DESCRIPTION:
All rooms are bright and sunny, with French doors that open onto a private, generously proportioned balcony/terrace overlooking the sea and hillside. The backyard contains a spacious patio with a gazebo/pavilion, a summer kitchen, an open shower, a big barbeque and a lush garden with Mediterranean herbs and a swimming pool.
The patio is shaded by the wine tree where in the late September hang juicy red grapes. This is a delightful spot for enjoying the morning cappuccino, lunch or dinner. The barbecue area is stocked with firewood (a traditional stone hearth with peka - a cast-iron dome placed over coals).
The six-meters long heated swimming pool will bring most joy to your children. It contains underwater lights, hydromassage, volley net, water-polo goal, balls and air-mattresses.
The swimming pool is located in the garden, lined with lavender shrubs and canopied by olive branches. It is accompanied by deck-chairs, beach umbrellas and a sun shower.

We enjoyed our stay during off season. The island was quiet and lovely.

Lovely property in Kaprije that suited us all. Good facilities, within walking distance of amenities. Amazing food and friendly local people.

We were all drawn to the ideal of a quiet relaxing family holiday, on an island, with no cars, but a little daunted about whether there would be enough to do, enough choice of food, enough space. None of these were a problem. From start to finish, we had a glorious time on Kaprije, and would recommend the apartments and the island.
Our journey to the island was considerably easier than it might have been under our own steam; we took advantage of the travel options offered by Kristian and Jagoda. Leave Split airport by car (with supermarket stop) then sailed to Kaprije on Kristian’s boat for an hour.
The apartments are both excellent. Fully equipped with everything you could want. Kristian has thought of everything - we were pleased with the water coolers in each apartment. The kitchens are well laid out. Every bedroom has a balcony with differing views, sea or pool, all delightful.
There were seven of us in the two apartments and there was more than enough space for everyone. There are hammocks where the girls spent lazy afternoons reading, gently swinging; plenty of loungers, around the pool and at the sea; a table for 14 by the grapevine; a summer kitchen, useful as the apartments do not get hot if the oven is used, comfortable beds.
The island has one bakery and one shop and between the two you can do pretty well for provisions. The ferries come in four times a day and so the shop is regularly topped up with fruit and veg. Kristian also will bring more hard to find items from the mainland. There are a good selection of restaurants - Kod Kate (great food, very fresh, more pricey than some), Šampjer (delicious steaks, black risotto, great fish and perfect vantage point for the sunset), Neptun for pizzas and ice cream. The village can be really buzzy at night with plenty of family activities, can also be sleepily quiet in the day.
The island is beautiful. Blues and greens. The sea is so clean, aquamarine and emerald, breathtaking. We took two trips on Kristian’s boat, one to different islands and their beaches, the other to Šibenik (a fascinating city, winding streets, quite Venetian, try She restaurant for a vegetarian treat). Both trips highly recommended.
Kristian is a very kind and helpful host, he was attentive to our needs, whilst giving us privacy and space, very good at keeping in touch, going the extra mile to make the holiday comfortable and enjoyable.
I would thoroughly recommend Apartments Mediterraneo.
5.0
We very much enjoyed our stay in this fantastic villa on the beautiful island of Kaprije. We were lucky enough to have warm, sunny weather for the full duration of our stay. The villa was spacious and very well-equipped inside but it was the outside area where it was truly exceptional. The swimming pool was ideal in the heat and the patio area was a great place to spend the evenings. I particularly liked the hammocks and the sound system. The bikes were very useful in exploring the island or making a quick trip into town. Our hosts were very accommodating and were happy to help where possible to make sure that our stay was a good one. It was much appreciated.
The island itself is quiet and the lack of cars makes everything seem more laid back. The one shop provides all the basic provisions you are likely to need and, although some of the restaurants were closed when we visited, we could still find some top quality food. I particularly recommend dining at Kod Kate.
This is a special place and hopefully, I will return one day.

The moment you arrive on Kaprije, the trials and tribulations of everyday life are spirited away as you become immersed in the gentle rhythms of the island. The days are troubled by little more than having to decide whether to swim in the crystal clear waters of the bay or take a dip in the apartment’s tranquil pool, surrounded by the gentle hum of crickets and the scent of herbs from the pretty and well maintained garden. The apartment itself is a real treat, comfortable and homely with all the facilities you could need, plus little extras, such as the summer kitchen and patio area and hammocks slung here and there all perfectly placed for a snooze in the shade.
Our host, Kristian was welcoming and accommodating. He can facilitate anything from transport to arranging trips to the nearby island, made all the nicer because his whole family is involved in making your stay as perfect and hassle free as possible. The welcome meal was an unexpected treat; a delicious, leisurely meal prepared by Kristian’s sister, Iva where drink flowed as freely as the conversation. That personal touch made it really special-such a lovely way to start our stay.
Where to eat was also one of the most pressing decisions that needed to be made. The cooking facilities in the apartment are very good and there is a barbecue outside but the limited availability of fresh produce from the one little shop on the island meant that eating out in the evening was our favoured option and for such a tiny place, there is a lot of choice. Our favourite restaurant was the third one along (Buffet Kaprije)-we called it the Grappa Restaurant because of the complimentary bottle you received at the end of every meal. The fish and meat was grilled outside and there was often a pig being roasted. The service was great and so friendly and the food inexpensive, simple and just delicious.
Our days on the island were filled with very simple pleasures which you sometimes forget or fail to prioritise in the hurly burly of everyday life: reading; exploring the island; swimming; lazing; eating good food and passing time with people you love. It was very difficult to leave Kaprije but when I am at home and life starts to be stressful, I can close my eyes, recall the clear waters, the lapping of the sea and the feeling of the sun on my face and remember what is important.
