Beautiful villa in tranquil setting

We have just returned from an amazing week in Croatia at cista mala. It’s been our first trip to Europe since the pandemic and we were so welcomed by Vladmir and his family. The villa has everything you need for a perfect family holiday. I’ve already recommended it to all my friends. It was renovated to a very high standard and is spotlessly clean. The pool is great for kids and very safe. Plenty of outdoor areas to eat and sit and relax. Set in such a peaceful village in Croatian countryside. So many attractions within 20 mins drive. We were spoilt for choice with regards to day trips. We would love to come back again. Thanks.

Wow.....where to start?

Following a sticky start with flight problems/ cancellations & flight diversions we arrived at 3am but this did not prevent us from receiving a warm welcome from Marco who kindly met us at the taxi drop off point and took us to the villa. We were originally booked to arrive at lunchtime so it was incredibly kind of him to wait up for us to arrive at the later time. Upon our arrival at the villa there was supper waiting for us of bread with sliced meat and cheese accompanied by a carafe of wine. First and foremost we'd like to thank Vladimir and his parents for such a welcoming stay. The villa is immaculate and in a lovely peaceful location, perfect for a relaxing family break. The villa is split into 2 apartments which was ideal for our party of a grown up family. Each of the apartments has it's own living space of generous sized rooms which fitted our needs perfectly whilst also allowing space for the full group to be together. The downstairs apartment is ideal for those who find stairs difficult as the living space is all on one level apart from a couple of steps from the dining kitchen area to the bedroom. This apartment offers a walk in shower which again was useful for those of us with mobility issues. The outside garden area is clean and well kept with flowers, a small lawn and trees. The outside lighting in particular is a nice touch especially for outside dining and which allowed us to make use of the BBQ in the evening. The pool was lovely and clean as were both the garden and patio areas. The pool offered a refreshing swim and the quiet location allowed for a peaceful sunbathe. The quiet rural location means that a car is essential and there is a designated parking space just outside the villa. We flew to Split although Zadar is a little closer and for future visits we would probably use this airport instead. The well maintained roads ensure that either transfers are quite easy with the directions given by Vladimir before our arrival. He also provided us with suggestions of where to visit and with this being our first visit to Croatia, proved to be most useful. Although the beaches were stony not sandy (beach shoes essential), the sea was crystal clear and many of the beaches we visited had restaurants open even though it was late season. Some are less than 30 minutes’ drive from the villa and those that we visited were not overcrowded. Our first visit to Croatia did not disappoint. Thank you, Alison, Gary, Hannah & Daniel

Perfect accommodation with delightful hosts

This was a great place for a family holiday-location, weather, comfort, villa layout and villa facilities . However the first thing we would wish to highlight was how we were hosted. Vladimir provided perfect reassurance through the booking process (esp when glitch happened at our end) and clear instructions for how to get to the property. He also provided detailed advice and support on activities we could access from Cista Mala. While we were there it was Vladimir's parents who provided the welcoming committee. They were delightful and made us feel at home, immediately. The accommodation was clean and very well equipped for comfort and for self catering. The bonus of air conditioning was fantastic given the afternoon heat. The pool was a good size for fun and exercise and was kept clean by Vladimir's father who also tended the garden (tomatoes, figs etc.). Several options for where to sit and eat upstairs, downstairs inside and out. The Villa is situated in a small hamlet with a small supermarket a couple of miles away in the next village. So, nicely remote but with food options. The activities and places to visit (and larger supermarkets) are all within 20-30min drive and easy to get to on good quality (and mostly quiet) roads. Two lovely national parks (Krka and Kornati) very close and trips to beaches easy especially in island of Murter. Sibenik is a lovely old town with good dining options and lots of mediaterranean atmosphere. Would highly recommend.

Schöner entspannter Urlaub in einem tollen Haus

Wir (1 Erwachsener und 3 Kinder) waren in der Zeit vom 30.06.-07.07.19 zu Gast bei Vladimir und seiner Familie und können uns den anderen Bewertungen nur anschließen. Es ist ein tolles Haus in einem kleinen Dorf, sehr ruhig und gemütlich, liebevoll renoviert, es war eine tolle Woche. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt. Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig und die Strände auf Murter sind wirklich schön und schnell zu erreichen. Für die Kinder war der Pool natürlich ein Highlight, auch Abends um 22.00 Uhr. Vladimir hatte eine Menge guter Tipps für uns und die Kommunikation über WhatsApp lief reibungslos. Danke an Marko für den herzlichen Empfang und die Betreuung vor Ort. Wir können das Haus nur weiterempfehlen. Danke für diesen entspannten Urlaub. Adrian, Julian, Emma und Beate

Serene and Stylish!

Cista Mala is a stunningly surreal village of charming stone villas; rich with an abundance of various wild growing herbs and fruits. As well as, warm and inviting residents, full of character and history. Our wonderfully inclusive hosts Marko and Lenka, made us feel more like we were family friends, rather than new acquaintances. Greeting us with a traditional welcome meal, from the first day; they continued to treat us during the rest of our stay, with insight on how to acquire the best local cheese, wine and produce. They also recommended the best attractions and excursions, in the area. Marko and Lenka, are a gracious and genuine couple, whom we intend to visit regularly. The villa itself is appointed very tastefully, with everything you could need to feel the comforts of home. So much so, that you may want to stay on the property during your entire stay! ...To enjoy lounging by the pool, preparing meals on the open fire grill, appreciating the peaceful, unspoiled nature all around, or simply gazing at the starry skies on balmy Croatian nights. ....Highly Recommended!

About the host

Hosted by Vladimir Popovic

Hi, my name is Vladimir. Sibenik born but living in Zagreb. My family and me offer a vacation in a nice old traditional stone house we renovated couple of years ago, located in the beautiful and abundant area of north Dalmatia. Happy to advise best of the region to our guests who want explore it. Tourism has been a part of my education and work so I'll do my best to make our guests stay here an enjoyable memory.

Why they chose this property

The house you're just looking at is my fathers birth home. It's been a family house for around 300 years already. We love the idea to renovate and make it a traditional style vacation home not just for us but anybody that seeks a true vacation and rest from the everyday life. The village is rich with various typical rural but organic Dalmatian vegetables, fruits and products. Mulberry, figs, grapes, briar, pomegranates, olives, cheese, wine and much more are just some of many things that are at your reach during the stay. Probably you'll discover them yourself while exploring the village area.
