Until now, we have spent two consecutive summer holidays at Gric Villa in Trpanj…
It is for the first time that we choose the same spot for our summer holidays. We usually prefer to go to a new location, but this time I felt that I can go back to the same place and enjoy it like the first time. And I was right.
There's something magical about Gric Villa… besides its ancientness, it also has a particular charm. Everything gives you the feeling of “home”. The smell, the furniture, the flooring, the height of the ceiling, the doors, the smell of the towels, the bed linen, the window shutters and especially the hosts' character. Their way of being, their kindness, common sense, the willingness to give information in order to offer a pleasant stay is like a balm for the guests. They really touch your heart.
Breakfast is served in the garden, under the trees and it contains everything that is necessary to start a good day: warm dishes: omelet, sunny side-up eggs, mushrooms, bacon, coffee, tea; cold dishes: prosciutto, butter, cold meats, several types of cheese, yogurt, fruit salad, homemade comfiture, etc.
The garden is huge, full of Mediterranean vegetation and it is taken care of by the lady of the house with a lot of love and attention.
The beaches are at about 5-10 minutes walking distance, along a high, wonderful cliff, about 1.5 km long, enframed by the sea on one side and by Southern Croatian vegetation on the other side: pine trees, cypress trees, olive trees, palm trees…. The beaches are rocky, with concrete pavements, ideal for those who want to enjoy the quiet, as well as warm clean water such as spring water. Moreover, since the beaches have Northern orientation, there is the possibility to seat under the trees during lunchtime when it's very warm outside, advantage that you don't find very often. And the sunset from Trpanj beaches is absolutely magnificent… Sunset would often catch us on the seaside, when the light, the water and the surrounding nature make your senses explode.
For those who want beaches with little white rocks, easy sea banks and turquoise water, I recommend Duba and Divna beaches, at around 12-15 km distance from Vila Gric. These beaches are iconic for Peljesac Peninsula.
Concerning gastronomy, it is a well-known fact that the cuisine in Croatia is in Peljesac area.Peljesac is also called the “Croatia's pantry of good food”
All these make Gric Villa an excellent choise, where we will return with great pleasure every time.
