Me and my seven friends had a great day. The house were lovely and recommended a lot of things to do. The location is perfect as outside split so the restaurants nearby are much cheaper than inside split there is a big shop only five minute walk away and loads of lovely little things to do around the area.

A fantastic accommodation for a slightly larger family! We were seven adults and a small child and it was absolutely perfect. We stayed for a week and had a great time. Clean, fresh and modern. The host couple were very nice and helpful. Can highly recommend this.

Our family spent a week at Villa Poquito together. 8 adults and 7 children in total. Plenty of space for everyone and opportunities for different activities. Especially appreciated was the nice pool and the patio where we could eat together. Quiet and rural surroundings. Recommended to have access to your own car to be able to go on excursions and to shop for food.

Went with my whole family for a big birthday celebration. We had a fantastic time. The villa was everything as advertised and more.
The host and local support Nic were helpful and available for any queries and also assistance and tips for excursions and local amenities.

We had an absolutely fantastic time during our 12 days in the house! The hosts were very friendly, helpful and really went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable. The house was perfect for our group of 5 adults and 3 children, with plenty of space and everything we needed for a comfortable holiday. We can highly recommend this accommodation and would love to return. You will not be disappointed!

I would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a great apartment, close to the beach and walkable distance to Omis. Jelena was really helpful and even made us a cake whilst we were there. The apartment itself was spotless and the garden area was a real highlight. Marko was also very helpful and arranged an airport transfer for us, as well as a private boat tour which was the highlight of the holiday for all of Us. 10/10

The villa was beautifully decorated, well equipped with lovely gardens in 3 areas. Super viewed and lots of sitting options both inside and out. There is a 5 minute walk up a slightly steep hill to reach the villa. The owners were generous and considerate, providing food and drink items on our arrival ( cold meats, cheeses, bread, wine and beer etc). Thank you Home Pandza for a lovely holiday.

We had the pleasure of being guests at Mira’s villa. We highly recommend both Mira and Marko. Communication was very pleasant, and all our questions were answered. The price was reasonable. Everything looked exactly as it did online. We would gladly return anytime. Warm regards, Mara and Marco.

We thoroughly enjoyed our holiday in this beautiful holiday home in Pučišća. We were delighted from the moment we arrived: the house is not only very well-maintained, but also exceptionally clean and lovingly furnished. Everything was prepared down to the last detail, so we felt welcome from the very first moment.

The location is fantastic – quiet, with a magnificent view, and yet close enough to easily reach everything on foot.

We especially loved the cozy atmosphere, which made it easy to simply unwind and enjoy our days to the fullest.

You can immediately tell that a lot of heart and soul has gone into this place. For us, it was the perfect place to relax, spend time as a family, and experience Croatia at its finest.

Dogs are also very welcome here.

We highly recommend this holiday home and would definitely come back!

I had an amazing trip to Croatia in July 2025. Our travels took us to Split and we stayed at Home Lanterna in Solin, on the outskirts of Split. As we were a party of 8, we were able to get the 2 apartments with sole access to the pool and grounds. After a busy day exploring it was great to get back to the apartment and relax by the pool. The hosts are amazing people, super accommodating and friendly. We had a car for the first 4 days and explored the surrounding area. Once we no longer had the car, we travelled by bus. The bus stop is located close to the house so there was never a problem getting around. Also, the bakery, grocery and some restaurants are all within walking distance. A very nice place to stay. I would definitely recommend

We had an amazing stay at Villa Ella Estella in Mimice for our family reunion. The villa was the perfect size for three families, with a pool, jacuzzi, and air conditioning in every room. The location is ideal — just a short walk to the beach, shops, and restaurants. Marco and Mira are outstanding hosts and even helped us arrange airport transfers and a boat trip. Croatia is so welcoming — we strongly recommend this villa for a relaxing holiday!

We had an amazing holiday in this apartment, very close to the beach, with a short walk to the supermarket and town of Omis and various watersporting activities on the river. Helena the host was great, very attentive and helped where possible, leaving a goodie hamper and midweek left very nice homemade local cheesecake. The apartment itself was very clean and fully equipped with a great swimming pool and plenty of areas to sit either in the sun or the shade. I would thoroughly recommend and would not hesitate to return again myself in the future. Thank you

Fabulous, tranquil villa. Stayed here as a family group of 14 and was amazing. Booked via AirBnB. Very quiet area 35-40 mins from the coast/supermarkets.

We needed a big place for all relatives with their families so it was worth it. The host is very kind. He drove three hours to get us a much appreciated coffee machine and a toaster. The neighbor/keeper got us pancakes and wine.
Placing is also great in the mountains , although far from the sea. 🙂
A bike is welcome in the area. I was glad to have my road bike with me. There is a lot to be seen and discovered.
The appartement was clean but a bit counterintuitive (toilet placed in front of the shower) 😁
All in all, nice but consider all
