We had SUCH a happy week at Villa Demer.
Many many thanks to Frane, who was very friendly and helpful, from the minute we booked to the minute we left. A thoroughly nice chap & a thoughtful host.
Villa Demer is really well designed, particularly the garden. Lots of shady places. Nice big table and super-handy outdoor kitchen.
The pool is wonderful.
The whole place is immaculately clean, inside and out.
The location couldn't have been better for us:
- only 15 minutes taxi ride from the airport (thanks to the new bridge connecting Ciovo to the mainland)
- beach (& bar) just one minute walk away (cross the road & you're there)
- a couple of minutes walk to the nearest Tommy's (Croatian grocery store)
We really liked the friendly beach bar & had several happy evenings there. The kids played air hockey and boules, or played in the trees & on the beach, while the adults relaxed with a drink. Pizza and seafood, good prices.
We also enjoyed walking round the coast to the heart of Slatine, where we had a couple of good meals by the harbour, and also got the boat to Trogir for a really lovely evening out (taxi back to the villa very reasonable price).
The road is not good for walking to Slatine harbour (no pavement), but there are plenty of buses. Or do as we did and walk along the beach and up onto a rough track (and a final steep walk). It's not far, & is a fun walk with good views and a couple of nice quiet swimming spots.
We can't wait to return.
