Guest Feedback

Having decided to come to Croatia, originally Sarah and I were planning a fairly rough and ready trip that involved a lot of travelling around. However, once we found out Sarah was going to be four months pregnant, a more relaxing break became of greater importance.
We scoured the internet for some accommodation in our ‘target’ area, came across Little Vinisce at fairly short notice, and booked it straight away praying it was as good as it looked.
Happily and to our enormous relief, it was. Vinisce is a simply beautiful spot, and I would imagine will remain unspoiled for many years to come. We ate breakfast every day on the balcony, admiring the view of the bay and keeping track of yacht movements. It was hot that week, with temperatures around the 105 degree-mark in old money and we were very glad of the air conditioning in our apartment (and the car).
And we also slipped into a pleasant ritual of an early-evening, sunset swim before usually heading out to one of the handful of village restaurants.

Carol and Paul were extremely welcoming, friendly, and sociable hosts – we really enjoyed the BBQ night.
And on the days when we wanted to go and do our own thing and explore a bit further afield, they were always a ready source of helpful advice and tips.

Trogir – particularly an evening meal in one of the courtyard restaurants – Split, Primosten and the Krka National Park are ‘must-do’s’, and a hire car is pretty much an essential to get the most out of the stay.
Both of us have very fond memories of Croatia and our time at Little Vinisce, and I’m sure we will return – although now the country has had the Michael Palin treatment, it may all be a bit more in demand!

Thanks again Carol and Paul for helping make it a wonderful stay, and hopefully we’ll be back with our new arrival soon.

Best wishes, Sarah and Hector – Surrey, England (July 2007)

My first visit to Croatia and certainly won't be my last. Lovely, laid back country, nice people, great weather. Combine that with fabulous accommodation at Apartments Little Vinisce, and wonderful hosts who can't do enough for you, and you get the perfect holiday. Paul & Carol, thank you so much for looking after Bill and me during our visit June / July 2007.

Dear Paul and Carol

Thank you for making our stay in Croatia so successful. It was an enormous help being able to ask you for help with everything from computer access to large cooking pots, pizza deliveries and where to park in Split! It was really kind of to let all the French family stay for the night and to cook for so many.

We all had a marvellous time, and have been regaling our friends and family with stories of parasailing and leaping from high rocks. I hope you enjoy the end of the visitor season and then have a holiday yourselves.

Best wishes,
Fiona, Paul & Family, England - August 2007

Hi Paul & Carol

Just a quick note to thank you for a wonderful holiday in Vinisce in Sept. We normally drive to Spain but on this occasion decided to choose Croatia. Getting there by road was so easy and when we arrived in Vinisce it was just as you described - a beautiful tranquil Bay. The accommodation certainly lived up to its 3 star rating and the service we received was second to none. We will certainly recommend your Apartments as we felt we had the best of both worlds, i.e. peace and tranquillity combined with friendly restaurants on the Bay , but also only a 20 minute drive to visit busy Trogir. We are returning to Vinisce again in 2006 with a few more friends and are sure we will enjoy the holiday as much second time around, so get the beers cooling - see you in June.

Regards

Dear Paul and Carol,

Vinisce Bay is a lovely setting in which to relax and unwind and a base to explore Dalmatia. The excellent accommodation at Little Vinisce apartments is self-catering. However, this is self-catering with a difference . The British owners Paul and Carol reside on the lower floor and for the duration of our holiday they did everything, particularly as we visited out of season, to make our holiday a truly memorable one, extremely helpful but never intrusive. Their advertised wish is that they hope visitors will leave as friends. I think we did, and we will certainly return in the future.

Best wishes

Dear Carol and Paul
We had such a lovely time in Croatia, mostly due to the warm welcome, friendly response to all our requests and your kindness to us all that we felt an expression of our gratitude to you both was due to you from Jennifer, Gemma, Mair and myself. The apartment is ideal, its location and setting is perfect, and it could not be managed by a nicer couple. Once again, thanks to you both for all your kindness.

Hi Carol & Paul

Thanks for making my first every holiday abroad at 82 so special. I can now see why you and Paul have decided to move to Croatia and 'live the dream'. Vinisce is a truly tranquil Bay and the locals are so friendly - it reminded me so much of family life as it used to be in the UK. The little village of Vinisce can only get better without being spoilt and this combined with friendly hospitality, makes it an ideal holiday destination for families with small children or anyone wanting a total relaxing holiday. We wish you both all the luck in the world in your new adventure - see you soon.
Lots of love

Hello to you both
Just a short mail to thank you both so much for a wonderful holiday, we really enjoyed our time in Croatia. We appreciated your kindness and we were particularly impressed by your calm and happy approach to any of our queries. We thought your apartments were excellent and certainly well equipped; we will have no hesitation in recommending them to our family and friends here in the UK. Thanks again Paul for driving us about and we loved your BBQ's and Carol we couldn't have asked for anything more.
Love
Margaret and John

Hi Paul and Carol
We meant to send a note when we got back from croatia, back in June, but completely forgot! Thank you for all you did for us while we stayed with you! It was a great way for us all to celebrate the end of our university careers. The apartments were fantastic, with amazing views, and it was so easy to get into Trogir, and Split as well. You gave us all a great service, with organising trips for us (the fishing picnic was our favourite!), driving us round, booking our minibus and your BBQs....and just being great hosts! Hope you are both well.
Best Wishes

Hi Paul & Carol,
We just wanted to say thank you for making our trip to Croatia such a wonderful one. The two of you were a big reason this holiday getaway was such a success. From the moment you greeted us in Trogir, until the all-too-soon drop off at the airport, you both treated us as if we were family. We couldn't have asked for anything more. And to top it off, the studio apartment with LARGE terrace was fantastic! The location on the bay was perfect for relaxing with busier attractions a scenic ride away. Good luck to you and we hope to see you again in the future.
Best Wishes,
Tom & Lena, Russia

What a wonderful time we had staying at Paul and Carol's seaside home .
We had the opportunity to stay in both the studio, and the two bedroom apartment and enjoyed them both. What an amazing view especially from the studio's huge balcony. They had everything we needed, including a nicely appointed kitchen and even a delicious bottle of wine waiting for us to start the holiday off right.
Vinisce is such a charming town, perfect for relaxing and getting away from all the regular hectic routines that we get into.
Paul and Carol are so warm and welcoming, we felt that we were staying with close friends...but also that we had our privacy...a very nice balance of being cared for, and also being independent.
Needless to say we can't wait to return to "Little Vinisce" and stay with them again. Croatia is so beautiful and Vinisce is breathtaking.
We could not have asked for anything better.
Thanks again Paul and Carol!
Sincerely
Peter and Frank
