Villa PaPe

Almost impossible to find, although the owners very helpfully came and met us (apparently quite common!). The double rooms were smallish with twin beds rather than a double. Everything was beautifully clean and thoughfully furnished. The larger appartments at the front look nicer, have views and balconies, although access to the downstairs terrace and a covered balcony to the stairwell, with table, chairs and a view were a good second best. The decoration of the rooms, stairwell (and everywhere inside that we saw) was lovely, with the added bonus of beautiful pottery and an artists' decorations on the walls. Local restaurant (Leonardos I think), recommended by the owners, was very good value and very friendly with good choice and local dishes; a lovely boat ride to Trogir and another to Split if you want. But the best thing was the friendly, interesting owners who enjoyed chatting and explaining local issues etc. Breakfast was superb. For us, the accommodation was very well placed for all we wanted to do on our first visit, and we hope to return for a longer visit, to explore so many other things we did not have time to do.

The owners could not be more welcoming. The suite was spotless and the view superb. But, it is hard to locate.
