Villa PaPe

Ira and Boris have gem of a bed and breakfast. It is worth the drive up the steep hill to their place to see the spectacular view of the Adriatic Sea and breathtaking sunsets. They are gracious hosts. Ira fixes a great breakfast and you can arrange for her to cook a special dinner.

Beautifully located on the top of the hill, this fine hotel welcomed us with the greatest hospitality. The choice of staying here - close to the beaches, but with easy, quick (15 mins) and cheap (30 kn for one adult and one child) access to the marvellously pictoresque and culturally interesting town of Trogir with the boat just down hill - proved to be ideal for us, rather than the other way around. We also managed to find a less crowded beach just opposite the well-stocked Ribola store, which suited us fine, even if we were happy to have brought our swimming shoes, as the white pebbles on the beach were a bit difficult to handle without them. It also turned out to be good to have brought cash, as a lot of restaurants did not accept cards. Villa PaPe is a most wonderful place with the best breakfast ever - served individually and with constant variation. Together with the unique homemade pottery decorations and furnitures of the house, it bears witness to the delightful creativity of the extraoridnarily inviting and friendly hosts, creating a fabulous personal touch. Our room was cosy and well-kept, with a much valued A/C and we could freely use the common balcony with spectacular views over the amazing sea, as our room was without balcony. Even if the soon-to-be teenage son points out that the Internet was shaky at times and the steep hill was a challenge in the hot midday sun, we deeply and warmly recommend this fantastic hotel with heartfelt sincerity.

We called the hotel in advance to let them know we would be arriving late at nigh around 1-2 am. The receptionist said they would arrange something. When we finally arrived around 2 am (after spending an hour trying to find the hotel) there was no note, key or ANY instructions anywhere regarding our check-in. We were extremely tired, lost and confused having nowhere to go. We called the reception door bell and the phone #. After about an hour a guy came down the stairs. We told him we had a reservation and called about arriving late. He was EXTREMELY RUDE, unhappy to see us, said if we had any complains we (4 people) could go to whatever apartments elsewhere (in the middle of the nigh) and showed at the gates. We were shocked, this spoiled our stay and the impression about Croatia. We told the receptionist about this situation at the check out and they did not even apologize.
