Right from the start, we can highly recommend a vacation here in this wonderfully restored farm house. To begin with, we were met by our gracious and friendly host Vladimir, who not only picked us up from our highway exit, and showed the way to the house, but also provided us with a welcoming of the local cheese, ham, wine and grapes of the area, all bio!
The farmhouse has been meticulously restored with fine craftsmanship and the interior, as done by Vladimir’s wife, Csilla, compliments the house with its’ beautiful accents. All the rooms are very well furnished with built-in closets, a fully equipped kitchen, air conditioning. There is great Wifi and for an unlikely rainy day all the TV Channels you can ask for. The house includes a swimming pool (not heated) and grill in a pleasant setting of which we took advantage of the quiet area also to relax and read and gaze upon the stars.
Vladimir was also helpful giving us tips on beaches and cultural highlights of the area which are many. You do, of course, need a car…. There are no downsides to the house, however, the village of Čista Mala has many abandoned houses since the war there in the early nineties. However, this should not be disconcerting for future visitors, as the area is being revitalised by people like Vladimir and his family and it is of great help to support this venture, you will not be disappointed!
It was my first time in Croatia, I will certainly be returning.
