From the moment we arrived at the airport, Dario was incredibly helpful and friendly, he took us to the villa and gave us a tour explaining everything. During our stay he made us feel very welcome and nothing was too much trouble, he gave us lots of advice on where to visit and recommended restaurants etc.
Blue Villa is stunning, it has been very well designed with a lot of thought being given to the layout and everything is finished to a very high standard. The views from the villa are amazing, you can see Split and the islands and all the little villages below. At night time it is especially beautiful with all the lights. The outside area of the villa has plenty of choice of seating areas for dining with a great BBQ, sunbathing and a protected area out of the sun. The pool is a good size and kept at a pleasant temperature and regularly cleaned.
You definitely need a car here, to visit the local supermarket and surrounding areas. The villa is up on the hillside above the town of Kastel Stari, approximately 10-15 minutes from the airport and 20-30 minutes from Split. The Kastel Stari train station is 5 minutes from the villa and very useful,to get into Split if you don't want to drive and takes you right into the centre of the old town. Kastel Stari has a lovely beach with a few shops, restaurants and bars. There is plenty to do here or close by, we visited the Krka national park and waterfalls which were beautiful, but get there early as it gets very busy, it takes about 1 hour 15 mins by car. From Split you can take the ferries over to explore the islands or take a boat trip. The town of Trogir is also beautiful and close by.
I would highly recommend this villa and the outstanding welcome and friendliness of the owner Dario. We will definitely be returning at some point in the future.
