Wonderful outside space

Zarko is a great host and very friendly; he answered any queries immediately and you get the benefit of him living next door without ever being intrusive, he gives you complete privacy. Kitchen and living area are open plan and would be a bit small for a larger party, however it was perfectly fine for the two of us. Artwork inside provides a nice touch. Comfortable bed, and a spacious bedroom. The garden is beautiful (as it looks in the pictures) and won’t disappoint - we loved it. 10/10.

Beautiful house with stunning garden

This has to be one of the loveliest houses we have stayed in: beautiful traditional stone house with an interior full of little design touches, stunning shady courtyard which was SO welcome in the June heatwave as was the wonderful natural pool that even our daughter loved. And of course, the incredible garden that Zarko lovingly tends by evening and approaches from the back so as not to intrude. Zarko's family are, unsurprisingly as lovely as the house - they were never obtrusive but always friendly and great suggestions for places. They even fed us courgette from the garden and a Croatian millefeulle! We had to meet the needs of two exhausted adults (myself a keen swimmer) and a teenager who craved nightlife and the location was perfect: we swam in the local bay first thing, then breakfasted with our daughter before a short drive to beaches near Jelsa or further afield as well as visiting the incredible Greek & Roman remains in Stari Grad. Hvar is a short drive for evening visits when cooler. Very grateful to Lukrica at SunCity who recommended the smallest car as the island roads really are narrow! We absolutely loved our time here and look forward to coming back when its cooler so that we can walk the Stari Grad plain as originally planned!

Little paradise with amazing pool an garden

Zarko’s Cottage is a little paradise! We stayed there for 3 weeks and didn’t want to leave. The house is cozy and comes with everything you need. It’s surrounding garden with the pool is just amazing and you can even see the Ocean, which is a ten 10 minutes’ walk away, from the balcony. Zarko lives close to the cottage and is always available if you need any help or recommendations. We will come back to this little paradise.

About the host

Hosted by Zarko

Hi, I'm Zarko, one of the things which makes me feel lucky is to live in such a beautiful corner of the world - Hvar island. I like simple things in life: spending time with my familly, walking my dog along the sea shore, creating something with my own hands, having a laugh with my friends ...
I'm a sociable person who likes to travel and meet new people and talking about anything or nothing.
I consider myself as an open minded person and I'm always trying to keep positive perspective.
