A nice, very calm experience to get away from big city life. The work(taking care of the animals, riding, sometimes other stuff as well) was very little at the time I was there, but if you know how to keep yourself busy this should be no problem. The surroundings are very beautiful, but also off-grid, so you should be aware that there is no public transport and you'll have to take the bike or arrange a ride with one of the neighbours to the next town (Labin). I had a pleasant stay, met some locals, went to the beach, learned about croatian culture and got to ride a lot, which was great!

I just can't recommend. To make it short: the horse lives alone what isn't good for horses, he isn't well trained and don't hear to English signals, it's nothing to do but Jasmina still blames you to see this as holiday, I didn't feel welcomed, everywhere is the stink of cigarettes even by eating. And the best: she dropped me out on street at 9pm when I told her that I have to leave early because of my university. Just don't recommend
