      Ideal for families
      Warm, clear, safe swimming bay. Natural shade or sun always available. Several excellent restaurants/cafes serving delicious food at reasonable prices. Amazing ice cream!! Casual, friendly “promenade style” atmosphere with occasional authentic local music performances in the evening. The rest of Brac easily accessible by car.

      The location is quiet, with a beautiful view of the sea and the island of Brač on one side, and on the other side, a steep rocky massif covered with pine trees. Access to the beach is provided through a tunnel that leads under the road. The surrounding beaches are varied, with pebbles and sand. The sea is very clean. There is a restaurant nearby. The host was kind, always willing to help, and ready to bring anything we needed if something was missing.

      Bardzo dobry Apartament
      Obiekt jak najbardziej godny polecenia. Świetna lokalizacja zarówno pod kątem plaży jak i pobliskich atrakcji. Wszystko w ogłoszeniu apartamentu się zgadzało i oceniam to pozytywnie. Właścicielka i jej rodzina bardzo miła i pomocną w razie potrzeby. W drodze na plażę restauracja i sklep z jedzeniem. Widok z apartamentu bajeczny. Do pobliskiego Omiś jakieś 10 min samochodem. Do Makarskiej 20 min. Plaża ciągnąca sie na długości jakieś 500 m, woda przejrzysta.
      Nie takiej rzeczy z której bylibyśmy niezadowoleni.

      komfortné ubytovanie
      Apartmán bol perfektne vybavený, čistý, moderný, plne funkčná kuchynka s dobrým vybavením, priestranný balkón s krásnym výhľadom. Tiché miesto a pritom blízko cesty a pláže. Úžasná majiteľka, milá a nápomocná.
      V tomto čase chýba v dedine obchod alebo aspoň pekáreň. Najbližší bol 5 min. autom.
