Luksusvilla med pool, direkte adgang til strand og anløbsbro, fantastisk 270 ° havudsigt

We stayed for 1 week in July.. A family group of 7. The location of the villa couldn’t be better - a stunning bay with crystal clear water, very safe for children. There are two kayaks with life jackets for the kids and they loved paddling over to the other side of the bay and snorkelling. The eating area is simply stunning - the perfect spot for breakfast or a lazy dinner. The pool is small but with great views. The two outdoor power showers were excellent. Katy and Tonci had arranged for a local man to bring us groceries each morning so we barely had to leave the villa. The short taxi ride to Vela Luka is so easy and the little town is charming. We had some super dinners, linches and insane ice creams at Diana! This place is a real treat in every way.

Our first trip to Croatia. Nature is stunning. Villa is beautiful and ideally positioned for breathtaking views. Being there out of season means that choice of restaurants and services are limited. But the gorgeous scenery makes up for that!

Wunderschöner Ausblick, tolle und ruhige Bucht, schöner Zugang zum Meer. Die Villa selbst ist sehr sauber und mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Achtung: ein Motorboot/Tretboot ist nicht vorhanden. Macht aber auch nichts, da man ausgiebig schwimmen, schnorcheln, paddeln (Kajak), wandern und die Seele am Pool (schöner Salzwasserpool) baumeln lassen kann. Katy brachte auch 2x Kuchen (yammi). Rückfragen während des Aufenthaltes wurden sehr schnell und super freundlich beantwortet. Vielen Dank an Katy und Tonci.

Villa: Pretty, spacious and well equipped villa, really felt like home from home. Spotlessly clean and well maintained, enhanced by Katy's artistic touches.

Grounds: extensive landscaped gardens, choice of terraces, balconies and tranquil spots, beautiful pool area, outside showers, fab BBQ. Add a private mooring jetty and beach area,complete with sun beds and kayak..what more can you want?

Setting: on a small headland commanding 270 views of the beautifully tranquil, wooded bays and islands out to sea. Breathtakingly gorgeous.

Service: nothing is too much trouble for Katy and her family. Its her home as well as her business.

Local Area: Pretty Vela Luka 10mins away by car, Supermarket on the outskirts. Don't miss the daily fish/produce market. Ask if you can't find it! Everyone speaks English and people are v friendly. Car hire and taxi companies couldn't be more helpful. Ferries from Vela Luca to Hvar, Split etc.

Plenty of restaurants/bars . Try "Bata" restaurant for excellent local food.

Korcula town ("little Dubrovnic" definitely worth a visit) is at the opposite end of island, we found it quite a trip by boat and went by car the second time, which was quicker!

Proizd island with its white pebbles and crystal water is a short boat ride away

Tips:

The mooring at Villa Katy has a lazy line, so you don't need to worry about dropping an anchor.

If you are waterskiing from Villa Katy make sure you stay at least 200m from the shore for safety of any swimmers and so as no to disturb the "neighbours" (not may of those about!)

Friendly local families occasionally picnic/swim on the adjacent foreshore. The shoreline belongs to Croatia, so they are entitled to do so but they are very careful not to wander onto private land, and are absolutely no trouble.

We drove a charter boat from Split to Korcula this year but it was 3.5hrs each way and guzzled so much fuel. Next year we'll catch the sea plane (18minutes) to take the ferry is which is only £7 pp
