Perched on the tip of the peninsula jutting out of the village of Zavalatica, it’s commanding position and beautiful views out to sea and to the islands will relax and revive you. It is also only a short walk to a pretty turquoise bay for more swimming and sunbathing, and in the other direction, to a terrific local Konoba (domestic restaurant) and shop.
The house has a very private location despite having houses on either side. The plot is large and access to the sea is usually limited to those staying at the property so this makes for the perfect getaway whilst being close to civilization and everything you might need. The little harbour close by is idyllic and on the one side and there’s a superb bay on the other side which makes a perfect ‘off the beaten track’ beach location.
A car isn’t necessary but we’d recommend one for getting to the villa and for sightseeing – Korcula Town is a half hour drive away and this is a must-see - the Old Town of Korcula is a beautiful medieval town which is full of atmosphere and has many little shops and café/bars/restaurants, including a cocktail bar on one of the town’s turrets! If you have a car then you can explore the islands beautiful and lush villages, or why not take a trip to the Island of Mljet (a national park) which lies between Korcula Island and Dubrovnik. It makes for a wonderful day trip and is a sight to see indeed. The Peljesac Peninsula is also just a short hop on the little ferry and also has sweet little villages to explore – great if you want to try your hand at a spot of wind or kite surfing!

From the Visitors’ Book:
“We had a fabulous visit to the villa with our friends from Kent.
Villa is second to none with excellent hospitality from Renata.
Hope to return someday for another great holiday.
Cathy & David, Scotland”. June 2016
From the Visitors’ Book:
“Staying on this island has been an absolute pleasure to say the least. The best host, the best company, the best food and the best views I have laid eyes on in a long time.
We loved the kayaks and strongly recommend the small beach to the left. We have also enjoyed many lovely nights at the bar in the port, which is run by the most wonderful men (ask for Boris).
Thank you, Croatia for having us, we loved every second.
The Garders and Kent Contingency, England” July 2016

“4th – 18th June 2016
Heaven on earth. Thank you for a wonderful holiday. Renata is a star.
The Eliston family”
“Hi Saron
It's hard to believe we've been back since Tuesday, where does the time go?
We had a lovely holiday in Korcula, despite the turbulent weather! At times it was lovely and sunny, but so unpredictable it was hard to plan things.
I don't know if you realise, but although a laundry room is included in the facilities at Villa Zavalia, Renata wouldn't let us use it, but insisted on taking all our washing away and returning it cleaned and ironed. With a baby, a small child and eight adults it was no mean feat. She really is a star, that woman, and nothing was too much trouble. And what a holiday for me having to do no washing.
One small point you might like to know, but we didn't realise there were no internal stairs in the villa, so Emilia (4) slept in the twin room on the middle floor, which was fine while we were all up, but one of her parents had to sleep with her in case she woke in the night (not very conducive for a romantic holiday for them!) It was fine when my niece arrived, during the second week.
We were very impressed with Croatia Gems and the service we received, especially when the storms struck. We found your company was indeed very caring and thoughtful and we appreciated the free loan of the kayaks which the young enjoyed.
With our thanks and very best wishes.
David and Pinkie” June 2016
"To Renata and Francis,
Thank you for all the driving around you have done for us. We have had a lovely time. Thank you for an amazing stay in the Villa. Had lovely weather. Also thank you for the opportunity to stay in this amazing place. It made Oliver’s 10th birthday with the amazing cake also made by Renata.
We are glad we discovered Croatia. Also thank you to Renata for making our holiday even more special and spoiling us. We will definitely be visiting and staying in this villa again.
We will miss staying here!
Thank you again from the Bonner family from England."
May/June 2016
“Hi Saron
Thank you very much. May I say, as you know I've travelled independently to Croatia many times and booked Villas etc but the service your company has provided to date has been excellent and I'd have no hesitation recommending you or using you again next year
Lawrie” June 2016
“Hi Denise, I would like to thank you and your team at Croatia Gems, for a fantastic holiday! We had the greatest time ever, probably one of our best holidays! We didn’t realize what a pretty country it is, and all the people are so friendly. All of the drivers we had to do our transfers and trips went out of their way to make sure our trips were comfortable and that we had everything we needed, not to mention all the information they gave us about their lovely country! Villa Zavalia is pure paradise!! We didn’t want to leave!!! Croatia Gems is definitely the travel rep we will use again, as we would now love to visit the other areas of Croatia” Caroline, July
“An amazing week in the beautiful sun
Together we had a lot of fun
The pool is idyllic and the views are great
We all vote this as top rate
Villa Zavalia a lovely place to retreat
The space and facilities are quite unique
We saw a dolphin at breakfast a rare sight,
A beautiful creature black and white
Down at the sea an octopus was seen
The camera caught it, we were very keen
We are so grateful for God’s creation
Being here it was a wonderful location
We must return to our humble abode
Off we sadly go we must hit the road.”
Trimmer family, Croydon 2015
