Booking confirmation

  • Booking confirmation didn’t arrive by email? What now?

    Booking confirmation didn’t arrive by email? What now? Don’t worry – we also use other channels (WhatsApp, Viber) to make communication as easy as possible!

    Possible reasons your confirmation may not have arrived:

    • Check your internet connection – there may have been a drop.
    • Look for messages on WhatsApp or Viber.
    • Check your “Promotions” or “Spam” folders in your inbox.

    If you still haven’t received the confirmation, get in touch:

    We’re here to make every step of your journey easier!

  • How soon will I get my booking confirmation by email?

    How soon will I get my booking confirmation by email? Your confirmation should land in your inbox right after you complete your booking on our site—typically within a few minutes. If you still don’t see it after 10–15 minutes, something may have gone wrong.

    Here are the most common reasons:

    • Payment didn’t go through. Check whether you received a payment-success notification.
    • Your card is expired or not enabled for online purchases. There’s usually a customer-service number on the back—give your bank a call.
    • Insufficient funds or spending limit. Maybe your account balance is too low, or your card limit isn’t high enough (this often happens on amounts over €1,500).
    • Paying from a checking account. Bank transfers can take 1–3 business days to clear. Don’t worry—we’ll let you know as soon as we see the payment!
    • International payment. If you’re paying from outside the EU, the bank may block the transaction. Contact us and we’ll handle the necessary checks.

    Feel free to reach out if anything stalls or if you have any questions—we’re here to help!

  • What if I haven't received my booking confirmation email?

    What if I haven’t received my booking confirmation email? If your booking confirmation email didn’t arrive, don’t worry – it happens! Here’s what you can do:

    • Check if your payment was successfully completed via your bank or mobile banking app.
    • Wait a few minutes – sometimes it takes a bit of time for our system to process the booking and send the confirmation.
    • Check your spam, promotions, or junk folder – the email may have ended up there. Gmail and Yahoo Mail often sort messages automatically.
    • If the payment went through and there’s still no confirmation, feel free to contact us.

    Still having trouble? We’re just a message away – feel free to reach out!

  • Will I have to pay any additional costs upon arrival?

We strive for full transparency so you can confidently plan your holiday.


    Potential Additional Costs

    Extra costs may apply only if you request additional services or have special requests, such as:

    • Extra towels

    • Insurance: If not arranged in advance, you can purchase it upon arrival at our office or online.

    If you have any further questions or would like to check in detail what your reservation includes, feel free to contact us. We are here to help and to make your trip as pleasant and easy as possible.

    We also emphasize that we charge no incidental fees upon arrival (e.g., check-in, cleaning, or local taxi fares) unless explicitly stated in your chosen service or accommodation description.

    Our goal is to provide all information transparently from the outset. Relax and enjoy your holiday, knowing no unexpected surprises await.

  • Is breakfast included in the price?

    Is breakfast included in the price? With us, breakfast is only included if clearly stated in the offer or description of your chosen accommodation. Each property has its own terms, so check your booking confirmation or our website.

    What types of breakfast are offered in Istria?

    If breakfast is included, you can expect a tasty and fresh breakfast every morning during your stay at no extra cost. Typically, this could be:

    • Mediterranean breakfast (regionally inspired)
    • Continental breakfast (for heartier options)
    • English breakfast
    • Other: Some properties offer buffet options (like Swedish table) or local specialties, depending on the accommodation type.

    What if breakfast isn’t included?

    If breakfast isn’t included, you can usually order it separately at the reception or restaurant for an additional charge. Note that some properties don’t offer breakfast at all – but we’re here with alternatives! Always check the offer details or contact us to avoid misunderstandings or unexpected costs.

    What about apartments/villas without breakfast?

    If breakfast is important for your holiday, we’ll help you find accommodation where it’s included! We can also recommend external venues outside your booked service.

    Quick guide:

    • Quick breakfast? We’ll direct you to shops/cafés with simple options (note: these won’t be full breakfasts like Mediterranean/Continental styles).
    • Breakfast with a view? We know terrace spots in Poreč/Vrsar with peaceful views.

    Whether you’re paying online or at our branch, you’re protected in multiple ways:

    • We use Monri WSPay for card payments—the Croatian market leader!

  • What type of accommodation do you offer?

    What type of accommodation do you offer? In our selection, you can choose from various types of lodging: apartments, studio apartments, villas, and holiday homes, all designed to meet the needs and budgets of our guests. Each accommodation is carefully chosen to ensure you have a comfortable and unforgettable stay, whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, with family, or in a group of friends.

    Apartments – Your Apartment as Your Home

    Apartments combine the comfort of home with hotel‑style amenities. Each apartment comes with a fully or partially equipped kitchen where you can prepare meals to suit your own gourmet taste. Depending on the size, apartments feature one to four bedrooms, making them perfect for families or groups of up to eight people.

    All our apartments are air‑conditioned, and most include a balcony or terrace where you can enjoy your morning coffee or relax in the evening. Cleaning and linen changes are included in the price—usually once a week for longer stays—as well as towel replacement. Free Wi‑Fi is available in all apartments so you can share your experiences on social media right away.

    Our apartments are located in attractive areas, 100–800 meters from the beach or town center, providing easy access to all main amenities. Parking is provided for all guests, and most apartments are pet‑friendly upon prior request.

    To book an apartment, a 30% deposit of the total price is required, with the remainder due seven days before arrival. The minimum stay is typically 3–7 nights, depending on the season. If you need a shorter stay, please feel free to get in touch!

    Studio Apartments – Practicality in a Compact Space

    Studio apartments are a smart solution for those seeking functionality in a smaller space. The main difference between a studio and an apartment is that a studio does not have a separate bedroom—the sleeping and living areas merge into one.

    Studios can accommodate 2–4 people, depending on the configuration. Typically, there is a double bed plus a pull‑out sofa or two single beds. Each studio has a kitchenette equipped with essentials for preparing light meals.
    Studio sizes range from 25 to 40 m², sufficient for a cozy stay for couples or small families. All studios are air‑conditioned, with a private bathroom and balcony/terrace. Wi‑Fi is free so you can share your experiences on your favorite social network! Maintenance and cleaning are carried out regularly without delay.

    Studios are ideal for short city visits, business trips, or romantic weekends. Prices are more affordable than larger apartments, and bookings are possible for shorter periods.

    Villas – Privacy and Comfort at the Highest Level

    Villas represent the pinnacle of comfort and privacy for those seeking a top‑tier experience. Our villas have 2–6 bedrooms and can host 4–12 people, making them perfect for larger families or groups of friends.
    Most villas feature a completely private pool, ensuring maximum intimacy. Villas come fully equipped with a complete kitchen, dishwasher, and all necessary appliances. Cleaning and maintenance are included in the price and carried out regularly.

    Our villas are child‑friendly—with safe pools, gardens, and children’s facilities. The outdoor space includes a barbecue and outdoor kitchen, perfect for gatherings. All villas are fenced for extra security for you and your children. Private parking is provided for all guests.

    Villas are entirely exclusive during your stay. Some offer additional spa amenities such as a sauna or jacuzzi. Most are pet‑friendly with an extra fee or prior notice.

    We recommend booking a villa at least 2–6 months in advance, especially for the summer season. Nightly rates range from €160 to €1,000, depending on location and amenities. The price is ‘all‑inclusive’: use of all villa facilities, cleaning, linen, towels, Wi‑Fi, parking, and pool maintenance during your stay.

    Holiday Homes – An Authentic “At‑Home” Experience

    Holiday homes offer an authentic experience of living in the destination you’re visiting. Each house is fully equipped for you and all the necessary amenities for a comfortable stay. The number of bedrooms ranges from 2 to 4, accommodating 4–10 people.

    Kitchens come with a dishwasher and a full set of appliances. Houses are especially suitable for families with children, providing a safe, homely atmosphere. Information on distances to all amenities (beach, shops, restaurants) is detailed in each listing.

    Each home has an outdoor area—a garden, terrace, or yard—where you can relax. Internet and TV are standard, as well as basic household supplies.

    Holiday homes are also perfect for a romantic getaway—many offer an intimate atmosphere with stunning views. Prices are competitive, and the ability to prepare your own meals makes them an economical choice for longer stays.
