Villa Omis

"Todella siisti ja kiva talo ja piha-alue! Uima-allas oli upea ja riittävän syvä. Näkymät talolta hienot. Bozena oli ystävällinen ja avulias. Talolla oli ”tervetulopaketti”, joka tuli meille tarpeeseen. Todella hyvä kokemus!"

"Our family of 5 from Finland stayed a week in the villa in late October (which is a bit out of the main tourist season) and loved every aspect of the stay. There is not much to add compared to previous reviews but to agree that the country, property, views and hosts were just amazing. We were pleased by the host communication even before the arrival and they took good care of us during the stay. When we arrived, there was even a warm apple pie waiting for us, not to mention the wine, fruits & fridge with basic items to survive the first day! As mentioned in the previous reviews, we were also treated with a local Croatian meal cooked in the outdoor owen by Bozena and her father in law, just WAU! The photos are very accurate, the property is new, well designed and built. Excellent facilities and great beds. Of course kids loved the heated and nicely lit pool. We swam every evening and enjoyed the view and the calm atmosphere. The location near Omis was great, although during the first days the drive up to the property was fairly thrilling until we got used to the hights, turns and local traffic. The climb up to the fortress is well worth it, although when we did it, it was extremely windy. It's good to notice that there is a small entrance fee, so it's a good idea to take the purse along. There is a lot to see in Croatia and the nearby area and week just isn't enough for it all. The villa was a good base for our travels. We drove as far as Dubrovnik for a day trip, visited Krka national park, nearby old towns and did some shopping but noticed that there is a lot to see still, so definitely coming back some day. All in all, highly recommended. A special thanks to the hosts, Bozena you are the best! :-)"

"We stayed in Villa Omis in the first week of September. We were drawn to it for the promise of a great view over the bay and we were not dissappointed ..at all. We loved our week here and wished it could have been longer. The villa is completed to a very high standard inside and out, with four good sized bedrooms, three of which have extremely comfortable super king beds. The living space is very roomy. The pool area is a real treat. The pool is large and can easily accomodate lengths if you fancy that sort of thing and is equipped with plenty of sun beds and large parasols. There are neighbouring holiday villas but the location is out of the way and peaceful. The villa is family owned and this came through in the way every care was taken to make our stay special. On arrival we were met by Bozena who showed us around the Villa and presented with a delicious range of treats to welcome in our first evening. And later in the week Bozena and her father-in-law popped round one evening and prepared a delicious traditional Croatian meal cooked in the outside oven. If you get offered the same I would definitely recommend it. While in Omis we did the 8 zip wires with Zip Lines, which we highly recommend, and the Advanced Canyoning with Adventure Omis which was well organised but involved more rocking walking that rapids floating for some of our liking. We also spent a great day rafting with Jure, who came highly recommended by Bozena. It costs a bit more than some of the other rafting companies but it was more than worth it with a few rapids, cliff jumps, cave pools .. all done at a pace to suit us and delivered with a real personal touch including refreshments of fruit, cake, coffee and juice. The villa is half way between the town and the Fort overlooking the bay at the top of the cliffs. My wife and I walked up one morning and as everyone will have commented, it is a steep walk and you will arrive sweaty but the view is well worth it. Other things to know. The villa comes with extra towels for the pool, the WiFi is excellent and the aircon is in every room. In the town, there is only limited taxi service so you definitely need a car. Overall, we really liked Omis and it's traditional back streets and easy pace combined with some exciting outdoor activities, the Villa was exceptional and Bozena was just great. We're quite jealous of anyone staying here after us!"
