Podvrske-strand

The modern 2-bed apartment was well-appointed with very comfortable beds and pillows and excellent storage/hanging space, spacious bathroom and a good living area with sofas and dining table. The kitchen area was more than adequate with a large fridge/freezer, hob and other appliances and crockery/cutlery. A great home from home with a lovely sea view (and of the nesting house martins which were a delight). The arrival and key retrieval instructions were clear and timely, whilst being given details of somoeone nearby to call on if there were difficulties was really appreciated although having something in the apartment such as a contact list, would have been helpful too. We liked the balcony with sea view very much and peacefulness of the residential location: we hope the green area around remains that way with the evocative sound of cicadas and scent of the maquis. A car is recommended as, although the villa is near a bus route, there are no shops within walking distance, and only two restaurants (unless one walked to Amadria Park but we preferred supporting local individual companies). The pool was a bonus as the nearest beach isn't the best Croatia has to offer (although popular with motorhome visitors and locals). Overall, the location was great as it was quiet, easy to reach the main coastal road (gorgeous views), and easy access to the main routes inland to Krka and beyond.
