HOLIDAY LETTINGS book direct with the owners

This was the second time (2017) we visited the Butterfly cottage with Alfea and Gabriele as hosts. As last time such a peaceful and special place. The cottage is very picturesque with lots of space and two showers/wc which is very good when you travel with tweens as we do.

The garden is walled in and you feel like it's your own with lots of umbrellas, sunbeds and chairs and shady or sunny spots, just move around. Our girls loved the pool and was more in it than out of it. The garden is full of flowers and plants but also grass areas perfect for kids running around.

We love this place and the feel of our own little place (even tough we just rent). Alfea and Gabriele is also the perfect hosts, just there when you need help and as a special treat they also cooked us a 3-meal dinner one evening. That was truly special.

The location is also perfect, close to Motovun, Porec and other little towns within 30 min, and beaches if you get bored with the pool. The girls also loved the ziplining in Pazin just 10 min away. Craig and I enjoyed the wine tasting at the neighboring wineries. Craig also enjoyed the grappa, I didn't.

We would recommend this little jewel any day, and hopefully we will get back again.

We stayed 2 weeks in this Maddalena apartment, the owners were very nice and available to give us also contacts and directions to make the most of the holiday; the apartment is on the third floor of a building just outside the center reachable in a 2 minute drive, we were left well clean; the interior is faithful to the photos on the site, the kitchen is well equipped, in addition to the air conditioning system that we have not exploited is also available an electric fan.
Private parking place in the inner courtyard of the building.
Quiet area, we always slept well with the windows open.
Great value, given the time, if we were to come back, we would come back here!
A greeting and again thank you to Angelo and his daughter Marzia for hosting us!
We hope to see you again soon

Comfortable accommodation with large kitchen. Perfect for the group of 6 hikers we were. Good place to go to Snowdon.
