It's hard to know where to start, but having had very many summer/beach holidays over the years, Kolocep and our apartment are the epitome of perfection in my book.
Antonela and her mother are perfect hosts and did everything to make our stay comfortable and welcome, without being intrusive. The position, directly on the rocky beach - and the jetty - was marvellous, and I can only reiterate other comments from those who've stayed before us. It was sublime!
The small grocery shop, which has been there for very many years, supplies most essentials - apart from fresh meat - but we managed well on lots of rice and vegetables as well as making several trips to Konzum at Dubrovnik port (a large supermarket).
The apartment is without a sitting room but the huge shared terrace directly outside our front door was ideal for relaxation - with views of the bay and gardens below - however one of the bedrooms can easily double as a sitting room if the weather turns.
Stari Miri , the restaurant by the port, and Nic's bar next to it are the island 'hot spots' and a very sociable crowd too. In fact all the locals we met and managed to converse with were friendly and generous. We were invited to an impromptu feast of local mussels at Nic's by one of the locals and learned more about the history of the island.
I really can't overstate just how wonderful and peaceful we found our holiday to be and certainly we'll be back. I did not want to leave in the first place.
Thank you Antonela and Nina.
