Villa Šolo,Rural Croatia,luxury Family Apartments with swimming pool

We are a family of 4 with 2 teenage children. We stayed in a 2 bed apartment which was like home from home. Our flight arrived in Split in the evening. We did not arrive at Villa Solo until 11.30pm but were greeted by Pero & his mother who were both so friendly and welcoming. Pero and his family were the best hosts we have ever come across. The rest of our holiday was fantastic but what stood out was our stay at Villa Solo. We especially loved the get togethers with the other guests in the communal bar area with delicious complimentary cherry brandy & Croatian wine. As well as relaxing in the beautiful gardens with so many amazing fresh figs to eat. Truly a wonderful holiday. Would highly recommend. Thank you Pero.

There ain’t words you could describe how beautiful and wonderful this place is. You have loads of activities to choose from such as: cayaking /canoeing, swimming pool, bike riding, tennis playing, table tennis, surf paddling, etc. Our apartment was extremely clean , the hosts was really friendly. We were feeling as a part of a family during our stay. The owner offered us all kinds of fruits from his garden and home made cherry brandy ( absolutely delicious). Would recommend this place to anyone without hesitation. Will definitely come back again. Thank you😊

In Juli 2018 verbleven wij 12 dagen bij familie Krsticevic in Villa Solo. Ik had de locatie gekozen na het lezen van de vele positieve reviews op diverse sites: natuur, rust, een gezellig appartement en niet in de laatste plaats de niet aflatende gastvrijheid van de eigenaars waren steeds terugkerende elementen in deze verslagen.

Vanaf de eerste ontmoeting voelden wij ons welkom. Een combinatie van een prachtige omgeving, een variatie aan Nationaliteiten op het complex en de familie - altijd aanwezig maar nooit opdringerig- maakte onze vakantie onvergetelijk; onze mooiste vakantie ooit!

Ondanks het feit dat het complex op een wat afgelegen locatie gevestigd is- het dichtstbijzijnde dorp is met de auto (een must!) zo'n 15 minuten rijden verderop- is er op het terrein zelf -ook voor de kinderen- van alles te beleven; een leuk zwembad, een voetbal en tafeltennis- gelegenheid en fietsen en kayaks te huur bij de familie zelf. Een prachtig meer om de hoek (subs en kayaks te huur) en een klein supermarktje met eerste levensbehoeften (dagelijks verse broodjes, wel vóór een uur of 9.30, anders op!) op loop afstand (minuut of 3).

Leuke bijkomstigheid was het feit dat wij live de halve en hele finale van het WK mee konden beleven, waarbij alle gasten -zij aan zij met de eigenaars- hun favoriete land toe konden juichen. En wat een sportieve 'verliezers'; geen vernielingen op straat, maar alleen trotse Kroaten die feestvierend hun vreugde uiten over hun deelname en feit dat hun 'kleine landje' deze prestatie toch maar even heeft neergezet. Wat een volk, wat een mensen!

Tel hierbij op de goed- Engels sprekende familie die zeer welwillend is om een ieder van leuke tips voor uitjes te voorzien- en je wilt gegarandeerd nooit meer weg! Dank, dank dank, lieve Pero en familie. Onze kinderen willen jullie als opa en oma adopteren, Mladen en Jasna...

We enjoyed our stay at Villa Solo. The pool is a good size, with lots of inflatables to keep the kids happy. The accommodation is good, photos are representative.

It is a short walk to the lake - although we were a bit disappointed with the lake 'beach' which was just a small rocky area with access to the water. Otherwise expect to drive about 20 minutes to nearby beaches which are stunning - Gradac, Klek and many more. All are pebbled beaches except Delta beach which is sandy, but as per the name, it is at a delta so not your classic beach.

Pero and his family are lovely and will keep you right on where to go. The villa is a great base for exploring Croatia which is a beautiful country.

Villa Solo is a fantastic place to base your holiday in Croatia and the photos and reviews just can't do it justice. Even when we booked, we were a little unsure whether it would be right for us and our two children aged 4 and 8. Any doubts were soon dispelled. Pero and his parents are just the most genuine warm and friendly people you could hope to meet. Never intrusive, but always around to give spot on help and tourism advice for anywhere you might want to explore in the whole country and intimate info on where to find hidden local spots. And always brightening your day with an endless stream of surprise gifts - a carafe of wine; a slice of watermelon by the pool; a piece of homebaked cake; a couple of mojitos on a hot day; a punnet of fresh figs, grown on site . . . all very kind and just out of the blue as you are relaxing. The highlight is the barbecue/dinner night which the hosts cook for all the guests once per week - a great social occasion, great food and plenty of wine too! They have a couple of kayaks you can use for free to explore the lakes which are just a short walk away, and Pero can even tell you the interesting things to find there too. There is a great 10km running circuit around the lakes if you like to keep fit. Villa Solo itself is very clean and newly refurbished, though you won't spend much time in your apartment. Most likely you will eat outside in a communal area with the other guests and enjoy the great views and relaxing vibe whilst the kids all play together in a safe environment. It was fortunate for us that the three other families there at the same time as us were all British with kids of similar age as it worked really well, but I think it would still have been fine with mixed nationalities. The grounds immediately around the villa have fig, pomegranate, orange, kiwi and olive trees and are very peaceful. Beaches of the Makarska Riviera are within easy reach (just 15 mins), as is Dubrovnik (easy 2 hour drive). You may think the location is slightly out of the way, but it really isn't, plus the great surroundings and your friendly hosts far outbalance being on the coast, plus Pero can point you to little known local places you won't find in any guide book. If you are wondering whether or not Villa Solo is for you, seriously, take the chance and book it - you won't regret it and I'm pretty convinced that you too will only have good things to say about the place when you return!
