Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Gornja Brela

We had a most memorable stay at ivor’s place. The price point was incredibly reasonable for what we got. The view and amenities were outstanding. Ivor was always responsive, and when he wasn’t available on site, his mother was very helpful. It was so nice to feel part of the community! It’s such an idyllic village, and it was even more perfect because the huge tourist rush was coming to an end. We can’t say enough good things about the apartment, Ivor and his family, and we’d highly recommend staying with them. Thank you Ivor and family for your kindness and hospitality 😊❤️

Antišas place was absolutely brilliant: perfect location, clean and welcoming and with breathtaking views from the balconies! Easy to park the car just by the building. Great value for money. Short walk to the beach, several bakeries, grocery stores and many restaurants. (Also walking distans to a basketball court, something our 13 year old son really enjoyed!) Perfect location for the beautiful beach walk to Brela. Antiša and his family was super friendly and easy going. He responded very quickly, and was very accommodating to our requests. The kitchen was perhaps not totally fully equipped but it had what we needed to make breakfasts and a few simple dinners to enjoy on the balcony. Overall a wonderful place; we would love to stay there again!

We had a wonderful stay in Jelsa – the accommodation was exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. It is peacefully and idyllically located, yet just a 5-minute walk from the center of Jelsa, making it the perfect base for exploring the town and the island of Hvar. Our host Benko was absolutely fantastic – very friendly, helpful, and always available whenever we had questions or needed recommendations. You can tell right away that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his guests. The accommodation itself was clean, well-maintained, and well-equipped, with everything you need. We felt very comfortable and welcome, and truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend staying with Benko!

We had a very enjoyable stay in Hvar at Mireja’s fantastic apartment. The space is clean, modern and has every amenity required for a visitor and was very comfortable, we felt right at home. Surrounded by beautiful plants and a lovely garden, it was quiet and peaceful. Mireja was a very kind and helpful host. The location is great, just 5 minutes to swimming spots and the old town centre. There are an abundance of bars and restaurants in the area, and supermarkets nearby. We enjoyed Hvar Brewing Co ( 2 mins walk) for their amazing salads and burgers and also Carpe Diem (5 mins walk) for their fab and well priced breakfasts! We hope to Hvar again soon! 😀 Thank you Mireja

Would definitely recommend anyone to stay at Helena's place! Lovely welcoming host and the view we had from our balcony was worth every penny!!

Amazing place, right on the beach and in a beautiful area. Great contact with the host, Marja was very helpful.

Really wonderful place in Old Town. Lovely private space nestled into the old, labyrinthian quarter. Gave a vibe and glimpse of being a part of this charming community. Helpful hosts. Recommend.

Location, location, location! The studio is in such a fantastic position between the harbour and the strip, with fabulous views over the park and beach. It has everything you need for a seaside holiday and Gino is a great host, very responsive and helpful. We will definitely be back

Tonci's accommodation is a hidden gem. The approach is very steep and due to a bottleneck, it is recommended to use a small car (we rented a VW Polo and a Renault Capture). However, the hardships are definitely worth it! We were greeted around 8:30 pm by Tonci personally. He had provided a small cheese/sausage platter and showed us the apartment. Contrary to the statement that there was no hot water, there was some, you just had to turn the boiler switch. The apartment was clean and looked like the pictures. Up in the mountains, you have a lot of privacy. The nearest neighbors live a good 60m away. Tonci came by about every three days to maintain the pool (refill chlorine tablets and measure water level). While the pool was being refilled, there was time for questions about the surroundings and small conversations. We more than enjoyed our stay and can only recommend this accommodation.

great peaceful home which is decorated with love. the surrounding somehow felt magical when looking on one side to the ocean and the other to the mountains. we had some cats as guests which really made it special. hiking is a great recommendation when staying. dubrovka was very friendly and responsive. we absolutely enjoyed our stay. ✨🐱

We had a wonderful stay at Ante’s place! The home was cozy, clean, and exactly as described. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, and I appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the space, which made my stay comfortable and relaxing. The host was responsive and accommodating, which added to the overall pleasant experience. The only minor issue was that the internet connection was a bit slow at times, and mobile data didn’t work as well as expected, but it didn’t take away from the charm of the stay. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to unplug and enjoy some downtime. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape!

We had such a lovely time here! Toni and his wife Ivana were very warm and welcoming and gave great recommendations on nearby beaches, restaurants, and other things to do. They even had a few snacks for us when we arrived which was greatly appreciated- made settling in so easy! The pool was beautiful and honestly, the view from the front balcony is breath taking. Splitska is a quiet little town, but has several restaurants within a 2 minute walk from the house. Supetar is only 10 minutes away and has big grocery stores for any needs you may have. Postira is another cute town only 10-15 minutes away as well. Highly recommend and can’t wait to go back!

Villa Lucian is a fantastic place to stay at, and the village Selca is both calm and friendly. Great views with relevant services are nearby. Close to nice villages like Sumartin and Povlja, and many other beautiful destinations on Brac island. The house is comfortable, clean and spacious. The two apartments offer many options and rooms, and the utensils are plenty. The pool area is awesome, both for adults and for kids. The only improvement we've come up with would be if the jacuzzi was heated for use in evenings. The upper level's outside area is great for gathering everyone for meals. Best of all? The host Tanja, who is a Croatian diamond. Friendly, helpful, informative, trustworthy and she will enhance your stay in addition to the great villa itself. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience that will linger in our hearts!

This was a beautiful spot! Martina’s property was well taken care of with gardens and flowers. Beautiful view of Omiš. Can’t wait to visit again!

My whole family was obsessed with this place. The adults loved the beautiful scenery and the peacefulness and the kids loved the hot tub and the swings. The house is adorable and very nice and the views were even better than the pictures. We loved meandering around Humac and being close to so many interesting small villages to explore. If you are looking for a peaceful retreat on the island of Hvar, you will be hard pressed to find something better than Mario’s place.

I had a great stay at Tom’s villa! It’s in a beautiful setting with incredible views of the Adriatic and the mountains in the distance, with a sparkling pool and vineyards in between - stunning! Shops and restaurants nearby were open during the first few days of my stay but closed down in early October. Plenty of great restaurants in Jelsa though which was still walking distance from the villa (3km). Tom had wine, and other drinks in the fridge and snacks on the table prior to checking which was so appreciated and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking (spices, oils, etc). Don’t hesitate, if you’re looking for a great villa in a perfect setting, book Villa Tomic!

We got a very warm welcome. The apartment was spotless and had everything we needed. Everything worked. We didn’t need to contact Petra during our stay as everything was provided. The terrace was very private, spacious and with beautiful views day and night. The beach and shop are 3-5 minute walk away stocking most items. If you don’t have a car, we decided not to hire, use Uber, super cheap. The 42 bus seems to run only week days in the winter and stops at the shop, again very cheap. So glad we stayed here, would stay again.

Nice, clean apartment with private balcony with sea view and view of the island of Brač. Ideal for breakfast and ending the day with a glass of wine in the evening. If you like, there is also room for a yoga mat ;). To the beach, it is a few steps down and then back up again later - a small workout included. The beach itself is sweet, clear water, also shady spots and 1-2 gastronomic offers available. By car, you are quickly in Omis and after about 45 minutes also in Split, if you want some city feeling :). The hostess was very friendly and always easily accessible. We are happy to recommend the apartment!

Great location, only a 15 to 20 min car journey to either Split or Trogir. Lovely home right next to the water. Perfect for a quiet getaway, but easy travel to some of the more touristy areas.

We had a wonderful week in Pisak. Great view of the sea and coast. The bay is directly accessible via a staircase and is fantastically quiet. You have the feeling that everything is prepared with love. The apartment offers everything you need and we felt very comfortable.

Perfect stay in Dugi Rat in Mireli's apartment. It was very clean, comfortable and quiet. The neighborhood is very quiet with the beach, shops and restaurants a few minutes walk away. Mirela is a very kind and helpful host. I would definitely recommend her apartment.

The Studio flat was really great with everything you need for a holiday. It is very close to Split airport so only 10 minuits by taxi. Enough distance so that there is hardly any aircraft noise. It is literally across the road from the beach. All the beaches have fine slightly sharp gravel so take beach shoes. The Island of Trogir is a 10 minuite bus journey ride away that stops practically outside the door. You can also easily bus to many little beaches with changing places and showers. There are Water sports, buses, water taxis close by and a ferry to Split. The host is really nice, always contactable, very helpful and full of local knowledge. I cannot recommend the wonderful host and her family enough in this perfect location.

Ana Maria and her mom were fantastic hosts! Ana Maria welcomed us as if we were family and was always available to recommend restaurants and beaches. The house is just as pictured, quiet and well divided and very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Bol. Very close to the center of the village and easily reachable on foot. Thanks Ana Maria for this beautiful vacation! Best regards, Giulia

Tomislav and Ivana were both extremely responsive from day one when I let them know our plane was delayed to the day we checked out. We received a great welcome when we arrived and discounts to some local restaurants. The location was perfect, two minutes walk to the beach, lovely bars and restaurants within walking distance and the harbour only a mile away. Apartment was lovely and relaxing and the pool and garden are in direct sunlight up until early evening. Would definitely recommend.
