Reviews of Casa Stella

A magnificent house run by a wonderful couple. Everything is tastefully decorated and equipped with high-quality amenities. The cleanliness is impeccable, and the hospitality is second to none. Unfortunately, we couldn't take full advantage of all the accommodation had to offer, as we only stayed for one night. But if we return to the area, we wouldn't hesitate to stay several days with Marina and her charming husband. Draguc is a mysterious little town that holds the secret of its magnificent frescoes. For food or shopping, head to the nearby village. Bistro & Caffe Bar "Glorijet" is perfect for a good burger and fries in a warm, local atmosphere.

Everything is perfect!

Casa Stella has updated amenities and is tastefully decorated. Hosts are friendly, helpful, responsive (via WhatsApp) and paid attention to small details to make our stay comfortable. Property is very clean and roomy for our family of 3, with a washer and dryer. We highly recommend Casa Stella if you want to see the Istrian hill villages. You will need a car (with GPS) and you can park right outside the house. Draguc itself is a charming tiny village with medieval churches and well preserved religious frescoes.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely place and the hosts took the time to receive us the day we arrived, explaining and recommending places we could go to. We even got a bottle of welcome juice and pastries and our daughter got a basket of sweets. We got to hang out with the village cats, and the locals were all very welcoming. If you prefer to be away from the hustle and bustle of the city, this will be a perfect place to be. The nearest supermarket/ restaurant is just a 10 minute ride away.

A pity that the only cafe in the village is closed.

Excellently maintained property with all facilities and the hosts took care that everything was meticulous. Air conditioning in every room, kitchen and toilets, washing machine, dryer etc...really liked it there.

Location is remote with no restaurants, cafe or grocery shops in the immediate vicinity. You have to travel 7.5km to the nearest village to get anything.

The house was restored very recently, the decoration is really cute, the owners were very nice and helpful and left us some very nice welcome presents.

Nothing

The hosts Marina and Zeljko are very helpful and kind. Casa Stella is newly very well renovated and match the fine old building. You have everything you need and it is very clean. Peaceful and cozy atmosphere both in the house and the village. Taking an evening walk in the quiet narrow streets you will hear the church bell from the tower at the village square and be presented to the most stunning panoramic views. This is such a lovely place - a true hidden treasure - we strongly recommend a stay here. We hope to come back some day.

We had a very authentic experience staying in this apartment and this little town of Draguč. The apartment ifself is well equipped with everything you need, spacious, clean. The hosts were really pleasant and gave us a friendly welcome. The town is very small, with a few old stone streets and four churches. It is a place for those who want to spend some days of a unique holiday, without tourists (or people in general). You can literally sit on your street and drink coffee with local cats. We really enjoyed our time here!

Nestled in the quaint village of Draguć, our chosen accommodation was nothing short of spectacular, offering a blend of rustic charm and modern amenities that left us thoroughly impressed. From the moment we stepped into the apartment, it was clear that every detail had been carefully curated to ensure a comfortable and luxurious stay. The apartment itself boasts beautifully decorated interiors, featuring high-quality furniture that combines style with comfort. The bedding was plush and inviting, ensuring restful nights after days spent exploring the scenic surroundings. The kitchen was a highlight for us, equipped with top-notch appliances that made cooking a delight rather than a chore. What truly set our experience apart were our hosts, who greeted us with the warmest of welcomes and refreshments. Their hospitality was genuine and thoughtful, making us feel right at home from the very beginning. They were also a treasure trove of local tips and stories that enriched our understanding and appreciation of the area. Draguć is a hidden gem, a small village that exudes charm and friendliness. Its people are exceptionally welcoming, adding to the overall sense of community and warmth. The village's location is perfect for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature. The tranquility and natural beauty of the area provide a perfect backdrop for relaxation and rejuvenation. For anyone seeking a peaceful retreat with a touch of luxury in Istria, this accommodation in Draguć comes highly recommended. It offers not only a place to stay but a delightful experience that connects you with the heart of Istrian culture and hospitality.

The property and the hosts exceeded the expectations of our whole family. The house is very tastefully decorated, clean to the highest standards and fully equipped. The hosts were very friendly and provided us with information about the town, what to do, where to go etc... They went above and beyond and we will not only recommend Draguc and this house to all our friends but might even go back ourselves!

There was absolutely nothing not to like!

Zadovoljni sa smjestajem i domacinom!

The appartment was very clean, comfortable and full equiped. Location was great, near many small cities for visiting. Draguć is quiet and picturesque. Host is very kind and give us many usefull information for our stay. We will come back for sure 💕 Marina, thank You very much

The house has just been restored. A house with a dignified history has been renovated with heart. The interior is very beautiful and absolutely everything you need, is there ( air conditioner, dishwasher, dryer, washing machine and everything else. Also hair dryer in both bathrooms ). Everything was very clean and comfortable. Impressively tasteful interior design. Marina and Željko received us very friendly - shared good advice, were available when needed and the gift of a bottle of wine in the fridge, was very nice. Casa Stella also located in a stunningly beautiful mountain village - what views! Sunset and sawing cicades in the evening... 100 meters away is small pizzeria. One of the best pizzas - hot, crispy and delicious! Parking was safe. Beautiful surroundings and a peaceful, private stay. We highly recommend Casa Stella!
