COMO CHEGAR LÁ Villa Katy é apenas 9. 5 km de distância de Vela Luka, ou cerca de 40 km da cidade de Korcula. Os aeroportos mais convenientes são os de Dubrovnik e Split. Para aproveitar ao máximo sua viagem, recomendamos a locação de um carro - todas as principais empresas de aluguel de carros possuem balcões nos aeroportos de Dubrovnik e Split.
LIGAÇÃO SEAPLANE A opção mais rápida é voar para o aeroporto de Split e depois pegar um hidroavião de Split Downtown para Vela Luka (16 minutos de viagem). Para mais informações, consulte: http: // www. ec-air. eu / pt / horário # type_split. Quando você chega a Vela Luka, a vila Katy fica a 9. 5 Km.
CONEXÃO DE Balsa Também existem serviços regulares de ferry entre Split e Vela Luka ou de Dubrovnik à cidade de Korcula. a) Voando para Split: uma balsa de carro de Split para Vela Luka sai duas vezes por dia, leva cerca de 2,5 horas para chegar a Vela Luka (Korcula). b) Voar para Dubrovnik: se você optar por voar para a bela Dubrovnik medieval, poderá dirigir até a cidade de Orebic (na península de Peljesac), onde a balsa local para Korcula sai a cada 30 minutos. Leva apenas 15 minutos para atravessar de Orebic até o porto de Domince (Korcula).
A opção Split é mais fácil, mas Dubrovnik é uma viagem mais panorâmica. Quando você chega a Vela Luka, o Villa Katy fica a apenas 15 minutos de carro do centro da cidade.
ILHA DE KORCULA - DETALHES A ilha de Korcula tem muitas pequenas enseadas com praias de seixos que proporcionam uma atmosfera acolhedora e tranquila. Korcula é uma das ilhas mais arborizadas do Adriático. É uma área típica do Mediterrâneo com vários tipos de flora: cipreste, pinheiro, oliveira, carvalho e murta. Ervas indígenas e plantas aromáticas também crescem na ilha: sálvia, alecrim, lavanda, hortelã, manjerona etc. A versão romana antiga do nome Korcula era Corcyra Nigra, a versão grega antiga era Corcyra Melaina, ambos os nomes referem-se aos densos pinhais da ilha. Um aforismo francês diz que "um dia sem vinho é como um dia sem sol". Sol e vinho sempre estiveram conectados na história de Korcula. Devido ao sol do Mediterrâneo, os vinhos Korcula e Peljesac têm uma qualidade e aroma específicos. Os gregos antigos que fundaram sua colônia Corcyra Melaina não apenas estabeleceram um centro comercial e cultural, mas também plantaram vinhas que desde então produzem vinhos estimados em todo o mundo.
CIDADE VELHA DE KORCULA - DETALHES Korcula Old Town é uma cidade murada medieval, posicionada em um inchaço de terra em forma oval, apontando profundamente para o Canal Peljesac. A cidade em si é arranjada com uma sucessão de ruas estreitas que se ramificam na espinha da rua principal como os ossos de um peixe. A cidade de Korcula é conhecida por Moreska - uma dança tradicional com espadas e drama que era comum em todo o Mediterrâneo nos séculos 12 e 13, chegando a Korcula no século 16 da Itália e Dubrovnik. O período de ouro para Korcula ocorreu entre os séculos XIII e XV, quando a forma atual da cidade velha foi adquirida através da construção de edifícios importantes; a maioria delas ainda pode ser vista hoje. Foi durante esse período que os venezianos deixaram sua marca distintiva na cultura e arquitetura de Korcula, que foi bem preservada para as gerações futuras.

Sensational place for a tranquil holiday
We stayed for 1 week in July.. A family group of 7. The location of the villa couldn’t be better - a stunning bay with crystal clear water, very safe for children. There are two kayaks with life jackets for the kids and they loved paddling over to the other side of the bay and snorkelling. The eating area is simply stunning - the perfect spot for breakfast or a lazy dinner. The pool is small but with great views. The two outdoor power showers were excellent. Katy and Tonci had arranged for a local man to bring us groceries each morning so we barely had to leave the villa. The short taxi ride to Vela Luka is so easy and the little town is charming. We had some super dinners, linches and insane ice creams at Diana! This place is a real treat in every way.

Sehr schönes Fleckchen Erde.
Wunderschöner Ausblick, tolle und ruhige Bucht, schöner Zugang zum Meer. Die Villa selbst ist sehr sauber und mit allem was man braucht ausgestattet. Achtung: ein Motorboot/Tretboot ist nicht vorhanden. Macht aber auch nichts, da man ausgiebig schwimmen, schnorcheln, paddeln (Kajak), wandern und die Seele am Pool (schöner Salzwasserpool) baumeln lassen kann. Katy brachte auch 2x Kuchen (yammi). Rückfragen während des Aufenthaltes wurden sehr schnell und super freundlich beantwortet. Vielen Dank an Katy und Tonci.

Perfect
Villa: Pretty, spacious and well equipped villa, really felt like home from home. Spotlessly clean and well maintained, enhanced by Katy's artistic touches.
Grounds: extensive landscaped gardens, choice of terraces, balconies and tranquil spots, beautiful pool area, outside showers, fab BBQ. Add a private mooring jetty and beach area,complete with sun beds and kayak..what more can you want?
Setting: on a small headland commanding 270 views of the beautifully tranquil, wooded bays and islands out to sea. Breathtakingly gorgeous.
Service: nothing is too much trouble for Katy and her family. Its her home as well as her business.
Local Area: Pretty Vela Luka 10mins away by car, Supermarket on the outskirts. Don't miss the daily fish/produce market. Ask if you can't find it! Everyone speaks English and people are v friendly. Car hire and taxi companies couldn't be more helpful. Ferries from Vela Luca to Hvar, Split etc.
Plenty of restaurants/bars . Try "Bata" restaurant for excellent local food.
Korcula town ("little Dubrovnic" definitely worth a visit) is at the opposite end of island, we found it quite a trip by boat and went by car the second time, which was quicker!
Proizd island with its white pebbles and crystal water is a short boat ride away
Tips:
The mooring at Villa Katy has a lazy line, so you don't need to worry about dropping an anchor.
If you are waterskiing from Villa Katy make sure you stay at least 200m from the shore for safety of any swimmers and so as no to disturb the "neighbours" (not may of those about!)
Friendly local families occasionally picnic/swim on the adjacent foreshore. The shoreline belongs to Croatia, so they are entitled to do so but they are very careful not to wander onto private land, and are absolutely no trouble.
We drove a charter boat from Split to Korcula this year but it was 3.5hrs each way and guzzled so much fuel. Next year we'll catch the sea plane (18minutes) to take the ferry is which is only £7 pp

Echter Urlaub---2 wunderbare Wochen
Es war genauso, wie wir uns das Haus vorgestellt haben - wunderbare, einsame Lage, traumhafter Garten, wundervoller Blick und Ruhe! Die Kinder haben den Pool in vollen Zügen genossen und wir alle das Meer.
Das Haus war so wie beschrieben, endlich mal groß genug und bestens ausgestattet. Alle kleinen Probleme, die in den ersten Tagen (nach 7 Monaten Winterpause) autraten, wurden sofort behoben. Herzlichen Dank für die Gastfreundschaft!

It is truly paradise!!
My family spent one unforgettable week in this villa in September. We have traveled quite a lot and stayed in some pretty special places but this villa is situated right on the most pristine water giving an unbelievable experience! The owner thought of everything in the design of this home. The rooms were beautiful and fully equipped. We spent most of our time outside in the gazebo and on the terrace overlooking the most beautiful turquoise water! I cannot say enough great things about this villa. It is in a perfect location, perfectly maintained and only steps away from the beach. It is truly paradise!! We shall be back. Highly recommended!

Lovely villa, stunning setting!
We can only agree with the majority of the reviews already written that this is a superb holiday villa. The villa was comfortable, spacious and well-equipped. The amazing view from the villa and the pool will stay forever in our memory. All in the house was perfect and absolutely comfortable. Since we rented a car, we also visited nearby towns including enchanting Dubrovnik. We had a very relaxing holiday, only too short! Thank you Katy also for the delicious cake made our leaving a little bit sweeter.

We had a wonderful time here, the villa and location was fantastic for sightseeing and relaxing which was exactly what we wanted from our holiday. The villa was very specious and clean and set in lovely grounds right next to the sea. The planting around the house is beautiful, it's so quiet it feels like your own secret hideaway. We soon established a daily ritual, of a morning dip in the sea followed by breakfast on the terrace… leaving us to decide whether to relax by the pool or venture out to discover new beaches and seaside villages...then finishing off each evening with meal of freshly caught fish and some local wine on the dining terrace and perhaps one more dip in the pool.
We shall be back - thank you Katy and Tonci.

Awesome Croatian Island experience
Our two weeks-long stay at this villa was the best part of our 3 week visit to Croatia. The villa was absolutely lovely. The view was spectacular. The waterfront location was close to everything you needed or wanted to do, and the property and situation of the villa provided a sense of privacy and serenity unequaled by any vacation property we have ever rented.
The villa and the setting were perfectly married, an ideal property by the sea. The view from the property was expansive and idyllic.The villa is fully equipped with even a microwave, free wifi, and an outdoor BBQ make it feel like home.
We particularly liked the serenity and just being able to watch the occasional yacht drifting silently across the bay was truly wonderful. The large shady front terrace and the gazebo area outside was a real bonus allowing us to cool off after baking round the poolside! Wouldn't hesitate to recommend this villa. Thanks for a brilliant time.

perfect holiday in wonderful Villa Katy
We have just returned from a perfect holiday in wonderful Villa Katy, which is one of the best villas we have ever stayed in. We spent most of our time relaxing by the lovely pool or eating/drinking on the splendid terrace. The kids also enjoyed the spacious outdoor areas where they could play.
The spectacular location are quite literally breathtaking and will live long in our memories.
The owner was easy to contact and helpful both before we arrived and during the stay.
I could not recommend this villa highly enough.

Secret hideaway in amazing location
We had a wonderful time here, the villa and location was fantastic for sightseeing and relaxing which was exactly what we wanted from our holiday. The villa was very specious and clean and set in lovely grounds overlooking the sea. The choice of outdoor dining and lounging areas is excellent, we spent our days enjoying the weather, the pool, the views and barbecuing in the evening. The planting around the house is beautiful, it's so quiet it feels like your own secret hideaway. Only a 15 minutes by car to the nearest town Vela Luka which had lovely restaurants by the waterfront. We found Korcula and the villa wonderful and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We cannot wait to return!

Near paradise
The seclusion, tranquility and peace that you recieve staying here is amazing. Only 10 minutes from a lovely town with nice restaurants and shops, whilst still leaving you with the feeling that you could be on a private island. We loved the villa and Katy is wonderful, she even baked us a cake and brought us fresh figs. The views are spectacular and private yachts seem to find the location amazing also as they anchor in the bay, which leads you to wonder who is the luckier person. We loved it and can't recommend it enough. The only downside was that the whole of Croatia seems to be infested with wasps and these can be a bother when you are trying to eat or drink outdoors, but this seemed true of the whole Dalmatian Coast. If you want tranquility and a fabulous villa in a stunning location, with great food and wine nearby (by car), look no further, you will not be disappointed. Great value for money.

Great holiday, superb location
When we arrived at Villa Katy we were pleased by the beauty of location of the house. The location does not get better then this. Peaceful and calm atmosphere combined with the fantastic views, takes away all motivation to go somewhere else. We lounged to take in the sun, swam in both the pool and the beach at the base of the property, and we even took the kayaks out a couple of times. This was definitely one of our favorite family vacations, and we'd recommend it to anyone we know.

Beautiful and unspoilt
This really proved to be wonderful holiday. The island is beautiful and unspoilt, and the people, without exception, friendly and helpful. It is beautifully furnished with everything you could possibly wish for, all top quality! We have visited so many villas where the owners have just spent the minimum possible...but not this one. The description is accurate. The views are stupendous. If you rented a villa with views like this in the South of France it would cost ten times more. The locality was just right for us. There were some lovely restaurants in Vela Luka serving traditional croatian dishes and seafood. Undoubtedly the best thing is direct access to the sea for swimming, kayaking or to simply to lounge and watch the ocean. Overall this is a charming place and perfect for a relaxing holiday.

Highly recommended.

Six of us stayed for a week at Villa Katy, it was truly amazing from start to finish. It villa was spotless, huge, modern and had all the amenities you could possibly want. The best part was the villa's great locaton with the stunning views overlooking the water. Our host was incredibly helpful and made us feel right at home from the moment we arrived until we left a week later.
It was truly great holiday and we're definitely coming back!

Stanning location and great service
Surrounded by huge gardens and located right on the tip of point of the bay Villa Katy is the ideal spot for sun and sea lovers holiday. You can lounge around, explore the gardens or take a dip in the ocean, all the time with seclusion and privacy. When we where the in October, the heated pool was a pleasant alternative for the children.
The house has been recently tastefully refurbished with a thoroughly modern decor throughout and I particularly loved the shower panel with jet massage.
The owner was very helpful and friendly.
Overall we had a great time and would recommend this place to everyone.

A sublime holiday
Yes - the villa interior is a little dated but the rooms are comfortable and the kitchen (the only room you are likely to spend anytime in) is spacious and well equipped. The beds were comfortable and the ceiling fans do a good job of keeping you cool.
What this villa really specialises in is outdoor space. Here there can be few equals. Sitting on a small headland between two bays, the villa is flanked on two sides by water and so affords fantastic views from almost every angle. The gardens are verdant and colourful, with plenty of places to pull up a chair or hammock and escape from city stress (or the rest of your party). The jetty provides a great fishing and swimming spot and the newly built swimming pool will provided another great seating area when opened.
The Villa sits at the far end of Korcula island and sights are very limited. This is a spot to wind down in - not to tick off sights. Vela Luka (15 mins drive) has a pretty harbour front with good restaurants and a direct car ferry to Split. There is also a basic taverna within walking (3 mins) distance of the villa.
Katy was an efficient and obliging host and the homemade cake a real treat. A truly special spot and one which the 8 of us would gladly return.
Go - but don’t tell anyone else about it!

Overpriced
We stayed here at the start of the season and in May/ June and found the description accurate but this is definitely NOT a luxurious villa. The furniture is jaded 1950's, bathrooms are tiny, master bath is on ground floor and next to it another tiny bathroom while 4 bedrooms are upstairs and share one tiny bathroom. Mattresses are old, not very comfortable and bedding is also 1950's. The villa could use some modernizing. The balconies have wonderful views but the windows are small so the view can only really be optimized from outside.
But this is not a villa that one visits for the inside - the outdoors is spectacular though very cold when it is windy as it is exposed out on a peninsula - faces southeast so sun sets behind mountains. Outdoor furniture has seen better days and the villa we found in comparison with other places on the island of Korcula to be very over priced.
The dishwasher did not work and the safe broke. The tiny pool was under construction at the time of our visit. Instructions on how to operate things were not given. There is no parking except outside the villa on dirt.
The property was clean. Limited old towels were provided until we asked for more. However, absolutely no staples were provided and we had to ask for salt, pepper, dish washer detergent etc. The door to the laundry room was locked and we were not given a key.
Customer service was patchy. Although broken things were fixed, it was by no means immediate. I would guardedly recommend the property during July - September only and for families or those who are not seeking above an average property. Most restaurants and activities were closed as the start of June was not yet season. The villa is isolated at the end of a dirt road.

A very special place
Spent two weeks here mid September 2009 with my partner and I cannot recommend the property highly enough.
A truly adorable villa in the most amazing location. The views are to die for. Spent ages searching the internet for a house with private sea access and managed to find that, and a whole lot more! The little private beach and jetty is where we spent most of our time. The kayaks are great, allowing you to explore all the nearby bays and see the amazing Korculan coastline from the best possible vantage point. Have never seen such clean, clear and inviting water in Europe before!!!!!! It's more like the Caribbean!
The house has all the facilities anyone could possibly need and is very comfortable. Most of our time was spent outside though! Numerous terraces and dining areas provide a perfect setting for any mood or occasion, day and night!
The pretty town of Vela Luka is nearby and has basic shops and supermarkets as well as some nice simple bars and restaurants that are very good value for money. Overall a perfect holiday hideaway. We were looking for a beautiful quiet environment to relax and do very little and that is exactly what we found.
And last but not least, there is the lovely Katy! A truly wonderful lady and the perfect host. She was very helpful if needed but never intruded on our holiday. And the daily gifts of homemade cakes and fresh figs were much appreciated!!!!!
Have rebooked the villa for a month next year. Enough said!

Beautiful hiding place
Very nice location with an owner you would wish to have as your aunt (very kind with great cake creation abilites...:-)).
It is so peaceful and cosy, that in the end we did not have the planned excursions we wanted just stay there, swim, eat, enjoy the garden and do not think about the outside world.
Beautifully set spacious villa, with balconies, so that you have al fresco breakfast, lunch, dinner, all with different settings as the sun moves.
Well equipped kitchen, sitting room, bathrooms. You would not need anything else. The villa's ventillation, setting and the garden's microclimate is such, that we did not switch on the aircon. And it was a hot August...
Just lovely. Briefly: the kids only very few times really wanted to get back to the same place for the summer holidays. And they spent summers in Greece, Sardinia, Portugal, Austria, you name it....This case we did not leave the villa yet, and they banged on my head to book it for the next summer as well (which we did).
