Set in the Croatian village of Hiža Bratovici, this spot conveniently locates you near the shops and restaurants of Baderna. However, given its sleepy countryside surroundings, renting or bringing a car is necessary here. Then, you'll be able to explore the local attractions, such as the Roman city of Pula, which is just a short drive away. Featuring an expansive outdoor area with a private swimming pool, terrace bar, swing and play house – you'll find plenty to keep the kids entertained here. Inside, there's also a pool table and darts in the games room, alongside modern interiors and a scenic upper balcony – perfect for snagging a quiet spot to switch off and relax while the kids play.
