Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Rakotule

Excellent villa, beautiful pool. Lidija and her husband made us feel very welcome with homemade pastries and a vino on arrival. Excellent location easy to get to Pula and Pazin. We loved it. Thank you for a fabulous holiday.

Beautiful apartment with garden in the countryside. Recommendation.

We have now been to this beautiful holiday home for the second time and it was absolutely fantastic again! The house is superbly equipped, very clean and furnished with a lot of attention to detail. The pool is a real highlight. Our two dogs also felt completely comfortable and enjoyed the stay. A big thank you to the warm host – as always, everything was perfectly prepared and we immediately felt welcome. I'm sure we'll be back!

We enjoyed our stay. The apartment was extremely clean and the large bed was comfortable. There is a nice area for sitting out in the lower garden. The sea view is somewhat misleading. While it is possible to view the sea it can’t be done from the apartment unless you walk across the lower garden. The seaview shown is essentially from SAs parent apartment on the upper floor. That said the garden is a pleasant place to sit out. As others have stated there is a language issue with SAs father but this was easily got round with hand signals etc. He was waiting for our arrival and showed us round the apartment and was pleasant to deal with. He also brought chocolate pancakes one evening. SA was very quick to respond to my queries prior to arrival and offered us the option to arrive early. Overall this is a pleasant place to stay.

DAJANA is amazing host , easy to communicate amazing house . i feelt like at my own home! highly recommended !

Beautiful house, super clean, great amenities in the kitchen. Everything you need on arrival. Alan answers questions immediately. We felt very comfortable! Would definitely come again.

We had a great time at the house! The host was incredibly kind and hospitable-we felt very cared for right from the start. We were greeted by fresh vegetables and fruit, which was a very nice gesture. The house is well located – close to a town with good restaurants, and there are many scenic bike paths in the area. The house itself was spotless and very well equipped. Highly recommended and would love to come back!

We had a nice stay at this cozy house. The Location is really beautiful an private. The house has everything you need. We would totally recommend!

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful home in Istria! The house is incredibly spacious, perfect for our group, and had everything we needed for a comfortable and relaxing vacation. The highlight was definitely the private pool and large outdoor area, plenty of room to lounge, dine, and enjoy the sunshine. The location is peaceful and offers a true taste of Istria, while still being within a short drive to charming towns, beaches, and local restaurants. The host was friendly, responsive, and made sure everything was perfect for our arrival. Highly recommend this place for families or groups looking for space, privacy, and a touch of luxury in beautiful Croatia. We’d love to come back!

our family had a wonderful stay at Villa Caltha. It is a beautiful property with a great outdoor space overlooking the countryside. everything exceeded our expectations! the town of Sveti Lovrec is a hidden gem, with a great pizzeria and several caffe bars. easy access to Rovinj, Motovun and more. highly recommend!

Ivan's Villa Simone is a great house. We were here with eight people and had a fantastic time. The house is beautiful, both inside and outside. The furnishings are high-quality and everything you need has been thought of. When we arrived, towels and beach towels were already on the loungers by the pool, which immediately invited us to swim. The pool is huge and perfect for swimming. Ivan was very accommodating and always available. His mother even brought us a homemade cake. We have rarely felt so comfortable in an airbnb. We will definitely come back. Thank you Ivan for this great vacation.

An absolute dream destination. The owner is very friendly, helpful and not intrusive. You feel like someone is there who is happy to help and support. The fence is completely tight, our dogs could get out when they wanted and we didn't have to worry about them leaving. The house is equipped with everything that is important. You can feel completely comfortable here, everything is 100% clean and looks like no one has ever been here. The house is more beautiful in real life than on the pictures! Pool is cleaned regularly by the owner, especially in the morning that you don't notice it (didn't even hear anything) and it is always nice and clean. You can absolutely recommend it, will be back next year!!

Peacful beutiful place! We will be back for sure!

The place more than met our expectations. Although the first impression from the street was still very inconspicuous, we were convinced of the opposite when entering the house. The rooms were extremely modern and comfortably furnished, the kitchen also extremely well equipped. The private garden with pool and outdoor kitchen was also ideal for our group of 8 and invited us to relax. The separate pool house or the freestanding bathtub in one of the bedrooms was also a small highlight. Overall, we really enjoyed the time there and can definitely recommend it. ☀️

Sandra is a wonderful host — warm and thoughtful. She welcomed us with homemade doughnuts and a bottle of wine, which was such a nice gesture after a long drive. Although she doesn't speak perfect English, communication was easy and pleasant throughout our stay. The house is a beautifully restored old villa, full of charm and very well maintained. Everything was spotless. The location is in a quiet, remote village, surrounded by stunning landscapes. It’s incredibly peaceful, ideal for relaxation. The road to the house is narrow but fully paved, and we had no issues getting there. We truly enjoyed our stay and would warmly recommend it to anyone looking for a serene escape in nature.

We had a week's holiday in villa Zoro with our three small children. We had a lovely relaxing week. Not much to do in the city! But there is a football field and playground we used daily. But it's a 10 minute drive to the nearest bigger supermarket (Lidl) We were greeted by ms. Eni, who is super sweet and friendly. The place was clean and tidy, with a kitchen with everything you need. The only downside to the stay was that it is among many ruin houses being renovated and there is an odor coming from the chicken coop next door. But we had a really lovely holiday! Check out was also super flexible where Sarah came and even had a small gift for us.

Completely self-sufficient and totally secluded. The location is unique, you only hear and see: occasionally cyclists, and in the morning and evening the sheep are driven past. Many butterflies, birds, lizards and snakes. The accommodation is totally charmingly furnished. We had everything we needed! Our dog had paradise there. Beautiful view of the sea.

We were received in person at the property after a short notice. We got a short tour and received important information. The place is quietly located, which was very accommodating to us. Restaurants, shopping, etc. can be easily reached by car. We received good tips from the hosts. Highlights include the outdoor kitchen with grill and cooking facilities, which can be used very well for warm summer evenings. We will be happy to come back.

Ela was an amazing host and the villa is even nicer in real life than on the photos, def worth it!

A Hidden Gem in Pazin – Absolutely Perfect Stay! Staying at Nikolina’s place was an absolute dream. The home was spotless, tastefully decorated, and filled with thoughtful details that made us feel instantly welcome. The setting is peaceful and scenic — ideal for relaxing or exploring the beautiful Istrian countryside. What truly made the experience unforgettable was Nikolina herself and her family. She was incredibly helpful and kind — whether we needed help drying clothes, setting up the grill, or tasting her delicious homemade almond grappa, she was always there with a smile and genuine hospitality. If you’re looking for a quiet, charming, and heartwarming getaway, this is the place. We’d return in a heartbeat and recommend it to anyone visiting the region!

Thank you for the very warm welcome Mr. Željko, perfect accommodation. Very nice accommodation, possibility to put the bikes in safety and load them, perfect for us who travel by bike.

The property is very well equipped and really looks as nice as in the photos. All the buildings have been lovingly and high-quality restored. Patrizia's communication is great. Thanks for the awesome stay.

We had a great time at the holiday home, which was very pretty and in a good location. We particularly appreciated the many things available to help us make the most of our stay. The only small reserve would be the presence of mosquitoes, but fortunately, there was everything we needed to keep them away. Thanks again for your hospitality!

Villa Motovun is one of the most beautiful houses we’ve stayed in. The house has been renovated with such care to detail, it has kept the traditional character but is completely modernised with all amenities you would need. We loved the colour schemes, the materials used. It was so comfortable, with many seating areas, very comfortable, large beds (super important!), every room with en-suite bathroom. The views from the terrace of the Mirna valley and Groznjan in the distance are stunning. We loved having the little heated pool, the sauna and the pool table. The local wine ‘mini bar’ was also nice and we could help ourselves to a bottle of local Malvasia or Teran. All in all a gem in a beautiful medieval hilltop town, walkable to some really good restaurants serving amongst other things, local homemade pasta with truffles, or wild asparagus in the spring. Thank you Zeljko for your hospitality. We hope to be back again soon.
