Reviews
We have not been to the mentioned facility. We visited the beach next to this facility because it has a pier. And as for the sea, beautiful and wonderful.
Great hosts, everything went smoothly, a great place to relax in a larger group and for families with children, 10 m to the beach
The accommodation was perfect for us and the hosts are very friendly and helpful. The beach is right in front of the house, so we really enjoyed the crystal-clear waters and the privacy of that location. It really is a special place for those who want to get away from it all.
This is a beautiful place. I've stayed in this house several times over the past years and the island is especially magical in fall when there is nearly no tourists around. Air cools, while the sea keeps welcoming warm sometimes into December. Remote beaches are totally empty and then there is the sauna and Kneipping in the bay with no chainsaw needed :) Experiencing a Finish summer in Dalmatian winter at the sea is absolutely surreal!
This is one of my favorite places, an island of great diversity and contrast. The housing is clean, private and the staff is very friendly. The beach is right there, a great place for swimming and a beautiful place of relaxation. Enjoy the beauty of nature. Totally recommend. Zadar
