LOCATION.......LOCATION.......LOCATION.......

Penthouse View Apartment offers unrivalled sea views across the bay, headlands and nearby islands from its hilltop on the island of Ciovo. This perfect location offers the best of everything the Dalmatian coast has to offer.

The beautiful and historic cities of Trogir and Split are just a stone's throw away by water ferry or by road. Four national parks are within easy reach by road: Krka with its amazing waterfalls, Biokovo and the amazing Cetina river gorge at Omis, the Plitvice Lakes and the Kornati archipelago with its 140 islands. Day excursions to Dubrovnik and Mostar are easily arranged. Boat trips can be taken to the nearby islands of Brac, Hvar, Vis and Korcula or explore the nearby roman ruins at Salona.

The village of Okrug Gornji has a long gently shelving shingle beach which is perfect for swimming. Restaurants, beach bars and a water sports centre cater for your every need. Daily boat trips and the water taxi to Trogir run from the tiny harbour.

DALMATIAN COAST DELIGHTS...........

The Unesco World Heritage city of Trogir is enchanting. Built on a tiny island and encircled by the ancient town walls with two historic gates its shady narrow cobbled alleys, courtyards and squares are lined with venetian stone buildings and bell towers. Visit the awe inspiring Cathedral with countless treasures and sculptures and admire the architecture of the churches and municipal buildings and their beautiful carvings and interiors. Enjoy a meal or drinks in one of the many restaurants, cafes, pizzerias and ice cream parlours which line the narrow streets. Browse the tiny shops or street stalls with their range of clothes, shoes, bags, jewellery, souvenirs and local artists paintings. Visit the bustling market just outside the town walls or climb to the top of the Kamerlengo Castle for fantastic views. Sit in a quayside cafe and watch the luxury yachts moor up.

Take the ferry trip along the coast to Split and embark near the Roman Diocletian Palace for a fascinating day.

SO MUCH TO DO.........SO MUCH TO SEE.......

Hire a pedalo, jet ski or small boat from the local Beach Sports Centre or try your hand at paragliding or banana boat and rubber ring rides. There are two inflatable activity centres moored just off the beach during the summer season and games a

Why not be more adventurous and take a Quad & Buggy Safari through the forest and mountain trails of Ciovo or visit the island's Paintballing Centre.

Relax on the beach where you can hire a sun lounger and parasol. The many beach bars offer fast food snacks, ice creams, cool beers, soft drinks and cocktails just yards from you. Stalls sell fresh fruit, juices, pancakes, jewellery and beach goods. The warm sea is perfect for swimming and snorkelling to see the wide variety of fish species which live in the rocky crevices. Make sure to wear jelly shoes or similar for comfort on the shingly beach. For more solitude you can take a walk through the woods to secluded local coves.

For a good day out take a 'Fish Picnic' boat excursion to the nearby island of Solta and the Blue Lagoon with plenty of local snaps and red wine included.

Great apartment
The apartment was ideal for a couple and the views from the balcony were stunning especially the sunsets. It was a great place to chill out with a book and glass of wine. The village and beach were great with lots of places to eat, have a coffee or a drink. Would recommend Mali Raj for dinner, we went several times. Loved the water taxi to Torig which is a must see and more lovely places to eat and drink. We loved our water trip to Split which is stunning and had to go back for a second visit. Apartment is ideal re location although be aware it is quite a long steep hill, best not tackled in heat of the day. Overall had a great holiday, our first visit to Croatia but will definitely be back.

Amazing sunset views
We had a fantastic time at this beautiful apartment, the apartment itself is spotlessly clean and everything you may need for your holidays is available if required. The views from the balcony are amazing and you won't tire of sitting watching the day go by up there, or taking sunset photos!! The area itself is quite but the beach area which is a mere 5-10 mins walk is lively with numerous beach bars and plenty of restaurants and even more restaurants in Trogir a 15min water taxi ride away (20 kuna each) We walked to Trogir in less than half an hour , we went to Krka water falls which were beautiful but as we travelled in July too many people to be able to see it properly and we arrived there at 9.15am !! If you travel in quieter months I'm sure it would be much better. Primosten was a lovely quaint village 30 mins drive and Split is 30-40 mins depending on traffic. When in split go up to the Marjhan hills it's a fantastic view. One tip when driving on the island use the new bridge and turn left at the first roundabout and follow signs for Okrug Gorni it's much quicker and alot less traffic. All in all a great holiday thank you Cynthia

Great Apartment
We had a lovely stay at the apartment, it has all the you need for a comfortable holiday. The air-com was most welcome in the evenings. The views are beautiful we spent time watching the boats and the sunset. The water taxi to Trogir is a 10 minute journey. Where you can catch the boat to Split a great day out. Okrug Gornji is a lovely quiet area of Ciovo with beach bars, quiet beaches and small shops.. The apartment is on a steep hill but we soon got used to it and took a taxi back a couple of times.Well worth the effort as the views are spectacular from terrace The apartment wants for nothing and we hope to return soon.

FANTASTIC APARTMENT
This one bedroom apartment has the best view from it's balcony from anywhere we have ever stayed! The sunsets are to die for and we spent so much time just watching the boats. There are plenty of Beach Bars and Restaurants but we enjoyed taking the Water Taxis from the small harbour to Trogir, a lovely Roman Town with a great market and lots of small shops and restaurants and only a ten minute ride. The apartment is on a steep hill but we would walk down and take a taxi back up, very reasonable!!! We also took a Ferry on from Trogir to Split, a gorgeous, bustling Roman City. The apartment wants for nothing and the aircon is very efficient. A great find!

About the host

Hosted by Cynthia Bidwell-owner

Host profile image
My name is Cynthia and I was born and grew up in a small village north of Cambridge in England. I have a grown up son and daughter and four grand daughters aged 18, 16 ,8 and 4 years. Family is very important to me. My daughter Lynne helps me to manage the Penthouse View apartment. As a family we visit the apartment often and it is very much home from home to us. We have enjoyed making it a comfortable and relaxing retreat and we have made very good friends in Okrug Gornji village.

I have lived in the same village all my life and am very much involved in the community being a member of the Parish Council, a trustee of the local Day Centre for the elderly and a trustee of our Town Lands Charity. I belong to the Gardening Club and the local branch of the British Legion and was Chairman of our Carnival Committee for many years. I am the practice manager at a local GP practice and have worked there for over 40 years.

My roots will always be in my home village but I love to travel and visit other countries. My partner Simon and I spent 5 years building a 36ft yacht and we sailed thousands of miles around the coast of Britain, across the North Sea and eventually down to the Mediterranean Sea where we kept our yacht for many years and sailed all around the Med. Simon is currently building a 50ft steel yacht behind our house so that we can continue our sailing into our retirement days. Having an apartment base on the beautiful Adriatic coast where we can moor our yacht within view of our own balcony and knowing that it will be safe when we are back home in Britain is I think having the best of both worlds.
We are not wealthy and have worked hard to achieve what we have now but have been lucky that we grew up in a time when that was possible. I think things will be tougher for the younger generations.



Why they chose this property

We heard from a friend that the apartment block was due to be built by a local builder who they knew well. We visited the area and fell in love with both the island and the site. We stayed locally several times during the build and were impressed with the quality of the work. We were involved in choosing the floor coverings, kitchen and bathroom fittings and other details which have all meant that this is an apartment which is individual to us. We have become friends with the builder Mijo and his wife Bozena and their family. They live in the apartment block next door and they look after our property for us. We know that Penthouse View and our guests are in safe hands.

What makes this property unique

The views from this apartment are amazing and we never fail to be moved by the spectacular sunsets from our balcony. I was determined to have a swinging seat on the balcony and I have spent many a happy hour gently swinging and soaking up the atmosphere. Penthouse View is a wonderful place to recharge the batteries and to take some 'me' time in an otherwise very busy life. It is easily accessible from Britain with a short flight time and then just a 10 minute drive from the local Split airport which is modern and efficient. Our friendly taxi driver Vjenceslav (or Mr V) can meet you at the airport and deliver you to the front door where Bozena will greet you and show you the apartment. I'm afraid there are five short flights of stairs to the top of the building but the view is definitely worth it.

Ciovo Island and Okrug Gornji are an ideal location to enjoy the unique delights of the Dalmatian Coast. You are based in a beautiful island community but have the added benefits of road links to the mainland by bridge which means you can easily explore the wider Dalmatian coast area.
