A very nice family villa but we had a few issues.
Let me just start by saying this is a very nice Villa but unfortunately, we did have issues hence me scoring it lower than some of the other reviews. We were met on arrival by the owner who gave us a very detailed tour of the villa which has been beautifully renovated. My party consisted of 3 adults and 2 children and There was plenty of space both inside and outside to Relax, dine and enjoy the Villa and its surroundings The villa is extremely well presented very clean and well furnished. There’s Non-Smart TV ‘s in every room inc bedrooms although the Satellite TV only offered one UK Channel There’s Six bikes of which only four are just about road worthy, we took them out one day for a 10K round trip into the local town of Visnjan which was very nice trip There a Nintendo W11 in the living room advertised as a PlayStation which we couldn’t get to work There is a lovely pool room and table which we did spend time every evening playing pool and having fun. Swimming pool is very nice and a good size, its not heated however and can feel a little fresh when jumping in, there’s 8 loungers with ample cushions and very good parasols. We had issues with the AC and the hot water the owner came out twice with an engineer to fix it and by the end of the holiday it was working but the rooms don't get below 25% The Hot water or lack of it was frustrating as i ended up having cold showers , the owner did fix this but it only lasted a few days before going back to being inconsistent.

What an amazing place!
We (family of 6 including 2 young kids) stayed here in late May through early June and just loved it. We arrived after 10PM at night and had been in excellent communication with Suzi and Marko (mother and son) who own the place and found the lock box and let ourselves in just fine. Our initial impression was only of the interior as it was dark when we arrived, but everything was beautifully restored with high-end finishes and special attention to detail. The next morning when we were even more taken back by the beauty and features of the place when we saw the exterior. There are so many places to sit and relax outside; some covered, some not, some with tables for eating, others by the pool, etc. Just amazing! Suzi stopped by one of the days and introduced herself and told us the history of the property which has been in her family for 4+ generations. About 5km away there is a town with a wonderful bakery, supermarket and pizzeria. We also took day trips to Poreč, Rovinj and Pula from here and the drives were delightful. I would definitely stay here again--heck, I didn't want to leave. Highly recommend.

Superb villa for family holiday
We highly recommend this villa for a family holiday. Also the booking and communication with the hosts was great. The villa is a wonderful family home with every amenity you could wish for. Immaculately clean, with ample space for 8 adults. Location is away from the hustle and bustle of Porec situated in the ever green hills near Visnjan. Perfect base for touring beautiful Istria . Marko and family thank you for allowing us to stay at your home.

Wonderful! We would highly recommend!
We stayed here in August 2018 as a group of 2 families with 4 teenagers. The property was fabulous with so much space for us all to get together and to have time on our own. The villa has been restored perfectly - the traditional features have been retained whilst ensuring the modern aspects have been blended together to create a unique and welcoming aspect. The outside space is fantastic - the pool is huge and also has a jacuzzi feature. There is so much space and having the covered area is lovely if you wish to escape from the sun. There is a table outside the kitchen which is perfect for breakfast and for use with the kitchen on the first floor. We were so impressed with the kitchen on the ground floor - which was fully fitted out and we used this for lunch providing a great place to dine. All of the bedrooms and bathrooms were of a high quality and were spotlessly clean. In addition there was everything else provided - we couldn't think of one thing which was missing! There was a lovely village a few minutes away with a great traditional bakery, supermarket and 2 of the best restaurants we have visited - and all very reasonable! From a location perspective the villa is prefect to use as a base with all key areas being within 1 hour drive. In summary we had the most wonderful holiday and we would 100% recommend you book this villa! Many thanks Marco from the Richards Family and the Preston Family.

Great property
This was a great stay for our group of 6 (4 adults and 2 children). We used the pool, pool table, BBQ and kitchen extensively. The place is super clean and very well maintained. The owners have thought of everything and it’s a great place to enjoy Istria.

Istrian luxury - absolutely stunning!
Our stay at Villa tona was absolutely fantastic. The house is immaculately furnished and has been lovingly restored with exquisite attention to detail. We were particularly impressed with how spotlessly clean it was. We were a family of 7 from 8 to 87 years old and it catered for us all. The villa is extremely spacious and well equipped and we didn’t want for anything. Marko and family were superb hosts, extremely friendly, and always on hand for any queries or recommendations for the area. We had an incident whilst we were there, and Marko and family couldn’t have been kinder. The pool was the highlight and we took full advantage during the day and evening, amongst the lavender - just sublime. Istria is beautiful and will definitely return. Thank you once again villa tona!

Super Ferienwohnung
Wir waren zu siebt für eine Woche in diesem tollen Haus. Es war super sauber und die Bilder haben kein Stück gelogen. Das ganze Haus ist sehr gepflegt und gut ausgestattet, auch die beiden Küchen. Alles in allem ist es eine super Ferienwohnung für größere Gruppen oder Familien. Nur die Lage ist ein wenig abgelegen, sodass man nur mit dem Auto oder Taxi Dinge erledigen kann (ca. 20-30 min zum Einkaufen und Meer). Das ist zwar nicht unbedingt ein Problem, aber man sollte sich dessen bewusst sein.

Perfecte villa
Deze villa maakt alles waar wat er in de advertentie is genoemd. Op internet alleen lovende recencies en dat is volledig terecht. Wij (gezin, 3 kinderen) hebben 2 weken lang mogen genieten van alle luxe en comfort die deze villa biedt. Op de dag van aankomst werden we ontvangen door de bijzonder vriendleijke host en kregen we een rondleiding. Het huis is voorzien van alle gemakken en je hoeft behalve een koffer met kleding niets mee te nemen.

Sehr schönes Ferienhaus und gastfreundliche Vermieter
Wir haben uns in diesem wunderschönen Haus sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus ist sehr groß und mit allem nötigen super ausgestattet. Das echte highlight des Hauses ist die Kamin-Stube im Erdgeschoß mit einem separaten Billard-Zimmer. Wir wurden sehr gastfreundlich seitens Vermietern (Marko und sein Vater) empfangen und konnten sich bei Bedarf immer an sie wenden. Auch der Kontakt zur Agentur (Frau Fröhlich) war sehr nett. Frau Fröhlich hat uns mit allen nötigen Informationen schnell und unkompliziert versorgt. Vielen Dank für die schöne Zeit in Kroatien!

Wir (4 Personen - ursprünglich 6-7 geplant) hatten eine wunderschöne Woche Urlaub. Die Nähe zu Rovinj, Porec und Co sind super für Shopping und Sightseeing! Alles vorhanden und super sauber. Wunderschöne Villa mit tollen Zimmern perfekt gepflegtem Pool und gütlichen Betten. Ich hoffe zukünftige Gäste behandeln das Objekt auch mit entsprechendem Respekt. Wir kommen wieder!

Traumhaftes Haus auf einem wirklich hübschen Fleckchen Erde
Wir waren zwei Wochen im Juli mit zwei Familien mit insgesamt vier Kindern in diesem tollen Haus. Wir wurden von den Eigentümern selbst begrüßt und durchs Haus geführt. Wir haben uns sofort wohl gefühlt und man merkt dem Haus an jeder Ecke an, dass es von seinen Eigentümern als Herzstück behandelt wird. Es fehlt an nichts und es war alles sauber und ordentlich. Der Pool ist schön und es gibt viele Möglichkeiten, wo man sitzen oder liegen kann. Wir haben alle getestet und für gut befunden! Wenn man etwas bemängeln möchte, dann wäre es vielleicht das Bett im zweiten Elternschlafzimmer, was nur 160 breit war, und die vorbeiführende Straße, die man hört. Uns hat es überhaupt nicht gestört, wir haben einfach die Fenster nachts geschlossen und durch die Klimaanlage hervorragend geschlafen. Wir waren das erste Mal in Kroatien, aber bestimmt nicht das letzte Mal. Die Gegend ist unglaublich schön. Bis ins nächste Dorf sind es 3 Kilometer, hier gibt es einen tollen Bäcker mit einer Wurst- und Käsetheke fürs Frühstück und einen Supermarkt, der auch alles hat was man braucht. Bis zum Großeinkauf sind wir nach Porec gefahren, da gibt es Lidl, Marktkauf und Plodine. In Visnjan ist ein tolles Restaurant, unser Favorit auch nach den zwei Wochen Urlaub in Istrien. So gut gegessen und herzlich bewirtet wie in der Taverne Borgonja wurden wir nirgends. Und das, obwohl die Kroaten ein wirklich freundliches Volk sind, und sogar viele deutsch sprechen! Es gibt keine Sandstrände, aber dafür an jeder noch so kleinen Bucht eine Toilette und eine kleine Bar. Und für die Kinder gibt es Rutschen oder Wasser-Hüpfburgen-Anlagen, auf denen sie sich austoben können. Unsere Kinder haben den Sandstrand nicht wirklich vermisst, obwohl sie erst 4 und 7 sind. Allerdings braucht man dringend diese Wasserschuhe, die man aber auch in Kroatien überall kaufen kann. Besonders gut haben uns auch die kleinen Orte in der Umgebung gefallen, Porec ist schön, Novigrad abends toll, Rovinj erinnert an Venedig und der Limski Fjord hat Postkarten-Flair. Abschließend möchten wir den Eigentümern danken, die immer ansprechbar waren und sofort zur Stelle, wenn es Fragen und/oder Probleme gab. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und uns hervorragend erholt!
