The house was beautiful, outside spaces were great and well equipped. Nice to chill by the pool with tunes on the Bluetooth sound system. Easy communication with owner via Whatsapp and responded quickly to messages. Car absolutely required but we knew that when booking so all good. Just a short drive into Sibenik which is lovely and has everything you need.

We spent two weeks in Villa Arantza and were positively impressed in all regards. The hosts were super friendly and supportive. There was a welcome package with regional products and most needed items. The villa itself is stunning, well equipped and exceptionally accessible, although, you would not note the accessibility unless you need it. Perfect integration! For those interested: Except for one ramp outside the house that was to steep to handle myself without help, I was able to use all in- and outdoor facilities myself despite being quadriplegic - that even applies to the wonderful pool that features a ramp. We travel a lot and this was by far one of the best accessibility experiences ever. We would return any time. If there were more, it would get more than 5 stars!!
