Family-friendly vacation rentals in Balkans

Mia has a beautiful home. It was lovely! The garden in the back, the patio and the gorgeous sun room were fantastic. Mia’s mother delivered lovely pastries from her shop and some delicious local prosciutto. She was super responsive to anything we needed. The location was fantastic. We just hopped on the tram and went into the city. The layout was great for 5 people. HIGHLY recommend

We loved staying in the restored old stone house in the heart of Motovun, and Goran was an easygoing, helpful and welcoming host!

We had a great stay at Alberico’s place. The house was nice clean and beautiful. Within a short drive to many places on the Amalfi Coast. Alberico and his wife were very helpful with recommendations and and very responsive. Thank you we will be back!

I had a wonderful stay at this house. It’s located in a quiet countryside setting, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The highlight of the stay was definitely the jacuzzi and sauna, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The house itself is clean, well-maintained, and has everything you need for a comfortable stay. The hosts were friendly and responsive, making sure everything was perfect. If you’re looking for a peaceful retreat with great amenities, this place is a fantastic choice. Highly recommend!

Very nice cute little house. We had fun with (the bread) fire oven. Good to take some days off and read books. Thanks!!

Very helpful host from time of booking to check out. Would highly recommend. Villa was stunning with beautiful views.

Lovely location but quite small if the party was 4 - sadly had others join me so had to move to larger location but very good for 1 or 2 adults or family with 2 small children for short stay.

We had such a wonderful time staying here. It's about a 30 minute walk to the centre of Split, which is absolutely magical. But sometimes just sitting outside or in the hottub and staring at the beautiful scenery was enough for us. Such a wonderful luxurious experience - and a very special thanks to Katarina who was incredibly responsive and helpful whenever we had questions.

Beautiful place, beautiful view of the bay, very nice and communicative host. The water in the bay is very clean and clear, it's a good idea to bring a swimming mask, under the water surface you will encounter a lot of fish. A beach made of small pebbles is clean and well-maintained. The tap water is not drinkable (due to the salty taste), but hosts easily provide good water. We were with a small dog, which was no problem in the hosts building. However, you should know that there are signs at the entrance to the beach that prohibit dogs, but with reasonable care, no one pays attention to them, so it's not a problem either. Getting to the bay can be quite difficult for not very good drivers, the roads to Hvar are winding, sloping and often unsecured. However, it will be a great adventure for people who like to drive. In summary: I would definitely recommend this place and the host, choosing an apartment here you will get beautiful views, silence and unforgettable experience.

Everything was fantastic and Nadije is the Best host!

Place was so nice and modern, the area around is beautiful. Definitely one of the best views from the balcony of the sea and houses. Villa was clean, with nice accommodations. Surrounding area is very peaceful and relaxing with a nice rural village and nice locals, other towns are just a bus ride away and definitely worth a visit. Overall, very relaxing and the balconies are perfect. Would come back again.

The welcome was exceptional, Ivana welcomed us with simplicity and kindness. Her mom welcomed us with a homemade cake. The place is secluded, quiet and authentic. I recommend it.

Peaceful, quiet, spacious and very clean apartment. Ljiljana was very welcoming host.

All goods 😊 very accommodating and friendly landlady. The apartment was practical and yet comfortably furnished. Sauna and pool were clean.

Great stay, only the wifi didn't work very well, but everything else was perfect. The center is a little farther, but you can get the free bikes in a short time. The electric grill on the deck was in use almost every day. Basically, I can only recommend Lucija's place, who wants to spend calm days on their vacation.

Wonderful apartment with great amenities. We would certainly stay here again. Pros: - 3 min walk to a nice restaurant and the beach - Very close to ferry - Close to grocery - Three large bedrooms - Two bathrooms - Well-stocked kitchen for cooking - Lovely balcony - Extra clean - Decent firm mattresses with good support - lovely and kind host Quirks to know about: - No living room (we liked sitting around kitchen table anyway) - 2 portable airconditioners keep two bedrooms cool, but one was a bit warm at night. We could have moved one of the mattresses into our cooler room but didn’t need to. - indeed it’s the same entrance to the apartment and the lower apartment, but we felt our space was completely private. Just don’t come here if you want to have a big party or do something illegal. - no dedicated washing machine, but our host kindly did a load of laundry for us halfway through the trip. Recommended!

We were completely happy with the apartment. The landlord responded directly to our request - we had booked at short notice the day before. We were received in a very friendly manner, communication in German was easily possible. The apartment fully corresponds to the pictures/descriptions. A supermarket is directly opposite, bike rental possible from the landlord, alternatively bike rental 5 min. walk away. The old town is a short walk away - about 15 minutes. You can also walk to the beach - about 20 minutes. Car could be parked directly in front of the apartment in the yard. The pool and the spacious area around the pool can be used by all residential parties. Our apartment was right on the thoroughfare, but we were aware of this by the reviews read and did not bother us, as the windows are very well insulated. We felt very comfortable and would be happy to come back.

Anita's home was better than we expected. The pictures do not do it justice. In the main accomodation there were six adults. It never felt cramped. We had two adults in the adjoining space and they were very comfortable. Both places were spotless. The pool area was great and perfect for having a beer after a day in the hot Croatian sun. The sun room was amazing. Anita greeted us. It was a good thing as it would have been a little difficult to find. If you are flying in to Split, and Anita offers you to get picked up, do it. The price is reasonable and you are so much better off if the driver knows the area. We went to an island tour, went to Split and to Krka National park and visted Old Town. Every meet up place was walking distance from the home. Old town was a 10 minute walk. This place is a gem - book it.

I can recommand Dragans place, as he is a great host, the place with pool is really nice and there is so much do do and explore in this area! I will come again!

What an amazing property! Super big with amazing bedrooms, communal spaces and pool area as well as many balconies! The location is amazing - just a short walk to Nadur centre (which has lots of shops and restaurants and is beautiful) and also opposite a bus stop to the beach - we also walked. The home was so clean and the hosts were attentive and welcoming. I’d reccomend to anyone and we already plan to come back! Thanks for an amazing stay :)

Edi was nice and helpful guy, he answered fast and kindly to our messages. The house is located in a quiet and cozy place in the village of mravince. From the house it is a short distance to a shop and a restaurant. The balconies had wonderful views of the mountains and the city. The swimming pool and jacuzzi were our favorite places during the holiday, the water was clean and suitably warm. Our holiday was nice and memorable, thank you Edi.

Ana and her dad, who welcomed us, were amazing. They helped out in every situation and made this apartment really a home. We really liked it in Pula and enjoyed our time.

We really enjoyed our stay here, car was a bonus. Staff at the apartment and breakfast were great. Owners always on hand to help. Our flight wasn’t till 2200 hours so they have let us stay in the apartment all day which with 3 kids is a life saver. Would recommend

The host is very welcoming, responsive and considerate.The home is very convenient to the gas station, convenience store and beach.Great value.I am willing to choose this property again next time if I have a chance.
