We stayed at Villa Marula with 4 adults, three children and 2 dogs. We were already in contact with Marko via WhatsApp before our arrival, so he was able to welcome us earlier than expected. The villa itself is tastefully furnished and welcomed us with a full fruit basket, 2 bottles of the excellent Arula olive oil and chilled drinks. The equipment of the house leaves nothing to be desired, whether kitchen, utility room or outdoor - everything has been thought of. During a storm, the pool pump broke down and was promptly replaced. Marko was always available to answer any questions. For us as dog owners, it was pleasing that the property is properly enclosed and, if you don't have a high jump breaker with you, the fencing is really good. We can absolutely recommend Villa Marula

We were 3 adults and 4 children aged between 13 and 16. We received a very friendly welcome and were able to move into the house earlier than planned. The house is in mint condition and the room layout is ideal. For us there was not a single point that we could criticise. The grounds are very well maintained. The lawn robot mows at night and cannot be heard. The location is in a quiet village near Buje. Umag is about 13 km to the west. In the evening on the terrace you have a wonderful view of Umag including the sunset. In case of problems (after a storm) the landlord was quickly on the spot. The home-made olive oil was already available in the kitchen. There was also a full fruit plate, 2 bottles of wine and drinks in the fridge. All travellers were delighted with the house. We can definitely recommend it. 5 stars.

We stayed at Villa Marula with 6 adults and a large dog. We were greeted warmly even after a late arrival. We were greeted with a large plate of fruit and a full fridge with drinks. The house is well laid out and very new and tastefully furnished. Everything was available for our daily needs. The location of the villa is ideal for trips to the great towns in Istria. Marko was quick to help with any problems. The villa is highly recommended and gets 5 stars from us.

We stayed at Villa Marula in two families. The house is beautiful. Very clean. Nothing is missing in the house. 4 large double rooms. A very well-equipped kitchen and a large living area. The garden is very well maintained. The hosts welcomed us with drinks and wine in the fridge, an excellent bottle of oil and a fruit basket. They catered to our every wish. Definitely a 5 star holiday. We will return as soon as possible.

Villa Marula is situated in the green interior of Istria, next to the small town of Buje. The fully fenced property with Mediterranean garden, swimming pool and summer kitchen with barbecue is ideal for a holiday in a peaceful environment. This modern one-storey house has 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms and can accommodate up to 8 people. Leisure facilities such as table tennis will entertain guests of all ages and your pet is also welcome in the villa.

An open plan living area with a lounge, kitchen and dining room forms the central part of the ground floor. Glass doors at several points in the room open directly onto the garden or pool, bringing in natural light. The modern living room has a large sofa and TV and is a great place to spend time with family or friends. The dining table for 8 is also a favourite place to spend time together. You can also prepare your own specialities in the fully equipped kitchen. The modern kitchen also has a breakfast bar for a quick bite to eat or a coffee in the morning.

There are 3 bedrooms with double beds and one room with 2 single beds. The rooms are decorated in a modern and minimalist style to create a soothing atmosphere, perfect for relaxing at the end of the day. Out of the 4 bedrooms, 3 have access to the garden, so you can join the other guests on the covered terrace directly from your room. All the bathrooms are modern and equipped with shower cubicles, and all of them have hairdryers.

At first sight, the garden will win you over with its greenery. The central point of gathering and relaxation is the 24 m² outdoor pool with stair access. In addition to the outdoor shower, there is a sunbathing area with 8 loungers where you can relax all day long. Next to the pool there is a stone summer kitchen with a barbecue where you can prepare your meals in the breeze and enjoy them at a large table on the covered terrace. Access to the outdoor terrace is available from 2 bedrooms and the kitchen. On the terrace you will find a number of places to relax, and in the grassy corner of the garden the children can have fun on the slide and the swing. You can also enjoy a game of table tennis, table football or badminton in the fragrant Mediterranean air, all waiting for you at Villa Marula. Private parking for 3 vehicles with electric car charging points is available on site.

While you're relaxing at Villa Marula, feel free to stroll through the old town of Buje. There you can visit the 14th century church of St. Servul. Lovers of historical heritage will enjoy a visit to Momjan, just a few minutes' drive from Buje, where they can visit an impressive 13th century castle. Be sure to taste the famous Momjan muscat and local Istrian olive oil, one of the best in the world. The coastal town of Umag, with its beautiful old town, is a ten-minute drive away. If you want to escape the crowds and relax on the beach, explore the hidden coves of Umag and its surrounding area.

Everything you need to know about reviews

How is the average score determined?

The average review scores of villas and holiday homes are shown on our website on a scale from 1 to 5. the average score is determined by adding up all the scores we receive and then dividing them by the total number of reviews received.

Which categories are rated

In the review form you can rate the villa or holiday home where you stayed in a total of 6 categories: location, facilities, comfort, cleanliness, host and value for money. Shortly after checking out from the accommodation (3 days) you will receive an e-mail with the link to the review form. You can only leave a review if you have actually stayed in the accommodation – this is how we ensure the authenticity and trustworthiness of our reviews.

Satisfaction with our service

In addition to the accommodation, we will also ask you to rate your satisfaction with our reservations centre and how likely you are to recommend our mediation services to other guests.

When will the reviews be published on the website

After you submit your review and we receive it, our quality team will check if the review is in line with our guidelines. If everything is in line with our guidelines, the review will be published on our website.

When reviews are not published

We strive to publish every review we receive, regardless of whether it is positive or negative. However, there are some cases in which we cannot publish the review. If the review contains offensive or unacceptable language (swear words, incitement to violence, political comments, advertising, personal details or first and last names of accommodation staff, references to illegal activities, etc.), it will not be published on our site i.e. the score may be published, but not the comment containing the above examples of undesirable content.

Translations of reviews

As an additional service, we offer the option of translating your review into other languages that we support on our website. We use Google Translate for this. Please note that this is a machine translation and we cannot rule out the possibility of errors in the translation. We therefore cannot accept any responsibility for the translations. In the event of complaints based on reviews, only the original language will be taken into account.
