Delightful: Just back from a week in this super apartment. We travelled as a party of six, including my 82 year old mother, my husband and myself and three daughters aged between 17 and 23. We were after a relaxing week with easy access to the sea and good restaurants for our evening meals. This place fitted the bill perfectly. Every morning sipping coffee on the terrace admiring the beautiful view, then a meander down the steps to our private bathing platform - heavenly. The apartment is well equipped, beds are super comfy and there was plenty of space for the six of us. Mira is friendly, welcoming and extremely kind. When one of my daughters picked up a gastric bug she quickly made sure we were supplied with medication to aid her recovery. The evening stroll into Trogir took about 10 minutes and once there we were spoilt for choice of restaurants in a beautiful setting. I would advise beach shoes for the pebbly seabed or risk sore feet. We took two trips out, one with Red Adventure in Split with whom we spent a great day guided by Marco cycling round the city followed by kayaking and cliff jumping. On another day we arranged a private boat trip through Portal Travel. The coast is stunning and seeing it from the sea was lovely. One day I hope to return.

Wonderful stay in beautiful place! We stayed in Villa Bova for one week in mid-September. It was 5 of us, all adults. The villa includes 3 bedrooms and 2 bathrooms, which worked very well for our group. From the start, i.e., e-mail communications with the owner - Mira, everything proceeded smoothly: Mira promptly responded to all our questions and provided a lot additional information that helped with the planning of our trip. We paid security deposit prior to the trip, and it was returned soon after our departure. Check-in and check-out was easy; again, it was very nice to deal with Mira. She was a very gracious host, made our stay very comfortable and provided many good advices. On arrival, Mira prepared a welcome package for us: a bottle of white wine, big bottles of beer, soda and water, butter, cheese, prosciutto, bread, tomatoes, peppers and homemade cookies. A very nice touch! Thank you, Mira, for everything! You were the best host we ever had. The villa itself is not huge, but thoughtfully and nicely appointed to keep you rested and get prepared for a next adventure in the area. Moreover, for your enjoyment there is a beautiful and quite big outdoor area - one of the best parts of the property. The area is on 3 levels: level 1 is essentially an outdoor living space with a dining table and chairs, a cocktail table surrounded by a love seat and chairs, and a fireplace; level 2 – a beautiful garden; and level 3 – an own private beach with crystal clear water, a number of lounges, umbrellas, chairs and an outdoor shower between rocks (really!). While at the villa, we spent most of our time outdoors: either at the level 1 or on the beach, had all our breakfasts and some dinners outside, seen several gorgeous sunsets. Beautiful! Great views, nice landscaping, lots of flowers and a few nice art pieces. The villa is great! It is a real house with a number of details and nice touches that make a house - a house, not just a place to sleep (as a lot of rental places are). It consists of a kitchen/living room combo area, 3 bedrooms (two with king size beds and one with two twin beds) and 2 bathrooms (one is quite big and the other is smaller, yet has all typical amenities one might need in the bathroom including a toilet, shower, and a sink). There is plenty of storage places. The villa is neat and, in general, very well maintained and has everything (at least, most of the things) that one may need in a home-away-from-home. The kitchen was well stocked: all sort of dishes, glasses, cups, utensils, pots and frying pans, etc. – good quality and plenty of everything. There was also salt, pepper, some other seasonings, sugar, tea, vinegar, paper towels, detergent for dishwasher. Soap was in the both bathrooms. You may want to bring shampoo/conditioner, toothpaste, etc. The villa was also equipped with a dishwasher and a washer: very nice for our 2 weeks long vacation - less cloth to bring. It would have been handy to have a detergent for the washer (at least, for one load), but not a big deal. We had a rental car; parking space is available in front of the gate. The villa is actually10-15 min walk to the beautiful Old Town of Trogir. We loved Trogir! Especially, during weekdays! In addition, there are so many places to explore in the vicinity – both near and not so near. We went to a 6 Islands boat tour (Hvar, Blue Cave, Green Cave, Blue Lagoon, and wine tasting on Brac island), visited Krka National Park, Split, Sibenik, drove around Ciovo Island, had a spectacular wine dinner at the Bedalov family winery (very proud and gracious family, delicious wine, delicious food and an amazing sunset view from their vineyard up high on the steep mountain slope). Great memories! Overall: Great place! Beautiful house and yard! Nice beach! Great, very convenient location! So many things to see! We enjoyed our stay and highly recommend Villa Bova. If we were to come back, I would stay there again; will definitely recommend it to all our friends.

Croatia Girlie Holiday (September 2016)

Just back from this beautiful luxury villa which has everything you could wish for. It is in a lovely setting and has fab views overlooking the sea. Your own private jetty to sunbathe and relax on. The owner, Mira, is so friendly and accommodating. It is a 10 minute walk to the lovely town of Trogir which has plenty of eating places and bars or a 20 minute walk to the beach in Okrug. We visited Split and Krka National Park which are easy to reach by bus or taxi. I would certainly recommend this villa and the lovely owner, Mira. We hope to visit again in the future.

A little piece of paradise (August 2016)

We stayed at Vila Bova for a week in August and had a fabulous relaxing time. The accommodation has all the creature comforts you would need, with its own private deck right on the sea. If you had a boat there is also a moring. The views from the terrace are wonderful and the position is perfect for sipping a beverage of your choice in the evenings watching the sunset. However what makes this place so special is your hostess, Mira, who will greet you with warmth and help make your stay that little bit more unforgettable.

Perfect paradise! (August 2016)

Villa Bova was absolutely fantastic. Perfect location, walking distance of Trogir old town with its super restaurants and marina. Local shop also nearby for fresh bread and everything else one might need if self catering. The villa was beautifully furnished, spotlessly clean. The gardens/terrace were lovely. But the private jetty was what made it really special. It was magical to sit there, especially late in the afternoon as the sun began to go down. Mira, the owner of the villa, could not do enough to make our stay comfortable. She was a kind, thoughtful and generous host and made us SO welcome. I would not hesitate to recommend this as a wonderful holiday destination.

Fabulous accommodation (May 2016)

Have just returned from a family holiday at the most wonderful place to stay - Vila Bova. The place was immaculate and in a beautiful location. On arrival we were greeted by Mira who helped us find the place very easily from the airport. It is so convenient and such a short drive. The view of the sea is stunning and there so so much outdoor living space which we used every day. The private jetty and sunbathing area was fantastic and made the place feel special and exclusive. It was short walk down to Trogir old town where we enjoyed cocktails and fabulous meals every night. There is so much to see and do in the area. Our holiday was made even more special by the wonderful and kind hospitality of Mira, the owner. She went out of her way to treat us and our children with home made cakes, things to use during our stay -(the children and my husband loved the fishing rods) and overall made sure we had the most loveliest holiday ever. Thank you Mira! I cannot recommend Vila Bova in Trogir enough. We would love to come again some day.

My husband, myself and two friends have just had the most fantastic week at Villa Bova. The villa is in a stunning location and the private jetty for sunbathing which goes directly out onto the sea is brilliant for privacy. The villa is spotless inside with everything you need for a comfortable stay, the design is modern, clean and contemporary. Mira is a fantastic owner and she was so helpful and friendly during our stay. We had a lovely welcome pack on arrival and nothing was too much trouble. Trogir is a beautiful walled city in close walking distance and we had some great evenings at local restaurants watching the yachts come into the marina. Trogir also has a fantastic market with fresh produce daily too. This was our first holiday to Croatia and without a doubt we will be returning to Villa Bova again. Brilliant holiday !! Thank you Mira, with best wishes Jayne, Fraser, Philip and Sarah.

Guro Enger-Olsen & family, Norway (2015)

It was such a pleasure for all of us to be your guests this summer!! There are very few of the places we have visited around the world, where our instant thought is this is a place we could return to over and over again, but your place is. You have a fantastic property we simply did not want to leave and your very generous hospitality made our vacation this summer such a memorable time we'll never forget and we for sure also told all our friends and family about! Next summer I believe you'll have some new Norwegians visiting, who are friends of my mother in law. I am sure they will enjoy the place as much as we did! Hope all is well with you and your lovely family, that you are enjoying the winter season back in London and you have enjoyed a lovely Christmas with your family over the last weeks. Our best wishes to you and your loved ones of the New Year. May it bring you health, happiness and a peaceful 2016! We sincerely hope we'll have the chance to visit you again in the coming years, though 2016 seems to be a year we'll spend our summer in our home country enjoying our new mountain cabin.

Kevin Barnes, UK (2014)

We stayed at Villa Bova in early June. A group of friends to celebrate a 60th birthday. On arrival we were met by the owner Mira who had prepared some snacks for us. She advised where to get our supplies get the bus and the short cut into the beautiful little town which has a great market every day which was very handy as there is a barbeque area at the villa. The meat, fish,fruit and veg all fresh and the bread which is baked fresh all day. The villa is very spacious clean and bright there is lots of storage space. The kitchen is well stocked. Washing machine and tumble dryer in larger of bathrooms. Mira has worked very hard to make everybody comfortable she went out of her way to find any information we needed. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Lewis, Kent, UK (2014)

We stayed at Villa Bova in September and really thought that it was completely perfect. The apartment is large, very comfortable and beautifully laid out. It contained everything we could possibly need for our stay. There is a sun terrace to enjoy the views and a large garden leading down to the private beach. The apartment was a short walk from the center of Trogir. The owner Mira, is a charming and unobtrusive hostess who did everything to ensure that we had a wonderfully memorable and relaxing stay.

Philippe and family, Dijon, France (2014)

We have arrived at home in Dijon, everything passed well. Thank you again for your hospitality Mira. Everything was perfect. You have been very kind to us. Thank you so much. We enjoyed time in your home and and we were very happy spending time in Trogir. You are also a five star owner. Take care Mira and see you for sure in Trogir again. Big kisses from all the family. Best regards Philippe and family from Dijon.

This holiday will be the one that stick in our mind and harts after coming to Croatia for many years with my Slovakian family. There truly is something good and magical about this villa and wonderful Mira has provided this home from home feel for everyone. Book early because Villa Bova will be unavailable. Thank you Mira XXXX
