About this property
Calm island, villa awarded for the best holiday home on the Croatian coast
Villa "Mediterraneo" with two charming apartments and swimming pool (heated), only 30 meters from the sea: small island of Kaprije (Sibenik).
Please CONTACT US to check the availability BEFORE you make a reservation request (the calendar is not updated)!
The price is shown per apartment, so the price of the whole villa (for up to 13 persons) is double (the villa consists of two apartments).
Listed price is for a stay longer than 3 nights. Otherwise, there is a short stay supplement: 20% for 3 nights, 30% for 2 nights and 60% for a 1 night stay.
In high season (July-August) the booking is on weekly basis (weekend-weekend) except in case of last minute booking.
AWARDS:
* winner of the 2019 „Tourism Flower – Quality for Croatia“ for the best holiday home on the Croatian coast (awarded by the Croatian Chamber of Commerce and the Ministry of Tourism)
* winner of the 2019 „Golden Boula“ award for the best holiday home in the county (awarded by the Tourist Board of the Sibenik-Knin county)
* nominated for the 2019 „Tourism Flower“ award for the most originally designed private accommodation in Croatia (3 nominees from the whole country)
* holder of „Like Home“ quality certificate (premium selection of private accomodation by the Tourist Board of the Sibenik-Knin county)
DESCRIPTION:
All rooms are bright and sunny, with French doors that open onto a private, generously proportioned balcony/terrace overlooking the sea and hillside. The backyard contains a spacious patio with a gazebo/pavilion, a summer kitchen, an open shower, a big barbeque and a lush garden with Mediterranean herbs and a swimming pool.
The patio is shaded by the wine tree where in the late September hang juicy red grapes. This is a delightful spot for enjoying the morning cappuccino, lunch or dinner. The barbecue area is stocked with firewood (a traditional stone hearth with peka - a cast-iron dome placed over coals).
The six-meters long heated swimming pool will bring most joy to your children. It contains underwater lights, hydromassage, volley net, water-polo goal, balls and air-mattresses.
The swimming pool is located in the garden, lined with lavender shrubs and canopied by olive branches. It is accompanied by deck-chairs, beach umbrellas and a sun shower.
GETTING THERE:
Your only task is to reach Sibenik. Then you can relax and let us arrange everything else.
If you are arriving by car, we will meet you at the Sibenik town entrance and take you to the parking lot in front of our house (free of charge) where we can look after your car during your stay in Kaprije (cars are not allowed on the island).
We will go to Kaprije together, either by ferry or by our boat, and transport your luggage to the apartment. Then we return to Sibenik, leaving you to enjoy the island.
If you are arriving by plane or by boat to Split or Zadar, we can organize the transfer to Sibenik (airport shuttle).
ADDITIONAL SERVICES:
- garage (in a private house) in Sibenik
- transfer to the island with our 8m long power-sailer
- picnic excursions to the beaches of nearby islands or to Kornati and Krka national parks
- boat rental (3m long)
- daily maid service and laundry
- pet care service (pets are not allowed in the apartments)
Feel free to also check our second property - a brand new villa with two pools close to Primosten: "villa-mediterranea DOT business DOT site"

About the host
Hosted by Kristijan Perkovic
What makes me feel alive:
- Meeting people from different cultures
- Traveling (particularly to far, exotic destinations)
- Leading Croatian-Brazilian Society
- Popularizing science
- Volunteering in education (teaching programming in primary school, managing local sailing school and competitions, etc.)
- Organizing a series of lectures in the local library where I host popular Croatian travel writers
- Designing and building unique architectural and furnishing solutions
- Participating in a local weekly pub quiz competition
- Dancing tango and salsa
- Sailing with my sailing boat
- Attending pop/rock concerts
- Participating in travel festivals
- Spending time with my wife, our 3 children and with friends
- Dreaming BIG!
I was born in 1975 in Sibenik, a small Croatian coastal town. I finished Natural Sciences Grammar School in 1993 and moved to Zagreb to study. There I discovered my passion for traveling and getting to know other cultures. I founded Croatian-Brazilian Society and co-founded Croatian branch of student organization Board of European Students of Technology (BEST). When I graduated as electrical engineer (and as professor of Portuguese), for 9 years I worked as manager in a multinational telecom company. I got a chance to visit wonderful parts of the world, either on business trips, or traveling independently.
When my 3 children were born I decided to change the lifestyle and to pursue my vision of a calm family life in balance with a job where I would not be liable to my boss but only to the customers. I left the corporation and big city, and returned to my home region (Dalmatia). We settled in a quiet coastal village close to my hometown, and I fully devoted to tourism. I used experience from my travels and from my job to try to raise tourist service level in my community, both through growth of my accommodation offer and through volunteering as the vice-president of the Association of Private Accommodation Owners in Croatian Chamber of Commerce.

Why they chose this property
In the late ‘80s my father bought a land on a beautiful island close to our hometown. He started to build a humble beach house for our family, but the progress was very slow because he did not have enough money to hire a construction company so he had to build everything with his own hands, only occasionally assisted by some friends. I helped him as much as I could, but I was still a child. Building a house on such an isolated island was very difficult because all the material (even gravel) had to be brought from the mainland, and as there was no ferry connection, my father had to bring all building material by his small boat.
In 1998, when me and my sister were in the university and my parents’ salaries barely covered the cost of our studies, I suggested my father to take a bank loan to finish the house and then to rent it during the summer season in order to return the loan. As it was soon after the war in Croatia, he was worried that in case of further instabilities the tourists (who slowly started to return to our region) would disappear again and then he would not be able to pay off the loan. So I suggested him the opposite approach: to start renting the house although it was unfinished (at a low price) and then use every season’s earnings to continue finishing the house. I was in charge of advertising and booking (I created our first Web site in year 2000, while still many Croatian hotels did not have one), and I helped my parents with hosting and maintenance. Although this plan was successful and the completion continued, it still progressed very slowly. 3 years later I graduated, got my first job, soon I got married and then my wife and me decided to invest all our savings and future earnings to accelerate the house completion. 3 years later, in 2005, the house was finally finished. Then we focused on the yard and garden - every year we added something: paved the terraces, built the pool, gazebo, pergola, canopy, sunbathing area, depositories, etc.
