Room was up two flights of stairs, but we were only there a night passing through so we left big cases in the car, thankfully! Bed was very uncomfortable, and towels were very not soft!

Beautiful property. Free parking available. Restaurant was great for dinner. Lovely pool area. Freestanding bath in our room. We loved exploring the old town where we went for coffee and a morning snack before we set off on our next drive.

Nothing major. A few of the fixtures (hooks, shower head, swimming pool tiles) could do with some minor TLC.

Quiet location, beautiful grounds and pool, short walk to delightful town of Bale. We only stayed one night as this was a transit stop before flying back to Uk from Pula but it would be a great base for a longer stay in Istria if you have a car.

There were a lot of things that did not work properly in the room, such as TV, cabinet door, holders in the bathroom etc. They organize weddings in the garden and the party is directly under the window of our room, but thay offered us to move to another room which was much quiter, so it was not such a big deal. Although we had to move all our stuff from one room to another and than back, which was a little bit annoying.

Very nice villa in the beautiful old town of Bale. The garden with swimming pool is beautiful, it is great place to relax during the hot summer days. Parking was easy in fron of the property. Our room was very small but cosy with the view to the garden. Aircondition was very helpful in the hot summer days. The food in the restaurant was very good.

Cannot think of anything!

Villa Lav simply exceeded our expectations in every way. The place is a hidden gem in the village of Bale and it offers a relaxed high quality holiday. If you want to escape crowds on the beaches or simply find a perfect retreat to get away from the business of your daily life, this is the place for you. The owners and the staff was so pleasant (and professional!), they made us feel like we were home every day. The property was very well groomed and the rooms were spotless, furnished with beautiful custom made furniture. Wifi in the room was good. More importantly, the beds are very comfortable. Breakfast is more than rich! It offers variety of food for everyone's taste. The restaurant in the Villa Lav offers Istrian and Macedonian cuisine and it is definitely worth visiting. Last but not least, the swimming pool is amazing. It is surrounded with high pine trees and there are plenty of sun beds around it for all quests. We saw pictures on the website but the reality was even better. The size of the pool is 18 x 13 m! During our stay in villa Lav, we visited Rovinj (12 km away), the Bale open air jazz festival and we went to an open air concert in Pula Arena. In addition to relaxing time in the villa, there are plenty of nice places to visit and events to attend nearby this beautiful property.

The site says that smoking is forbidden in the room, but our room smelled like an ashtray. It was obvious that the staff tried to hide the smell with some kind of flavor sprayed on the curtains, but it made it even worse.

It was a secluded, cozy, quaint place with a scenic atmosphere.

Fantastic!

The bedrooms and bed linen are dark and need lightening and updating, without losing the character. The bathroom shower curtain fell down and we needed to place it up higher. There was broken glass and a bra left in the wardrobe.

The restaurant, the building, the pool.

We were without toilet paper the entire stay, even after asking multiple times for new rolls. Organisation not a strong point at this lovely villa. Not even a commercial gesture to apologize. 😢

The grounds and pool are beautiful. Great location in Istria. Bale is a cute town.
