  Simple house in paradise setting to watch the sun set over the sea.

  Great location on Pakleni Islands, the simple house was ideal for our family. Short walk down to the beach and the crystal clear waters. Remember to take snorkels or at least goggles. Our young boys loved their stay here. There are three restaurants available which close by 6pm and the food is lovely but not cheap...they cater for the luxury yachts coming to the island during the day! The journey to Hvar is 20euros each way, so would recommend that you take plenty of food and drink to the cottage.

  Remember to bring mosquito repellent. We got fairly bitten as didn't have any. Mosquito nets would also be idea. There are punkah fans in the rooms but no a/c. We didn't have repellent/fans so kept windows closed which got quite hot at night. Mosquito nets on the windows would be great.

  Lovely rustic off-grid cottage located on a stunning bay

  This was our second visit to this island off Hvar. This rustic off-grid house is all about the location. Two great swimming beaches on your doorstep with clear azure water … just be sure to bring your swimming shoes. Four great (expensive) beach bars/restaurants nearby so popular for yacht moorings and day trippers from Hvar. At night it is very peaceful. Fully equipped kitchen and lovely terrace with views of the bay and sunsets. Open fire/BBQ on rear terrace.

  The house is set back from the beach in the trees so mosquitos were a problem. No AC but fans in the rooms. No mosquito nets as advertised. The bathroom is quite basic and could do with an upgrade. The owner needs to negotiate a better rate with the taxi boats (for visitors without their own boat) otherwise it proves too expensive to stay here for a week and have enough supplies to enjoy your holiday. You have to shop in Hvar town and taxi boats are more expensive this year charging us €10 pp each way (because if you go over to Hvar in an empty boat in the morning after it has dropped off the day trippers it is a ‘private hire’ which makes no sense as it goes back and forth all morning and afternoon)! Disappointed that transfers from Hvar weren’t included in the price this year so add another €80 for a family of 4 just to get to the island and back.
