A dream - sunset, a glass of wine and heavenly peace right by the sea

A dream - sunset, a glass of wine and heavenly peace right by the sea

10/10 Excellent
"What a phenomenal property! Our group of 6 stayed here for a week and absolutely loved it. The patio with the views of the sea, the pool, the fig and olive trees on the property are all just amazing. And the sunsets - wow!I wish we had ventured down the stairs to the beautiful turquoise sea more than we did, but the house was so nice we didn't want to leave. Don't miss the chance to take a photo of the setting sun shining through the gate. I won't spoil it by posting one, but suffice it to say that someone had an eye for detail when designing the entry to the property. It's a nice welcome after a winding, hilly drive from Vela Luka.For consideration:The home is not ideal for persons with mobility issues or for whom stairs are a problem, but if this is not a concern it's an incredible place to stay.It’s nature & there are some flying insects that apparently also bite (we bought a bottle of bug spray at grocer), but there are also tons of beautiful butterflies. If anyone in your party is very reactive to bug bites, something to consider.  It's a fair tradeoff for being at what is essentially a private ecoresort.The owner/host communications were excellent; we were met for a tour at our arrival. We enjoyed delicious meals in town at Nautika, Pod Bore, and Alfa. We suggest timing your trip in for dinner so that you can enjoy your private sunset from this home. We did pizza take out from Alfa, perfecto. Life is short, book this place!"
