Independent hotels in Central Istria, Istria County

"Excellent property with exceptional views from room and terrace. Nice breakfast included in price. Friendly manager and staff. Well worth staying here if you’re heading to Motovun "

"Staying in Motovun is a wonderful experience. The history, beauty, and pleasant people make it magical. The hotel sits at the very top of the hill. You have to leave your car at the specified parking lot and walk up. However, after you check in they will provide you with transportation to retrieve your luggage from your car so you don’t have to carry it up the hill. "

"Great place. Highly recommended"

"Amazing property - clean, comfortable and great host"

"The property is located in a small neighborhood below Beram just outside Pazin. Its central location provides easy access to hill towns and seaside areas of Istria as well as day trips to explore Slovenia and Trieste. The property manager lives in the neighborhood and always immediately responded to our questions or assistance requests. We arrived mid-September just as the weather became unseasonably cold. As a result, the bedrooms and bathrooms were very chilly as they are not heated. The property description should state that only the common areas are heated & cooled. While the accommodations are very good we would suggest the following to make renters stay even more comfortable: written instructions for operating kitchen appliances (microwave, stove, dishwasher operation is not self-evident); wifi is weak - install boosters; bedrooms need more clothes hangers in armoires (2 per room insufficient); add clothes hooks in bedrooms particularly in bedroom with only shelves in armour; add towel hooks in bathrooms (1 small hook in each is insufficient); wooden sticks/bars to hold shutters open to prevent banging and closing with the wind. We had numerous wasps in the kitchen - their entry point should be found and closed - the property manager stated that they probably entered when we opened the kitchen door and although we were careful and watched this was not our experience. We hope these suggestions are found to help make an excellent rental even better. "

"Amazing check in. Lovely welcome lots of space, cleaning could be done a bit better but we were happy to clean ourselves. "

"We had a fantastic week at Villa Eda, an immaculate property that exceeded our expectations, apart from the lack of a hand whisk in the kitchen. Despite the heat wave with temperatures in the high 30s to low 40s, the efficient air conditioning kept us comfortable. The property’s isolation was perfect for us, although the 10-minute drive on an uneven gravel track requires a car with good suspension. The small pool and outdoor kitchen were wonderful, and collecting fresh eggs from the chickens was a bonus. Eda was a wonderful hostess, and her parting gifts were extremely generous. We highly recommend this dog-friendly villa, though our springer spaniel did manage to escape through the bars in the fencing, which we still find incredible. We would love to return to this wonderful villa. Thank you Eda."
