Nikola put together the most amazing trip to Croatia for our family. Every detail was outstanding: the hotels, the terrific guides, the drivers, the tips for restaurants and additional sightseeing. We loved every aspect and can't wait to work with Nikola again on a future vacation (Venice?) His daily communications and incredibly delightful way of interacting also added to the experience.

Hotel Dobra Vila

Dobra Vila is an elegant hotel with a 1930’ish vibe. The public spaces are all beautifully appointed and terraced mountain view is unobstructed. Our room had access to a large patio with lounge chairs looking out to the mountains and sunset. The breakfast room is gorgeous and the breakfast is top notch.; we wish they also had dinner service. The bathroom was true to the hotel period decor but showering was a bit of challenge as it meant having to be in a beautiful bathtub.

Antonia and Nikola were fantastic! This was our first visit to Croatia so we needed “boots on the ground” to identify and schedule the best places to see the country and to arrange accommodations that met our needs. The process couldn’t have been smoother.

They also were very responsive to our needs to make changes on the fly when we needed them.

I definitely recommend them for anyone planning to visit Croatia.
