Our stay at La Rocca Duo was absolutely great. The house is just beautifully renovated, perfectly equipped and offered everything we expected during our time in Croatia. Nadezda is a perfect and highly responsive host, helping us with all questions regarding our time in Istria and the surrounding area.

We had a wonderful stay and felt at home right away, when we arrived. We had a very nice welcome and received very good tips for places to visit, restaurants in the area and the best beach nearby. The house is very cozy and is located in the quiet village Drenje, which allowed us to unwind and enjoy a relaxed holiday. From the house you have a beautiful view of the sea and the island of Cres. Parking is right in front of the house and the next bigger supermarkets not too far by car.

We had a wonderful stay at La rocca duo! Everything was clean, modern and looked just like in the photos. The kitchen ist equipped with everything you need, there is a fridge with a small freezer, a coffee machine, a kettle, a hotplate for two pots/pans, dishes etc. The living area has a dining table (if you don't want to sit outside on the beautiful terrace) as well as comfortable armchairs, a sofa and TV. The bed upstairs is large and comfortable, the bathroom is modern. Since we were there in August, we were very happy about the air con in the house. The accomodation is a picture perfect stone cottage in a quiet and relaxing location, surrounded by nature. It took us about seven minutes to drive to the beach in Ravni. The nearby old town of Labin is also worth a visit! The host, Nadezda, was very helpful and always available. All in all we had a great stay and would highly recommend this accomodation!

This lovely little house was renovated with eye for detail and history. It has a comfortable bed, nice bathroom, cosy seating area and a private terrace wit bbq. The kitchen is small, but has everything you need. Since we went out to dinner most times to one of the many nice restaurants in Labin and surrounding area, we don't need a big kitchen anyway. That's why we are on holiday! And if you do find something you miss, just ask the host. She is very hospitable and will make your stay as comfortable as possible.

Das Gästehaus ist charmant und mit viel Liebe eingerichtet. In der eh sehr ruhigen Lage ist man sowohl im Haus als auch auf der kleinen Terrasse sehr für sich. Wir waren die ersten Gäste und unser Host Nadezda hat sich jederzeit um uns gekümmert, wenn wir Fragen hatten oder nach Empfehlungen für die Gegend gefragt haben.
