Very nice maisonette

Beautiful place, very comfortable and quiet too. We were very pleased with our stay here. The location was great with easy access to many places- restaurants, stores, the coast. A definite plus!

Superb base for a fantastic holiday

Booking our stay was really easy, Ana was very helpful in answering all our questions and making sure we had all the info we needed. The Villa is divided into two spacious holiday homes, we stayed in 'Alba' and it was absolutely perfect for us. Lovely big rooms give it a good airy feel, and it was well equipped with everything we needed to enjoy our stay. The whole Villa has recently been rebuilt and fitted out tastefully (there's an interesting photographic record of the rebuilding process hanging on the walls). The terrace is a great space for relaxing, as the Villa is in such a peaceful setting. The location is superb, it's only a few minutes walk to the sea front - and you even have a choice of beaches with totally unique characteristics: The main seafront area has Cafés and restaurants nearby and is perfect for swimming - the walk to get there is very flat and easy. If you head the other direction from the Villa you will find a secluded beach at the foot of the Strunjan cliffs, very different from the main area, highly recommended! It would be easy to spend all your time between the Villa and the sea, but the Villa location is also superb for easy access to Piran and Izola (lots more great places to eat), and it was also extremely easy to head into Croatia for a spot of lunch in Grožnjan (plenty of other places within easy reach too). It's also well worth exploring the hill towns in the local area, we enjoyed a great lunch with a view in Korte as one stop on a leisurely trip to visit interesting Hrastolvje. Overall Villa Aurora is highly recommended, we had a fantastic stay and we hope to return soon! :)

Wunderbare Unterkunft in herrlicher Umgebung und Küstennähe

Die Unterkunft war sehr schön und sauber und praktisch eingerichtet, alles vorhanden zum wohlfühlen und entspannen, ebenso Tischtennisplatte und Sitzmöglichkeiten. Nur 600 m bis zur Steilküste zu laufen mit wunderbarem Meerblick, allerdings von der Unterkunft aus weniger Meerblick als versprochen, aber trotzdem sehr schöne Natur.

The villa was in a beautiful secluded spot. sorounded in nature and quite.

Beautiful villa in a wonderful location. Strunjan is calm and quite with very nice beaches. Also a short drive to all local attractions. You can walk to Piran in an hour or simply stroll around Strunjan and get it away from it all. The villa was clean comfortable and fully equipped and an Easy pleasant walk to the sea. The owner is very easy to talk to and check in was simple.

Tolles Ferienhaus in Naturgebiet mit Badestränden direkt in der Nähe

Wir haben den Aufenthalt in Villa Aurora (Alba) sehr genossen. Vor allem haben wir auf der großen Terrasse gesessen und die Aussicht und die Ruhe genossen. Gebadet haben wir am Hotelstrand und am Naturstrand (Moonbay), die ungefähr gleich nah und beide sehr sauber sind. Mit Fahrrädern sind wir nach Piran, Izola und Koper gefahren. Die Fahrradwege in der Umgebung sind super, vor allem die niedergelegte Bahnstrecke von Italien nach Kroatien. In Portoroz gibt es viele gut sortierte Supermärkte, z.B. Eurospin, Lidl, TUS. Die Vermieterin reagiert schnell auf E-Mails und war sehr hilfsbereit und offen für Verbesserungswünsche.

Just perfect

We (4 cyclists crossing the alps) have had a wonderful stay at Villa Aurora. The villa is perfectly located in the bucolic Strunjan area and in walking distance to the cliffs. The house itself is very well maintained and we didn't miss out on anything during our stay. There even is a table for table tennis and rackets. Ana, the landlady, and her family are very loveable and reliable people. We would always come back!

Epic!!!

Dear Ana, We would like to thank you so much for a wonderful stay at Villa Aurora. We had a great time and made friends with the family in the maisonette next door. The breakfasts at the terrace are unforgattable so are the trips and the beaches and the restaurants near the villa. We wish you all the best and see you in june next year, Fabian

This place is magical!!!

This place is magical !!! What more can one wish for from a getaway spot? Lovely decor to every detail, a front porch perfect for sitting and contemplating, a side area for relaxing and watching the stars, a generally pristine vibe. It's also JUST off the main drag so the food, thrifting, and supplies are only a hop and skip away. Perfect for families, we'll be back. Thank you!!!!!

Lovely house in the middle of nature

We were very surprised by the size of the house, very big with everything you need! Plenty of space to sit and play in the garden. Walking distance to the beach and a lovely restaurant. The town Strunjan in a very nice village in the middle of nature. We visited Ljubjana, Postojna cave, Predjama castle, Koper,Portoroz, Piran, Izola, Skocjan cave, Lipica and we did a bike tour to the salt fields and museum. We went to the adventure park for climbing in the trees. And still enough to see and to do! We did miss our own bikes, next time we will bring them. Everything can be easy vistited by car. We love Slovenia and villa Aurora and will be back!!

Excellent holiday with a variety of options to do

The villa is excellent, there can be nothing better. The house is beautiful, comfortable and equipped with all you need. Also the surrounding area is very beautiful and natural. This is a sub-mediterranean zone with very interesting and rich vegetation, more green than that of Croatia. There is a beautiful path along the top of the cliff. Also, Piran is a very charming city, a must for visit, and can easily be accessed by bus or car (garage). After visiting the beautiful but crowdy Piran/Portoroz you really feel the holiday when you came back to Villa Aurora and listen just to the birds singing. I highly recommend Villa Aurora for all those who love nature and tranquillity, yet there are also some other things to do nearby. Our family (wife+me+2 children) were all absolutely satisfied with our holidays:) Review of beaches: 1. Centre of Strunjan: nice municipal beach with toilets, ice-cream/restaurant, playground for children, the swimming area is organized in form of a swimming pool. A good option for children. 2. 100-200 m away to the right of beach 1. Natural coast under the cliff, stones (shoes recommended), nice swimming in a plain sea. The stony beach is clean. Good option for adults. 3. 200-400 m away to the right of beach 1. Same as (2) but textile-free;) 4. 600 m away of beach 1, also accesible from the top of the cliff. This is a beautiful bay to watch from the top, yet the beach and the water it is not completely clean for swimming. This is a good option for the sunset (at the cross close to the church). 5. You may also choose to swim in Piran/Portoroz/Fiesa. Piran has the most widely open, beautiful blue sea. The walking path from Fiesa to Piran is fantastic.

Lovely peaceful villa

Lovely villa in a peaceful location, within easy walking distance of a pebbly beach. Spacious and well maintained. I would recommend this villa to anyone who likes to be a bit off the beaten track. We enjoyed swimming in the Adriatic. Piran is a gorgeous town, very close. We also visited fantastic caves at Postojna and castle built into the rocks. Looking forward to going back sometime

Villa close by the sea and surrounded by nature.

We enjoyed our stay in this nice villa very much. The house was clean and well equipped (dishwasher and washer) and 2 bathrooms! Airco for hot days! Very nice view and also a very good location to make several trips in the area. Only 1h drive from Ljubiljana. I surely would recommend it to friends and family. We enjoyed also the sea-food in the restaurants at the coast. (Piran and Portoroz)

Thanks a lot!!!

Dear Ana, Thanks a lot from me and all my family !!! The villa is absolutely great, large and comfortable inner spaces, we was living in both maisonettes (8 person), plenty of room for everybody, nicely furnished,toys for kids, games, table tennis... what I can say? everything you may need!.... Veranda is great!, spent there a 1/4 of our three week visit to Slovenia, nice mountain-salt lake view. The location is perfect - 10 minutes walk to the beach, 7 to 10 minutes drive to all the Slovenia's main costal cities, couple of nice restaurants in 10-15 minutes walk, 30 minutes drive to Italy, to an interesting city - Trieste . Villa lies in Strunjan National Park with pheasants, deers and ...... hedgehogs living next to you (A DREAM). The place is absolutely fantastic, quit, relaxing, clean and fresh, making a right atmosphere for vacation! ....I can continue long :)........ We are coming back! We had a great time at Aurora, Thanks to you Ana ! And thank you for easy and pleasant communication! Andrey and Family

Geräumige Wohnung in toller Region

Wir waren mit unseren Kindern (10,13) für neun Tage im slowenischen Istrien und sehr begeistert. Piran und Izola sind wunderschöne Küstenorte, Strunjan sowie Portoroz bieten gute Bademöglichkeiten. Vor allem aber waren wir mit unseren Mountainbikes unterwegs, mit denen wir auch das knapp 10 km entfernte kroatische Istrien gut erkunden konnten; Triest liegt nur 35 Autominuten entfernt. Das Haus wird in den Fotos gut wiedergegeben, es liegt in einem Landschaftsschutzgebiet ca. 1 km vom Zentrum des bis auf seinen hübschen Strand und ein Thalasso-Bad unauffälligen Strunjan. Der Blick reicht über Wiesen, Schilf und Bäume bis zu einer Saline/Lagune. Piran ist knapp zehn Autominuten, das offene Meer ca.1 km entfernt und von der Terrasse aus nicht zu sehen. Die „Villa Aurora“ ist ein recht neues DH, wir bewohnten die hintere Maisonette mit Wohn-Ess-Bereich und großem Duschbad/WC im EG sowie einem kleineren Zimmer mit Einzelbetten, einem Schlafzimmer mit Doppelbett sowie einem Badezimmer mit Wanne/WC im OG. Die Bezeichnung Luxusvilla greift m. E. etwas zu hoch, vor allem die Einrichtung im Wohnbereich mit brauner Couch, einem kleinen grauen Röhren-TV, vergilbtem IKEA-Regal etc. wirkt angejahrt. Doch dafür gibt es viel Platz, schön geflieste Böden, Waschmaschine, Kühlschrank, Geschirrspülautomat, Gaskochfeld, jede Menge Geschirr, Staubsauger, Bügeleisen usw. -- selbst eine Tischtennisplatte war vorhanden! Wir hätten uns lediglich noch Insektengitter vor den Fenstern gewünscht. Im August 2013 hatten wir sehr mit Stechmücken zu kämpfen; Ein Repellent sollte man also einpacken, um die Abende im Freien zu genießen. Als Menschen, die stets bei offenen Fenstern schlafen verzichteten wir auf die bei Buchung vorab zu bezahlende Nutzung der Klimaanlage, kamen bei Temperaturen um die 30 Grad aber noch sehr gut ohne klar. Mit Besitzerin Ana hatten wir lediglich E-Mail-Kontakt. Sie will recht genau wissen, an wen sie vermietet und schickte für die Buchung Formulare mit sehr detaillierten AGBs, dann eine 6-seitige Gebrauchsanweisung für das Haus von der Mülltrennung bis zur korrekten Positionierung der TV-Fernbedienung vor Abreise. Bei unserer Ankunft lag der Hausschlüssel in einem Key Safe bereit. Am Abreisetag lernten wir noch die Eva, die nette Hausdame vor Ort, kennen – wir hatten verschlafen, und sie bot lächelnd an, einfach zwei Stunden später wiederzukommen, was uns Zeit zur Komplettierung der vom Mieter zu leistende Endreinigung ließ. Herzlichen Dank nochmals!

Absolute Gem!

We recently (May 2013) stayed at Villa Aurora and absolutely loved it. The villa is very spacious, clean, and with all the comforts of home. The location is perfect, set amongst a small little area of secluded homes and gardens, yet the ocean and beaches are a 8-10 minute walk from the villa. Directly behind the villa up a small path leads you to the famous Cliffs of Strunjan with incredible views over the Adriatic and with footpaths down to secluded beaches, and great walking/hiking paths. Piran, Izola, and Koper are very short drives, while Lake Bled is a little over an hours drive. We especially loved crossing over into Croatia (30min) to explore some great hilltop villages and our absolute favorite town of the area Rovinj (60min), an incredible beautiful town directly on the Adriatic. Making arrangements with Ana was very easy and it was nice to be able to pick up the keys to the villa at a local hotel (5 minutes away), which means you don't need to be rushing to a prearranged time. Everything about our stay was perfect and we will definitely return to further explore this stunning area. Michael & Terrie, Boston, USA.

Because it is an excellent mixture of ' away from it all' and the 'social life': situated in the middle of the protected Natural Park and yet it is so near all the facilities such as great shopping, cinema, sports and leisure activities .
