“Come and be welcome!!!”

More than perfect stay. Great architecture and lush garden. Beautiful and comfortable rooms with exceptional view. Natural pool is gorgeous and so well mentained that water is diamond clear. Everything in this B&B is spotlesly clean and designed with great attention to details. And the owners make you feel at home. Breakfasts are fresh, deliciously made with loveand great care. Each day different tablescape, each day new menu... Breakfast is almost brunch and all the guest gathering in common table is so welcoming. We could write so much more beautiful things... A really long list... Yes, and don't forget to ask the hosts for advice on best restaurants, things to see and visit!

“Hospitality par excellence 😀”

Well designed rooms and outdoor areas. The hosts are excellent and make every effort to make the stay comfortable and enjoyable.

“Perfect long weekend getaway.”

Everything. Lis & Rob were very hospitable and kind. Breakfasts were delicious. The whole property is absolutely gorgeous.

“Monte Piccolo is a 5* experience- a slice of heaven in the Istrian countryside.”

Monte Piccolo is a slice of heaven in the Istrian countryside. Rob and Lisette have created a piece of paradise, that is further elevated by their generous hosting, and their expertise in healthy food, eating and wine that they share with their guests. The leisurely communal breakfasts (benefitting from Lisette's expertise as a nutritionist and featuring home-grown produce and bread cooked daily by Rob) were a stand out feature of our stay, and really allowed their dedication to wellbeing to shine through. We thoroughly enjoyed the social aspect of getting to know Rob & Lisette and the other guests from across Europe. This was always balanced with the ability to have private/alone time whenever needed. The standard of the accommodation is 5* and immaculately clean. Its position on the hill overlooking the nearby village (with great Konobas to eat out in) and looking out to sea (25 minutes drive away) was stunning, and it benefitted from a constant gentle breeze. Just one of the (many) stand-out features for me was the living swimming pool. It would have been easy to spend a week sitting by the pool and swimming, watching the dragonflies and the swifts at their daily morning and dusk drinking sessions, and just relax and soak it all in. The rooms are very large, the attention to detail and care self-evident: from the fabulous rainforest showers, to the choice of pillows, to the cool bedlinen and the in-room tea/coffee/fridge. Rob & Lisette are very dedicated hosts, with a genuine desire to ensure you have the best stay possible. Don't hesitate to book and visit, if you get the chance- you won't be disappointed!
