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!


SOMETHING ABOUT ISLAND ZLARIN:

In Zlarin you will find: a store which sells all the basic food, grocery and hygienic supplies, bakery, ATM/ cash machine, tourist office, one hotel, several restaurants and bars, a post office, three souvenir shops that offer coral jewelry.
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
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!!
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 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.
