen Kräutergarten mit Büschen und Bäumen. Traumhaft! Man ist absolut ungestört, obwohl in Sichtweite ( von dichten Büschen begrenzt) das nächste Haus steht. Die Poolterrasse ist nicht einsehbar und dahinter beginnt der Wald. Schöner kann man nicht wohnen. Aber wunderschön ist auch der Blick auf Motovun. Die Vermieter sind sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit und sehr diskret. Zum Empfang gab es sogar selbst gebackenen Kuchen, Obst, Saft und Wein.

Es gibt nichts zu bemängeln. Super Lage, super ruhig, in 25 Minuten am Meer. Tolle Radtourmöglichkeiten auf einsamen gut ausgebauten Straßen.
