Villa Cavalieri Country Hotel

Everything was perfect! A dinner in their restaurant is a must!

Ausgezeichneter Aufenthalt in diesem atypischen Hotel. Ehemaliges saniertes Gestüt. Da ist alles perfekt. Einrichtung, Atmosphäre, Unterkunft. Wir waren in der Junior Suite untergebracht, mit einem kleinen privaten Pool (108). Aufmerksames Personal, sehr gutes Frühstück und charmantes Restaurant unter den mondbeschienenen Lauben, romantisch wie es nur sein kann! Auf der anderen Seite launisches WLAN und das Fehlen französischer Sender (was normalerweise kein Problem darstellt, aber wir waren mitten in den Olympischen Spielen und hätten gerne etwas mehr erfahren!)

The hotel is situated in a very quiet area 3km from Pula, accessible by car or bike (it is not possible to walk from Pula due to the type of roads). Owing to the location, the atmosphere is incredibly peaceful and the hotel itself is calm, tastefully decorated and feels 'boutique'. Pula itself is a great place to visit! We saved quite a lot of money so we could pay for the most expensive room with a small private pool to make the experience really special. We felt the room was beautifully furnished and the pool was an exciting extra - we had sole use of it, however it wasn't completely private as another room overlooked it directly, which was a little disappointing. Paying the price we did, it felt a little grating to have to pay for room extras e.g. minibar contents, particularly as the water from the taps was always warm and so was unpleasant to drink. A few little details could be improved to make the experience really special. For example, the shower had no light inside , which meant we had to shower in semi-darkness, which was not ideal. It also lacked ventilation, so we had to prop the door open using the bathroom bin every day to stop it smelling dank as it did when we first arrived. We stress this wasn't because it wasn't clean, and just an issue with ventilation. The room was very clean overall! Additionally, only one socket in the room took a standard EU adaptor, which for guests from outside the EU is a little frustrating. Finally, the lights on the air conditioning and WiFi router were very distracting at night and we had to block them with an assortment of pillows. On the flip side, The breakfast spread is extravagant and the pastries were delightful! Additionally, we were very grateful to the professional, friendly and multilingual staff who were always very happy to help us out. We discovered that the hotel has plans to develop over the next year and are confident that with a few tweaks it can become a truly superb place to visit!
