Vila Curic

Vila Curic had a lovely terrace with a good view. We were fortunate that there was no-one in the room next to us for the majority of the stay so whilst there is a barrier between the terraces, it is see low and not private. It is situated very close to the number 6 bus stop which takes you to Pile Gate of the old town in 10-15mins. Tickets are slightly cheaper at the kiosk (12kn each), but can be bought on the bus for 15 kn each. It was a short walk down to the Sunset Beach which had lovely restaurants and water was great. There was also a blow up obstacle course for the kids on the water. It is a bit of a walk back up the hill, but we found that taking the road, rather than the stairs was much easier and didn't feel quite as difficult. The rooms at Vila Curic were of a good size and whilst the bed was a touch hard, it was comfortable enough. The pool area was smaller than the photos looked, however it was rarely busy and was a great place to cool off with a lovely view.

The accommodation was very clean, had a small but well equipped kitchen area, with a good sized living/dinning area. A modern shower room. Lovely touches like, towels for the pool or beach were supplied, Sun cream at pool too for guests who come with hand luggage and umbrellas incase of rain. The views were spectacular from the pool. Staff were exceptional, couldn’t be more kind or helpful, our arrival was delayed due to flights, we arrived at midnight, the gentleman should have closed reception at 10 pm but waited for us. The supermarket and bus to the old town 5 mins from accommodations.

We travel a lot around the world, but we have never met such a kind and human approach. We don't even know where to start. First of all, we would like to thank the staff. We arrived at 8 in the morning and could use the pool, also our room was prepared very quickly. Also, we had an evening flight on the last day, and despite checking out at 10 in the morning, we could still use the pool and the common room all day. The pool was amazing, the apartment huge and very comfortable. The huge terrace was a pleasant surprise. The location was great, a little uphill, but nothing terrible. The bus stop, shop, promenade and beach were very close. There is really nothing to complain about and we could write endlessly about the positives.

The owner Franjo, his daughter Anđela and receptionist Sanjin couldn't have done enough for myself and my daughter. Franjo picked us up from the airport for a very reasonable rate. He pointed out places of interest on the drive, we had never been before so this was most helpful. My daughter has cerebral palsy so find steps difficult. Our apartment was directly across from the reception and had the least amount of steps. The apartment itself was spotless and had everything we needed, complimentary orange juice and bottled water in the fridge. Soap and hair/body wash in the bathroom. They even had separate towels for the bathroom and the pool, which was brilliant as I forgot to pack beach towels. We had a wedding in the Sponza Palace, Old Town on the Friday and Franjo kindly drove us there and refused to take any money for petrol. My birthday was on the Monday and I past reception on the way out to be given a beautiful birthday gift. I have never been so pleasantly shocked in all my life. My son wanted a Croatian soccer Jersey brought home and the whole team sent a few days on the Internet and ringing stores to see if they had one. I couldn't say enough about the hospitality of everyone in Vila Curic and the way they went out of their way to make our week a very special week. I would go so far as to say it was one of my favourite holidays ever. I would highly recommend a stay here and hope to visit again soon.

This place was fabulous, located on the no 6 bus run straight to Old town for 2euro. Amazing staff were excellent, knew their stuff and would help with anything. Guided you to areas to go and see. Pool was amazing and clean. Rooms were spacious, we had separate rooms for the bedroom and kitchen, an apartment really. Was amazing, so comfortable. Facilities were all there for you too. Really good place to stay. Would have no problem going back here. 👌
