I recently had the pleasure of staying at the exquisite villa Hedony in Rakalj, Istria, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience! Every aspect of this vacation exceeded our expectations from the moment we arrived until our departure. Nestled in the heart of the enchanting Istrian countryside, the villa's location was simply breathtaking. Surrounded by lush greenery and picturesque landscapes, it provided the perfect setting for a tranquil and rejuvenating escape. The serene atmosphere allowed us to unwind and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. The villa itself was a true gem. Impeccably designed with a harmonious blend of modern amenities. The spacious living areas were adorned with tasteful decor, providing a cozy ambience that instantly made us feel at home. The fully-equipped kitchen was a delight for those who love to cook, and we relished preparing meals with fresh local produce we acquired from nearby markets. The three bedrooms were equally delightful, each boasting comfortable beds and linens that ensured a restful night's sleep. Waking up to the gentle rays of the sun filtering through the windows and the soothing sounds of nature was a dream come true. One of the highlights of our stay was the villa's outdoor space. The private pool was a refreshing oasis where we spent many blissful hours lounging in the sun or taking refreshing dips to beat the warm Istrian weather. The surrounding terrace was the perfect spot for dining alfresco, and we enjoyed numerous evenings savoring delicious meals under the stars. The property owners were attentive and accommodating, going above and beyond to ensure our stay was nothing short of exceptional. Their local knowledge proved invaluable, as they provided excellent recommendations for nearby attractions, restaurants, and hidden gems that made our exploration of Istria even more enjoyable. In conclusion, our stay at villa Hedony, was an absolute delight. It provided the perfect blend of luxury, relaxation, and cultural immersion, making it a vacation to remember fondly for years to come. If you're looking for an idyllic retreat in one of Croatia's most captivating regions, this villa is the perfect choice. I can't wait to return to this serene paradise in the near future!

Everything. The house is beautiful. Very well maintained. Lovingly furnished. More than comfortable. The best house we have ever stayed in on holiday. The kitchen perfectly equipped (not the usual Ikea utensils, but high quality pots). Dish soap and tabs are even provided. Often this is missing in houses. Not run down. Just perfect. The spa area is a dream, even with music. I don't like to rate normal, but this family deserves feedback. We will definitely be back.

It was already our second stay in Villa Hedone, a Villa with all amenities you can imagine. 3 beautiful bedrooms (each with private bathrooms), a huge Balkony with a gorgeous view, a large and modern living / cooking space downstairs, and 2 extra bathrooms on the ground floor. Also theres a huge saltwaterpool (wich we experienced to be much better than chlorine), a whirlpool, a multisport court with basketball / soccer / tabletennis, and the enormous garden is perfect for dogs. Sanja is a really nice and helpful host who implemented all of our suggestions we had at our first stay. Looking forward to our next visit

Villa Hedone has everything what you need to have a great vacation. My family and I enjoyed the heated pool as well as the jacuzzi and sauna. Surrounding of the villa is quiet, the children were playing badminton and volleyball on the playground and me and my husband were enjoying the sun. It was a true enjoyment.

We enjoyed our 4-nights stay and felt like home. The hosts were very communicative and they made sure we would have the ''home'' experience in their apartment. The kitchen was useful, the living room spacious and cozy, the bedroom secured all the rest we needed and the floor-heated bathroom was dreamy :)

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.
