“Nice estate with a wonderful view”

We were a group of 23 persons and we rented the whole villa (7 apts) for a week. This estate is located very far away from services but we didn't mind it because we rented a car and the main idea of this holiday was to spend some time with family/friends (and celebrate birthdays!). Villa Rumba is located about app. 150-200m above the sea, so the view is just wonderful! However, the walk down to the village is about 2,5km (curvy road)... There is a small shop about 10min walk from the villa (up to the mountain), other shops/supermarkets are located at least 3-4km from the villa. However the owner was very helpful and whenever we needed something, he helped us to get everything. And since we had the rental car, it was easy for us to go for shopping. Owner also made us two dinners (traditional Croatian food) in the villa for very reasonable prices. So in my opinion, this a great place for bigger groups to spend some time together. Just don't hesitate to ask the owner, if you need something! He is very helpful and friendly and has reasonable prices. The only problem is that he does not speak English. He understands it, but speaks only Croatian and Germany. However, he has a son who speaks English, so he can help with communication. Great place, worth visiting! :)

“Nice, but not top class.”

The property is situated high up in the hills over podstrana. It took us 30 minutes to walk down to the beach, and 45 minutes to walk back up ( with a baby stroller).

The property is situated high up in the hills over podstrana. It took us 30 minutes to walk down to the beach, and 45 minutes to walk back up ( with a baby stroller). Rental car is recommended. the exterior and outdoor area is beautiful, with plenty of space to relax ( lots of stairs though). The advert had a picture of a football-pitch on it, but this (apparently belongs to a neighboring property, and cost appr. 100€ extra for the week. This was well worth it though, the kids loved it. The housing itself consists of 7 apartments with kitchen, and they were all spacious. the houses were a bit cluttered, and seemed to could use an upgrade. There was supposed to be a washing- machine on the property, but there was not. the landlord had instead arranged for a laundry service, and this was fairly cheap. The kitchens had very little equipment, and there was no such thing as toiletpaper, and no towel-change. All in all, fairly OK.

“Nice place - not everything in place!”

Family of 21 staying a week in Villa Rumba; you do need a car - an someone who can communicate in german (or croatian)! Villa Rumba is situated about 350 meters above sea level, so the view is great, but the hills are steep and the road is terrible. At the time we were there the jacuzzi never worked, though the croatian/german speeking owner/administrator assured us that tomorrow... The swimming pool was nice and refreshing, the air-condition cool and rooms ok. No toilet paper (buy your own) and no change of towels. A couple of episodes with loose dogs who came to visit us was not very pleasant - but they did us no harm. If you want to stay nearby the beach this is not the place to be - but if you are a large group of people that want to stay together this is a fairly nice place. But be prepared to rent a car or find a taxi willing (and able) to take you to and from at a reasonable price.
