    Great villa in a great location
    We had a lovely week in this villa. Very pretty setting and lovely garden. The kitchen had everything we needed when we self- catered and we loved sitting after dinner with the outdoor lights off and counting the shooting stars. Although secluded, we were less than ten minutes drive to the pretty beach at Gradac with its beautiful sunsets and friendly restaurants. Ten minutes in the other direction got us to Bacina lake where we walked, swam, paddle boards and relaxed. It’s worth noting that this property may not be suitable for younger children, or people with less mobility as there are quite a few stone steps up from the car to the front door and the staircases internally are open. All in all we had a great stay here, thank you.

    Wonderful family holiday
    We had a wonderful stay in this beautiful property. The owners were warm, welcoming, kind and so helpful. Really clean and comfortable. Such a peaceful location and paddle boarding with Ivan’s company was brilliant fun. Lovely restaurants in nearby Gradac. Great location for lakes and beaches.

    A hidden gem of a villa and great for exploring Croatia
    We spent 2 weeks here in 2019 and it was a perfect base to go exploring many parts of Croatia and Bosnia. The accommodation was very tastefully furnished and full of interesting and quirky art works. The garden and pool were very welcome during the incredibly hot days we spent here and we discovered several rather interesting insects from the area. The accommodation is clean and of a good standard and my only complaint was that I found the mattress in the main bedroom a bit hard but my husband found it fine so that could just be me used to memory foam. Ivan and his father were so very helpful and welcoming and gave us ideas of places to eat and drink locally We also spent several days at the Bacina lakes learning to paddleboard and we were made very welcome and chatted for ages finding out all about Ivans dads connection to the village which was fascinating. The lake setting and bar area are just perfect for whiling away several hours. Many families were here with the kids enjoying the lake and it was lovely to watch all the interactions. We would really recommend the villa for anyone wanting a real taste of the past staying in an original stone built home which has been lovingly restored. We visited all the islands, Split, Dubrovnik and Bosnia from this location and it was a pretty good mid way point. Thanks so much for making us feel so welcome and for the incredible freshly picked figs

    10 days in Bacina
    We were two families of mom,dad,and two kids each between 9 and 13. The house is amazing and the grounds and location are very hard to imagine without staying here. Owners are lovely and deeply rooted in region. I have spent a lot of time in Croatia and Bosnia and this home and location are perfect to explore islands and the true gem of Croatia, the peninsula. In short stay here, relax, go to lake enjoy locals take a ferry somewhere. Heavenly Mediterranean living.

    Beautiful villa
    Had a lovely 4 days staying in this lovingly restored/built villa in a stunnng and very unspoilt part of Croatia. Both Ivan and his father couldn’t have been more helpful and welcoming and we also highly recommend the Paddle Surf at Bacina, run by Ivan. Had a really special time exploring the lakes. Not to be missed.

    Fantastic villa in a beautiful spot
    We had the most amazing holiday. The villa has everything you could want and is situated in the most beautiful gardens. The area is still fairly unspoilt and paddle boarding on the lakes is a must.. we'll be back!

    Beautiful and well equipped
    Artistic touches are everywhere by the owners who have put great passion into this refurbishment. Make sure you get good directions as the property has its own single track lane, look for the sun painted on the stone at the road side. Pool is for cooling off not diving due to its size. Very friendly people. Air conditioning kept the sleeping areas cool at night which was welcome when temperatures reached 38degC during our stay.

    Putovali smo kao grupa 7 odraslih i 1 beba te su vlasnici bili jako fleksibilni oko razlicitih vremena dolazaka u vilu. Sama vila je predivno uređena, uredna i cista. Svatko je imao dovoljno privatnosti unutar i izvan kuce. Najvise vremena smo provodili u dvoristu iza kuce gdje se nalazi bazen i natkriveni lounge prostor za opustanje. Vila je na jako dobroj lokaciji, potpuno izolirana u prirodi gdje smo se osjecali mirno i opusteno. Vrt i okucnica su jako lijepo uređeni. Villa je smjestena 10 minuta voznje od plaze i mora, 5 minuta od Bacinskih jezera te 15ak minuta od usca Neretve gdje se nude mnoge druge aktivnosti za posjetioce. Definitivno preporuka za dobar odmor!
