What can I say, this place is fantastic.. !
We stayed for 2 weeks and were two families of 4 adults and 4 kids (aged 11-15).
First of all the villa is exceptional. Everything from the beds, furniture, fittings, cleanliness, lights, towels, robes, slippers (yes, fresh slippers!), layout... it's all first class. There is plenty of room and everything is modern. Lovely big walk-in showers.
There is a front patio and balcony, each with seating area and a view to die for. I will never forget that view!
At the rear is an outdoor dining area with the most fantastic wood fired oven/bbq which you have to use. Just watch how it's done from the expert and off you go.
Up to the next level is the heated pool with jacuzzi bubbles in one corner. The pool area has plenty of shade with gazebo and parasols and the like. Also a kitchen area with fridge, hob and sink as well as cutlery and plates, etc. The kids loved this area and would happily spend all day there. There are stairs to gradually enter the pool but there is no shallow end as such. It's an ideal size. I would happily do a few lengths in the morning!
The jewel in the crown of this place is the owner, Bozena and her wonderful family. I have never experienced hospitality like this. She will welcome you personally with fresh food, fridges full of beers, home made pudding. She will help with everything you need... transport, car rental, trips out, food and much more besides. I strongly recommend her offer of a Croatian meal cooked on the fire by her wonderful father in law. I could talk to this guy all night. He is such a nice bloke with many a good story to tell. Watch how he cooks the meal on the fire then have a go yourself later on. Bozena herself is such a happy positive person and nothing is too much trouble. I could supply an endless list of good deeds and spontaneous acts of kindness by this lovely lady. You feel like she has been your friend for years.. !
The location is high up above Omis. From the town you work your way up a zig zag road to the villa. There are also footpaths (can be grassy and rocky) to shorten the route between the roads. The price to pay for amazing views is that you are high up!
I've read some reviews that say you cannot survive without a car... well, we did. We used to walk down into town and get a taxi back up (about £8.70 for minibus for 8 of us). In two weeks there was only one day when the taxi wasn't available, so we just had to suck it up and walk up. No question, it's a bit of a hike. But all in all we didn't feel we missed out. However, if you decide you need a car the arrange through Bozena as she works for a car hire company.
Omis itself is a lovely town with loads of lovely places to eat. Explore the many side streets with lots of hidden gems. 'Nina-ice' is one... oh, the ice cream! 😊
I would highly recommend the rafting trip organized by Bozena and also the zip wires.. ! The scenery is incredible around river Cetina and has to be seen.
So, to conclude.... a wonderful villa in a wonderful location with a wonderful host. How can you better that? 😊😊
