Very comfortable house in a quiet and beautiful location
We were warmly welcomed by Vedrana who was there when needed but unobtrusive. The house is comfortable and provides flexible accommodation, set in a beautiful garden.

Lovely spot and delightful host
We had a wonderful 10 days at Lumbarda..The property was roomy, comfortable and spotless and we particularly enjoyed the garden and the swimming. There is a little beach just below the house and 2 more about 15 minutes walk away, all with cafes. There are two good restaurants just below the house and some excellent ones in Lumbarda. Beware mosquitoes after dusk - there are plenty of Raid plugs though. For the information of future guests, because it wasn't clear from the listing, the downstairs flat has two bedrooms -double and twin - while the two upstairs flats are roomy studios, each with a big double bed. All flats seem to have sofabeds too. The kitchen is adequate but has no oven or dishwasher. Supermarket and bakery about 10 minutes walk away. Lastly almost no shops - except supermarkets - or restaurants take cards. Plenty of ATMs in Lumbarda

Leisurely vacation in a beautiful house
We enjoyed our relaxing holiday in Vedranas beautiful house. The house was very clean, we had lot of space inside and outside of the house. Communication with Vedrana was very good before, during and after our stay. All questions were answered directly, she is very friendly and helpful. We and our little dog felt very welcome! The house is in a good location. Shopping and going out for dinner can be done by foot. There are some beaches, you can reach by foot too. If you want to reach lonely beaches or bigger supermarkets, you have to use the car, but distances are not to big. We were on nice hiking trips on the island and found great places to swim, snorkel and relax. Thank you, Vedrana, for being allowed to be your guest, we enjoyed it very much!

Perfect stay
We had the whole house for us (2 families with children) and everything was as we expected it to be. The place is quiet, well shaded. Our host was nice. The house sits on the top of the hill overlooking Tatinja Beach and is with a nice view of Sveti Rok church.

Lovely courtyard, attentive host, pretty accessible
Beautiful historic building, cosy and practical. Particularly lovely to have the charming host right next door - so informative and helpful. The private courtyard is a particularly nice feature - catching the morning sun, and then providing shade in the hight of the hot days. The house was the perfect layout for us. The ground floor apartment accommodated two of us - and was practical for a wheelchair user who is able to manage just one or two steps, and the close bathroom was easy to negotiate on two sticks (& grab rail inside the shower would have made it feel even more accessible and secure) . Another part of the family had the upstairs section - with lovely views and their own kitchenettes. This meant we could have good separate and together time for a harmonious two-generation family holiday. A quick nip down the hill for the swimmers in the company gave quick access to a small beach and warm seas. A short walk to the supermarket made provisioning easy. A lovely time was had by us all in this lovely holiday home.

Toller Urlaub in Lumbarda
Fr. Vedrana war leider verhindert aber Marija ( Nachbarin) hat alles zu unserer vollsten Zufriedenheit geregelt. Die Appartments entsprachen unseren Erwartungen was Grösse und Aufteilung angehen.Die Lage ist kaum zu toppen ( direkt unterhalb einer Burg) mit seitlichem Meerblick. 2 Restaurants in max. 5 min Entfernung. Torkul und Feral beide sehr empfehlenswert. Da das WQetter nicht optimal war konnten wir die Strände nur in Augenschein nehmen. Da muss sich die Komune allerdings anstrengen denn 2 der 3 Strände in der Umgebung waren regelrecht versaut.Müll zerbrochene Möbel und der allgegenwärtige Plastikmüll verschandeln die an sich netten Strände. Wir haben einige sehr nette Wanderungen in der Umgebung gemacht wobei die Beschilderung mit Ausnahme zum Berg Kom sehr ausbaufähig ist. Wäre Aufgabe des Fremdenverkehrsverband es . Sehr zu empfehlen ist das Restaurant Maslina, ca 3 km entfernt.Es war alles in allem ein sehr gelungener Urlaub für 7 Personen. Man kann Korcula und besonders Lumbarda nur empfehlen sobald die Strandreinigung durchgeführt wurde.

Es war ein superschöner Urlaub
Die Vermieterin, Verdrana, die auch am Ort wohnt, ist reizend, hilfsbereit und sehr freundlich. Wir waren 8 Personen , eine Familie, zwischen 8-80 Jahren alt. Durch die unterschiedlichen Wohnungsbereiche und die Ruhezonen draussen, war es möglich, sowohl Vieles gemeinsam, aber auch getrennt zu machen. Es war alles, was wir benötigten, vorhanden. Der Supermarkt ist in der Nähe, die Stadt Korčula ist sowohl mit dem Bus, als auch mit einem Taxi komfortabel zu erreichen. Wie alle können es sehr empfehlen und würden es jederzeit wieder buchen.

Sehr entspannte und ruhige Unterkunft
Das schöne Steinhaus befindet sich in einem ruhigen Ortsteil im familienfreundlichen Lumbarda. Über wenige Steintreppen gelangt man zum klaren Meer. Man kann entweder entspannt auf der Veranda chillen mit Blick auf den spitzen Glockenturm von Sveti Roko oder die reizende Umgebung mit Weingärten, Olivenhainen und alten Steinmauern erkunden. Wir wurden von der freundlichen Besitzerin mit selbstgemachten Naschereien begrüßt und mit einem dalmatinischen Kuchen verabschiedet. Erholung pur!

PARADIES auf Erden im MAI 2018 von Eva
Liebe Vedrana, wir haben von unseren 4 Wochen bei Dir keinen Tag bereut. Wir wurden herzlich aufgenommen und auch unser Hund war gern gesehen auch bei den Einheimischen. Der kleine grüne Innenhof war idyllisch und wir konnten ganz für uns sein, wenn wir wollten. Du hast uns jeden Wunsch, wenn irgend möglich, erfüllt. Danke auch für den herrlichen und so schön dekorierten Kuchen, den Du für uns gebacken hast und das kleine Fläschchen für das Wohlbefinden. Das Haus und der Garten sind mit Liebe und Geschmack hergerichtet und alles war sehr gepflegt.. Wir haben gerne in den Korbstühlen gesessen und auch auf dem Korbsofa mit Blick auf das Weindach, wo wir die Seele baumeln lassen konnten.Der kleine Strand ist wirklich nur 50 m entfernt, aber wir sind gerne den kleinen KÜSTENPFAD (1 km) zu dem nächsten Sandstrand geschlendert, wo unser Hund mit Begeisterung schwimmen konnte, wir natürlich auch, denn das Wasser ist herrlich klar und auch von den Temperaturen gab es nichts auszusetzen. Im Mai ist es noch beschaulich und nicht überlaufen. Korcula Stadt ist sehenswert und auch Dubrovnik haben wir nicht ausgelassen und haben eine Tagestour mit dem KATAMARAN gemacht. Wir sind über die komplette Stadtmauer von Dubrovnik gegangen mit dem herrlichen Blick über die Dächer und auf die Hinterhöfe. Von den 4 KROATIEN-URLAUBEN war dies der schönste. Wir wünschen Dir, liebe Vedrana, Gesundheit und das noch viele Gäste den Aufenthalt bei Dir genießen werden.

Idyllische paradijs in Lumbarda
Onze verblijf bij Vedrana was een droom. Het huis is prachtig, sfeervol, netjes maar relaxed. We waren negen in totaal - drie families met drie kinderen - maar vonden dat we toch genoeg privacy hadden op de momenten dat we daar behoefde aan hadden omdat we drie aparte woningen ter ons beschikking hadden. Anderzijds waren de 3 verschillende terrasjes ideaal om samen te eten, tijd door te brengen, en gewoon samen te ontspannen. Vedrana is een fantastische gastvrouw. Ze heeft ons verwelkomt met een zelfgemaakte taart en was altijd beschikbaar als we iets nodig hadden. Ze gaf ons tips over Lumbarda, de stranden, wandelmogelijkheden, inkoop mogelijkheden (zodat we direct van lokale boeren verse groende konden kopen) en leerde ons over locale kruiden en geneeskrachtige planten. We hebben bij Vedrana niet alleen een ideale vakantieplek gevonden maar ook een bijzondere persoon en we kijken het naar uit om weer bij haar van de Kroatische idylle te genieten.

The house is simply wonderful and the garden is a little peace of heaven. Ms. Vedrana is a very special guest and her simple but careful style made easy and nice our relationship from the beginning. We experienced very good time in Korcula enjoying beautiful beaches and landscapes.

"Une ravissante maison en pierre au coeur du "vieux lumbarda" qui a entièrement répondu à nos attentes. Terrasses ombragées, aire de jeu pour les enfants, charmes des oliviers,cadre pittoresque. On peut se passer de la voiture (enfin!) et profiter des plaisirs de l''île : le port, la plage, le marché sont trés proches. Une semaine de vrai dépaysement. Un grand merci à Védrana, la propriétaire, pour son sens de l''accueil et pour l'' aménagement de la maison de bon goût qui fait qu''on se sent tout de suite bien . Tout cela nous donne envie de revenir très vite! et l''île est si jolie!"

We were so lucky to find this beautiful stone house. The accommodation is even more spacious than I thought from the pictures. There is lots of outside space too. One seating area is under a vine which provides a lovely shade. The house and the gardens are very private and not overlooked by other houses or passers by. We rented the whole house, two apartments upstairs and one larger downstairs. There were 10 of us, ages 5 to 77, and it worked perfectly for all of us. Very clean, bright and spacious. The house is in excellent location too. Sandy beach just one minute down the steps, as well as the best pizza restaurant in Lumbarda, supermarket 2-3 minutes walk. Vedrana, very kind owner of the house, greeted us on arrival with beautiful fresh salad, cheese, fruit, just what we needed after a long journey. Vedrana was also able to recommend good restaurants and very professional and efficient taxi company. Lumbarda is a beautiful place and we would not change anything about our holiday (apart from make it longer). Korcula town is very near and good to visit, but we preferred staying in Lumbarda. Great wine and fish. Easy to hire a boat if you wish to visit the small surrounding islands. Or you can get a taxi boat. If you were lucky to come across this accommodation, do not look any further.

About the host

Hosted by Vedrana Krsinic

Host profile image
I am an art critic and curator living in Zagreb and Lumbarda. I enjoy in my Lumbarda's home which is a part of renaissance summer country residence under protection of the government as a cultural monument.

Why they chose this property

In the 16th century aristocrats of Korcula have built several summer country residences ('Kastil') in Lumbarda. I inherited one of these marvelous old estates. My ancestors had invested a lot of effort to maintain the property. In return they got a privilege of living a long, simple and peaceful life in beautiful surroundings. My aim is to pursue in their footsteps

What makes this property unique

Many homes for rent are similar. By abandoning traditional construction methods that were in relation to local ambient, they have unfortunately lost the specific identity of Mediterranean houses. Vila Kastil, however, maintained to keep the appearance characteristic of old Dalmatian villas. It is a part of renaissance summer country residence that is under protection of the Croatian Ministry of Culture as a cultural monument. Whilst staying at Villa Kastil, you will find peace and beauty of antique environments
