lovely cottage

Review Submitted: June 21, 2009 Date of Stay: May 2009
This was a delightful cottage that lived up to its description. Friendly welcome from knowledgeable owners. Lots of extras, such as washing up liquid, basic foods, maps and guidebooks. Would definitely recommend to another couple.

Our holiday HOME

Mary and Robert Isle of Arran, Scotland.
Review Submitted: June 15, 2009 Date of Stay: August 2008
We found THE LITTLE HOUSE in 2007, having previously stayed in various hotels in Porec since 1999/2000. It proved to be everything Nicky and Phil said it was. PEACEFUL, great location (minutes drive to and from town, but far enough away from the touristy hustle), COMFORTABLE, 1st class accommodation (every need catered for), and the luxury of having use of the SWIMMING POOL (shared only with the owners).
We loved staying at The Little House in '07 and '08 and if work commitments hadn't got in the way, we would have been back in '09. Nicky and Phil are great hosts and are only too willing to give help and advice, or if you prefer, will respect your right to privacy and leave you to do your own thing. We enjoy visiting friends when in Porec and staying at the Little House means we can invite them back, if we choose, and can entertain on our own patio (even the barbecue grill is provided). During the day we can lounge in the sun in any part of our very own garden around the house. If we tire of this, we can go exploring the beautiful countryside or visit some of the interesting historical/cultural places and events, be they near base or further afield. Matulini is a lovely little hammlet and has some interesting and enjoyable walks if you want to stay near home, or just fancy a stroll in the evening. The people in the neighbourhood are very sociable and enjoy passing the time of day with you, however a little knowledge of the Croatian language would be of advantage in some cases!
We will miss not being at the Little house this year and will miss seeing our friends. BUT WE'LL BE BACK.

The perfect vantage point to explore Istria

Jojo2603 Ipswich, Suffolk, UK
Review Submitted: June 9, 2009 Date of Stay: June 2008
We stayed for two weeks in the summer of 2008 in this lovely cottage that sits in a fantastic garden with a large pool, just outside the cottage. It’s got just about everything you could possibly want from a two-person cottage on holiday. A nice cosy feel to the decor (although newly built, it still has that warm and friendly atmosphere to it that you usually find in places with a history to it), a TV/DVD in the comfortable lounge, a kitchen fitted with everything you need, and a remarkably spacious bedroom, given the apparent size from the outside. The bathroom with shower follows the quality standards of the rest of the cottage, with everything neatly fitted and efficiently available. This was the perfect vantage point for us to explore this lovely part of Croatia, with Porec and Rovinj (a must see!) nearby, and on days when we wanted to chill, the pool and little porch provided the perfect setting for a nice “swim and cocktail”. Also nice was having two restaurants with great value food within walking distance.
Owner's Response: I'm afraid things change and we now only have one restaurant within walking distance. However two fantastic new restaurants have now opened a short drive away - you could even walk to one if you felt energetic! There also are masses of others in the neighbourhood.
