We had a wonderful stay at this lovely villa and didn't want to leave. Rino is such a kind and helpful host, he even met us at the airport in the evening so we could follow him to the villa (after I said I was nervous about driving in the dark on arrival.) The location is excellent, a 10 minute walk down the hill to the supermarket, local pizzeria and bus stop. We got the 37 bus into lovely Trogir and back during our stay (which stops at Spilt airport en route & ran every 20 mins). There are a couple of other cafes and restaurants within walking distance and larger supermarkets are a 5 minute drive down the road. The 37 bus in the other direction goes to Spilt but we got the train instead - the local train station is just a few mins walk up the hill from the villa. The trains are fairly infrequent but journey time is only 15-20 mins and Split train station is right by the main harbour. Much more convenient than the bus, which drops you a 15 minute walk away from the main area. You could easily get by without a hire car but we like to explore. We booked with Nova who get great recommendations. We drove to Zadar, Sibenik, Plitvice NP and across the border for a day in Bosnia. Croatia is such a beautiful country. This fully equipped villa is the perfect place to base yourself, whether exploring far and wide, or just spending time relaxing by the pool in the lovely garden. Thank you Rino - we have wonderful memories of our time there. :-)
