Nothing, EVERYTHING AMAZING IN "HAPPY VILLA"

Gastgeber Qualität ist perfekt, aufmerksam, hilfsbereit...kann man uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen!

Ich finde, obwohl ich viele Inseln und Urlaubsorte besucht habe, meine ich, dass Brac die schönste Insel ist, die ich je besucht habe. Die Wohnung ist mega schön, ebenfalls gut ausgestattet und durch die Klimaanlage super angenehm. Die Vermieter haben uns am ersten Tag sehr gut empfangen, da gab es sogar einen Umtrunk meiner Wahl. Dann fühlt man sich schon gut aufgehoben. Außerdem, für jede Frage die wir hatten, waren Sie sehr aufgeschlossen und konnten bei allen helfen. Der Vermieter ist sogar mit uns Boot gefahren und hat 1 Tag vor der Abreise für uns gekocht. Wir waren hier sehr gut aufgehoben und wir hatten sehr viel Vergnügen, an dem Pool und Whirlpool. Den Kindern hat es besonders gefallen. Die Anlage ist gepflegt und es gibt überall selbstangebaute Kräuter, welche man selber gerne zum kochen nutzen kann. Wir kommen wieder, ganz sicher. Vielen dank, für den schönen Urlaub.

We were excited to stay at “Happy Villa” and had planned our entire trip around the promise of an authentic Croatian experience. There were some positives worth mentioning: The host was kind enough to drive us to the supermarket to pick up groceries, and later also dropped us 2km to our next accommodation. He also agreed to refund us for the unused nights when we chose to leave early, as he didn’t want it to affect his ratings.

Unfortunately, despite our initial excitement, we ended up leaving the accommodation three days early as we didn’t feel comfortable during our stay. One of the main reasons we chose this property was based on reviews that described a relaxing experience with attentive hosts, the hosts, who said they don’t live on the property although would be available if needed. When we arrived, Irina showed us around and pointed out the areas we could use, including a small budget jacuzzi on the left side of the property that was not shown in any of the booking.com photos. There is another unit upstairs (unoccupied at the time), and we were happy with the idea of sharing the pool and jacuzzi with other guests. However, the shared spaces were instead regularly used by the hosts’ family, including school-aged children and their friend playing ball games. While we understand the pool and jacuzzi are communal areas, it felt like we were under constant observation, as the family frequently ate meals overlooking those areas. We also experienced a significant lack of privacy. John was often gardening right outside our bedroom windows from 7 a.m., washing his car in our view, and at times even interrupting private conversations. By the second day, it became clear that the reality of the stay didn’t align with the glowing online reviews, and we decided to leave early. There was no “in-house bar or lounge” or sauna for use as stated online. Additionally, we had requested a cot for our baby months in advance, but it wasn’t located until halfway through the first day as they “couldn’t find it” When we did receive it, it smelled strongly of mildew from storage. We had to scrub it with detergent and air it out before our baby could sleep in it. After we left, one of the hosts called to say we had left the kitchen in a mess, which we found quite upsetting. Before leaving, we had run the dishwasher, taken out the bins, and I even swept the floors the night before.

Amazing apartment. Such good value for money. Lovely little pool and hot tub! John and Irina were so thoughtful and we were so looked after. John (a chef) made bread with my keen baker daughter (10 years old) which she loved. We were able to borrow a paddle board too and walked down the steps (5mins) to be in the sea! The kitchen was really well equipped so we ended up cooking and eating on our beautiful terrace more than we expected. We will be back, I’m sure.

We liked everything but definitely recommend having a car to get around.

Wonderful property with everything and more you would need. The hosts were amazing and ensured we had all we needed and provided advice about where to visit whilst on Brac. Beautiful island and stunning property.

Nothing!

Super friendly and helpful host, comfortable and clean apartment, great view. We'll come again!
