Guest Reviews
- Tea (9/5): -
- Eeva (9/5): Olisimme viihtyneet pidempäänkin. - Erinomainen sijainti.
- ERIC (8/5): - Emplacement top. Plage de l autre coté de la route
- Christina (10/5): -
- Frédéric (8/5): Villa très accueillante et bien située. - Idéalement situé. En face de la plage et proche des commodités. Stationnement dans la rue pas toujours disponible.
Bouilloire non utilisable car forte senteur de vinaigre.
Absence de savon douche.
- jcz (9/5): Velmi příjemné místo, odpočinek i zábava, stinná pláž 1 minut, chládek v ložnici i bez klimatizace. - Rodinné ubytování se zajímavou historií (bývalý majitel, doktor, ze Sušic...). Příjemní majitelé, anglofonní, rád se do villy opět vrátím. Malá stinná pláž 1 minutu od moře. Výborné posezení v chládku pod zelení. Všude blízko, procházky okolo moře (živá kultura, spousta restaurací, centrum 2 minuty na jedno centrum, 10 minut na druhé centrum, 15 minut pěšky zastávka na autobus 37 Trogir-Split, tři prodejny do 5 minut, bankomat 100m, malé centrum s pěkným hrádkem, lékarna za rohem). Oceňuji klidné spaní v patře, kde je i ve vedrech chladno bez klimatizace!!! Ocenil bych lepší lampičky v patře, kvůli čtení v posteli. Považuji za důležité, aby majitelé předem upozornili v popisu ubytování na malé točící schody do patra. Pro starší osoby by to mohl problém.
- Jane (10/5): - Excellent location with great view. Swimming literally just outside! Nothing.
- Jon (9/5): -
- Celine (9/5): Bonne adresse familles, bien située. - L’accueil chaleureux et classe de la famille. La situation est vraiment top et pratique. Logement très propre et confortable.

- Lincoln (10/5): Exceptional -
- Tamás (10/5): Beautiful seaside Villa. - We were here for the second time. Friendly owner. The accommodation is directly on the beach. Motorcycles could be parked in the yard.
Thanks for everything! -----
- Leonor (10/5): - O quarto muito limpo e tudo novinho, a recepção é meio bagunçada, cheia de coisas desorganizadas , levei ate um susto , mas quando entrei no quarto, tudo muito arrumado, limpo e espaçoso. Super recomendo
- Pascal (6/5): Bien - Mignon et proche de la mer mais l'endroit est tristounet . Une clim dans la chambre principal etait en panne , peu d'eau chaude mais le reste est tres bien
- Jan (10/5): top location opposite the beach - Beautiful studio on the beach in a beautiful neighborhood. From your hotel you walk to the sea. very helpful owner,
- Dirk (10/5): Herzlicher Empfang mit authentischer Atmosphäre - Sehr sehr herzlicher Empfang!
Alles bestens für die Kategorie. Gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis
- Julie (4/5): Disappointing stay !! - I’ll start with the good…the hotel was clean and well equipped within the rooms for a stay. The property is located a few metres from a very small strip of pebbled beach.
We feel very misled re the property description. We chose this property as it had ‘on site parking’ available which was very important to us with expensive bikes in our vehicle. On arrival it was obvious there was NO on site parking only parking in the road (not secured). I asked the host where the parking was and he directed me to the roadside parking. Straightaway we were then asked to pay for our stay CASH ONLY which we didn’t have. Only to be advised where the local cash point was. There was NO restaurant, NO coffee shop/cafe or beach bar on site !?! We were not also made aware of any common area for tea/coffee. We’re astounded that these things were listed and it feels nothing other than being misled !!
The front desk was not OPEN at all through our stay, it states it’s open 2-8 pm. When we turned up (hoping to have lunch at the bar) I had to call up the stairs for attention as desk area was chained up.
The general area felt quite lacking and with our disappointment at this place our trip wasn’t what we’d hoped it to be. We looked at Trogir…a much better option if you’re looking around this area.
I hope this honest feedback helps others

- Kristen (3/5): An Honest and Considerate Review of Villa Šoulavy - I must admit that my experience at Villa Šoulavy was not in alignment with my initial expectations. It is with a sense of responsibility that I share my observations, aiming to offer a balanced and fair perspective on my stay. I make a point of only leaving good reviews, but this time I want to inform other travelers of the issues I wish were known to me before booking.
Firstly, the discrepancy between the property's description and the actual experience was rather notable. The photos and description provided on the booking platform did not entirely match the reality I encountered upon arrival. This variance in expectations was, regrettably, the first of several issues.
Upon arrival, I was taken aback when the owners requested payment in cash. This requirement had not been explicitly communicated during the booking process, and it did catch me off guard. Clarity regarding payment methods is an essential aspect of any accommodation, and the expectation of cash payment should have been clearly stated in advance.
One of the most concerning aspects of my stay was the unpleasant smell within the building. It is my belief that a hospitable environment should offer a clean and odor-free atmosphere, which regrettably was not the case at Villa Šoulavy during my visit. Perhaps the most unsettling aspect of my stay was the feeling of intruding upon the owners' space. I had booked what I presumed to be a small apartment, but it turned out to be a much larger space located within the owners' home. While I am open to quirky and unique accommodations, this particular setup made me feel rather uncomfortable. It's essential for a guest to feel at ease, and in this case, the setup detracted from that experience.
Moreover, I noted that the property may pose challenges for guests with mobility issues due to the presence of a spiral staircase that can be quite awkward to navigate, especially considering the beds are upstairs and the toilet was down. While quirkiness can add character to a place, it should not compromise accessibility, particularly for those with specific needs.
Regarding the location, while Villa Šoulavy is indeed close to a beach, it was not a particularly appealing one. Furthermore, reaching restaurants and nicer beaches required a 30-minute walk, which may not be convenient for guests seeking a more central location.
Finally, it was perplexing to me that Villa Šoulavy had received positive reviews in the past. Upon further inquiry, it became evident that the property had changed hands multiple times, which could explain the inconsistency in reviews. At the time of my review, it appears that the property is currently unlisted, further contributing to my sense of disconnect.
In conclusion, my stay at Villa Šoulavy left me with mixed feelings, primarily due to the discrepancy between expectations and reality, the requirement for cash payment, and the overall discomfort of the accommodation setup. It is my hope that this review will contribute to a more informed decision-making process for future travelers, while also serving as constructive feedback for the property owners to enhance the overall guest experience.
- Stefan (10/5): - Sehr nette Gastgeber. Meer vor der Tür. Restaurant, Bus, Bank und Shop drei Minuten entfernt.
Urig und ruhig 😎
- Barney (10/5): Exceptional - Nice people nice place beautiful building Nothing
- Goran (10/5): Exceptional -
- Verified traveler (6/5): Discreto - Siamo stati 4 notti in questa struttura,posizione eccellente la camera molto vecchiotta ma con tutti i confort. Il check-in perfetto siamo stati accolti dai proprietari...ma poi nei giorni a seguire non li abbiamo più visti .Per quattro giorni non ci sono stati cambiati asciugamani . Al check-out praticamente inesistenti i proprietari abbiamo lasciato la camera senza sapere dove lasciare la chiave.
- martine (10/5): - Nous avons adoré cet chambre d’hôtes. Accueil chaleureuse exceptionnelle! Propreté et tranquillité assuré ! Une maison de 400 ans avec salle de bain neuve et une pression d’eau excellente. La douche fut chaude et la salle de bain impeccable comme tout le reste… de la vaisselle au chaudron tout y est pour un séjour ensoleillé avec un jardin qluxuriant. Nous avons adoré à tout point de vue ! Prix très raisonnable et service génial!♥️
- LISA (10/5): - There were some stairs involved but the room was perfect. Very cute and separate bedrooms. The hosts are wonderful and very friendly. Definitely recommend.
- Tamás (10/5): Exceptional - The host is very friendly. Clean, nice apartments right by the sea. Park our motorcycles directly in front of the entrance.
- Alice (10/5): - Freundlich, unkompliziert, familiär und günstig.
Wiir sind 5 Tage geblieben obwohl wir meistens 2-3 Tage an einem Ort bleiben
Direkt aam Strand
Wir würden immer wieder kommen
- Kari (10/5): - Nice little place near the beach. Nice owner couple.
- Lisa (10/5): - Great location outside the tourist area but on the water and close to the airport. Boris was a great host. He shared a little of the history and culture of the place, gave us great recommendations, and even called a winery to set up a last minute tasting. Would stay here again.
- Manuela (10/5): Lovely place, very friendly hosts - The hosts are super friendly and welcoming. I really enjoyed my stay, it was my first time in Croatia after 50 years and I loved it. The beach is right in front of the Villa and you can walk for miles to other villages from there. There are lovely restaurants and coffee places along the beach, when I went it was very quiet, hardly any tourists, beautiful. I went already for a swim before breakfast. The accommodation is on two levels and suited me well, I will go again. You can cook you own meals and make breakfast, there are supermarkets near by and the airport bus is only 10 min walk away, it takes 15 min to get to the airport, perfect, aeroplane noise was almost non existent, may be one in a few hours, I went in late September. Nothing
- Rebecca (10/5): Exceptionally good! - The family was so very nice to us, welcoming us very friendly! They were always responding to our request very quickly, they offered their help when we were recovering from an accident and a cold, they gave us advice on where to cycle with our bikes and just in general were such lovely people! Also the apartment is very good: comfortable beds, well equipped kitchen, three beds, clean, right next to the sea (lovely area to be!). What else can you ask for?!:) We loved it. Nothing, it was just a blessing for us to be able to spend two nights there until we were recovered.
- William (5/5): Passable - Borris the host was very friendly and helpfull.Helped us with a early check inn. The garden at the entrance are very neglected.Only a hand shower available in the shower.Linen and pillows are not great.
- Zvonimir (10/5): Exceptional -
- Jennifer (9/5): Ideal apartment in peaceful location - Lovely clean, comfortable, well equipped apartment in great location. Beach across from apartment. Hosts have sun beds and inflatables you can use at the beach.
Supermarkets, pharmacy and restaurants all minutes from apartment.
- Tea (9/5): incredible stay with very friendly hosts in perfect location - great location and beautiful property. spacious apartments
- BETH (10/5): - Beautiful old villa tight on the water walking distance to old town and restaurants
Quiet and staff very welcoming and helpful
- Verified traveler (8/5): - Etablissement en bord de plage. Studio fonctionnel et agréable
- Dominique (10/5): Plus que parfait - Nous avons passé 1 semaine dans cette agréable maison située à 2 pas de la plage entre Split et Trogir dans un quartier hyper calme avec toutes les commodités sur place.
Malgré la barrière de la langue, très bon accueil et verre de bienvenue. Les jeunes hôtes sont très avenants et toujours prêts à rendre service. Bien que l'établissement n'était pas complet, nous avons été surclassés sans avoir rien demandé.
Si nous devons revenir dans cette région, nous ne chercherons pas à loger ailleurs.
L'essayer, c'est l'adopter !
- Jesper (8/5): Får hvad man betaler for. - Rent og pænt, men ingen service undervejs. Det er hvad det er, et billigt ophold. Man får hvad man betaler for. Ejeren er flink og venlig og man bliver taget godt imod.
- Alice (10/5): - We had a great stay at Villa Soulavy although we were only there one night. The host stayed up to greet us very late even though check in past long time before!
The room was nice and the place is basically right on the ocean.
- Verified traveler (8/5): hotel recommandé - hotel recommandé rapport qualité/prix accueil prés de la mer
- Verified traveler (10/5): On the beach - this is a beautiful place to stay, with really clean rooms, and the closest proximity to the beach that is possible in Kastela. Stay here, you won't regret it.
