Our Dalmation Beach Apartment with Private Garden and Parking.
Peaceful Location off Main Road; Friendly Neighbours
Our Dalmation holiday home sleeps 7 (3 Bedrooms)
|
|
'Failte' is a garden level apartment so there are no stairs to negotiate and the Dalmatian promenade beside the sea with its many pebble beaches can be reached by a quiet almost flat roadway. The one apartment overhead is occupied by a friendly Croatian family of three and the two adjoining apartments are used for holidays by the Croatian owners who live in Germany. In 2006 'Failte' was totally refurbished to a high standard and is really more a home from home than your typical holiday let.

Accessibility
'Failte' is a garden-level apartment so there are no stairs to negotiate. Also the promenade can be reached in two or three minutes via an almost flat roadway. While the kitchen/living-room is accessible by wheelchair via the terrace patio-doors the other apartment doors are not wheelchair friendly.
Outside
The front patio, shaded by a mature olive tree has a dining table for 6/8. There are tables and chairs also on the front terrace which has shade from orange, lemon and mandarin trees. The apartment overhead is permanently occupied by a very nice, friendly, helpful Croatian couple with one little girl.
Coast/Beach
Several small Dalmatian pebble beaches and 2 jetties are less than 3 minutes walking distance on quiet cul-de-sac road. One of the finest sandy beaches in Croatia, Trstenica (1,500 m.) is but a further 3 minutes walk. The water is crystal clear with abundant sea-life. Snorkeling, scuba diving, sailboarding, fishing and boating are all available locally.
Special interest holidays
Failte, our Dalmatian beach apartment in Orebic is very suitable for people of the older generation, for families with young children, particularly in May/June before the crowds arrive and again in September/October when the water is at its warmest, the restaurants uncrowded, the grapes ready for harvesting and the new season's wines available for tasting. The scenic 3 km long shaded promenade by the seashore is very special for a stroll at any time of the day (or night).
Travel
From Dubrovnik airport Orebic is less than 2 hours drive on the Adriatic highway; by-passing Dubrovnik, it is an easy, scenic drive.
Split is about 3 1/2 hours drive via Ston or one can take the car ferry from Ploce to Trpanj; then 20 minutes to Orebic.
Transport from airport can be arranged and a car is not really essential.
Distances
The Peljesac peninsula is noted for vine growing and the locally produced wines, Postup and Dingac, are highly rated.
Korcula -a mini Dubrovnik- is reached by a frequent 15 minute ferry ride. From there excursions are available to the famous islands of Mljet, and Hvar and by fast catamaran to Dubrovnik.
If you take the ferry from Trpanj to Ploce (1 hour ) Medjugorje in Bosnia/Hercogovina is only 50 minute's drive.
Further details
Failte Orebic is also very suitable for people of the older generation, particularly in May/June before the crowds arrive and again in September/October when the water is at its warmest, the restaurants uncrowded, the grapes ready for harvesting and the new season's wines available for tasting.

About the owner
My wife Sheila and I are originally from Cork in Ireland where we owned an ran an independent hostel, catering for the budget traveller. We are now retired and have lived in sunny Andorra for many years. Since the year 2000 we have been visiting Medjugorje in Bosnia/Hercegovina annually on pilgrimage.
Why the owner chose an apartment in this location
Frequently driving along the stunningly beautiful Croatian coastline, we soon fell in love with the country and its friendly people.
In 2005 we began to search for a suitable holiday home and in February 2006 the contract was signed for the apartment we now call 'Failte' which in Gaelic means 'Welcome'.
The location was perfect; on a quiet road, 120 metres from the sea, with its own garden and parking. The only problem, it was a wreck; so it had to be totally refurbished. This was done quickly and efficiently and we moved in just after Easter 2006.
Unique benefits of the property
Supermarkets, banks and churches are close by and the ferry to Korcula leaves frequently from the harbour, taking 15 minutes for the crossing.
