It's so beautiful I don't know where to start. Beautifully decorated with many details and the entire space tells a beautiful Mediterranean story. We rested and enjoyed every moment. Clean, tidy and beautiful, and the pool is beautiful. The pool is above average size, which enabled us to have great moments during the day. Proximity to Poreč is a big plus. Everything was perfect.
