Guest comments
Jennifer Harvey, Paolo Francati, baby Helena and Nikki the dog, Amsterdam. We spent a truly wonderful two weeks relaxing in Villa Lavanda and enjoyed the peace and tranquility of the location. It was lovely to explore the nearby town of Krk - the shops and restaurants are great. In the evening, we enjoyed our pre-dinner swims enormously. Jumping into the clear, clean water of the Adriatic was most definitely one of the highlights of our day. Krk is a lovely island to explore and enjoy and I would recommend it as a holiday destination. Ljiljana was a perfect host and ensured that all our needs were catered for.
Gilly, Mike, Barbara, Pam and Mike, St Leonards-on-Sea, UK. To be welcomed with a meal after 12 hours travel, was the ultimate welcome. Villa Lavanda had it all! The island is beautiful, quiet, people welcoming and the beaches superb. At sunset we relaxed on the terrace and watched the sheep being moved from field to field, their bells tinkling. Fabulous!

About the owner
I live in Croatia, having returned to my family roots after years of living in England and having a busy international career.
Year purchased: 1995
Why the owner chose a home in this location
Krk, a lush green island with the clear blue sea, was the right choice. A run down stone cottage in a little village, bought in 1995, was a challenge and a labour of love. Originally an olive press, it was transformed by the local builders and craftsmen into a spacious family home, loved and visited by both my English and Croatian family and friends.
Unique benefits of the property
The island of Krk is a great place for an active holiday, but after a day of swimming, sailing, walking or exploring the old towns and villages along the coast, it is great to come home and relax, have a quiet drink in the garden, smell the lavender, watch the butterflies, enjoy the sunset and the beautiful Mediterranean night sky.
