We were looking for a long time for a house in Croatia on the beach, where we can enjoy our holiday. We found it with villa Fillip. The second paradise – villa Petra - is just the other half of the building, with it’s own pool, but can be joined by the opening the door in the patio, by the pool.
First of all – we (group of 6 persons) were the very first guests of this brand new villa and nevertheless everything was finished, prepared for our stay – every little detail. So the pictures are really true ☺ and we enjoyed the lovely house, the privacy, given through additional terraces with stunning views and rooms with en suite bathrooms and the pool…
Morning swim in the sea – just few steps away – afterwards leisure time by the pool. If you prefer to stay on the beach – no problem – there were several possibilities also with good access for children and older people.
We had the pleasure to meet also the owners – one of our most remembered evenings of our stay. They take care of their houses with a lot of love and pride.
So of course, there is one negative point – Split airport is very close, so you see and hear the planes. So if you hate planes – do not rent this villas. If it is ok for you to see and hear like 20-30 planes in 24 hours, do not hesitate. If you prefer not to travel by car – you can fly in and be picked up from the airport. You do not need a car staying in Villa Filip or Petra.
Some organisational issues: there is small supermarket Ribola just 500m from the house, closing a 19:30 and bigger supermarket Lidl and the biggest Kaufland open 7:00-24:00, just a short drive of approximately 10 minutes.
In walking distance are some easy bars and restaurants, the “bigger” one are walking on the see shore for approx. 2,5-3 km – so nice walk for adequately fit people.
And sorry for the long review - but as we were the first guests I think it is very well welcomed to get some impression how it was.
We are definitely coming next year! Once you find a paradise, you are not leaving it! ☺
