Fair-Excellent. A working shower and better washing machine. (Recommend) Visit old Trogir, old Split and although not in the area Plitvice Lakes were amazing.
Favourite villa moment: Children playing in paddling pool.
Impressed with: It is our second time. The weather, idyllic setting and beauty.Stayed June 2012
Apartment 2 was great. Very quiet, scenic, tidy with beautiful landscaping. Host was very good, very helpful, and friendly. Good language skills in English. Would highly recommend for anyone wanting a base near seaside in North. KRK Island is nearby but need to plan long drives to Istria, Lakes, etc. as they are distant. So best if you want place on seaside to relax, stay put with maybe closer area visits instead. Not sure we would book one place again but maybe stay in several for two nights each so we better see country. Like apartments versus hotels but to ease travel would prefer to stay several places versus so much daily driving. (Restaurants) We liked Nada on Vrbnik on KRK Island and Francopan locally. (Enjoyed) Just relaxing out on grounds in sun with sea facing
Impressed with: Beautiful country. Friendly people.
Not impressed with: Graffitti and satellite dishes on historic bldgs.Stayed May 2012
Excellent. A lovely setting with great access to the sea. The owners could not have been more helpful. They were horrified that one of the air conditioning units was not working (the apartment had one in every room) and immediately arranged for it to be repaired, despite it being a Sunday.
Impressed with: Beautiful coastline, very good value for money.
Not impressed with: Some traffic congestion on the main roads on Saturdays.
Favourite villa moment: Early morning snorkel in the sea!Stayed July/August 2012
Excellent. Very kind manager that lived there, she was fantastic.
Stayed November 2011
It was beautiful and the accommodation and location were really lovely. (The) dramatic landscape and the people were so friendly the weather was amazing. A great place to holiday, still unspoilt and relatively cheap.
Stayed August 200
The apartment was very dark and the lights in the room were not very cosy. Owner was very helpful.
Not impressed with: Food, unfriendly people
Property response: I suppose that they were very dissapointed about the weather, it was raining all the time the whole week, very cold, they had heating on. Regarding the lights: there are 2x ceiling lights ( each with 3 bulbs in) and a lamp beside the sofa bed in the living room, again such a ceiling light and two lamps on each side of the bed in the bedroom...There is also a neon over the sink and one over the electric hob.
Stayed May 2013
It was perfect for our needs, demands and wishes. The only things are: - it is situated in the middle of industrial harbours which does not give the best feelings. But you do not feel any impact in the quality of the environment In general it was a very beautiful villa with an amazing pool and private beach!!! Thanks for this proposal. I already recommended you to several of my friends.
Impressed with: Sealine Nature Food
Not impressed with: People Cleanliness of the country
Recommend: Pizzera Petrus Restaurant Kokaban (or similar) was an excelent seefood restaurant both directly in the town
Favourite villa moment: Relaxing at the pool or beach. It was so quite - no Mallorca-beach-feeling at all. Perfectly for coming down from the stress.Stayed August 2012

Really lovely place with all we could have wanted and helpful information from the owner. Also useful to be not too far from the airport and Cavtat and Dubrovnik.
The agent failed to turn up on the morning that we left, despite our having arranged to meet him there at 9.00. As he had not turned up by 9.30 we had to leave for the airport. I know unexpected things can happen but as he had my mobile number an apology might have been nice!
Impressed with: Everything - scenery, things to do, beaches, food, people...
Not impressed with: The only slight downside is that if you want to travel to other areas, it's difficult with no trains or motorway.
Recommend: Galicia restaurant in Cavtat is superb - great food and service, a lovely location overlooking the harbour and cheaper than eating out in Dubrovnik. We went there twice and thoroughly enjoyed it.Villa comments: This is strange. I never promise to be at the check out at the villa. It is outside in the countryside and on changeover days sometimes I can't make it. I had to meet guests who were arriving at another house. I even met the guests the day before to bring their security deposit back because I knew I wouldn't be able to meet them for their check out.
I am sorry for the misunderstanding, I guess they were definitely expecting me to show up for the check out.Stayed July 2013
Owner was fantastically helpful, going to the trouble of showing us the best places to visit, shop for groceries, and local beaches.
Recommend:Boat trips to the islands are great.
Favourite villa moment: Lounging by the pool while the children had lots of fun playing in the pool/on the badminton court, or on the boules pitch.Stayed August 2013
The property was beautiful and the owners - very friendly and helpful. We'd love to go back. The property is secluded, large enough for a good group of people and the grounds of the property beautiful with the pool and gardens and a great view over the hills.
The property manager was very helpful. They helped up with taxis and airport transfers, and helped us book a great boat trip, which was the highlight of our stay.
It would be helpful if airport transfers could be booked with the agent at the time of booking the villa.
Impressed with: The scenery and very friendly people.
Not impressed with: I honestly have to say, I don't have any negative comments....
Recommend:Chartered boat trip to the Elaphiti Islands where we went to a beautiful restaurant on the water called Kod Marko. Dubrovnik old town. Cafe Buza in Durbovnik - cliff top bar.
Favourite villa moment: The poolside, in the sunshine with a great view over the hills. And showing us the family wine cellar!Stayed May 2013
(Property manager was) very helpful and overwhelmingly popular with everyone. One of our party likes to have a bath and it was unfortunate that there was not a bathroom in the house.
Impressed with: Coastline and people.
Not impressed with: Everyone wants to be paid in cash which is Stone Age behaviour !
Recommend:Nautika (restaurant) was good and renting a speed boat worked well for a visit to the islands.
Favourite villa moment: BBQs at the villa were fun and the catered event that the property manager arranged was spot on.Stayed May 2013
We had an excellent stay and really enjoyed every minute of our stay. Villa was beautiful. Details were all very clear. The only negative was that the wifi didn't work properly in the upper apartment. The owners were very responsive -- we had a problem with the air conditioner in the main bedroom and the son, came out on a Sunday evening at 8.30pm to fix it. Very nice and warm people who went the extra mile for us.
Impressed with: Cost, people and the scenery and beaches.
Not impressed with: Roads very run down and a little bit chaotic during peak season.
Recommend: The bar on the beach has good local food and easy to get to from the apartment. (not suitable for disabled people though). If you're in Omis during July go to the Acapella Concert -- men and women from all over Dalmatia compete --really impressive and unique.
Favourite villa moment: Sitting on the balcony early in the morning sipping coffee and admiring the view :-)
Stayed July 2015
Caretaker was friendly and helpful. I liked that you offered excursions and other things. It is good that you warned about the difficult drive way.
Impressed with: Definitely the national park with the lakes and waterfalls. Was spectacular, one of the best things we've seen in our lives!
Recommend: We liked rafting in Cetina -river, and pirate ruins in Omis. Restaurant by Cetina was also nice.
Favourite villa moment: Eating out in a terrace in the evening and swimming and snorkling in the sea.Stayed June 2013
The website needs to say that it has wi-fi. It also would have been helpful to have an address so that we could have used our GPS navigation.
It worked out well for us but getting to the property down the steep driveway in our big van was very difficult, and we scraped the side trying to get into the parking space. It took some getting used to maneuver the van in and out of the property. That was the biggest problem. The website should let people know that a small vehicle is best to use. Also the house is well equipped, but kitchen needs dish towels.
Caretaker was there to greet us and guide us down or we would have never found it. But once inside she helped us a lot and served us refreshments. She also gave us her phone number and email so that if we needed anything she was available.
Impressed with: Definitely the national park with the lakes and waterfalls. Was spectacular, one of the best things we've seen in our lives!
Not impressed with: Love the beauty - but the people are not too friendly.
Recommend: The little restaurant called Espana just down the road was good food and very nice to us. We didn't realize they didn't take credit cards and we didn't have enough Kuna to pay for our meal (there were 8 of us)! So the owner said, no problem, you can come back tomorrow and pay me! He was kind and trusted us! So that is what we did. We recommend to go there!
Favourite villa moment: We are 8 people who enjoy to be together, so our favorite moments were having meals on the deck, enjoying the view, sipping wine, talking, and watching the sunsets! Also enjoyed walks along the shore and swimming in the Adriatic!Villa Comments: I know about the road but unfortunately we cannot change it although it certainly was a big van. A normal car has no problem. About the kitchen towels they should have asked me. I will make sure more are added.
Stayed September 2012
Beautiful property with lots of different seating areas for sunshine/shade and direct access to our own bit of shoreline, very well furnished, and nicely presented. Really appreciated the provision of food and fruit on arrival, plus the abundance of towels and bathroom products for use during our stay, and lovely cleaner.
Owner was very attentive after a big storm that disrupted the internet service to the property, ensuring it was restored within the day. She got up early to see us off. Very nice lady, who obviously took pride in the property and wanted to give us a good holiday.
Impressed with: Beautiful weather, clean water, lovely islands, good food.
Not impressed with: We found the service in some of the shops/restaurants a bit perfunctory: a cultural rather than personal issue, we assumed!
Recommend: We enjoyed the local tavernas on the seafront in Orebic.
Favourite villa moment: Sitting out in the garden looking out over the sea.
Stayed August 2016
Owners were wonderful, kind and attentive but not invasive.
Impressed with: The Adriatic Sea is beautiful to swim in.
Not impressed with: The Bosnian corridor traffic jam
Recommend: Water taxi to Korcula, most of the restaurants in Orebic were great value- we noticed the difference when we went to Korcula town.
Favourite villa moment: Swimming in the sea
Stayed July 2016
Everything with the villa was absolutely perfect.
Owner was outstanding in every way. She was there to greet us the moment we arrived and had our kitchen stocked with everything from wine and cheese to coffee, eggs, milk, fruit, and bread for breakfast the next morning. She also shared her own bicycles with us and a rolling caddy for carrying groceries from the market to the villa.
Impressed with: The stunning scenery.
Not impressed with: The 2 lane roads that make driving to surrounding areas very stressful. Aggressive drivers in cars and motorcycles passing on curves, roads with no shoulder.
Recommend: The ferry to Korcula is an easy way to see some surrounding areas, and a lovely day trip. We enjoyed all the restaurants - everyone is very helpful with the understanding the menu and the food is fresh and delicious! Our favorite place was a small cafe, Croccantino, on the main seaside road that had coffee, pastries, and the very best gelato. The fresh fruits and produce that can be purchased in the small vendor market stalls is the best we've ever had anywhere!
Favourite villa moment: Sitting outside on our patio enjoying the view and wine.
Stayed June 2015
We have just returned from our holiday in Croatia where we stayed in two of the properties handled by you.
Both places we stayed were really good but particularly the one in Seget Vranjica where we spent the first week. The apartment was absolutely fantastic with excellent terraces to front and side, in a superb location. The owners were kind and helpful and made the whole experience perfect. We just wish we had stayed there longer.
When you go self-catering you always take a bit of a chance on the quality of accommodation. On this occasion it was just brilliant.
Stayed June 2017
It is comfortable, has character, beautiful views and immediate access to the sea. A folder with local information and helpful tips about the property would have been useful. We found owner very friendly and kind. It helped that we spoke German and Italian as she explained she does not speak much English.
Impressed with: The beauty of the coast and the friendliness of the people.
Not impressed with: The outskirts of the towns and the utilitarian buildings.
Recommend: The Ribar in Seget Vranjika is excellent - good value for money, lovely food including very good grilled fish. Also friendly and relaxed. In Trogir, which is a fascinating old town, we liked the restaurant Vranjaka. Visiting the Krka National Park is worth doing, and swimming under the waterfall! if possible, eat beforehand as the restaurant there is rather busy and uninspiring. Split and the Diocletian Palace is definitely worth a visit. We had a lovely meal there at Kod Joze.
Favourite villa moment: One of many favourite villa moments was getting up in the morning and going down for a swim before breakfast.
Stayed September 2015
Impressed with: Beautiful coastline, wonderful historic sites, great sea-swimming, charming, friendly & helpful people.
Recommend: Very well situated for the beautiful town of Trogir, the sights of Split & ferries to the Dalmatian islands.
Stayed July/August 2015
Property is great, absolute bargain for what it is. Views are great, used the pool and BBQ for most of our stay! Information about closest shops etc would have been helpful. Owners were very helpful and prompt.
Impressed with: Sunny, affordable, lots to do.
Stayed June 2016
Very helpful in assisting with our villa selection and communicating with the owner regarding our specific requirements.
Map of the immediate area showing shops/facilities would've been very helpful. There could've been some information on the condition of the road leading up to the villa - part of it could not be navigated without doing a three point turn at the edge of a precipice which could be extremely daunting to a nervous driver. An itemized list of facilities available in the villa (such as coffee machines etc - see below) would've been appreciated.
We enjoyed our stay in this secluded villa with amazing views of the town and Split and generally well-stocked for self-catering. A few small things were missing which would've made the stay quite a bit easier: there were no instructions on the (rather complicated) hot water system except (we think) in German which we could not translate. There was a lack of basic self-catering provision such as bin liners, toilet rolls and washing up liquid. There were dishwashers and washing machines but no detergent, coffee machines but no capsules or instructions. A map and list of facilities in the local area would've been very useful. There was a wasps nest in the guttering next to the upstairs balcony which meant at times we were inundated with flying pests and couldn't use the outside space as much as we would have liked and wasn't ideal with a toddler around. An iPod cable to the amazing stereo system would've been great.
The caretaker was very helpful upon our arrival, provided cot as requested and visited to clean pool etc during the week. When we initially called the number provided for the caretaker, we got through to a Croatian woman who could only attempt to communicate with us in French which, despite several of the party speaking basic French, proved impossible. This was extremely frustrating and stressful when we were keen to just get to the villa after a long day of travelling.
Impressed with: Friendly people, cheap food and booze, lovely seafood, generally great value, beautiful views.
Not impressed with: Road signage was confusing, mosquitos were annoying, sudden torrential downpours/hail storms and strong winds were unexpected.
Recommend: Restaurant Rus in central Zrnovnica was good for a local meal and the owner was extremely friendly and helpful, 0.5 hr walk from villa. Further out, Krka national park was an amazing day trip to beautiful islands, lakes and waterfalls, about 1.25 hours drive from the villa. Omis and Ciovo were great for sun bathing and swimming, and konoba duga restaurant on Ciovo was amazing for steak and seafood.
Favourite villa moment: Frolicking in the pool on hot sunny daysCroatian Villa Comments: detergents, bin liners, toilet rolls are generally not included with self-catering properties. These need to be purchased although often items such as washing up liquid are left behind by previous guests. A list of amenities and appliances are included on every villa page.
Stayed September 2013
Location was rated as Fair as the Villa is quite remote up very steep hills, not for the feint hearted, you really do need to drive everywhere, especially to the shops to pick up basic supplies. For our needs that was ok but for those who might want to stroll to a village or a busier night life it's not really available unless you get taxis to and from the villa.
Caretaker was very helpful, helped arrange for taxis (not easy trying to describe where the Villa was located) and was on hand to help with other queries. She provided a nice welcome after a long day of travelling and was also very helpful when we needed to pick up mosquito bite cream.
Impressed with: Beautiful scenery, very welcoming people, variety of things to do, national parks, historic towns, boat rides all within easy reach by car.
Not impressed with: Not really Croatia fault but hiring the car at the airport took time and meant the start of the holiday was perhaps more stressful than it could have been
Recommend: Restaurant Rus was very nice, the food was good, the staff very welcoming and the portions are generous, especially the Jumbo pizza! Krka National park was a good day out, better to book boat rides as the park is popular and the trips sell out early in the morning.
Favourite villa moment: Relaxing by the pool, the sun hits the pool all day so it perfect for the sun worshippers and with a big umbrella handy for those who like to sit in the shade.Stayed August 2014
Had read about the company in The Times. The road leading to the property is extremely steep and narrow, a nervous and/or inexperienced driver would have serious problems negotiating the route. Owner was delightful, willing to do anything to make ones stay comfortable.
Impressed with: Beautiful coastline, wonderful contrasting mountainous interior, many cultural sites of interest and a friendly population.
Recommend: Loved the towns of Trogir, Sibenik, the island of Brac, the national park Krka.
Favourite villa moment: Views of the island of Brac from the terrace.
Stayed June 2016
Excellent-Good. It really is quite remote confident driving skills necessary. Very nice people, very kind and helpful.
A very friendly service, personal care taken and direct phone conversations (with Croatian Villas) which I appreciate.
Impressed with:How easy and pleasant it is and friendly people. Also the landscape and sea incredibly beautiful
Not impressed with: Mosquitoes.. but they are an international nuisance.
Recommend: Day trip to Orsi evening dinners at the beach restaurants
Favourite villa moment: The thunderstorm at night.Stayed August 2013
We hugely enjoyed our time at the Villa. It has a wonderful location on terraces on a hillside. Visitors should ideally be aware that (a) the road to the property is steep and narrow so ideally the car should not be too wide or (especially) long to aid turning, (b) there may be friendly cats which could be a problem to someone allergic to cat hairs and (c) there is another house immediately behind the villa, though the occupiers were very quiet and discreet and we never even met them.
Owner was exceptionally helpful. She guided us to the property, gave us a free supper on arrival and helped us with places to see and restaurants to try. She was most friendly, helpful and welcoming.
The only problem was that the directions for meeting the owner to find the villa were misleading. They described a turning opposite a hotel which was actually more than a mile from the turning. As a result we had a difficult time finding the owner until a local restaurant gave us a map. Like the owner herself, we strongly recommend you to supply a simple local map to help those arriving - and certainly to change and expand the directions.
Thank you very much for facilitating a great holiday.
Impressed with: Combination of warmth, friendly people, islands, good food and old towns and villages.
Not impressed with: In major tourist sites like Split and Dubrovnik it is as expensive as France or Italy.
Recommend: Sitting on the terrace in the shade of kiwi plants looking at the view.
Favourite villa moment: Sitting at night on the top patio, proximity to the sea, spaciousness of the facilitiesCroatian Villas Comments: We have updated the directions as per your suggestion.
Stayed August 2013
Owners were there to meet us and after showing us around said he was available by text or by mobile, but we didn't need to contact him and didn't have any other dealings with them.
We did ask by email prior to travelling if beach towels were provided and were advised they weren't and therefore brought these with us and when arrived there were actually towels provided.
The only downsides of this property are the lack of a pool, which there would be room to build in the largely unused garden at the rear, but understand this may not be practical given location. Fortunately it wasn't too hot and the sea is close by for a quick dip. The other issue is regarding the privacy of people walking up the steps to the Mali Ston walls, although there wasn't a huge amount of people - we actually caught one lady looking over the wall while we were sunbathing. After some careful locating of the umbrella this gave us more privacy, but a small fence or additional planting would resolve this. The additional of a BBQ would also add to the self-catering facilities.
Recommend: We ate at Kapetanova kuca 5 of the 7 nights we stayed as the seafood was superb and the best in our 2 week trip across Croatia. All others in the village rarely had more than one or two tables taken, but Kap Kuca was full every time we went. Also stagnum in nearby Ston for good thin crust wood fired pizzas, a rarity as usual thick and Italian style.
Favourite villa moment: Drinks on the terrace in the eveningToo many to pick one, we loved the lovely village and fantastic seafood available locally. It was nice to have Ston just a walk away for groceries and morning coffee in the square watching the world go by. Would definitely return and hope Mali Ston doesn't become too commercialised as lots of the properties are currently being renovated.Villa comments: Great to hear people enjoy their stay overall. About the BBQ and more privacy - a big stone BBQ will be ready for 2013 and a fence of some kind to keep people from looking in, so that will be sorted.The pool idea is great but being located within the village walls, planning regulations for the moment do not allow for a pool to be built.
Stayed September 2012
Beautiful old house right amidst the old stone walls of Mali Ston with great views and patio. Villa was very well furnished and decorated. Due to the amount of steps to get to property it is only suited for people who are mobile and don't mind climbing in/out of their villa to do anything. Only negative is villa needs microwave due to location which owner seemed to resist. Only place in world we have visited over last 10 years that does NOT have one. Also owner did not know how to operate her TV which was a real inconvenience-again due to location and steps! Area is very scenic with great local red wines and seafood.
Impressed with: The walls and salt farms are outstanding. Great location to visit Dubrovnik also.
Favourite villa moment: Having drinks /meals on patio overlooking the ancient walls and fabulous views of bay!Stayed August/September 2013
Impressed with: Scenery
Not impressed with: It is more expensive than I thought
Recommend: The 2 restaurants next to each other on quayside in Mali ston...also day trip to Bosnia is well worth it
Favourite villa moment: Lazy day spent sitting near the villa on the steps by the wall with coffee and reading materials
Stayed April 2018
An excellent property, the owner was very helpful and went out of her way to make our stay enjoyable and comfortable. The location was just perfect and Mali Ston was quiet and peaceful without all the normal tacky tourist shops and restaurants.
For some reason I did not receive an email from Croatian Villas with accommodation details and directions. I had to call a week before departure to get details but was dealt with efficiently and quickly.
Impressed with: The natural beauty and that the area is protected from mass tourism. The people were also lovely, friendly and helpful.
Not impressed with: I cannot think of anything it was a perfect holiday.
Recommend: Three restaurants in town, all good although Kapetana Kova was the best with great seafood, good wines and excellent service.
Favourite villa moment: Trips to Dubrovnic, Korcula, Mljet, the walls of Mali Ston and boat trip to taste the famous oysters and mussels straight out of the sea.
Stayed July 2015
There is long term renovation work going on at the building next door and although it is not a constant ongoing noise it might be worth mentioning that there may be a small amount of noise from that from time to time. Generally it is quite peaceful. The owner was staying in the village at the time and has a long term family history there so was always on hand and helpful with any questions. Anything she was not sure of she got back to us with information which was great. We also spent a lovely evening with the owner, friends and other guests which was very nice. We have taken holiday lets before and the only other thing we normally have that is useful is a short note on how to leave the villa on exit. I wasn't sure what was required. And perhaps a little mud map of the village and what is available there and nearby. When we arrived we were met and shown around but it's a lot to process and remember when you've just got there so having a note to refer back to is always helpful.
Impressed with: It is similar to my home country (NZ) in that it is not so busy or developed that you can still pull up at a beach, restaurant or shops and it is possible to get a park easily and it is not all paid parking. How refreshing!!
Not impressed with: The drivers. Would do well with a minimum speed limit so other people aren't forced to overtake slow drivers in crazy places. Some overtaking lanes would be good. Would also be better if people stayed on their side of the road as people didn't pay much attention to the centre line.
Recommend: It is possible to arrange for tours out of Dubrovnik to Mostar in Bosnia Herz to pick you up from the main road near Mali Ston if you request it. Local restaurants in village are good.
Favourite villa moment: The courtyard is a lovely spot for drinks or meals at homeStayed July 2012
Caretakers were fine, not overly helpful but did the necessary. There was no brief though on what to do with the rubbish, we kind of figured it our ourselves.
It would have been nice to have some sun loungers on the veranda and the outside chairs, or rather the cushions for them, were in a pretty sorry state.
Impressed with: Some of the beautiful scenery in southern Dalmatia
Not impressed with: For us most of Croatia was too touristy. Despite the scenery and weather being stunning, we are not sure if we can put up with the masses of people again. Maybe out of season yes, but not during peak season.
Recommend: Hire a small boat to explore the coastline.
Favourite villa moment: Sunset - great views.
Villa Comments: Sun loungers were in the garage so we don’t know how they didn’t see them. As for the garbage, it could happen we forgot to mention that but it is also written on the villa instructions given to guests which also includes local recommendations. All guests have our contact details and are advised to contact us if they need any help or assistance. We are sorry we were not made aware whilst guests were staying at the property as we could have rectified the situation.
Stayed August 2015
Excellent
Impressed with: Views, wheater and food :)
Favourite villa moment: Everytime we woke up, the view was amazing :)
Stayed July 2015
An information pack in the property with useful information about the apartment (e.g. to tell us how the kitchen hot water is heated, as we had to work this out for ourselves) and information on local facilities. Shower heads need to be cleaned/replaced. A follow up visit by agent within first few days would have been helpful. We would have liked a clean half way through the 2 weeks - this is normal in holiday properties.
We suggest you or the owner gives the property a thorough clean/check before the start of each season. For example, we had to wash all items in the kitchen before we used them because they were dirty and the hot water in the bathroom sink did not work initially. We liked the double bed - it was a good size and comfortable, but the screws used in its construction need to be tightened - they are loose and are noisy.
Impressed with: Scenery. Good value. Friendly people. Good quality roads.
Not impressed with: Food, with the exception of fish and seafood which is excellent.
Recommend: Restaurant by the sea at Perna (not sure of the name but it has the fish picnic boat). Villa Antonio Hotel -very friendly. Good buffet and lovely pool. Dubrovnic - worth the trip even though it is crowded. Ston and its wall. Ferries to Korcula are excellent. Ice cream shop in centre of Orebic where all the locals go.
Favourite villa moment: Sitting on the terrace looking at the view and watching the boats etc - amazing.
Stayed July 2015
Villa Comments: We never had any complaints about the cleanliness. I have to admit that when we go to inspect the house before guests arrive, we are not checking each plate or spoon but overall the house looked spotless. When I was taking them to the house I gave them additional clean linens and towels as they were staying for two weeks and showed them around the house. They were asking about the pool, were quite impressed with the ambience and charm of the house. I also gave them instructions to the nearest beach, supermarket and other basic information and suggestions like every time. They were also informed that there is no half stay cleaning but that we will organize a cleaning lady for them if they wish – they said it is not necessary.
On their voucher there was my mobile phone number and I told them not to hesitate to call if they have any additional questions or need any kind of assistance. We don’t go to visit guests after arrival – only on their request. Now I can only say that I’m sorry they didn’t contact me with this while they were here – we would take care of it right away.No one complained about loose screws, shower heads or hot water but I’ll go and check it out and replace/fix what is needed. The previous guests didn't mention anything about the shower heads. The main issue here could be low water pressure in high season but we will double check everything. I apologize for the inconvenience this might cause you.
Recommend: Zipwire and rafting at Omis.
Favourite villa moment: Watching an electric storm at midnight from the patio at the end of the garden above the ocean.
Stayed August 2015
Impressed with: Scenery and friendly people. Great food.
Not impressed with: Nothing much - just got to keep a watch out for the speed signs as the speed limit changes frequently and the signage is not the most obvious at times.
Recommend: Bar at Mimice harbour is 400 m away and a pleasant walk down to the sea. Further afield, there is good choices for eating at Omiš - we liked the Milo restaurant (Restoran MILO, Knezova Kacica 15, Omis 21310).
Favourite villa moment: Beach on the doorstep.
Stayed May/June 2015
Good/Excellent. Caretaker was very helpful.
Impressed with: Beautiful beaches, relaxed vibe.
Not impressed with: The food is less good than Italy/ France, though not badStayed July/August 2014
Our host was fabulous. Charge more money and include toilet paper, dish detergent, dishwasher detergent, beach towels,salt, pepper and sugar.
Impressed with: The beauty of the country and the weather
Favourite villa moment: Sunrise and sunset overlooking the SeaCroatian Villas comment: If you would like a grocery shop to be arranged before your arrival, we can arrange this if you e-mail us a list of products you would like purchased. Payment to be made locally.

Our host was great! Went out of his way to accommodate us.
Impressed with:Endless stunning scenery. Easy to navigate around to enjoy exploring. Culturally interesting. Great value for money.

Thanks for everything we are just back and had a fabulous holiday. Your company made it all very easy and stress free, and the apartment was perfect, so close to everything and gorgeous location. The family themselves were brilliant, couldn't have been more helpful. We will have no hesitation recommending your company and the apartment itself.
Stayed August 2015
The owners were outstandingly obliging and could not have been more helpful.
Impressed with: The scenery, friendliness of the locals, value for money
Stayed August/September 2012
(Caretaker) Extremely helpful. Very satisfied overall however Wifi signal is pretty low which makes it challenging to use properly.
Impressed with: Hospitality from people, good food
Stayed June 2013
Excellent location!!! The owner was wonderful. Very attentive and helpful. Full of information about local restaurants, attractions and excursions.
Better access to wifi - especially for people who may have a work emergency while on vacation
Impressed with: The people, the water and the mountains.
Villa Comments: Router is located on the ground floor of a 3-4 story building. Internet is not strong everywhere so maybe not so good in the bedroom with doors closed. On the terrace/balcony WiFi is usually very good.
Stayed August 2012
Excellent. The location was perfect and the town of Brela was adorable. Also, breakfast was included with our reservation which was a pleasant surprise. We will be back! The owners are fabulous! They had good recommendations of places to go visit and restaurants to try. Very warm and personable as well.
Impressed with: The diversity and the beauty.
Not impressed with: The wine.
Recommend: We frequented Obala restaurant, Gulliver's bar and had our final dinner at Konoba Panorama. All of these places were worth a visit or two.
Favourite villa moment: Soaking in the sunset on our private terrace with a drink in hand.Stayed July/August 2012
Suitable for our needs. Would return to the property if we required group travel accommodation Land line for telephone was not working. Beautiful country. Relax and enjoy
Impressed with: Beauty of the country and Adriatic coast.
Not impressed with: Bank services not readily available.
Recommend: Bar Nautica
Favourite villa moment: Enjoying breakfast and sunsets on the terrace. The entire first floor was enjoyed by all.
Stayed September 2015
Slightly confusing - although the apartment appeared to be managed by the Pastura hotel it was actually owned by Vrilo hotel - so any problems had to be reported to them and we couldn't charge anything at the Pastura.. Cleaning seemed slightly erratic - never sure when they were due so couldn't just leave towels on the floor as requested.
Impressed with: Still unspoilt, good food, cheap and friendly people.
Recommend: Rafting over at Omis. Bracera restaurant for squid chips and lovely salad.Villa Comments. The apartments are not offered the same service as in the hotel so for example they are not cleaned every day, this is not included with self-catering apartments.
Stayed August 2013
The property is very good and may have more confort simply adding dish washer and washing machine. More ovre the air coinditioning system located on the roof is a little bit noisy. People of the hotel are very nice and kind, always helpful.
Impressed with: The beauty of the beaches and the kindness of people.
Stayed July 2013
Excellent. The facilities were great although a washing machine would have been handy! :-) I assumed there would be one so packed light but not the end of the world. The WiFi could not be picked up in apartment 2 and only in the window of the sitting room in apartment 1
Impressed with: The clean water.
Not impressed with: The food.... I was hoping for a bit more authentic food. It was quite bland and salty and the fish was very expensive. Most food consisted of Pizza or food off the grill.
Recommend: Trip to Hercules was worth it to see the old Roman Mine. All the restaurants were lovely and everyone was really friendly and welcoming.
Favourite villa moment: Having al fresco meals with the stunning harbour view and buzz from restaurant.Stayed July 2014
They took care of everything we needed and were very helpful. Brought us a bottle of house wine as well! :) It was wrong check-in hotel. We were told that Croatian villas have not changed this info despite informing about this mistake! Only thing - I didn't like extra fee when making transaction.
Impressed with: Nature, beach & weather conditions
Not impressed with: Rain for two days, but this never can be predictable :)
Recommend: Explore the whole island!
Favourite villa moment: Special offer: 30% discount & complimentary breakfast. Otherwise we would have chosen another villa. Standard offer is too expensive!Villa Comments: Correct check in details have been updated.
Stayed August 2012
It can be quite noisy, in the evening, it's situated above a cafe. And the little town comes alive in the evening. In general yes, good service at the reception of the hotel, the owner of the apartment helped with the removal of the wasps nest, but couldn't help us with the wifi.
We booked an boat at aventur. Boat was somewhat old but working, service was good and most of the time friendly.Thanks for all your help with our special questions, everything we asked for was picked up fast and flexible and friendly!!
Impressed with: Coast, sea, all towns are well kept.
Recommend: Restaurant panorama,Stayed July/August 2012
Really lovely location - overlooking the small harbour at Splitska
Stayed August 2009
Booked 2 property (TG005 and BC021) Both excellent thanks. The owners were very accommodating in both Villas. More info on ferries to Brac at the end of the holiday in order to get our flight out of Split . We managed to get on the first ferry at 5 am in order to catch our flight at 11:00 .
Cheaper than James Villas
Impressed with: Too much to list -all good
Not impressed with: Nothing
Recommend: Too many to list
Favourite villa moment: All of it , we will use you again . We loved Croatia !!Stayed August 2017
Good-Excellent. There was some late night noise from the restaurant/bar below the property. The close proximity of this was not made clear in the brochure description - the word 'nearby' was used.
Impressed with: The weather, friendly and helpful people on Brac.
Not impressed with: Slow service in some Split restaurants - principally those that catered for tourists.Stayed July 2012
Good location, very comfortable apartment. Nice views, beautiful sea and gentle people that speak English or German.
Stayed June 2010
It was a wonderful place to stay - the location was just perfect with the sea just outside our door and the village itself was lovely. It was very near to Trogir which was gorgeous. Owners were exceptionally helpful and welcoming - it was like going to stay with family.
Impressed with: The scenery.
Not impressed with: It was more expensive than I thought it would be.
Recommend: Obviously Krka waterfalls, Trogir, Split, Cetina gorge. Local beer cheap and very drinkable!
Favourite villa moment: Getting up in the morning and seeing the sea outside, going down and jumping in before breakfast.Stayed July 2013
It was extremely hot at night. The air conditioning was only in the lounge and we would have benefitted from a fan in each bedroom. But the advantages definitely outweighed the disadvantages and we would very much like to go there again.
The owners were delightful; they made us very welcome, even though we arrived late due to flight delays. They welcomed us with beer and one day even brought us food.
Impressed with: The beauty, the cleanliness and the roads.
Recommend: Krka National park is beautiful. The wooden walkways are well maintained and the waterfalls into a lake where you can swim were fantastic. Beware of the underwater rocks though; it is quite tricky traversing them to get to the deeper water. Trogir is a beautiful harbour where you can eat and watch the world go by. St Dominik's restaurant was fab.
Favourite villa moment: Looking at the view from the balcony each morning. Glorious. Plus being able to jump into the crystal clear water and cool off.Stayed July 2013
Perfect location - very clean - unfortunately no air conditioning in main bedroom but we got by.
The owners of the property went beyond the normal perimeters of looking after us - I have never met such a lovely couple who went all out to make our stay as enjoyable as possible and more. They were happy to give their all and made our holidays one of our best. Thank you.
Impressed with: Value for money Cleanliness Friendly people The masses have not got there yet.
Recommend: Ribar bar in Seget good quality and value for money. Mountain Bike hire in Trogir located near the wooden bridge - very helpful and can deliver bikes to the apartment.
Favourite villa moment: The location.Stayed July 2013
It was a nice quiet place with a great view.
Stayed October 2011
We loved the location. Owner was very helpful. One criticism that may help further rentals though - The property is really quite difficult to find until you know where it is! We were lucky in the end as the owner met us later in the day and lead the way there. We found them very generous spirited. Great weather, beautiful sea, friendly people, beautiful national parks, great fresh produce market in Trogir.
Stayed May 2011
Prior to our departure staff were very helpful and prompt in dealing with replies. Thank you. The girls who waited for us on arrival and communicated with us during our stay were fantastic. Very pleased with their helpfulness.
Better bed linen could have been provided and maybe some replacement linen so that we could change this mid-week. The property was in a remote area but the location in the bay was lovely. It was peaceful and quite. As the property was quite remote some basic items such as bread/milk/laundry detergent at the property on arrival would have been welcomed.Impressed with: Beautiful sea
Not impressed with: Lack of choice in restaurants.
Favourite villa moment: We just enjoyed being by the sea in a peaceful location.Stayed July/August 2014
