About this cottage rental
" Oh La La!" House full of character. This house is different!A special, wonder - full, detached self catering house is located slightly uphill which ensures such an ENCHANTING OPEN VIEW of the sea and archipelago that the most stunning view on the island is guaranteed!
Tucked away from the main place in the LARGE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN, protected from the all-night noise that comes from the bars in center makes this house a kind of an ISOLATED RETREAT which ensures SERENITY and COMPLETE PRIVACY. Yet the location of the house is close enough to let you get anywhere ( to the center of the town, beaches, ferry port etc.) WITHIN MINUTES ON FOOT.
The plot around the house is 1300 sq.m. large and therefore isolated from the sights or sounds of neighbors.
It's surrounded by a LARGE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN with different kinds of trees, herbs and fresh, fragrant spices which invite you to pick them and put into dish directly.
This property consists of SEVERAL SEPARATE BUILDINGS and terraces linked into a whole as a unique architectural solution that reminiscent of a small hacienda which is dominated by Dalmatian stone in a green environment.
The MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE ( 50 square meters) consists of two bedrooms, sitting/living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom.
The third beroom, located in a separate small building next to the main house is equipped with toilet and outdoor shower.The set-up of separate (from the main house) bedroom and bathroom means that if two small families or couples are holidaying together and they want a bit of space and privacy this is ideal.
A few steps from the house and terrace there are following SEPARATE BUILDINGS:
SUMMER KITCHEN , ANOTHER BEDROOM located in a separate small stone building next to a TOILET with washing machine and an OUTDOOR SHOWER which offers you breathtaking sea view. Also there is a big BBQ area equipped with an outdoor stone sink.
Beside a small kitchen inside the house, a really pretty and fully equipped SUMMER KITCHEN which is located in a separate stone building next to the house, features a large window overlooking the main terrace and the sea.
The house is especially proud of its 100 sq.m. LARGE TERRACES which offer an astonishing open view of the sea and the surrounding islands. One of the roofed part of the terraces features a long table that sits up to ten people.
The ceilings are high (2.2 to 3.5 m) asymmetrically vaulted, decorated with wooden beams and equipped with large ceiling fans, for those who do not prefer air conditioner. Air conditioner has a strong heating as well.
In addition, the house is equipped with all modern amenities which makes it quite luxurious!
OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE there are: a large Mediterranean garden, a few stone terraces and a balcony, stone sink and a big BBQ area just in front of the summer kitchen, an outdoor shower with stunning view, outdoor furniture ( a big table and chairs for ten), 4 deck chairs, 4 portable sun loungers.
You can see the sea almost from everywhere, regardless of whether you are in a living room, kitchen, one of the terraces, even under the shower!
AVAILABILITY and SUITABILITY:
This house sleeps up to 8 people comfortably ( i.e. 6+2 which means it sleeps 8 people if there are at least 2 children in your group). It sleeps 8 adults also, but a bit less comfortably.
This house is AVAILABLE ALL YEAR ROUND although IN THE WINTER MONTHS is appropriate for smaller number of people ( up to 4). This is because the summer kitchen is usually cold in winter and cooking in a small kitchen within the house is not suitable for more than 4 people. Also, an outdoor shower is in use during the warm months only, so that in the winter months there is only one bathroom in the house at your disposal.
This lovely house is a perfect choice for families with children, couples, groups of friends, pet owners, nature and long walks lovers, foodies and people who know how to enjoy the island atmosphere where friendship is easy to establish. Also, for all those who wish a great escape into pure ecological and tranquil zone very close to the city centers!

Warm recommendation: renting KAYAK (with instructor) in the center of Zlarin
There is a new playground for the very young children in the center of the town.
You will find there two fruit and vegetable stall and a fresh fish stall in the summr months.A doctor holds a medical clinic in the center of the town and is available in the morning hours of the working week.
Island Zlarin is an ideal destination if you are looking for quiet, unspoilt nature, crystal blue sea, clean air, beautiful pine forests, a charming experience of an idyllic Dalmatian island.
Zlarin is called island of corals, the green island or the golden island due to the large number of sunny days a year. This serene island is a hidden peace of paradise that leaves no one unimpressed!
It is therefore no wonder that there is evidence of life on Zlarin since prehistory, from Neolithic times to Roman ages. On the island there are historical monuments from 17th century.
This true ecological oasis is located at the central point of the Adriatic coast, very close to the city of Sibenik - 3,5 nautical miles (7 km approx.) or 25 minutes by the regular ferry service.
The island of Zlarin is one of the rare Adriatic islands that do not allow cars which gives it a special charm!
As Zlarin is a traffic free island, you need to leave your car in Sibenik, if coming by the car. We would kindly organize safe parking for you.
You won't miss your car while you are in Zlarin! Given the small size of this traffic free place, all major destinations such as store, post office, restaurants, cafes, beaches etc., are less than 10 minutes of a pleasant walk.
This gorgeous island is famous for its long tradition of red coral mining.
Zlarin is not only the gift of nature, but also an island of great fun in a summer time when Zlarin hosts numerous fun and cultural events of all kinds.You will also love sitting in one of the bars or restaurants near the sea and enjoy the atmosphere of this vivacious island town!
COAST AND BEACHES:
On Zlarin, you will find all kind of beaches: unspoiled natural beaches, partly sandy, pebble and rocky, beaches for children of all ages and secluded, hidden bathing spots.
Crystal clean water (even in the port itself!) invites you to swim endlessly!Both you and your kids will enjoy the safety of the beaches. The sea has virtually no current and is startlingly clean.
The nearest beach is 10 minutes walk from the house. Since Zlarin is very relaxed place, you can also walk to the beach dressed only in your bathing costume!
Long walking paths by the sea extend all over the entire length of the bay will inspire you for a long walks. The forest trails surrounded by beautiful vistas across the olive groves, vines, fields of figs trees and Mediterranean plants will also attract you to take long walks or bike rides.

Thank you so much to Dasha for being an amazing host, and for opening her incredible home to us to enjoy! Zlarin is a beautiful island, and we could have easily spent all our time immersing ourselves in the trails, beaches, and local restaurants. We had planned several day trips, so we alternated between “island days” and “exploring days”; we enjoyed all of our trips ashore, but every time we returned to the island it felt like going home. The home itself invites you to enjoy the outdoor living area overlooking the harbor. The patio is shaded by grape vines and surrounded by olive trees, lavender, and other herbs. As beautiful as the pictures are, the reality is even more stunning.

Great property, beautiful island, fantastic host
We had a fantastic week in Zlarin with 3 teenage children.
Zlarin is a beautiful, quiet, relaxed island. We loved spending time in the town, eating at one of the lovely restaurants, jumping in the sea from the harbour jetty where the water is spotlessly clean and generally enjoying the lively atmosphere.
The property itself is on the edge of the town with beautiful sea views. It is very well equipped and is wonderful place to relax. It has a fantastic summer kitchen, which almost makes you want to cook and the best outdoor shower with fantastic sea views.
Dasha is the best host and goes above and beyond to make sure your holiday goes smoothly from the time of booking through to the end of the holiday.
We cannot recommend this property enough for people wanting a relaxing yet memorable holiday.

Fantastic holiday!!
We enjoyed every minute of our stay at OhLaLa house, owned by the lovely Dasha, who couldn't have been kinder or more helpful throughout. The house is set high up so the views are stunning, especially from the outside kitchen! The house has been well equipped and you have everything you need (including air condition). There are no cars on the island so it is also very quiet. Bikes were available for use but you need to be an experienced mountain biker if you want to follow the suggested paths (the paths also make for good walks).
Zlarin is a peaceful, family friendly and relaxing location. There are several restaurants along the harbour but the gem is a short walk away from the house - Konoba Prslika. Delicious, seasonal food and the nicest hosts. Swimming and snorkelling is great as the water is so clear - lovely to hire kayaks to see around the island.
There is a small supermarket on the island but make sure you stock up on the mainland. There is also a fruit stall near the only hotel but they are not there every day.
A great stay, with great house courtesy of Dasha.

Die Lage des Hauses ist einzigartig und würde in einem anderen Land sicher unbezahlbar sein - der Blick ist wie auf den Bildern zu sehen, in Echt sogar noch traumhafter! Das Haus ist sehr sauber, liebevoll eingerichtet, es ist ruhig und es fehlt einem an nichts. Es fühlt sich direkt an, als wäre es das eigene Ferienhaus. Die kleine Insel, auf der keine Autos fahren dürfen, ist noch nicht so vom Tourismus geprägt, wie andere Teile des Landes - genau das wissen wir zu schätzen. Trotzdem ist es nicht verschlafen, in der Hauptsaison gibt es stilvolle Veranstaltungen und auch in der Nebensaison fehlt es einem an nichts. Verschiedene Restaurants, alle auf einem sehr hohen Niveau, keine Touristenfallen, Bar und Cafés. Alles, für unser Verständnis, noch sehr Original. Man braucht sich um nichts sorgen, bekommt - wenn man möchte - jeden Wunsch von der Vermieterin erfüllt und es fehlt einem an nichts für einen unvergesslich schönen Urlaub! Absolute Empfehlung.

House with an amazing view
House full of Character was wonderful; the photographs did no do justice to the magnificent setting we saw on the island.This is a place for total relaxation and peace; it has all the comforts of home. We love cooking in the outdoor kitchen, lounging on the patio, watching the wind blow through the olive trees and sailboats in the distance. The small village has the atmosphere of old Europe with easy access to fresh organic food, wine and restaurants. There were many paths for hiking and biking with stunning views around every corner. Swimming in the deep blue Adriatic was a favorite activity. During our 10-day stay we meet many friendly and helpful people and felt at home. Our hostess, Dasha, was extremely helpful with all aspects of our trip planning and with our stay on the island. She welcomed us with a Grappa toast and was always available to answer questions. We left having a new friend in Dasha and look forward to returning soon.

Wir hatten ja bereits die Bilder des Hauses und des Grundstücks im Internet gesehen. Als wir aber dann auf der mehr als großzügigen Terrasse ankamen, waren wir doch überrascht, und so richtig sprachlos wurden wir, nachdem unser Gepäck ausgepackt und wir in alles eingewiesen worden waren: Wenn man, so wie wir, wirklich Urlaub im Sinne von Erholung braucht, dann gibt es wohl weniger Orte, die besser geeignet wären, als Dashas Haus. Alles ist freundlich und sauber, nie aber kühl oder steril. Das Haus ist mit viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet, gemütlich und doch großzügig, die Außenküche ist ein wahrgewordener Traum, die Außenanlage mit Kräutern, Bäumen, Natursteinterrassen und -mauern weitläufig und sehr geschmackvoll. Ungestört und unbeobachtet duschen mit Blick über Meer und Inseln - wo kann man das schon? Die rieseige Hängematte wurde von unseren Kindern zum Ruhen und Schmökern in Beschlag genommen, am schweren Holztisch draußen saßen wir oft bis spät abends bei einem Glas Wein und schauten dem Sonnenuntergang und dem Aufglimmen der Lichter im Hafen und am Festland zu, und wir tanzten ganz privat zur Musik eines Livekonzerts im Hafen auf der großen Terrasse. Dashas Haus und Grundstück ist durch zwei kleine Fußwege erreichbar - aber nicht einsehbar. Auch akustisch hat man hier wirklich seine Ruhe. Die Ausstattung ist bestens, es gibt fast alles: diverse Reiseführer und Informationsmaterial, Heftpflaster, Schreibzeug, Gewürze in der Küche, sogar eine Crepepfanne!Dasha hat uns nicht nur vor Ort sehr freundlich willkommen geheißen, sie hat eigentlich unsere komplette Reise organisiert, was durch kurzfristige Terminverschiebungen unsererseits wirklich nicht leicht war. Wir mussten uns weder um einen Parkplatz für unseren Wagen, noch um Überfahrt oder unser Gepäck kümmern - und das gilt für An- wie für Abreise. Dasha war immer erreichbar und bei wäre bei Schwierigkeiten sicher leicht greifbar gewesen - wenn wir denn welche gehabt hätten. Tipps für Lokale oder Ausflüge? Einfach Dasha fragen. Besonders glücklich waren wir darüber, wie liebevoll sie auch unseren großen Hund aufgenommen hat. Das Haus eignete sich für uns (2 Erwachsene, 4 Kinder, 1 Hund), hatte aber so viel Platz, dass zusätzlich eine Kleinfamilie mit uns hätte Urlaub machen können, ohne dass wir uns gegenseitig auf die Nerven hätten gehen können. Wir haben das Haus bereits in unserem Freundes- und Bekanntenkreis weiterempfohlen. Wir haben uns noch nie so gut erholt wie hier.

Beautiful villa, stunning views
From the moment we booked Dasha's place I knew we had made the right decision. She was so helpful, arranging a boat for us and sending us all the information we needed about the local area. The photos cannot possibly do justice to the amazing view that you wake up to every morning. It is simply stunning. There is everything you need on the Island - 4 restaurants, 3 bars, small supermarket, tourist information. The villa itself is full of character. The gardens are very well stocked with figs and grapes (which we picked and ate) and we enjoyed chilling on the terrace. We cooked a couple of meals in the very sociable outside kitchen. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning is very good. There are plenty of spots for swimming and sunbathing and the sea is beautiful and clear on Zlarin. We used the bikes or walked to restaurants/shop/bars - everything was very accessible. We hired a boat for a few days and visited other bays around the island of Zlarin and also another island, Prtvic which was only 30 mins away. The ferries are very good and cheap and we went to Sibenik (very attractive old town) and Vodice (worth a visit but not as nice) for the day. We also spent a day in Zadar which was a great city. All, in all, we (family of 5 with an 18 year old and two young people in their 20s) had a brilliant time - lots to do but also the possibility to completely relax. The island feels very safe. The set-up of separate (from the main house) bedroom and bathroom means that if two small families or couples are holidaying together and they want a bit of space and privacy this is ideal. I really can't fault this villa. We usually rent places with a pool but none of us missed not having one. Zlarin, Sibenik and surrounding area are mostly unspoilt by tourism and Dasha is the perfect host -a lovely lady who speaks perfect English and who takes great pride in making your visit perfect. What more can you ask for!! We will be back.

A real "home" with a magnificent view!!
This holiday house was an ideal place for us (2 adults and 4 teenagers) and I recommend it to everyone who wants to experience a wonderful mixture of comfort, beautiful views, on an authentic and lively island away from big tourism and yet offering plenty of possible activities for the whole family! Our host, Dasha, supported us in every way she could to make this holiday successful. We all enjoyed it very much!!

Such a magic place that we come back!
Another lovely time in Oh La La house. The house is wonderful and more than very well equipped. Dasha was a fantastic host and was keen to ensure our comfort. Zlarin is the best place to relax, especially in June. Excellent and safe place for children too! Hope to come back again :)

Secluded paradise where we are going to come back!
Period of two weeks of our stay in this amazing house on Zlarin in May flew so quickly!
The truly unique experience in this superb house that feels like a home! Luxury corner in a hidden place only a few minutes' walk away from picturesque, lively small town and various beaches for every taste! The house itself is thought-out and well equipped. It is easy to notice that owners have built it with a lots of love, great taste and sense of practicality which makes the house so cozy! The true attraction is a magnificent view of the sea! One of two kitchens is the most inspiring place for cooking we could imagine! Zlarin is located in pure ecological zone where your car is not needed, close to Sibenik! Dasha is perfect host! For those looking for atmosphere, relaxation and serenity, this is the place!It is not easy to find such a perfect place which is not marked by mass tourism! Highly recommended!
This place is ideal for children! Parents can be absolutely relaxed because the island is completely tame and safe! Nearby Zlarin you can find a whole range of sporting activities on the water and a kayak rental service.The offer of the restaurant is excellent, and the prices affordable. The island offers beautiful trails for hiking or biking and crystal clear sea!

One of the best holidays ever!
We were long looking for an ideal spot to spend our holidays this year. Finally when we got in touch with the owner Dasha we still weren't sure whether it's a good place for families with kids. Our doubts didn't last long, Dasha made sure that we were fully informed even about tinest details. Prior to our arrival we have received all guides instructions etc. All exceeded our expectations. Ferry timetables, car parking transfer to the house all was buttoned up.
All of us don't particularly like loud touristic destinations with posh restaurants and overcrouded beaches. It's quite tough to find peacefull places at a reasonable cost. Well, it all happened to be true. When we arrived at the house we couln't believe what we sea. Astonishing view from the garden, Within reach there are fruit trees with lemons, almonds trees, palms, figs and oranges. Plenty of herbs all around, frech basil, mint and rosmary. The kitchen Oh how could I forget!! - this kitches is something one of a kind. Actually a heart of the place. You spend there mornings dinners and long long evenings with a view over clear sky. All is perfectly furnished and quite tastefully actually. There is a specious living room, small indoors kitchen and bathroom good size one. Whats important is that all necessary kitchen equipment is there so there is no need to carry much with you. Plus should you need anything else there is a small shop by the harbour just 10 mins walk from the house. Ah and the smell of the trees in the nearby wood!? it's a must visit place.
what to do? first enjoy yourself at the house, then eat lovely food at nearby restaurant - prices are reasonable so no worries about expenses. Local bars are there - in fact 2..or 3:) which is cool.. all locals knows you after few days and all are soooooo welcoming and charming. The best beach is behind tiny beach bar on the far right of the sea cost when you reach Jeż - hehe, it's the fist stop when you arrive and if thursty have Ożujsko first. ah and you must try Travarica.. there is a post office should you need currency exchange and little playground for the kids by the post office. We even took bicycles from Dasha the owner and made some Island sightseeing. If you are in a need of fresh food no worries just get the morning ferry to Sibenik and in 20 mins you are able to get hold of the of the best Crotian stuff ever, wine, cheese, seafood, fruits, meat.. all, all is there. Anyways! a book good be written! best holiday ever!!!

Fühlt sich an, wie nach Hause kommen
Nach langer Vorfreude und engem Mailkontakt mit Dasha, die sich um jede Anfrage unsererseits fürsorglich gekümmert hat, konnten wir am 17. September endlich unseren Urlaub antreten. Um auf die Insel zu gelangen, muss man die Fähre nehmen - das Auto wurde kostengünstig, unkompliziert und sicher bei einer Freundin der Gastgeber abgestellt. Angekommen wurden wir so warmherzig von Dasha begrüßt, als würden wir uns schon ewig kennen. Es war direkt ein Gefühl von "Nach Hause kommen". Auch als wir dann das Haus erreichten, schlich sich ein herzerwärmendes Gefühl ein. Von der ersten Sekunde fühlten wir, dass wir angekommen waren und wir keinerlei Probleme haben werden die nächsten 14 Nächte in diesem wunderbaren Haus und Garten zu verbringen.
Die Unterkunft ist genau wie beschrieben und abgebildet - für mich in echt sogar noch schöner. Die Küche hält alles bereit, was man braucht, auch im Garten finden sich allerhand Kräuter frisch zu selbstpflücken, ebenso einige Früchte.
Die Austattung des ganzen Hauses ist sehr hochwertig und geschmackvoll, sogar das Internet ist sehr schnell. Es ist wirklich alles da, was man braucht.
Auch wenn wir außerhalb der Hauptsaison gereist sind, waren alle Cafés und Restaurants auf der Insel geöffnet. Auf der Insel gibt es also keine Chance auf Langeweile, da auch die Natur reichlich zu bieten hat. Mehr braucht es doch für einen perfekten entspannten Urlaub nicht.
Während unseren Aufenthalts ließ Dasha uns unsere Privatsphäre, aber sobald wir nur eine Frage hatten, war sie direkt für uns da.
Alles in allem war es der schönste Urlaub, den wir bisher erlebt haben. Kroatien - und vor allen Dingen die kleine Insel Zlarin - hat uns direkt um den Finger gewickelt. Die zwei Wochen sind verflogen und wir freuen uns jetzt schon darauf, dass wir nächstes Jahr auch wieder dort Urlaub machen werden.
Ich würde diese Unterkunft jedem empfehlen, denn sie lebt nicht nur von der geschmackvollen Einrichtung, dem atemberaubenden Ausblick, der hochwertigen Austattung, sondern auch von der ehrlichen Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber.

Wonderful house, stunning views & welcoming hosts
We spent a fabulous week in Oo La La House and wished we could have stayed longer. The house has everything you will need on this beautiful, small and unspoiled island and should you possibly need anything more, Dasha will do her utmost to provide it!
I do not believe you will find more welcoming and friendly owners who will guide you with info on the island, its history and its situation.
There are a good selection of restaurants (and bars) to choose from, each serving good quality food and the Croatian wines are a must, a shame they are almost impossible to find in the UK.
If you want to island hop, the ferry service is regular, punctual and cheap and is a great way to see more of the area.
We simply cannot recommend this house highly enough. The view from the terrace is amazing and the outdoor kitchen wonderful.
Dasha and her husband Anton are the most delightful and helpful hosts and ensured that our stay was both comfortable and memorable.

Best view on the Island!
If you’re looking for a peaceful, relaxing holiday on an idyllic island, this house is ideal.
You could spend most of the time in the amazing outdoor kitchen and terrace area, taking in the view of the Islands and harbour. There’s a well equipped kitchen, bbq and grill and while it’s good to stock up on food supplies on the mainland, there’s a small shop in town which covers necessities.
There are good restaurants nearby, the best is only down the path, just remember to take the torches provided for night-time returns!
The house is comfortable, modern and not overlooked by other homes.
The owners go out of their way to ensure you have the best possible stay and are incredibly welcoming and warm.

Holidays to remember!
If you search for peace and nature go to O-La-La-house to Zlarin.
You will spend unforgettable holidays: beautiful house where all you
need is there and more. Very nice hospitality of the owner and very
friendly locals.
If possible we will return to O-La-La-house.
Thank you Daša.

PERFECT vacation spot
PERFECT vacation spot if nature, peace and great food is what matters
to you during holidays! There are no accurate words to describe how
great it was!! House is well-planned and truly comfortable. You may
notice easily, that owners have put their heart in its interiors.
Accommodation - very comfortable for 2 couples like us (2 bedrooms, 2
bathrooms - one outside of the house, with an outstanding view from
the shower), however families with kids would also have enough space.
Location is little up the hill but we considered it as an advantage
(quiet neighborhood, perfect view). It's a 7 minutes walk to get down
to the harbour, market and shops. Most of the time we used bikes - 3
min. of a ride. Listing was very accurate, communication with Danica
fast and easy-going , cleanliness of the house just like it's supposed
to be, good quality of facilities in the house, electric grill,
bikes....anything you need! Danica and her husband were very helpfull
and really cared about us. We truly recommend the house and the
island!

Was für ein bezaubernder Ort zum Ferienmachen!
Zlarin ist eine bezaubernde Insel, man kann dort wunderbar zur Ruhe
kommen. Das Haus liegt etwas oberhalb des Hafens und man hat einen
fantastischen Blick aufs Meer. Besonders reizvoll ist die Aussenküche,
bei schönem Wetter findet das Leben auf der großzügigen Terasse statt.
Im Garten wachsen verschiedene Kräuter, Oliven, Zitronen und
Feigenbäume. Mit den vorhandenen Rädern kann man gut Besorgungen
erledigen oder rund um die Insel fahren. Die Atmosphäre des Hauses ist
sehr gemütlich und wir haben uns sofort wohlgefühlt. Besonders nett
war der herzliche Kontakt mit Dasha der Vermieterin des Hauses, die
uns in allen Lebenslagen unterstützt hat. Wer Ruhe, Erholung und Natur
sucht, wird sich hier wohl fühlen.
Unsere Familie verbrachte 2 wunderschöne Wochen dort und wir kommen gerne wieder.

A little piece of heaven on earth
We simply loved staying at this beautiful house. The view is stunning, with a wonderful kitchen right on the terrace so you can cook and dine as you watch the sun go down. The house is very comfortable and cosy and it is set back a bit, up the hill. This gives you a 5 min walk down into the village / to the beach but it is well worth it for the view, the peace and privacy. Dasha is also a wonderful host and was incredibly helpful and attentive, providing bikes for the kids and great tips on boat hire, where to visit and where to eat. We love Zlarin and we love this house. We would return in a heartbeat. Thank you Dasha!

Island in the sun
We had the most wonderful holiday here in Zlarin. The island fulfilled all of our expectations of a calm, easy-going place surrounded by the pristine nature and yet a stone throw away from the cultural and historic gem of town of Sibenik.
The house is one of those places that look even better in nature, a perfect place for what I wanted for our holiday. Tucked away from the main place in the green Mediterranean garden, with stunning views of the archipelago. The set-up of the house was just right - an open summer kitchen and a large shaded terrace were perfect for spending the day around the house, sun deck and an open shower with the best view on the island were amazing. The house was spacious for us ( a family of four) however when our friends arrived for a visit there was unexpected capacity and flexibility to accommodate two more people.
The best thing about the place was that it came completely equipped with whatever you need when you arrive - as if you have arrived to a friends home. No need of immediate running to the shop for dishwashing staff, bin liners or napkins. Everything was in place from oil to spices. Dasha takes a really good care of her house and her guests and has great attention to detail. She will organise everything you need to feel comfortable in the house from the transport of the baggages to the house from the harbour, delivery of fresh fruits and veggies from the eco farm, to delivery of the grocery shopping for a very reasonable fee.
I could not recommend this place more strongly and am looking forward to our next stay there.

Excellent vacation on Zlarin!”
This summer we spent a wonderful family holiday in House O la la in Zlarin that conjure up beautiful days on Zlarin, as the location itself on the Zlarin and also the layout of the house and premises on the site creates a wonderful ambience to spend our vacation. The greater part of the day we spent on the terrace, where we enjoy the silence and the beautiful weather and scenery of the sea and islands in the vicinity. Given the fact that we have never been on Zlarin we enjoy on the island, where no crowds of tourists were present, we could enjoyed the friendliness of the locals and good food in local restaurants. We recommend House O la, la on Zlarin to anyone who search quiet summer evening and beautiful sunsets on the terrace. At the same time we would like to thank Mrs. Daša, which owns the house, because she was very nice and prepared a list of all information’s needed for travel to Zlarin, informations for life on Zlarin and also organized all logistic needs (the organization of parking in Sibenik, to transport luggage to the same house). House O la la was built by Daša and her family and inside you have all you needed for cooking, pleasure and enjoyment – thank you Daša. I hope we see you back on Zlarin.

“Yes it is: Oh la la!”
Nach 3 Wochen Reisen in Kroatien können wir eindeutig sagen, dies war der schönste Ort. Gerade wer es etwas weniger touristisch mag ist hier goldrichtig. Die Insel ist sehr klein, doch hat einiges zu bieten. Und nun zum Haus: einfach alles perfekt, wirklich traumhafte Lage mit toller Aussicht und sehr schönen Sonnenuntergänge. Am Abend eine erfrischende Openair Dusche, Kochen in der Sommerküche oder ein Glas Wein unter der Pergola.. Alles wird hier zum Erlebnis!
Vielen Dank auch Dasha für die perfekte Organisation und die Informationen und Tipps.
Wir freuen uns schon auf das nächste mal.

We had an extremely beautiful time on the Island Zlarin and enjoyed swimming in the warm sea (in October!), going for walks around the island, and watching the atmosphere in the picturesque town. The house is only a few walking minutes away from the centre and the sea, so everything you need is in good reach. It has a beautiful patio and garden, which offers complete privacy for sun-bathing, reading, dining or enjoying the marvellous views out on the sea. Dasha is a very welcoming and friendly host, and she was extremely helpful at making our stay very comfortable and pleasant indeed!

Dasha's house is part of the village of Zlarin Island, on a hillside looking out over the town and harbour with a spectacular view. The house is a lovely short walk, close to the village centre. The open summer kitchen and dining area outside was a special feature. We absolutely loved it and our host Dasha was very helpful, responsive and kind. We enjoyed living among the local people and drinking their local wine. Dasha managed all the logistics of getting us over to the island and to her lovely house exceedingly well.

Excellent position for relaxing holidays. Astonishing sunsets, amazing summer kitchen and absolutely friendly owner of the house. Dogs friendly, very good hiking and cycling in the surrounding. Recommended for families and for couples who need privacy. Just a short walk away from Zlarin centre, where some good restaurants could be found
