“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”

VILLA ZAVALIA – ZAVALATICA BAY, KORCULA ISLAND

Villa Zavalia is a fabulous villa with infinity pool on the beautiful island of Korcula – breathtaking location right on the sea edge.

Description

If you are looking for a fabulous villa with infinity pool on Korcula, Villa Zavalia ticks lots of boxes. Perched on the tip of the peninsula jutting out of the village of Zavalatica, it has a commanding position and beautiful views out to sea.

The interior of the villa is a combination of  Mediterranean and contemporary   The villa has four double bedrooms and a twin room all en-suite & downstairs there is a spacious living area, dining area and fully equipped kitchen.

The fabulous villa with infinity pool 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. There’s a superb bay on one side which makes a perfect ‘off the beaten track’ beach and it’s also only a short walk to the village  with a terrific local Konoba (domestic restaurant) pizza place Cakula which does everything from coffee to great pizza and a local shop.

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 quite lovely – it’s possible to hire bikes to explore or there are loads of hiking tracks.

The Peljesac Peninsula is also just a short hop on the little ferry and also has sweet little fishing villages to explore – great beaches very popular with campers rather than your usual hotel crowd , they tend to have some great beach restaurants too. Head for places like Perna if you want to try your hand at a spot of wind or kite surfing! The wind picks up in the afternoon and the channel between the Peninsula and the island makes for perfect conditions.

Food & wine is a big thing here as it is all over Croatia now. The island is known for some award winning wines and there is a local vineyard just outside the village . Local food fairs happen through the year with everything from Pizza making lessons  to shellfish preparation and of course there are plenty of wine tours.

Of course should you want to cook yourself at your fabulous villa with infinity pool there is plenty of local produce to enjoy. Your lovely housekeeper will be happy to suggest the best places to shop. Or you can also send a pre-arrival shopping list and she will make sure it’s all there for you ready. For a night off Konoba Albert in the village is happy to deliver.

How Long Does it Take to get to the villa from Split / Dubrovnik Airport?

As a rough guide (not accounting for your flight/ferry times/traffic/borders etc):

  • From Dubrovnik Airport it is around a 2 hours 15 minute drive to get to the town of Orebic, then there is a 15 minute ferry ride form Orebic across to Korcula Town, and then about a half hour drive on to the villa from there (so from Dubrovnik Airport it is approximately 3 hours assuming that you get straight onto ferries and do not have to wait for them).
  • Or if you fly to Split Airport you can drive to Split Port (approx half an hour from the airport) take the ferry to Vela Luka and drive from there – the ferry takes around an hour and a quarter and then it is about an hour’s drive to the villa. Again, approx 3 hours in total assuming you do not have to wait at all for ferries. If you go via Split Port then you can also store luggage by the ferries and go and have a wander around the Old Town of Split as it is right there next to the ferry port. There are lots of nice restaurants, coffee bars and shops so plenty of nice things to do if you need to wait for a ferry and they ferries are lovely for watching the islands go by.

Reviews

“Hi Helen,

We had a fantastic holiday – many thanks!  

Villa Zavalia was also excellent – quite different to Godi Star, but a good contrast.  Renata was really helpful too, particularly when we managed to lock ourselves on one of the terraces one evening!

Already thinking of our next trip!

Regards, Simon” August 2017

“Hello,

It was a great holiday that we thoroughly enjoyed. Renata was great as well. Please feel free to give my email to any client if you need references, I will gladly highly recommend the Zavalia and Croatia Gems.

kind regards, CR” July 2017

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

From the Visitors’ Book:
“4th – 18th June 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.

Renata 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.

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
