A Holiday from Heaven
Review Submitted: September 15, 2009
Date of Stay: August 2009
Our holiday was amazing! The penthouse apartment is exactly as described and was, in fact, even better than we dared hope for. The layout is relaxing and spacious but also very practical for a holidaying group or family. All mod cons are provided, you really need for nothing here. The apartment is cleaned and maintained to the highest standard and feels comfortable and luxurious - the finish is superb. Our beds were very comfortable and there is extra linen available.
Both bedrooms are nicely furnished with plenty of hanging and drawer space. There is a small safe in the double bedroom wardrobe which gave me peace of mind for passports etc.
The bathrooms are lovely, sparkling clean and the overall feeling is of high quality with marble tiling throughout.
We found the kitchen to be well equipped - there was everything I needed to cook family meals most nights.
The view from the balcony is breathtaking! I spent happy mornings watching the sun rise over the sea. The balcony is spacious and well furnished. The area in which the apartment block is situated is quiet and peaceful and it really is a very pleasant (short) walk down to the beach. The beach is a gem - quiet,clean and unspoilt, the water is crystal clear and calm. There is a beach bar offering friendly service and cheap drinks and snacks - but nothing else - what a joy to be free from beach vendors and tacky gift shops.
There is a supermarket, bakery (fantastic bread and cakes), fruit and veg stall and a choice of restaurants in the village so you needn't travel far unless you want to. Everythig seemed very reasonably priced to us.
The boat trip from main beach to the medieval town of Trogir was a highlight. Trogir is so beautiful, and again feels unspoilt and magical - the whole family enjoyed exploring there.
I could go on and on... there were no negatives to this trip and I feel like I need to return to this beautiful country and discover more. We felt very safe and welcome in Croatia.
Alison has been friendly and helpful throughout the whole planning and booking process, patient and understaning when my bank transferred too little money for the deposit(!) even organising extra accomodation for us when we needed to fly out a day earlier than planned. Thank you so much!

What a great apartment, Alison's descriptions are accurate and you will not be disappointed. Alison was always very prompt at answering any extra questions. The info in the apartment was good and the music CD's a fabulous extra. My only negative would be that there is no air-conditioning in the bedrooms.
Please allow for heavy traffic at peak holiday times i.e. it took us an hour from airport. Leave before 8.00am if you need to leave the island for day trips etc. Although Krka park was beautiful it was heaving when we went and the boat trips were all fully booked. I would avoid in high season. If you like old Forts/Castles I would reccommend Klis not far inland from Split amazing well preserved fort, also Omis with the river and forts breathtaking scenery. The water taxi is the only way to travel to Trogir very easy and no problem.
We ate regularly at Mali Raj always excellent food but not always great service. New restaurant just down the road Bistro Renata - good pizzas and fairly cheap.
We would definately return and recommend
Penthouse Mavarcica.

Thanks for a wonderful stay at your Penthouse...
We stayed at Penthouse Mavarcica in September 2008, the weather was great and the place was still buzzing with people..
Alison's description was accurate and we were delighted the view is exactly as the pictures show. The penthouse itself had everything we needed and had some added extras like cd's, games and books. It was so clean and very spacious for our party of 5. There are two full bathrooms which are pretty large. We would wake up each morning and have our breakfast on the balcony, enjoying the amazing views, it really is so peaceful to look out over the Adriatic in the early hours..
Alison was very efficient to deal with and the service from Vlado when we arrived was great. We will be recommending this apartment and the area to friends.
Ciovo is a delightful little island and so handy to get to as you don't have to get a ferry - its attached by bridge to Trogir - it took us 15 minutes to get to the apartment. Trogir is a delight, with its narrow street and walls - you really need to experience its magic...
We loved the trip to Krka. We also took up the offer to go rafting which was a day we'll remember forever - such fun...
A restaurant tip for Trogir - Marco Polo
A restaurant tip for Ciovo - Villa Katarina and restaurant at the block itself is very very nice. The staff are very friendly too.
We'll be back - I know that for sure...

I must say going on holiday to Croatia was the best decision we made regarding holidays ever. It was so beautiful and your apartment was lovely and clean, airy and comfortable. The kitchen was very well equipped and having the dishwasher was a relief with the washing up!! The views from the balcony, living room and bedroom were breath taking and waking to that every morning was one of the luxuries of the holiday. Having two children 12 and 7 years who loved the pool which was very clean and clear with no chlorine was wonderful. We loved the restaurants locally and in Trogir particularly the Top Balloon - the kids loved the great pizzas and we loved the fantastic fish and meat dishes. We went to the Krka Park which was so beautiful and peaceful. The water taxi was a great way of getting into Trogir with all the buzz of the street entertainment and live music in the squares. The welcome pack was very helpful with all the info on the area and music cds.
Thanks for a wonderful holiday from all of us. We would recommend you, and already have :)

First I want to say thanks for a great holiday. Your apartment was so clean and spacious, with fantastic views. Having two bathrooms and another separate toilet was ideal as there is six in our family. The balcony with access from both livingroom and main bedroom was great and drinking coffee there in the morning sun was just heavenly. The pool was great, clean and chlorine free, so it was even nicer than swimming in the clear sea water just down the road. The view from the pool area overlooking the bay was really beautiful. The small beach with cafe and diving school only three minutes away is a great attraction.The village, only ten minutes walk away has everything- supermarket, bakery, bars, restaurants, church, post office, ATM, hairdresser, doctor and pharmacy. For good measure an internet cafe opened recently. If that is not enough there is the added attraction of Trogir, which is 2400 years old, and only minutes away by taxi or water taxi. I loved it and felt that I had gone back in time when I visited there. We took on your recommendation to visit the Krka National Park. This was an amazing place, surely a place to be put on the "Must Visit" list of all who travel to this area. We couldn't get over the quality of the food in the restaurants and the low prices made the quality seem even better!
I certaily hope to visit again and if I do I will be making contact with you. Thanks again for helping us have such a great time.
