Holiday houses in Duino

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Tom’s and I can’t recommend it highly enough! The apartment is thoughtfully decorated and impeccably clean. From the fully stocked kitchen to the comfortable living and sleeping areas, every detail has been taken care of. The little charming city of Cres is just 20min away (by car) and had everything we needed - supermarket, ATMs, great restaurants and cafes and even two real beekeeper’s shops, which we especially loved. The island itself is a true paradise for nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts. One of the best beaches is just 10 minutes away and with all the singing birds and deers casually walking around the house, we felt like we were in a real wild paradise. Our dog was extremely happy too! And what truly sets this experience apart is the incredibly hospitable mother of Tom, Blazhena. She went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect. Her warm personality and genuine care for her guests create an unforgettable experience.

When we booked Klaudia’s place a few months ago, Cres was just a name on a map—but what we found was a hidden gem. Beli village is truly special: full of soul, history, and wild, untouched beauty. We hiked through ancient olive groves, swam in quiet coves, and watched griffon vultures soaring overhead. The nature here is unforgettable. The house was perfect for a relaxing family holiday. Our children loved the jacuzzi, and we enjoyed meals out on the terrace every day, blessed with beautiful weather. Aaron was so kind and helpful—waiting up for us when we arrived late and helping with our bags. And thank you to Klaudia for checking in when we missed the last ferry from Brestova. (A tip for future guests: check ferry schedules in advance—we didn’t, and had to drive an extra 1.5 hours in the dark to Valbiska. Thankfully, we still made it across.) We came looking for rest and are leaving with full hearts. Thank you for sharing your lovely place with us.

If you're looking to isolate yourself a few days from the top of a small peaceful village bordered by mountains and vineyards, Villa irena is for you! Satisfaction and rest guaranteed!

We had a great stay. Very close to the ocean and walking distance from restaurants, shops and bars.

We had a very pleasant stay, starting with the warmest welcome I ever experienced with an Airbnb. We had enough privacy during our stay and enjoyed the beautiful outdoors with a river swimming spot just across the road. The immediate vicinity of the train wasn’t a problem. We would definitely come back!

Everything was great, highly recommend to stay here!

Very nice, well equipped house, the pool is great! The host was really super nice and helpful. Someone was always available right away. We were very pleased!

Were her for a second time and for sure we'll be back again. Beautiful place, nice, feels like home, beautiful peaceful garden and great communication with host. Worth the price we paid.

FANTASTIC!! The home was absolutely beautiful, the views, and the pool. Thankful for the host for being so great, responsive to any messages, and ensured we got settled in okay as well. 10/10 recommend!
