A wonderful villa – but we felt let down by the owner
This is a lovely property and the location is superb. I agree with what's been said in the many 5-star reviews. However, we feel we have to drop a star because we didn't quite get what was promised. The property description said a motor boat would be available to guests, and this is what really sold it to us. However, when we came to complete the booking the owner said the boat was no longer available and tried to gloss over this as though it didn't matter. Yes it did! We ended up renting a boat for a few days at €180 a day, feeling we'd be short changed. The owner never offered to lower the price to reflect this lost amenity. I notice the current listing says the villa has a hot tub, which it does not. Accuracy of description is important and I hope this will be noted.
That said, we had a superb family holiday and enjoyed the kayaks and sup boards. The villa has every amenity you could expect with a nice little pool and a great view to the harbour three minutes away. We found Brac peaceful and beautiful, the seas is crystal clear and there are many great beaches and coves for swimming.
Locally there's a shop where you can get basic provisions, the largest big supermarket is in Supetar.
One warning to those not familiar with Croatia. We found it surprisingly expensive, especially eating out. One local restaurant was charging €54 for grilled bream! A car is essential. Hire one from Split Airport (great deals through carjet.com) as Brac car rentals are 3x the price.
