According to legend in Tretayugam, there was a sage called Yadarishi, who was son of the great sage Rishyasrunga and Santa Devi and performed penance inside a cave with Anjaneya's blessings. Pleased with his devotion Lord Narasimha reportedly appeared before him in five different forms namely Sri Jwala Narasimha , SriGandabherunda, Sri Yogananda, Sri Ugra and Sri Lakshminarasimha which later manifested into finely sculpted forms and hence it is worshiped as Pancha Narasimha Kshetram. According to Skanda Purana, there is a cave temple of Lord Vishnu where several years ago the invincible Sudharshna chakra moved in the direction like a compass guiding them towards this temple. Here Aaradhana and Puja are performed as per Pancharatra
The glistening white structure dotting the skyline of modern Hyderabad, Birla Mandir is located towards the southern end of Hussain Sagar Lake in Hyderabad. It situated atop the Kala Pahad which is a twin hillock of Naubat Pahad. The Birlas built the Hyderabad temple in 1976 and constructed it with white marbles imported from Rajasthan. The hillock is at a height of 280-feet situated on a 13-acre plot.
The construction took almost a decade to complete and was consecrated in the same year by Swami Ranganathananda of Ramakrishna Mission. Birla Foundation, known for constructing other similar temples across the country is the patron of Birla Mandir at Hyderabad too.
The temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu present in the form of Sri Venkateswara. One can find the kirtanas of Tyagaraja, Annamayya, and Ramadasu reverberating against the backdrop of a blue sky in the morning. The temple combines the architectural styles of Utkal (Oriya) and South Indian style. The Rajagopuram represents South Indian architectural style while the tower over the main shrine also called the Jagadananda Vimanam represents the Oriyan style. The temple also boasts of finely sculpted marbled images depicting the great epics of Ramayana and Mahabharata. The 42-feet high sanctum sanctorum (garbha gudi) is an impressive replica of the Venkateshwara temple at Tirumala.
The presiding deity is made of granite, 11-feet tall. Swami Venkateswara's consorts Padmavati and Andal are worshipped in adjoining separate shrines. The Birla Mandir complex also houses a temple dedicated to Buddha along with fresco paintings describing his life. The temple also has separate shrines for other gods such as Shiva, Ganesh, Saraswati, Hanuman, Brahma, Lakshmi and Saibaba.
In the evening, Birla Mandir presents a spectacular sight upon illumination. A trip to Hyderabad is considered incomplete without Birla Mandir by tourists for the last three decades. An enchanting Birla Mandir trip is a trip to remember and combines excellent architecture and workmanship and is a place for solace and spirituality. Visitors can enter the temple from 7.00 am to 12.00 am and 3.00 pm to 9.00 pm on all weekdays and weekend. Birla Mandir is well connected by state government buses, owing to its location in the heart of the city. Those who take a bus ride can alight near Ravindra Bharathi, which is two hundred meters away.
Bhadrachalam is a key town of Pilgrimage importance located in the Khammam District of Telangana. The temple town of Bhadrachalam is situated on the banks of Godavari River. It was part of East Godavari District, Andhra Pradesh till 1959. The town is synonymous for its famous temple devoted to Lord Rama. Bhadrachalam Revenue division is considered one of the largest revenue divisions in the country, red to Khammam district of Telangana region for administrative purposes.
According to history, Paleolithic man had roamed the areas, which is called the lower Godavari valley that includes Bhadrachalam and its surroundings. Bhadrachalam town has a clearly documented history of Lord Sri Rama temple, which was constructed in the 17th Century CE. According to Mythology, the present town was once part of the Dandakaranya forest, which Lord Sri Rama, Sita and Lakshmana had visited during their exile also called vanavasam according to local parlance. The jungle which is now in the vicinity of temple was the place for Rama's retreat and a place called Parnasala which is 32 km away was the location where Rama had built a dwelling for himself and Sita. It was here that Sita was abducted by Lanka ruler, Ravana.
The town shares its historical significance with Ramayana Era. The name Bhadrachalam is derived from the word Bhadragiri (The Mountain Abode of Bhadra, the child of Meru and Menaka). The famous temple at Bhadrachalam is home to the Archa Murthy's of Rama, Sita and Lakshmana and their idols are believed to be swayambhu i.e. self-manifested ones.
Bhadrachalam division also has several other Hindu temples. Parnasala is believed to be the spot where Rama constructed a hermitage during his exile and spent time with his wife Sita and brother Lakshmana. Agastya muni helped Rama select this spot. For the purpose of tourists, there is picturesque display of few scenes from vanavasa at Parnasala. Pilgrims enthrall when they see the footprints of Sita devi, the mosaic of Maarecha who appears in the guise of golden deer and Ravana who appears in the form of Sanyasi for Bhikshatana. One can see Sita Vaagu where Sita had bathed and gathered turmeric and Kunkum from the nearby stones. Yetapaka located 2 km from Bhadrachalam has a history where the bird Jatayuvu, an ardent devotee of Rama tried to obstruct Ravana when he was proceeding on a chariot after kidnapping Sita. A fierce batted ensued and a wing of the bird was believed to have found at Rekkapalli.
Rama is worshipped as Atmarama here at Dummugudem where according to Purana, Rama killed around 14,000 demons belonging to Khara and Dushana. The place is called Dummugudem as it was built on the ashes of these demons. At Gundala, located 5 km away from Bhadrachalam, once can see hot water springs after digging a pit on the riverbank and it is said that the divine trio of Brahma, Vishnu and Maheshwara dipped in the holy water here during winter season. There are other places too like Sree Rama Giri, Venkatreddipeta, Gannavaram etc. The temple town
Alampur is a sleepy town situated on the banks Tungabhadra River, in the state of Telangana. Alampur is considered as the western gateway of Srisailam. Here the marvelous temple and remains of some ancient temple signify Badami Chalukyan architecture. The region was ruled by many South Indian dynasties. The principal deities at the Jogulamba temple are Jogulamba and Balabrahmeshwara. Goddess Jogulamba is considered the 5th Shakti Peeta among 18 shakti peetams in the country. Here Goddess Jogulamba is seen seated on the Corpse with scorpion, frog, and lizard on the head. She is seen in a naked avtar with her tongue stretched outside, an avtar of fierce goddess that grants Siddhi in Yoga and hence called Jogulamba. This word is a changed form of Yogula Amma in Telugu which means Mother of Yogis.
According to a popular legend there was a great saint in 6th century called Rasa Siddha who had the power to convert base metal into gold and he was considered close to chalukya king Pulakesi II, instrumental in constructing any temples called 'Nava Brahmas'. According to the legend, the nine names of Siva are actually the names of medicinal herbs put forth by Rasa Siddha and there are nine temples here. They are the Swarga Brahma Temple Padma Brahma Temple, Vishva Brahma Temple Arka Brahma Temple, Bala Brahma Temple, Garuda Brahma Temple, and Taraka Brahma Temple. The Siddha Rasarnavam is a tantric work, which states that if upasana is performed as per the prescribed Tantra, then Mercury oozes from the Linga of Bala Brahma, Thighs of Subramanya, Navel of Ganapati, and Mouth of Mother Jogulamba, which can be converted into Gold by using the medicinal herbs.
The popular temple stands as a testimony to Chalukya Art and Culture. The Tungabhadra and Krishna are seen in a confluence near Alampur, and hence it is also know known as Dakshina Kailasam. It is also said that Brahma had performed a great penance at today's Alampur for thousands of years, and he pleased Lord Siva who conferred the powers of creation for him. Hence, the deity is also called Brahmeswara and the goddess as Yogini or Jogulamba, a synonym for mother Parvathi.
The Thousand pillars temple which is located in Hanamkonda is one of the most important attraction to the Warangal City. The temple was constructed in the 1163 AD by the great Rudra Deva. Every part of the temple depicts the typical Chalukya style of architecture. The Thousand Pillar temple has three presiding deities, Lord Vishnu, Shiva and Surya Deva. The temple stands as a statement of the finest of arts of the Kakatiyas.
Visiting the Thousand Pillar Temple is a must if you want to learn more about the richness of country India. Thousand Pillar Temple is a very popular pilgrimage center, in southern state Telangana and thousands of devotees of all faiths come here to pay their homage and get a glimpse of this wonderful construction.
The temple has a star shaped architecture, which stands as a testimony to the expertise of the wonderful craftsmen of the glorious period. The amazing temple is supported by the pillars that are richly carved. You can find a huge monolith Nandi, made up of black basalt stone.
Warangal in the Deccan plateau is home to the very classic and brilliant Kakatiya art. The Ramalingeswara Temple which is popularly known as the Ramappa temple is one such amazing piece of art that stands as a testimony of the royal Kakatiyas. The temple got its name Ramappa because of its chief sculptor Ramappa. It's probably the only temple in the country to be known by the name of its sculptor. The medieval Deccan Ramappa Temple which dates back to 1213 AD, was built by the patronage of the Kakatiya ruler Kakati Ganapathi Deva under the authority of his Chief Commander Rudra Samani at the place known as Ranakude in the Atukuru province. The Ramappa temple is the right destination for people who admire architectural brilliance and have a panoramic view of true scenic beauty. The temple is situated in Palampet village of the Venkatapur Mandal, in Mulug Taluq of Warangal.
The Ramappa temple has been referred as the brightest star in the network of medieval temples in the Deccan region. You can reach the temple via a royal garden, which is now reduced to a lawn with a path paved by trees. Another striking feature of this temple is that it is built with bricks that are so light that they can easily float on water. The temple which is situated in a valley took nearly 40 years to be completed. Elaborate carvings line the walls and also cover the pillars and ceilings of the temple.
The Ramappa temple finds its hold on a 6 feet high platform on a cruciform plan. The temple's chamber is crowned with a shikharam and is surrounded by pradakshinapatha. At the entrance of the temple, we can find a Nandi mandapam. An imposing Nandi vigraham stands on it.

Great apartment in a great location (you'll need a car though!) Great for getting away from it all. Very well equipped kitchen. Really enjoyed it! Thank you for the family red wine too!
Rebecca2016-09-26T00:00:00ZWhen we booked we were quite sure that we'll have good accomodation, but what we found was beyond our best expectations! The appartment is spacious, cozy and well equipped. It has a delicious terrace with a big palm tree and a beautiful view. It is described well in the Details section and it's really a pleasant place to stay, perfect to relax and enjoy your holidays! The village of Vrisnik is situated in the hills, only few km from the seaside. From the village it is easy to reach different sites on the island including famous Hvar beaches with the limpid sea. A must-see are the surrounding hills and nearby villages rich in history and vegetation. The local tavernas - "konoba" - are something really special. Even the city of Hvar is quite easy to reach, it is distant only about 20km. The complete experience is something to repeat! Wonderful places, wonderful nature and wonderful people! Thank you Josipa and Lukas for your kindness and availability, and hope to see you soon again!
Dejan2016-08-12T00:00:00ZAppartement super sympa dans un petit village typique très calme. Tout était parfait. Merci Josipa et Lukas pour votre accueil, votre disponibilité et votre gentillesse !
erwan2016-08-19T00:00:00ZJosipas and Lukas apartment was really great! The old small village vrisnik is in the mountains from hvar and you have a nice view over the village and the island from there. We love it so much... its quiet and cozy. Josipa and Lukas are very friendly and helpful. They are very accommodating. They gave us lots of advice on beaches, restaurants and even the hospital. If we had questions or problems they immediately answered or solved. We recommend the two hosts very much and will definitely return. Thanks so much!
Ina2016-07-16T00:00:00ZWe had a lovely stay at the appartment of Josipa and Lukas. The day of our arrivle Lukas was so kind to pick us up at a nearby konoba, because we couldend find the way with our car navigation. The hostes were realy friendly. The appartment was clean, nice and exactly as the pictures. It was a great place to explore the island Hvar, espessially if you are with a car. Thank u , Josipa and Lukas for the lovely stay.

This villa is 40 mins away by car from the havar old town. It is up in a hill with slops outside of the villa. It was quite and clean with modern facilities and a private swimming pool. The host was extremely helpful by giving drives to my elderly friends who found it hard to walk up the steep slopes outside of the villa as our 9-seat car is too large to drive up the slopes. The host was generous to treat us with home grown tomatoes, cucumber and potatoes and home made wine. The neighbourhood was very nice and friendly with a waiter of a nearby restaurant escorted us back to the villa when we lost our way. There is a bakery factory within 5 minutes walk from the villa offering higher quality fresh bread every morning. I'd highly recommend this villa.
Florence2015-07-21T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing time in this beautiful house, missing it already! Situated in a quite village called Vrisnik in the centre of Hvar Island, you need a car to get here, but it's only a short drive to get to any of the fantastic beaches and towns that the island has to offer. Zarace beach with the great Gego restaurant and Stiniva beach became some of our favourites. The house it self is very clean and tastefully designed and decorated. The views of the mountains in one direction and the sea on the other were absolutely stunning. The pool is lovely and cleaned regularly too. Marco and his mother were excellent hosts, very welcoming and helped us with extra bedsheets and fans on request. They also brought us fresh home grown tomatoes and figs. I would absolutely recommend this place, in fact we are thinking about coming back ourselves next year! Many thanks! Emma
emma2015-08-19T00:00:00ZWe've spend 5nights in this beautiful villa with our family! It is very Well located in the center of the island, but far enough to enjoy the small collage in the hills. Fully equiped, with a large pool (necessary with the heat in July) and very clean. Mario and his mother were very friendly and helpful! Would definitly recommand staying in their lovely house!

Nice flat and nice communal pool. 15 minute walk to the harbour, gorana's son picked us up when we arrived which was very kind :)
Joe2015-08-24T00:00:00ZGorana ha sido muy gentil y cordial. Muy amena . Nos convidaron con una torta casera como bienvenida La hemos pasado muy bien
Maria Fabiana2016-08-13T00:00:00ZStaying with Gorana and her family was lovely. They were very accommodating, picked us up promptly from the bus, and gave us treats and recommendations throughout our stay. The apartments are a short walking distance from town and have a backdrop of the beautiful mountains behind them. Thanks Gorana and family!
Julien2015-09-18T00:00:00ZWe had a fantastic stay at Goranas Apartment. Everything was exactly like in the description. The Apartment was very clean and well equipped. Gorana and Ivan were very helpful and hospitable. Ivan gave us a map and showed us some beautiful and quiet beaches. We have nothing to complain about, we felt very comfortable and we would stay at Goranas anytime again.
Andrew2016-09-06T00:00:00ZDer Aufenthalt bei Gorana war sehr schön. Der Pool ist sehr nett hergerichtet und das Haus insgesamt bietet einem alles was man sich wünschen könnte. Die Familie ist sehr nett, die Kommunikation sehr unkompliziert. Auch Jelsa ist ein toller Ort! Sehr weiterzuempfehlen!
Martje2016-07-22T00:00:00ZTrès bon séjour chez Gorana et sa famille, accueil très chaleureux! Logement conforme aux photos. Nous le recommandons!
Noemie2016-08-19T00:00:00ZWe had an amazing stay. The family was so lovely and helpful. They made us feel really welcome. The room was great and it was great to have the pool and all. It's an easy walk into Jelsa which is beautiful. We would definitely come back here but next time for much longer.
Emma2016-08-28T00:00:00ZNous avons passé trois nuits à Jelsa chez Gorana. L'appartement est situé dans une sorte d'appart-hotel géré par la famille. L'accueil de Gorana et de son fils a été chaleureux, très sympathique. Le prix relativement faible demandé est correct, étant donné la qualité et le confort moyens du logement. Il semble que le besoin d'une rénovation se fait sentir (installation électrique "bricolée" avec rallonges dans la kitchenette, carrelage de la piscine qui part en morceaux,...). Le logement ne dispose pas de balcon: les seules fenêtres, dans le séjour/kitchenette, sont orientées côté "soleil". Comme il n'y a pas d'air conditionné mais seulement un ventilateur dans la chambre, la température monte vite. La situation est proche (5-10 minutes à pied) du centre de Jelsa, avec le port, commerces et restaurants. Il y a aussi plusieurs plages accessibles facilement à pied. Toutefois, l'agrément de la ballade est diminué par le fait qu'il n'y a pas de trottoir sur le chemin entre l'hôtel et le centre.

One of the best places to stay in my life. Beautiful view and neat facilities. Very hospitable and welcoming.
Sangsu2015-08-01T00:00:00ZIvana otti meidät vastaan erittäin lämpimästi ja ystävällisesti. Hän sai meidät tuntemaan itsemme erityis vieraiksi tarjoamalla meille itse tekemiään herkkuja. Asunto ja terassin näkymät olivat vieläkin parempia kuin kuvissa ja joka paikassa oli erittäin siistiä. Sijainti oli loistava, sillä uimarannalle, kaupungin keskustaan ja hyviin ravintoloihin pääsi kävellen. Autolle on suojaisa parkkipaikka. Tämä paikka on todella viihtyisä, lämminhenkinen ja ihanan kodikas! Voimme suositella tätä erittäin lämpimästi kaikille!
Minea2015-07-12T00:00:00ZIvana was a great host - we were arriving just the minute when she was at her neighbours, but her parents managed to make feel us home right away ;) thanks for the very very warm welcome all the three of you!! Ivana showed us the lovely apartment with a stunning view from the balcony. The apartment is clean, neat and has everything one needs. Highly recommendable!
Nicole2014-09-04T00:00:00ZIvana was a perfect host like was her apartment too. She picked us up from the port of Jelsa and drove to the apartment. She served us coffee while she cleaned our room after previous guests. Apartment was very nice with all things that you need during visit. The best of all was huge balcony with comfortable chairs and sofa. We stayed for a one week but we could have been longer. On a day of departure Ivana drove us to the bus station where we took a bus to Hvar town. I truly recommend Ivanas apartment.
Tuomas2015-07-02T00:00:00ZLooooove this house and Ivana. Really nice to been her guest. I just can't said enough, kind and really nice host with a lovely apartment. She was waiting for us with a smile and with a nice homemade limoncello as a welcome gift, If I come back to Jesla I won't doubt in going back to her house. Thanks for everything Ivana. you are a great Host.
Carlos2015-07-03T00:00:00ZIvana was such a lovely host! She really did go above and beyond to make sure we felt happy and comfortable on our holiday. The apartment is just like the photos, super clean and spacious. The view from the terrace is a real treat to wake up to and was a lovely area for us to relax and enjoy a nice glass of homemade limoncello! The location is spot on, just a small walk up the hill from the port which gives you a great view over Jelsa. Jelsa is a gorgeous little town, plenty of great restaurants and bars yet still feels tranquil and untouched. Lots to see and do on the Island, as well as the many small pebbled beaches within walking distance. Overall, such a beautiful holiday thanks to Ivana! PS highly recommend restaurant "Paradiso", we had so many delicious meals here with gorgeous views of Jelsa and we were served by the owner Peter who also made the holiday!
Lucy2016-09-20T00:00:00Z매우 친철하고 유쾌하였다. 먼거리인데 도착할때와 떠날때 픽업까지 감사했고 숙소도 깨끗하고 아름다웠다. 원래의 일정은 Hvar였는데, 숙소의 경관과 주변아 아름다워 Jelsa에서 일정을 보내었다.
은지2016-06-23T00:00:00ZBefore we arrived we had great communications with Ivana-and she even let us check in a lot earlier than previously planned. We arrived around 10am and Ivana came to meet us at a cafe to collect us and take us to the accommodation. The room was lovely-just what we needed-good shower and absolutely breathtaking balcony-the views blew us away! Although it is a bit of a walk up quite a few steps-it was well worth it! It's around a 10 minute walk (tops) to the centre of town where there is a huge variety of restaurants and bars, there is also a small beach very close by (at the other end of town) which was perfect for a day topping up a tan and taking a dip! Ivana was an amazing host-always trying to help us in whichever way possible-she even went out of her way to try to find a uk adapter for us which we were very grateful for! I couldn't recommend this accommodation any more-super host, great location and beautiful views! Thankyou very much for such a great experience!

Beautiful, cosy, clean, romantic, private place with amazing views, friendly and always helpful approach of owner! I definitely recommend :)
Kristina2016-08-03T00:00:00ZWe had the luxury of staying at Anna Marie's for a whole month and absolutely loved it. We felt like part of the community and family by the time we left. We stayed in this apartment for a week and then they offered us to stay in their bigger apartment, which we stayed in for another 3 weeks. The small apartment is absolutely delightful. It's a studio apartment with an adorable kitchen and amazing views. The bigger home we stayed in called "Steinhaus mit Terrasse und Garten" was wonderful for staying in the winter because it had a wood burning stove and an amazing large patio. Both are very old stone homes Anna Marie has beautifully renovated. The apartments are about a 40 minute walk into town, and Anna Marie and her husband brought us with them into town in their car many times. The village is a very old and small village with so much charm, it fit us perfectly. Anna Marie and her husband went above and beyond to make our stay as comfortable as possible. They took us on many adventures on the island, gave us homemade jams, picked us fruit, had us for dinner and even invited us to dinner with their friends. They and Hvar Island will truly be missed.

We have had a fantastic stay in this beautiful (and very clean !!) house. Tomislav and his father had taken care of everything and made us feel very welcome and at home. The rocky beach is only a 2 minute walk downstairs and very quite. We will certainly return to this amazing place. Thank you for all of your kindness and help.
Cindy2016-08-02T00:00:00ZDas Haus ist wunderschön gelegen und sehr gut ausgestattet. Tomislav ist ein toller Gastgeber; er hatte sogar für uns Brot, Schinken, Obst und einiges anderes eingekauft damit wir für den Abend und das Frühstück versorgt waren. Er hat uns auch mit Restauranttips, Tips zum Einkauf von frischem Fisch fürs Grillen, Tips zum Parken im Ort und vielem mehr versorgt. Er war immer erreichbar für Fragen und sehr hilfsbereit. Sein Vater baut auf dem Grundstück und anderswo Wein an und hat uns den eigenen Wein vorbeigebracht. Wir hatten dort einen sehr schönen Aufenthalt!
Sonja2016-08-14T00:00:00ZWe very much enjoyed staying at Tomislav's beautiful house. Everything, except of the weather, was just as expected and even better. The view is truly beautiful, the pool is clean, the house is also clean and equipped with everything needed. Tomislav is a great host, he even picked us up from the car ferry to make sure that we'll find the house. Even the fridge was filled with some food and milk to make sure that we can have breakfast on the next day. Tomislav father was also very nice to us-he brought us wine, prosec from their own winery and fresh fruit, that was so kind of him. We took one bottle home with us and will enjoy it when cold winter days hit us and remember the great Jelsa days. Tomislav, thank you so much for having us and we will definitely come back to Croatia/Hvar. Many greetings, Juliane
Juliane2015-10-18T00:00:00ZWe arrived in Jelsa on the sea-plane to Tomislav at the harbour. We arranged cheap car rental through Tomislav with a discount which was great. We followed him to the villa to be greeted with a fridge stocked with provisions to make breakfast and... a birthday cake! Also, some wine made in the family vineyard. The villa was equipped with all the modern day essentials, fully air-conditioned and as delightful as the photos depict! The beach was literally a 2min walk away and supermarket another 15min drive. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Villa Tomic, Tomislav was the most amazing host, he called during our stay to ensure we had everything we needed and were well taken care of. We will definitely be returning!
Lara2015-09-22T00:00:00ZI cannot recommend this villa more highly. Not only was it spotlessly clean with new linen and towels, etc... it was also equipped with everything you would need from cleaning products, bathroom accessories and even bags of coal for the barbeque. Our host Tomislav was very helpful and extremely generous. He met us at the hydro port so we could follow him back to the villa, he very kindly stocked the fridge for us as we arrived late in the evening with a baby and a toddler, he delivered fresh fish for us during our stay and even his parents brought us lovely home made wine, olive oil, lemons and tomatoes when coming to clean the pool or the house. The villa itself is lovely (if a little heavy on the Ikea styling) and the surrounding area just stunning. The beach is literally a 5 minute walk and perfect for little ones as the bay is sandy and the water very shallow plus there is a nice cafe and even a little playground. There's also a great outdoor restaurant at the campsite directly above the beach if you don't feel like cooking. The only downside with staying in such a beautiful remote location is that you're nowhere near a shop so you have to drive into the main town of Jelsa to buy food and supplies but this really is a very small negative. A really lovely place to stay on a beautiful island.
Jenine2015-07-13T00:00:00ZWe have just arrived home from the most perfect stay at Villa Tomic. Our host Tomislav responded immediately to all my questions before our trip. He made excellent recommendations, all of which improved our trip and made planning easy. With his help I booked travel to the island (via sea plane), a good, cheap hire car and excellent restaurants. He even helped us arrange for a masseuse to come to the house for us which was very much appreciated. Tomislav and his family were extremely kind and hospitable. They really have thought of everything when it comes to making your stay in their beautiful villa as comfortable as possible. The fridge was stocked with essentials for us on arrival. The kitchen had every amenity we required and more (blender, utensils, coffee machine, everything!). The villa is very well arranged for our group of two couples. Plenty of space, light, bright and the air conditioning is excellent. The bathrooms are new and immaculate. There are plenty of hangers in the wardrobes, washing machine, ironing boards, etc. And no shortage of fresh white linen and towels. Our favourite aspect was the outdoors. The views of the ocean from each bedroom are spectacular. The vineyard that surrounds the house is gorgeous. The pool was perfect - too perfect, we were often lazy, staying at the villa instead of visiting the nearby beach. We cooked on the BBQ using herbs picked from the garden and ate al fresco, drinking the wine from the vineyard. The surrounding area and Jelsa is lovely. It's quiet and quaint, has lovely restaurants and plenty of shops selling local produce (lavender, olive oil, wine etc). The drive to Hvar port took us around 30 mins, but there is plenty to do near the villa without having to travel so far. The beaches nearby are gorgeous. Clear turquoise sea, and a mixture of pebble and sand beaches. You can walk to the nearby beaches and cafes but I would recommend hiring a car. We used ours every day. We drove around 15 mins to Vrboska and found Soline beach which we'd highly recommend doing. We can't wait to return to Villa Tomic. One week's holiday was not enough!
Hayley2015-07-27T00:00:00ZOur host, Tomislav, made us very welcome from the moment we arrived and was very quick to respond with any queries or minor issues we raised. The villa is in a beautiful location with views out to sea and other islands to the front plus the mountains and woodland areas behind. The villa is decorated in a modern contemporary style, is very clean and well equipped with everything we needed. It was refreshing to arrive at a villa that had most of the basic essentials provided which meant that we didn't need to rush around and go shopping immediately after arrival. We also had a pleasant surprise with Tomislav's father Vinko who has his own grape vines growing around the property and regularly left us a bottle of his own wine and grapes etc. Would definitely recommend this villa.
Nikki2016-09-16T00:00:00ZIf we were to score the experience we had staying at Tomislav's villa, it would be a 10/10. A great villa with an amazing view and an even fantastic host! Tomislav waited for us at the jetty and made sure we knew how to get around Hvar. Wonderful welcome by Tomislav and his wife at their villa with a shot of "grapa" which is home made alcohol. Talk about hospitality. He was a phone call away for anything we needed. Views are breathtaking. Tomislav let us in on a secret location where he and his family would spend time swimming. Beautiful spot. Thank you Tomislav for a beautiful welcome to Hvar and your wonderful villa. We will be back for sure. See you soon! I took home the bottle of red wine you gave us. Will have a toast and think of our wonderful stay in Hvar. Cheers to you and your wife!

Wonderful cozy place for a couple in the heart of Jelsa. Very clean. Kind hosts. Highly recommend. Only 12 minutes from scenic Stari Grad. Would definitely return! Don't miss Dubovica beach. 20 minute drive. Thanks Ana!!
Valerie2016-06-16T00:00:00ZAna was very friendly. Location is perfect, apartment is perfect! Totally recommended!!!! We hope we could stay there more...
Nadezhda2014-08-28T00:00:00ZL'accueil d'Ana et de son mari Jure a été parfait. Nous nous sommes sentis comme chez nous. La petite ville de Jelsa est un point de départ parfait pour silloner l'île. Le logement est très bien entretenu, propre et fonctionnel. C'est clairement le coup de coeur de notre séjour. Nous y retournerons sans hésiter.
Boris2016-06-13T00:00:00ZHi Ana, thank you for being an excellent host. Your communication and collection of us from the Catamaran were much appreciated. We loved the apartment. It contained everything one would need including a washing machine. It was beautifully and tastefully presented. Location was outstanding and enabled us to explore all of Jelsa and get the bus as required. We would highly recommend your place. Regards Colleen
Colleen2015-09-11T00:00:00ZI had a lovely week in Jelsa thanks to Ana. The guys met me at the marina on arrival so I didn't have to wonder around the town in a search for the house. The flat was tidy and clean, nicely decorated and cozy, and only in a 3-minute walk to the marina and town's caffes and supermarkets. The neighbourhood is quiet which was important for me (however I was surprised to hear church bells at 6 am but it didn't prevent me from having a good rest :) Will definetely recommend my friends to stay there
Mariya2014-09-30T00:00:00ZBooking was easy and Ana replied to our pre-visit emails quickly. We were met at the bus stop by her husband Jure. The accommodation was exceptionally clean. Both the beds (1 in bedroom and sofabed in living room) were comfortable. The apartment is very close to Jelsa's centre but is nice and quiet. Jelsa is a lovely place to stay. We were able to hire bikes from the apartment for only 20HRK/€3 a day. Thank you Ana and Jure.
Heather2016-08-25T00:00:00ZL'appartement était parfait... le petit port de Jelsa est particulièrement charmant et l' île magnifique
anne2016-10-30T00:00:00ZThe apartment Ana is the best choice to spend a few days in Jelsa! Cozy apartment, fully equipped and with a good location: near the city center, beaches, supermarkets, port and bus station. We spent a lovely few days in Jelsa and we got great memories of it. Ana and Jure are great, picked up at the port, we explained everything and were willing to help in any way they could. If you are looking for apartment in Jelsa (or Hvar Island) do not hesitate, this is definitely the best option!

We really enjoyed our stay at Marko's place! His grandmother welcomed us and I have to say she is a very nice person! The location of the apartment is great, it's in the nice calm area between 2 villages. It was not noisy and crowded. It was great to use grill in the evening, thank you for this opportunity! We also got a chance to take bicycles for a ride :) Overall its a really good deal for that price! Thank you Marko. Big thanks to your Granny for her kindness and hospitality!
Lubomir2016-09-11T00:00:00ZУдивительно прекрасное место! Очень гостеприимные хозяева! Огромное спасибо Марко и всем его близким! Хорватия супер! обязательно приедеем на следующее лето !
Юлия 2012-07-31T00:00:00ZWhat a lovely part of Jelsa, this apartment was 2 minutes from the closest of many beaches. The apartment was just as described and suited perfectly. Although I didn't meet Marko, his uncle collected me from the centre on arrival and I had daily interaction with his grandmother. All were very helpful when needed. Unfortunately wifi was hit and miss but this is common in the area, if all else fails, Art Hotel in the centre (15 minute stroll away) makes good coffee and has free wifi for customers. I am happy to recommend mark's place.
Sue2015-08-21T00:00:00ZMême si nous n'avons pas vu Marko, il a été un hôte très disponible pour tout. L'appartement est fidèle au photo et la vue est vraiment magnifique. Le centre ville est a 10 petites minutes à pied. Je le recommande
Alice2016-08-30T00:00:00ZWe have been in the apartment for 5 days. It is located just few minutes walk from Jelsa. We really appreciated the quietness of the neighborhood and the beautiful view from the terrace of the apartment. Marco's grandmother and her son were fantastic with us. The air conditioning didn't work but there was no problem due to high temperature. Thank you for the pleasant stay we had.
Alessandro2016-08-14T00:00:00ZQuando siamo arrivati all'appartamento di Marko, ci ha accolto sua mamma, una signora gentilissima che nel corso della vacanza ci ha regalato dei fichi. La casa si trova a circa 15 minuti a piedi (percorrerete il lungomare…di sera è decisamente rilassante) dal centro di Jelsa, una piccola città molto carina (ci è rimasta nel cuore) ed è in posizione strategica per raggiungere con l'auto le calette più belle dell'isola. Il bilocale nel quale abbiamo soggiornato contiene l'essenziale e potrebbe essere curato maggiormente, ma nel complesso è confortevole; il balcone, con una vista incantevole sul mare, è in comune con gli ospiti dell'appartamento accanto (se avrete vicini discreti com'è successo a noi, questo non intaccherà la vostra privacy) così come la lavatrice (ma la mamma di Marko è a disposizione in ogni momento per farla utilizzare). In ogni caso, quando torneremo a Hvar (e ci torneremo sicuramente), chiederemo a Marko di affittarci nuovamente l'appartamento!!!
Silvia2016-09-05T00:00:00ZMarkos Großmutter war immer anwesend und hat uns mit einem Teller saftiger Feigen begrüßt. Sie ist sehr freundlich, kann leider nur kroatisch. Aber Marko ist jederzeit via Telefon erreichbar. Unser 2-Bett-Apartment war sehr schlicht ausgestattet (nur Duschtasse, kein Vorhang oder Kabine; extrem einfache Küche, einige übliche Küchenutensilien nicht vorhanden; Matratzen hätten bequemer sein können). Wir haben auch die beiden 4-Bett-Apartments gesehen, die wesentlich besser und vollständiger ausgestattet waren. Wer genügsam ist, kann auch im 2-Bett-Apartment einen schönen Aufenthalt erleben. Der Preis von € 40,- in der Hauptsaison ist für den Zustand und die Ausstattung eigentlich zu hoch, der Preis von € 29,- in der Nachsaison ist angemessen. Ruhige Nachbarschaft, gute Lage, viele gut erreichbare Strände, überall sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Leute.
Martin2015-09-12T00:00:00ZWe stayed from June 28 to July 3, 2012 Before leaving we asked Marko repeatedly the address, but there has never been reported, making sure that his uncle would come to our arrival to take us to the port of Hvar. One day before our arrival, Marko is not, and tells us that his uncle will not be picked up at the harbor, just at this point tells us that the address is difficult to reach, no navigator can find it. Only after much research we were able to find the house alone. The house is in a good location, has all the comforts described.

We had a great stay in Jelsa. Ivo wasn't there but Ivos sister Sandra& her husband Marco welcomed us really friendli& gave us any information we needed. The appartment was perfect. Great view& well equipted. Worth the 105 steps from the town uf to the appartement. A small supermarket is close to the appartement. Jelsa is small and quiet- end of september. We rented bikes& scooters and doscovered Jelsas surroundings. Worh to visit again! Thanx a lot!!
Anna2014-09-17T00:00:00ZDette er en fin leilighet med en flott beliggenhet midt mellom sentrum og to fine strander. Rolig nabolag og nærbutikk 150 meter unna
Henrik2016-07-14T00:00:00ZIvo met us at the harbor in Jelsa and gave us very good service the 3 days we stayd.
Martine2015-08-03T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 4 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
DesireeWe had an amazing time at Ivo's apartment. The apartment is spacious, the view is amazing and our host was better than a concierge of a 5* hotel. We came with a baby and we had everything ready for him (bed, changing station…). We would definitely recommend Ivo's apartment…and we're sure we will come back some days, thanks again…
Arnaud2014-05-20T00:00:00ZOur stay at Ivo's apartment in Jelsa was fabulous. It was as described, clean, plenty of room for a family of 4 and the walk to town was very easy. It was great not to be directly in the centre of town as this meant we could enjoy the amazing view from the balcony with the quiet hum of the port in the near distance. Ivo and his family were unbelievably obliging and accommodating to make our stay so easy. Nothing was too much trouble and their hospitality extended to collecting us from Hvar Town and driving us 27km to the apartment late in the day, saving us a long bus ride with our kids. They also helped us with washing, and to top it off dropped us at Stari Grad port upon us leaving. Nothing was too much trouble. We would highly recommend Ivo's place, we loved it and Ivo was very responsive throughout our time in Jelsa.
Simon2015-07-07T00:00:00ZDe verhuurder was niet aanwezig. We hebben telefonisch contact gehad. In het donker was de locatie moeilijk te vinden. De eigenares van een buurtwinkelier heeft ons het adres gewezen, waarna moeder en buurvrouw ons hebben verwelkomt. Voor de route kan hotel Hvar een goed referentiepunt zijn.
Adrie2015-10-09T00:00:00ZIvo´s apartment is at the best place in Jelsa - the veiw is breathtaking! Thanks for the Ivo´s good advices, the apartment was easy to find and he even helped us to find a car ferry to the Hvar. The apartment is spacious and good for a family. Jelsa is a beautiful place to visit and if you are planning doing so then I definitely recommend staying in this apartment.

When we arrived a bottle of home made olive oil, and red and white wine from Merinos own vines was waiting for us. Marino was available at all times for ideas and advice on places to go to. excellent host!
Georg2016-05-18T00:00:00ZWe are a couple in our 30's from Finland and stayed here for 4 nights in June 2016. We were looking for a quiet place in Hvar island (party scene is not for us) and this was perfect for us. Very nice experience. Perfect location and everything worked out as supposed. Owner and his son were both very helpful and welcoming. Good quality bed which is a very big bonus. Note that you definitely need a car for this place. Nearest supermarket is about 5 km away.
Teppo2016-06-26T00:00:00Zwe spent to weeks in the house and had a realy great time. Marino Corni was a nice host and helped whenever help was needed. Right at the beginning we got self-made wine and olive-oil. the location itself is wonderful and not too loud, altough there is a small buffet - Marino is the owner - between the house and the sea. all in all, we can highly recommend the house.
Bernd2016-08-21T00:00:00ZWe really enjoyed our stay at this picturesque stone house with beautiful surroundings. The inside of the house was nice and clean and the bed was great. The host and his son were nice and helpful. We enjoyed swimming at the stone beach by the house and the sand beach by the campsite in the western bay of the peninsula was outstanding. Note that the host runs a restaurant nearby the house and during our stay there were always visitors on the peninsula during the day.

We stayed 3 nights in Zavala. The rooms where clean and Dragana was there to welcome us. The appartement is perfect for two people. The view out of the windows was brilliant and we liked to walk through the little village. If you don't mind to walk up the hill after you went to the beach or a walk by the sea stay there its nice and cozy.
Heiko2016-08-31T00:00:00ZThe host canceled this reservation 18 days before arrival. This is an automated posting.
CaterinaNice place to stay in Zavala. The view was nice. There is a market 2 minutes away from the apartment. We were able to book the room very late.
Guillaume2016-10-02T00:00:00ZDragana gave excellent way instructions before we came, and was warm and friendly. We loved the area and the view and we recommend to arrive before dark.
nilly2016-09-26T00:00:00ZVery friendly owners! We booked the apartement shortly before our arrival, which was no problem. The apartement has a nice view and is suited for two adults and a child. Zavala is a very nice and relaxed town, with good restaurants nearby and a little market around the corner.
Stefan2016-10-07T00:00:00ZThe apartment is great for your stay in Zavala. It's right by the supermarket, but for lower prices better shop in Jelsa. About 10 minutes on foot to pebble beach downhill. The apartment is a bit futher away from Zavala center where you can find a restaurant, cafe and tourist info. The view from the apartment is amazing and the location very relaxing. Recommneded for those treveling by car:)
Ignotas2016-09-24T00:00:00ZLa estancia durante dos días en casa de Dragana fue muy buena, nos dijo lo que podíamos hacer en la zona y que sitios visitar. La ubicación del apartamento espectacular, lugar muy tranquilo. Gracias Dragana, volveremos!!
Santiago2015-10-04T00:00:00ZThe owners were very hospitable and kind. Nice apartment right by the water with a convenient small grocery store close by. I would love to come back!

Margarita's apartment was just great. The area where it is located is a small quiet village where you can find peace although it is high season. It was really easy to communicate with Margarita and we found the house just as described. In fact the apartment looked even better than on the pictures. We got warmly welcomed by Margarita's father Ante, who made us feel at home right away! We are really glad that we found this little paradise on Hvar and would come back every time! Thanks for having us! :)
Franziska2015-08-21T00:00:00ZMy holiday in Zavala can only be described as magical. The village was very peaceful and quiet and Margarita's and Ante's stone house was a perfect refuge from the everyday fuss. The apartment was neat and provided everything one needs, a huge bed being an additional perk. Margarita's father was a great host always concerned about his guests well being. If you're planing to stay in Zavala I would most definitely recommend that charming place.
Katarzyna2014-09-29T00:00:00ZDas Apartment ist nett eingerichtet und gemütlich, wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt. Besonders schön ist die Terrasse mit schattigen Sitzplätzen. Das Apartment im ersten Stockwerk war ebenfalls vermietet und der Gastgeber Ante wohnt oben im Haus - wer absolute Einsamkeit sucht, mag sich daran stören, wir fanden den Kontakt zu den anderen Gästen aber sehr nett und Ante war ein extrem freundlicher, sympathischer und hilfreicher Gastgeber! Zum Meer und kleinen Kiesstränden und Buchten mit Pinienwäldern ist es ein kurzer (aber durchaus steiler) Fußweg, ebenso zum kleinen Supermarkt und zum Restaurant. Wir haben unsere Zeit in Zavala sehr genossen und würden das Apartment weiterempfehlen!
Vera2015-09-04T00:00:00ZThe Stone House was the perfect location for a relaxing holiday in the charming en quiet town of Zavala nearby nice beaches. We adored the authentic house and the town. Ante, the father of Margarita, who is living on the second floor, is a friendly and very helpful host.
Lynn2016-08-03T00:00:00ZWe had an absolutely wonderful three weeks in Zavala. The apartment is really lovely, cool in the hot weather and quiet. Ante lives upstairs and couldn't have been more helpful, he even drove us into Jelsa and to the ferry in Stari Grad as we had no car. Zavala has just the right level of 'busyness' for us - not over-touristed or crowded with a nice cafe and restaurant nearby. The beach and water are amazing and it's a lovely (great downwards, but steep climb back) walk down to the beach. We will definitely be coming again.
Peter2016-09-03T00:00:00ZThanks to our host Ante's welcoming hospitality and this wonderful apartment, this was one of the nicest vacations we've ever had. The apartment is perfect, always cool in the hot afternoons, screened from occasional mosquitos, Zavala a peaceful, gorgeous retreat. Can't wait to come back
Nick2016-07-29T00:00:00ZWe spent our honeymoon here and we loved it! Ante is welcoming, friendly, kind and helpful and you couldn't ask for a better host. He's there if you need anything but leaves you in peace to enjoy your holiday most of the time. The apartment has everything you need, the outdoor shower is really handy for when you get back from the beach. There's an indoor one as well of course! It's about a ten min walk to the beach down a steep slope or you can go the other way and it's a quick drive. Zavala itself is great. Lots of little beaches, beautiful clean sea and a really fabulous restaurant.
Jessica2016-07-12T00:00:00ZSéjour très agréable à Zavala chez Margarita. Elle et sa famille on été très accueillants. L'appartement au rez-de-chaussée d'une maison est très calme et agréable, et à seulement 5min à pied de la mer. Le village est calme, mais les villes plus animées ne sont pas bien loin, parfait pour des vacances reposantes. Nous y retournerions avec plaisir.

Short walk to town, nice cosy place, the beach house is awesome!
Shayna2016-09-03T00:00:00ZNous avons passé un merveilleux séjour chez Antonela et Miko (aux petits soins pour ses locataires) sur l'ile de Hvar. Les petites criques, l'eau cristalline, les paysages magnifiques, la gentillesse de nos hôtes, les villes pittoresques, la campagne...tout était parfait. L'appartement est conforme à sa description, la terrasse est grande et très agréable. Des escaliers permettent un accès rapide et sympa au port de Jelsa. Nous avons passé un bel après midi dans la petite crique de la "beach house", la lumière en fin de journée y est extraordinaire.
marie-claire2015-08-26T00:00:00ZAntonela and her family were fantastic hosts! We have just returned home from a week staying in their apartment with our four year old boy and we had a really wonderful time. Even though we arrived from the ferry very late in the evening, Antonela made sure we were met off the bus by her husband, Miko, and they welcomed us into their home on arrival, offering us their lovely homemade wine. They were keen to make sure we had everything we needed. The apartment was how we expected from the photos. It was clean and had everything we needed. The little terrace outside was perfect for eating out in the evenings and had a pretty view. Miko even took us to their beach house one of the days which was so kind. It was quiet and had a lovely beach with the most clear water, beautiful! Antonela was happy to advise on the best places to visit and eat and the whole family were so sweet with our little boy. Thank you to them all for making our holiday so lovely!
tho2014-08-23T00:00:00ZDas Apartment auf Jelsa ist wunderschön gelegen! Es ist von Zitronen- und Granatapfelbäumen umgeben. Um hinunter zum Meer zu gelangen, geht man den Weg durch das dichte Grün hindurch. Am Meer gibt es riesige, helle Steine, auf denen man sich nach dem Baden trocknen lassen kann. Das Wasser ist total erfrischen und sehr, sehr salzig. Um die Bucht herum verteilen sich viele Cafés, Bars und Restaurants. Die Gastgeber Antonela und ihr Mann, Miko, waren sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich. Wir hatten einen paradiesischen 10-Tage Urlaub! Danke an Miko und Antonela
Yana2014-08-30T00:00:00ZWe hebben fantastische dagen gehad bij Milo en anthonela!
Erna2015-07-24T00:00:00ZMy 17 year old daughter and I stayed here for one week in August. What can I say - the ground floor apartment was wonderful. Clean, spacious, air con, wifi worked really well. We had our own garden space and lovely view. So peaceful. Wonderful hosts Miko and Antonella - wine on arrival! Delicious home cooked prawns - well more like baby lobsters! And pasta delivered one day! We had use of their wonderful beach cottage and beach which is incredible and so quiet - I got a flat battery one day when at the beach cottage and Miko and daughter Clara really helped me. It is a 5 minute walk into Jelsa down some steps a and wow Jelsa is lovely - visit the back alleys for some great food. I cannot fault this apartments, well equipped as well with everything you need. He hosts live close by and really are all so helpful and charming. I will definitely re visit .
Tammy2016-08-19T00:00:00ZWar alles toll! Immer wieder gerne.
Laura2016-09-15T00:00:00ZWe had a wonderfull time in the four days we visited Jelsa. The appartment from Antonela and Miko was very good, nice cool and clean. Every thing we needed was present and we enjoyed the welkomsdrink and snack. When we arrived Miko helped us finding the appartment, and gave us the first information. The thing we liked most was the beach house who gave us the opportunity for sun, swim and a peacefull stay. Hvar is a lovely island, Jelsa an beautiful town and both Antonela and Miko are wonderful hosts. Thank you for the nice stay at your house. Regards and hopefully see you again, Hanneke and Peter

We have spent a wonderful time in Jelsa at Gorana's house. The apartment is very quiet and clean and Gorana gave us some good advice to visit Hvar Island. It is a great place to visit Hvar Island !
Anaïs2016-07-03T00:00:00ZGorana and her sons welcomed myself and my daughter after a rubbish journey to the island...I advice that when booking make sure flights arrive early or afternoon into split so you have good choice of ferris..we missed our 8.30pm and there was not another until 1.30am. It was nice to be welcomed at such a ungodly hour at the gates of the apartment. Gorana had baked a cake and left juice for us which we welcomed. The apartment is a short walk into the town which is stunning...there are no pavements so at first be aware if you have small children of the cars however after a few walks to and frow it was fine. the apartment is lovely...just what we needed and the swimming pool is great... We had a fantastic holiday and one day will visit again.
Claudia2016-09-03T00:00:00ZA nice apartment with pool.
Maria2016-09-18T00:00:00ZGorana and her Son were fantastic hosts. The place is very nice and they even gave my girlfriend some crutches to help with her twisted knee she got whilst on the beach. The pool was very nice and they gave us lots of information, and some fantastic beaches/islands to visit. Very good location too.
Joseph2016-08-04T00:00:00ZLa casa è in una zona tranquilla, a 15 min a piedi dal centro del paese. L'appartamento è stato pulitissimo. L'unica cosa che ci mancava era la TV. Gorana e i suoi figli sono stati molto disponibili (prima e durante il soggiorno), ci hanno dato tutte le informazioni utili sul paese, sulle spiagge da vedere, rent a car ed erano molto accoglienti. Consiglierei a tutti questa casa.
Anamarija2016-08-09T00:00:00ZGorana and her mum were really nice hosts, Gorana even walked to pick us up when we had got lost! Pool area was great for the kids and is hard to find in the area. Room(s) big and spacious with everything you need and if it wasn't there Gorana is on hand or one of the family. Nice and clean which is always a must, nice sleeps achieved throughout my family. Couple of areas of modernisation in the room could take the property to a further level. Overall great stay
Scott2016-08-10T00:00:00ZVery kind hosts, very helpful and gave us some useful tips. Location is very close to the beach and so are the supermarkets. The apartment was nice and clean. There is a communal area with tv and pool table. The swimming pool is nice and tidy. If you want to be at the party scene, in Hvar town, please note that this is approx 30 minutes drive. Otherwise the more calm and peaceful Jelsa is less than 10min away.
Adeel2016-07-26T00:00:00ZOur experience with Gorana was an absolute pleasure. Ivan, her son, came to collect us when we arrived and they showed us round our fantastic room - great attention to detail. Although we didn't spend too much time in the room, it had everything we needed. Jelsa is a beautiful little coastal town and we could have spent most of the trip investigating the intricacies of the streets there. However there are good bus links to Stari Grad and Hvar. Towards the end of our stay Ivan and Gorana helped us hire a fantastic little classic VW Beetle (or Buba) called Daisy which we took on a tour of the island out towards Sučuraj to the east. It was a great trip and we will have great memories of this for years to come. We would highly recommend staying with Gorana and we would definitely stay there again. Her and Ivan were welcoming and made us feel at home, and were attentive when required. Thank you both so much for looking after us during our stay on Hvar Island.

Nice place and nice family. No luxury but all you need is here to enjoy a relaxing time, in a quiet house with great people. Thanks
Thierry2015-08-24T00:00:00ZWe had a short but great stay at Sanda's place. Welcomed with a glass of homemade lemonade, she informed us about some nice places on the island. The house and room were old but charming and had a garden to sit in, with a view on the seaside and the centre of Jelsa.
Liese2015-07-31T00:00:00ZWe had a very nice stay in the house. The family hosting us was so kind to us and helped us as well with everything we needed. We recommend everybody who wants to stay in Jelsa this place because is both close to the beach and town.
Victor2014-08-14T00:00:00ZWe didn't meet Sanda but her mother was really nice and her daughter was really helpful with all the informations we needed. The location is perfect! We had our own private swimming place and a perfect view to the sunset. You can also watch the seaplane taking off and landing. The "Liberat" restaurant next to Sandas place was super good - with very good food and Wifi connection. The apartement was a few minutes walk to the center of Jelsa. The room is clean. We had a shared kitchen but our own bathroom. Staying at her place is totally woth it.
Timo2015-09-07T00:00:00ZVi trivdes mycket bra i Jelsa och Sandas hem. In-och utcheckning gick smidigt och trots att vi var flera gäster som bodde där upplevde vi aldrig att det var ont om plats i de gemensamma utrymmena (kök och uteplats). Flera familjemedlemmar bodde även i huset under vår vistelse, alla var mycket trevliga och hjälpsamma samtidigt som de lät oss gäster njuta av uteplatser och trädgård avskilt. Ett mycket prisvärt boende bara ett stenkast från havet, restauranger, cykel/kajak/biluthyrning och den lokala vinproducenten!
Tina2016-08-25T00:00:00ZA nice room to stay in if you love to swim in sky-blue water or if you want to rent a boat/car and see the island. Lovely host that was happy to talk to us.. I really recommend it! It was hard to find, but a taxi man helped us.
Christian2015-07-27T00:00:00ZUn véritable plaisir d'arriver chez Sanda, un accueil formidable, tout était conforme à nos attentes. Ce logement avec véritablement les pieds dans l'eau est situé dans un quartier calme à quelques minutes de marche du centre ville de Jelsa. A recommander sans hésitation et merci encore.

I'm back to blogging and I hope to make this a regular practice again. This quick post features a digitally altered image of my new journal cover.
I decided to join Amanda Jolley's Joy Journal Project to help me get back to art journaling. Our prompt was to choose a word for 2013 with further instructions. In December I was watching episodes of the BBC program "As Time Goes By". One of the main characters sighed that the ZING had gone out of his life. I love the sound of that word. ZING
I had a much more serious word in mind - STEADFAST, but ZING wouldn't let go.
This journal has bristol board pages and recycled cereal box covers. I will bind them with my Zutter. I may also include other paper in the journal since I'm keeping the pages loose for now.
Pieces of scrapbooking papers were adhered to cereal box cut to size. I added smears of gesso, and stamping. Die cut flowers were added. I will probably add doodling to the covers as well as time goes by. The insides of the covers are the plain side of the boxes which have some gesso and glazes of color on them with a finish of matte medium. I can easily embellish them in a variety of ways as time goes by.
I'm also planning to get back to digital image processing and have signed up for more of Kim Klassen's inspiration with Beyond Beyond. This was the first processing I've done with PSE for a few months and I can't believe how much I've forgotten. I have several weeks of lessons to pour though to get caught up. This image was altered with a bit of texture layering and blending modes along with some added text.
