We booked this property without reading any reviews so we were a little bit nervous but we had no need to worry. The property is 1 hour drive from Split airport and 20 minutes from the main town of Omis. It’s in a quaint village in the middle of the mountains - so peaceful and beautiful. Sitting around the pool and star gazing at night was delightful. The property was clean and had everything we needed.
Omis has everything you could possibly want - adrenaline activities (we recommend zip line and white water rafting!), private or group boat trips to the islands or up the Cetina river, kayaking, walks/hikes, quaint old town streets, fortresses, historical architecture, good restaurants, beaches and beautiful scenery. It really is stunning. We did a day trip to Split old town (1 hour away) and Krka national park (1.5 hours away). Both were worth visiting. Krka gets busy in peak season but we arrived just before 4pm when the price is cheaper and fewer people. We also visited lots of quiet and beautiful coves about 30 minutes away - just stop where you can and find a way down!
But the best bit of our holiday was the host - Duje and his family. Duje, his wife Ana, his neice Sanja, and mum Mila were all there to greet us when we arrived. Sanja speaks excellent English and was our main communicator. They had laid out a tradition Croatian lunch of meats, cheese and olives for us and best of all offered to cook a tradition peka for us one evening. It was amazing food and wine and so lovely getting to know them all. Sanja’s cousin Dea also came along. Mila lives next door and was always available to take us into the garden to pick vegetables, or we could do so ourselves. We had so much food to cook! She is the most generous and lovely neighbour you could want and always on hand to help if you want it. We shared a couple of lovely evenings having a drink with her (with the help of google translate!) She also respected our privacy if we wanted that. Sanja was always available when we texted or called her if we had any questions. She booked activities for us and gave lots of recommendations. It is clear that the family really care about their guests and making sure they have a fabulous time, which we did. We would not hesitate to go back or recommend this place. A gem of a find. Thank you so much Duje and family!
