We paid around £50 a night in April and stayed in a small but comfortable room on the ground floor. The owners do not speak perfect English, but the gentleman was keen to help with taxis and arranged these for us several times. Generally the room was clean, although on the first morning we discovered ants were roaming around the... More

We were at Villa Ivana (Puntamika, Zadar) twice. Nice rooms, lovely, spacey terraces, wonderful view, excellent breakfast, good (and quite peaceful) location (view, beach, starting wandering point and a good restaurant near by) and really cool owner and his family. If there was just a little bit cheaper and a little bit cleaner, would be perfect. It’s not dirty, don’t... More

We stayed 4 nights at Villa Ivana and were sorry to go. Everything was so great: views on the old town, the Adriatic, the beach, our cosy and confortable room with the balcony overlooking the sea, delicious breakfast and hosts that were friendly and very helpful. The Old Town is a pleasant 40 minute walk or you can take the... More

We stayed at Villa Ivana for 5 nights at the start of our Croatian holiday and our only disappointment was that there was no availability for the last few nights of our trip (our trip was split in 3 parts), but can see now why it is so popular. The hosts were so friendly and helpful that we felt part... More

Villa Ivana was great. In particular the family that run it are excellent hosts. They gave us great tips and ideas about good locations to visit, restaurants, practicalities of getting to the old town and were very genuine. Our apartment was spacious, clean and very comfortable. Highly recommended as the best place we stayed in Croatia.

Villa Ivana was the perfect place for our 3-night stay in Zadar. The views of the Adriatic from our spacious balcony were breathtaking. The hosts and their children were so friendly and accommodating. All of their suggestions (taxi drivers, boat excursions, restaurants, local attractions) were spot-on and helped make our vacation exciting and memorable. The breakfast was delicious and our... More

We are half way through a 6 week trip and this has been the loveliest place to stay, better than a 5 star in Dubrovnik that we stayed in. We felt instantly welcomed and very well looked after. Nothing is too much trouble from helping out with washing to phoning a national park for weather conditions! The room at the... More

Having visited all the major country locations around the Mediterranean our stay at the Villa Ivana passed all expectations. The hospitality was generous, relaxed, and never intrusive. The location and facility of the Villa were perfect if what you like is doorstep access to good food and the cleanest and freshest of ocean swimming. The views over the sea towards... More
