· By Lovely Istria
Our website lovelyistria.com scored 90 out of a possible 100 points and shared second place among 207 tourism websites in Croatia, according to the Croatian Web Index survey for November 2026.
We're proud to share the news that the website of our tourism agency, Lovely Istria, achieved an excellent result in an independent survey of the digital quality of Croatian websites, carried out by the company Hiperlink Digital.
As part of the Croatian Web Index – November 2026 survey, which covered 207 websites from the tourism sector, Lovely Istria achieved an overall score of 90/100 and shared second place in the Tourism category.
We're especially delighted to find ourselves at the very top of the rankings, alongside established tourism companies such as Maistra, Plava Laguna and Liburnia Riviera Hoteli.
Among the best in Croatian tourism
The survey was carried out on 4 and 5 November 2026, and websites were assessed according to five key technical criteria: speed, accessibility, search engine optimisation (SEO), security, and privacy and email settings.
Lovely Istria achieved the following results:
- Website speed: 94/100
- Accessibility: 97/100
- SEO optimisation: 92/100
- Security: 100/100
- Privacy and email: 67/100
- Overall score: 90/100
For comparison, the median score of all 207 analysed tourism websites was 71 points.
First place went to Liburnia Riviera Hoteli with 91 points, while second place, with 90 points, was shared by Lovely Istria, Maistra and Muzej mamurluka.
Investing in a better digital experience
This result comes shortly after we launched the new Lovely Istria website, developed with the aim of making it easier to search for and book holiday homes with private pools in Istria.
When developing the new website, we paid particular attention to loading speed, clarity of content, mobile usability and security.
Today, through our website, guests can browse our range of villas, compare amenities and locations, check availability, and send an enquiry or book their desired accommodation.
The high scores for speed, accessibility and security confirm that we have laid solid technical foundations for further development.
What does this result mean for our guests?
For us, website quality isn't just a matter of technical scores. It's important to us that guests can quickly find the information they need and easily choose the right holiday home.
The high accessibility score shows that our website meets a large part of the standards assessed, which make it easier for different groups of visitors to use.
Good loading speed is especially important for guests searching for accommodation on mobile devices, while security settings are an important part of a reliable digital environment.
Although this kind of survey doesn't cover every aspect of the user experience or the entire booking process, the results are valuable confirmation of the work we've done so far.
We continue to develop Lovely Istria
Since our agency was founded in 2015, we have focused on offering carefully selected holiday homes and villas with private pools in Istria.
Over the years, we have developed our offer, our cooperation with property owners, and our services for guests. The new website is another step in that development.
Second place in this survey is, for us, recognition of our work so far, as well as encouragement to keep improving the website, especially in areas where there's room for improvement.
We thank all our guests and villa owners for their trust.
We look forward to the new tourist season and to the chance to help you find the perfect holiday home in Istria.
