Magnifique

Nous avons été enchantés par la propriété et toute la nature qui l'entoure. Nous étions 10 adultes et nous avions tout l'espace nécessaire pour notre tranquillité. L'annonce correspond à la réalité. Notre hôte nous accueilli autour d'un verre de vin et a été de bon conseil pour notre séjour et merci John de nous avoir indiqué le restaurant Isabella ☺️ de très belles vacances !

Tolles Haus in ruhiger Lage

Das Ferienhaus ist wunderbar gelegen, etwas abseits mit traumhaften Blick ins Tal, verkehrtechnisch aber super zu erreichen. Die Umgebung lädt zu zahlreichen Aktionen ein. Die Eigentümer sind nett und freundlich, alles bestens. Vielen Dank!

Wir kommen wieder!!!

Die Villa war über 11 Tage unser Zuhause. Wir haben uns von Anfang an sehr wohl gefühlt. Nicht nur wegen der großzügigen und trotzdem gemütlichen Räume, sondern auch durch den herzlichen Empfang unseres freundlichen Vermieters John. Das Haus ist toll gelegen: Ca. hundert Meter vom schönen Dorf entfernt im Wald mit tollem Blick in die umliegende Natur. Außerdem liegt der Ort zentral zwischen den Adriaküsten Italiens, Sloweniens und Kroatiens. Man ist also ruchzuck am Meer! Am besten haben uns die wunderschöne slowenische Altstadt Piran und die kroatische Küstenstadt Opatija gefallen. In beiden Orten kann man direkt baden, shoppen und Kultur etc. verbinden. Highlights unseres Hauses sind natürlich der großzügige Pool und Tischtennis- und Billardplatte… Auch die Küche ist sehr gut ausgestattet. Es hat uns wirklich sehr gefallen, wir hatten viel Spaß und wir konnten richtig runterfahren. Vielen Dank lieber John und bis zum nächsten Mal. VG Katrin

Villa Anton

The villa is beautiful in a relaxing, private location. The photos dont do it justice its much better in real life. Its well equipped and has plenty to keep both adults and children occupied. The pool is amazing, it's clean, well laid out and perfect for children and adults. There was 8 in our group and plenty of space in the pool and villa. Lovely clean house and gardens with an outdoor barbecue area for outdoor cooking and eating. 4 ensuite shower rooms and 1 large bathroom suppoted everyone's needs. We had the most wonderful time. The hosts were contactable but respected our privacy. It was very hot during our visit with temperatures of 35 degrees plus. The only downside was the upstairs was hot at night. I would recommend to anyone looking for a large well equipped villa with a pool. I'd love to return sometime. Thank you John and Veronika we loved pur stay and were sorry to leave.

Belle découverte de la Slovenie dans un endroit calme et vert à proximité de points touristiques.

Nous avons vivement apprécié notre séjour. L'accueil et l'échange avec John ont été assez exceptionnels. Pour ceux qui aime le calme et la nature, c'est vraiment bien ! La piscine et la propriété sont vraiment agréables. La maison également, John l'a équipé de différentes activités (billard, ping pong, fléchettes) qui contribuent à rendre le séjour convivial et agréable avec des ados et/ou des amis. Je recommande.

Ideal holiday in Slovenia - Villa Anton makes the difference.

Since the first glance we have been impressed by the quiet surroundings & a nice view from the house' perspective. We liked a lot conversations with John (the owner) who understood very well what holiday time & relax really meant and how it should be organized. The house was clean and fully equiped. On top there were useful things for fun (especially for kids) e.g. table tenis, snooker, darts, etc. And the swimming pool & area met our expectations as well. Generally the location of the house was ideal to visit Slovenia as well as Italy (Triest) and the Northern Croatia. Almost all the places were not far from the Villa Anton (max 2 hours of driving). It is also worth mentioning that people from the neighborhood (Hrusica village) were very friendly and open. It also made positive difference! So to make long story short - thank you John for such good place for relax and nice conversations as well. All 3 families can say: Villa Anton - 100% recommendation.
