After much research, we (5 adults) decided to celebrate my mothers 60th birthdays at Villa Maruka. Sanja is so very helpful, answering many questions I had over email and always quick to respond. The Villa has been tastefully brought back to life, with lovely furniture and decor to suit. The beds are very comfy, I have a bad back and found them to be fine for me. The kitchen may be on the smaller side but is very well equipped. We enjoyed the outside eating area everyday. Housekeeping was kept at a high standard throughout our stay, lovely lady. The many bathrooms were great to have with 5 adults. Sanja arranged for a fabulous masseuse to visit the villa for pool side massages, perfect holiday treat! We experienced a power cut one evening, which we didn't mind. Sanja came to check on us and informed us power was out in the whole village, which was thoughtful. We enjoyed star glazing by the poolside that night. Plenty of hot water when all the bathrooms were in use at all the same time. The local shop has everything you may need and fresh bread every morning. We did visit the larger supermarket in Supetar for a big shop. We ate most nights in Supetar, although we did visit a few nearby towns also. A car is definitely useful, unless you don't want to leave the villa during your stay. An evening stroll in Milna was lovely. Also visited Pucisca and Bol. Bol, yes the beach is amazing but we preferred the monastery side. There is a lovely cove beach and a few good restaurants that end. We really can't faulty any part of our stay at Villa Maruka. We would love to visit again one day. There is the villa name and star rating just as you enter the property, don't know why this is only 4 stars!! Needs to be more. We even had a homemade birthday cake waiting for our arrival, which was delicious and my mother was very touched by this lovely gesture. Thank you Sanja for all your help and advise. Lisa, Simon, Tally, Theresa (the birthday girl!) and Jim.
