Our family party of 7 adults have just returned from a wonderful week at Villa Runko. We chose the villa in the first place because we were looking for a spacious villa in a quiet, beautiful location- and that is exactly what we got and more! The villa is situated on the side of a hill with spectacular panoramic views of mountains, vineyards and olive groves. The house itself was spotlessly clean and the pool, garden and outdoor equipment well maintained. Everything was as advertised on the website and all we needed, including BBQ equipment was available. A car is essential and with the nearest good supermarkets at least 15 minutes drive away, one needs to be organised- a small price to pay for the situation of the house. Although we did not do much in the way of sightseeing( being August) , we passed some beautiful old towns and villages, including spectacular views at nearby Pican. Beaches at Rabac were quite crowded but we enjoyed a great day out on the sea, hiring a boat there and swimming and snorkelling from the boat. Although we tended to eat at the house, a small restaurant in Krsan (recommended by the owner) was well worth a visit, with a delicious dishes( including truffles) at very reasonable prices.

On our arrival, our host was there to meet us with a glass of wine (despite us being delayed by a couple of hours!) and was very helpful. Our dealings with My Istria agency too were excellent, with all emails answered immediately, as well as always being very helpful and friendly over the phone.

If a quiet , relaxing holiday in beautiful surrounds is what you are after, you will really enjoy Villa Runko!
