Unique and central location
Super cool space with great outdoor space for relaxing either with a drink on the roof or dinner in the outdoor covered patio. We used it as a base to travel to the Tennis Academy and for spending quality time as a family. Easy and smooth communication with owner and local hostess.

Sehr empfehlenswertes Haus - einfach schön!
Wir haben den Aufenthalt sehr genossen. Das Türmchen ist wirklich schön und hat eine unvergleichliche Lage: Direkt am Meer, in der Fußgängerzone,dennoch ruhig (Ende Mai/Anfang Juni). Erfreulich ist auch, dass in den meisten Häusern der Bucht Einheimische wohnen. Man ist also mittendrin und nicht in einem Touristenghetto. Das Türmchen hat ein sehr schönes, großes Schlafzimmer - mit Meeresblick natürlich, auch das Bad hat ein Fenster. Auf der großen Dachterasse kann man relaxen und den Ausblick genießen, ohne selbst gesehen zu werden. Die Liegstühle sind bequem, es gibt Polster und Sonnenschirme. Dort haben wir uns mit Vorliebe aufgehalten. Der Innenhof ist teils überdacht, es gibt bequeme Outdoormöbel. Guter Platz fürs Frühstück oder wenn es regnet oder wenn man Kernschatten haben möchte. Im Wohnraum haben wir uns kaum aufgehalten - warum auch bei dem guten Wetter :-). Die Küche ist schon ziemlich klein. Es ist aber alles da. Wir haben entgegen unserer sonstigen Gewohnheiten kaum gekocht, haben lieber im direkt angerenzende Restaurant gespeist. War lecker - und die Lage direkt am Meer (Füße im Wasser) war einfach nicht zu toppen. Das Türmchen ist größtenteils mit Antiquitäten möbliert. Als Literaturfreunde waren wir angenehm überrascht - die Auswahl an "Schmökern" hatte durchaus Klasse. Wir danken dem Vermieter für die schöne Woche, die wir im Türmchen verbringen konnten, für die gute Kommunikation und für sein Engagement.

Einfach nur toll
Es hat einfach alles gepasst.Der Turm mit der tollen Dachterasse und dem schönen Innenhof,die Ausstattung, die Lage in der Altstadt,alles zu Fuss erreichbar u.a. auch der Strand mit der Africa Beach Bar im Stadtteil Moela. Miz unserem Bollerwagen war der Transport des Gepäcks auch ganz einfach. Wir haben uns rundum wohl gefühlt und würden gerne nächstes Jahr wieder kommen. Vielen Dank

Top Unterkunft
Hervorragende Lage am Meer und direkt in der Umager Altstadt mit zahlreichen Restaurants in der Nähe. Der Turm ist wunderschön mit einer Top-Aussicht auf die Bucht. Die Unterkunft ist sehr sauber und gut ausgestattet (Küche, Duschen/Bäder). Das Highlight ist die Dachterrasse. Definitiv weiterzuempfehlen.

Hideaway und trotzdem mittendrin
Das Haus ist wunderschön, die Einrichtung, das Ambiente und die Lage! Der Innenhof war unser bevorzugter Aufenthaltsort, man konnte trotz Regen auch abends noch draußen sitzen. Ende September ist Umag schon ein bisschen im Winterschlaf, aber genau das wollten wir. Alles ist gut fußläufig zu erreichen und da wir die Fahrräder mithatten, konnten wir auch die Strände in der Umgebung erkunden. Die gesamte Buchung war unkompliziert und alles hat prima gepasst! Wir können den Turm Kuna nur weiterempfehlen!
