Our family started building this property in 1980. Every summer, for years, we would come here with our parents on our summer vacations and every year we would build it a bit by bit. When war came in ex-Yugoslavia, we had to leave the country and our beloved house. In the late 90’s, after we settled in the Netherlands, we kept coming back on our vacations to rebuild it. A few years ago we finished the renovation. Still, every summer, we keep working on the details to make it perfect!

We are a mother and two daughters that love this house as we were coming here to celebrate our vacations for years and years. Now that we live far away, not to leave the house empty whilst we are not there, we share the house with great pleasure with our guests.

Čiovo is located in central Dalmatia, protecting the city of Trogir and Kaštela gulf. On its SE part it is only two km distant from the cape Marjan, on its northern part it is connected to the mainland with a small bascule bridge in the old centre of Trogir, and actually Trogir spread itself onto the island. Besides the portion of Trogir, on the island there are several villages: Arbanija, Žedno, Okrug Gornji, Okrug Donji, Slatine and Prizidnica. The vegetation is typically Mediterranean, consisting mainly in understory (holm oak, myrtle, wormwood, juniper etc.). On the northern side (exposed to the wind bura) are forests of pine and cypress. Major crops include olives, figs, almonds, vines and citrus fruit.
