Kevin from United Kingdom – 14 September 2023 (9/10)
It was self contained and modern
What could be improved: No pool but i knew that when i booked it. To be fair, it was a great place.Sima from United States – 23 August 2023 (10/10)
Everything was perfect. Hosts were wonderful and property and location were great.
Terri from United States – 20 August 2023 (10/10)
Beautiful
What could be improved: Location and our hostPeter from United Kingdom – 17 August 2023 (10/10)
Fabulous location just a short walk south of the old town. The views across to Lokrum island from our terrace were a great background to breakfast and early evening cocktails. Close to a great little beach that offered wonderful swimming with views across the bay to the old town. The apartment itself was very comfortable with quiet, effective air con plus evident investment in brand new coffee machine, cooker and dishwasher plus fabulous shower! Finally, there is Maja herself who was great leading up to the visit with excellent communication and also when we were there in terms of restaurant recommendations and reservations and the very welcome bottle of chilled wine on arrival. We spent 8 very contented days here.
What could be improved: Nothing. Only observation (and it is a small detail) the kitchen could perhaps do with a few more kitchen utensils as it would be difficult to to do anything beyond very basic meal preparation at the momentStephen from United Kingdom – 31 July 2023 (10/10)
The location was excellent, close enough to walk to the old town but far enough away to get free from the hustle and bustle.
What could be improved: NothingDawn from United Kingdom – 18 July 2023 (10/10)
Location was excellent for old city, beaches & supermarkets.
Accommodation was spotless! Had character. Very homely. The kitchen was modern with fridge, kettle, mini dishwasher etc. Air conditioning most welcome! Fabulous balcony views over the bay. Beautiful bathroom with lots of extras and 2 large bedrooms with king size beds & crisp white linen. Plenty of storage.
Hostess was exceptionally accommodating; couldn't do enough to help. Welcome wine & beer on arrival, chocolates on leaving. Arranged airport taxis for us. We were met and shown round on arrival & given they keys, and our luggage taken up to our apartment.
What could be improved: Fine for us, but the property would not suit anyone with mobility issues as there are lots of steps up to and around the apartment.
A minor detail – Kitchen would benefit from more plates, cups & cutlery to make using the dishwasher more economical.Ann from United Kingdom – 10 July 2023 (9/10)
Everything! Very large bedrooms, beautiful villa, high ceilings, lots of original features, comfy beds, air con, satellite tv. Hosts are friendly and helpful. Balconies with stunning sea views of Lokrum Island and old town in distance. Didn’t want to leave!
What could be improved: Really nothing, a minor consideration for perhaps a family who might prefer to cook is small kitchen facilities but for couples and those who prefer to eat out no problem at all.Warren from United Kingdom – 3 July 2023 (10/10)
The location was good, just 600m from the Old Town.
Lovely Host(ess) who could not be more pleasant, friendly and helpful.
Good sized apartment which was nicely decorated, furnished and air conditioned.
Views to the sea and access to beaches (downhill)
Nice place to stay and I would stay there again myself and recommend to others
What could be improved: Rather narrow road without pavement for first 300m of walk to Old Town.
