What our guests say about their stay at Villa Pape
"Staying at Villa Pape felt like more than just accommodation, it felt like coming home to the Dalmatian lifestyle. The villa offers space, privacy and a peaceful atmosphere, while everything you need is close by. The beach is right down the stairs... With the help of the hosts and their thoughtfully prepared website, we explored nearby islands, olive groves, Biokovo... Everything felt authentic and genuine."
"Villa Pape was exactly what we were hoping for and even more. The villa itself is beautiful, clean and very spacious, but what really sets this place apart are the hosts. If you wish, they can help you organize your entire trip... We experienced Dalmatia the local way, visiting olive gardens, going by boat to nearby islands... We would return to Villa Pape without hesitation."
"We had a fantastic stay at Villa Pape. The villa is spacious, beautifully furnished and has a wonderful terrace with an amazing view. The location is perfect, just a short walk to the beach and great restaurants... The hosts were extremely friendly, helpful and always available when we needed something. It was a relaxing and memorable stay and we will definitely return."
"The hosts were very kind, they welcomed us with snacks. The place is amazingly beautiful. The pool has a beautiful view. We really liked it."
"Vila je vrlo prostrana i ima veliku terasu gdje smo proveli mnogo opuštajućih sati i uživali u prekrasnim zalascima sunca... Domaćini su mladi, ljubazni i uvijek spremni pomoći, a pritom nisu nametljivi. Čak su nam organizirali cijeli tjedan, tako da smo se mogli samo opustiti... Bio je to prekrasan odmor i sigurno ćemo se vratiti."
"La ubicacion esta muy bien. la vista espectacular, los anfitriones excelentes y los servicios muy buenos. El jardín con huerto esta muy lindo y el acceso a la playa muy oportuno. Todo super limpio y muy buen servicio. Lo recomiendo ampliamente."
"Increíbles anfitriones, el lugar hermoso, la casa increíble, el jardín y las albercas hermosas, con acceso directo a la playa, simplemente un lugar increíble para estar y conocer de la riviera de croacia. Todo excelente."
