Reviews
Samuel from United Kingdom – 10 August 2024 (10/10)
Firstly the Villa was exceptional. Spotless on arrival, very well landscaped and attention to detail throughout. Our 4 year old daughter loved exploring and findings the small intricacies e.g. the tiny mushroom house, the numerous fruit/veg growing. The pool is spotless and deep enough for adults too.
Secondly, the owners were the nicest couple we've ever met on a holiday. Excellent communication both prior and during our trip. Their attentiveness was outstanding from arrival to departure. As an example, Ante brought us vegetables and wine on 2 seperate occasions during our trip – this is something we've never experienced before and made for a memorable (and very emotional) stay.
Side note, the neighbour is lovely. Despite speaking little English, he brought us freshly picked fruit several times during the week and on our final night, kindly brought our daughter pancakes simply because they were having them for tea. Again, this is a rare kindness and a reflection of the Croatian people.
Lastly, the location is perfect:
5 minutes from Lidl
10 minutes from Sibenik
20 minutes from Skradin
20 minutes from Krka
30 minutes from Vodice
1 hour from Split, Zadar
We genuinely could not have asked for anything more – leaving this place was full of tears. Some real memories made here. Thank you.
What could be improved: Zero negative points – genuinely exceptional throughout.Peter from Hungary – 12 August 2024 (10/10)
Csendes környék a városon kívül, de kocsival 5 perc alatt elérhető a város és bolt is, ugyanakkor az autópálya sincs messze.
What could be improved: Autós közlekedés szükséges. Gyalog minden messze van.Pia from Sweden – 26 June 2024 (10/10)
