An Exceptional Stay with Outstanding Hospitality
Mario proved to be an extraordinary host at a truly remarkable property. From the moment we arrived, his attention to detail was evident—he accommodated our flexible check-in needs and welcomed us with a thoughtfully curated local charcuterie board. His introduction to the wine cellar and honor-system pantry immediately set the tone for the trust and hospitality that defined our entire stay.
Mario took genuine care in walking us through all the property's amenities, but the highlight was when he scheduled a special evening to prepare an authentic local cuisine dinner cooked over an outdoor fire. This wasn't just a meal—it was one of our most memorable dining experiences in all of Croatia, showcasing both his culinary skills and dedication to creating unique guest experiences.
Throughout our stay, Mario's responsiveness was impeccable. Whether we needed additional towels or assistance with the hot tub heater, he was always just a message away and arrived promptly to help.
The property itself is stunning--which he built himself over the past decade. The indoor spaces are beautifully decorated, spacious, and flooded with natural light, while the outdoor areas are nothing short of spectacular. The heated pool and covered dining area created the perfect setting for relaxation, and the herb garden available for guest use was a delightful touch that enhanced our culinary adventures.
The location couldn't have been better—trips into Split were incredibly convenient, while we enjoyed the tranquility of being just a 10-minute walk from a beautiful beach and a wonderful beachfront restaurant and bar. This perfect balance of accessibility and serenity made the property ideal for both exploration and relaxation.
Having stayed at over 50 Airbnb properties in the past decade, I can confidently say this ranks among the very best. The exceptional value, combined with a property and host that far exceeded our already high expectations, makes this a standout experience. Mario, we'll definitely be back!

Villa Praska is a fantastic property in a great location. The beach and promenade is a short 10 minute walk away with plenty of good food options. The villa is beautifully appointed, swimming pool is a good size, sauna heats up quickly and works very well.
Very luxurious feel to the villa as a whole.
Mario and his wife Tihana were great hosts and provided plenty of recommendations, we followed as many as we could in the week we had and will return and no doubt follow some of the rest.
Highly recommend.

We stayed there during our holidays in May. We had amazing time. The house is beautiful and both the swimming pool and the jacuzzi are great! We visited the place with a 2 YO toddler and we really appreciated that there were a crib and a baby chair. Additionaly, Mario was a great host, very helpful through the whole visit. We can highly recommend Villa Praska!
