There were 4 super cute and friendly dogs, absolutely no need to be afraid of them. Overall, Farmhouse Cubani has a personal environment but you still can have privacy. It‘s a very peaceful place and we would recommend to everybody if you want to have a nice stay. Due to the limited number of rooms you can enjoy the quiet. 10 minutes to the beach 3-4 min to Bale 15 min to Rovinj”
