Our newly refurbished eco studio apartment in the loft of our family home is the perfect spot from which to enjoy Sutivan and the island of Brač. It's great for a couple and there is an extra bed if you are travelling with a child or a third person. We are a British/Croatian family living in Sutivan and have created this studio apartment in our loft for visiting family so we think it is nice and homely. It has a separate entrance through our beautiful 'British style' regenerative garden, its own terrace and a well-equipped kitchen so you can make this your home from home. The feel of the apartment has an element of rustic charm, it was all built by ourselves and we used up-cycled wood (where possible), natural highly rated AAA insulation and other natural and local materials where possible to be kind to the environment. The property is also one of the few properties on the whole of Brač with solar panels, feeding electricity back to the grid and we compost within our garden to feed our growing garden with plenty of citrus fruits, pomegranate trees and our vegetable garden where we grow tomatoes, courgettes, basil, peppers, cucumbers and plenty of local herbs. We are also triple glazed throughout, with mosquito nets, to make sure the property is efficiently protected from the outdoors. There are also plenty of shaded nooks around the terraced garden so you can sit an admire the super green surroundings and beautiful plants, depending what you feel like doing. Parking is not available at the property for guest unfortunately, but it is located 3 minutes walk away and can be free, or there is a paid for parking area which serves the village. There is plenty of secure space for cycles and motorcycles. The nearest beach is through the cobbled back streets, travelling past big old stone Dalmatian buildings, with plenty of shade down to the seafront. The walk to the beach, the nearest bars, restaurants and coffee shops is 3-4 minutes away. Only 45 seconds if you run!

Ivanka and Nick have been living on the island for about 5 years and we are huge travellers ourselves so we enjoy meeting our guests. We have 2 dogs and a child who live in different part of the grounds and we are very happy to show you our favourite parts of the island depending on what you are looking for. We are active most days as we enjoy walking our dogs, swimming, kayaking and cycling. We also enjoy village life and sitting at the marina and watching the sun going down. We look forward to meeting you.

We live in a quiet traditional Dalmatian seafront village, very close to the village centre. From our property you can see the old stone houses which are typical of the area, you can also see the mountains on the mainland from our terrace. There is a fruit and vegetable market during the summer which is 1 minute walk away. Here you can get fresh vegetables and occasionally gifts. Fish is available twice weekly depending on what the local fishermen catch.
