Great spot by beach to explore Split and coast

This is a little gem located just outside Split in beach town of Podstrana. Staff all very friendly especially Ivana who checked me in so quickly and had helpful advise. Had Room 4 on the 3rd floor which was basic double bed room with small balcony. It was spotless clean with white walls and ceiling making it very bright. Modern bathroom, mini refrigerator and kettle. The view was of the mountains and a little of the sea. Very quiet. Free beach towels, lounge chairs and umbrellas. Beach (small stones) is only 2 minute walk on pathway past other hotel. There are 2 restaurants and a beach bar right on either side. Facing west for sunset. Across the road is a bakery (great pizza slices) and a mini grocery. Local bus (13kn) to Split right by hotel (every 30 minutes). Used as a base to go on day trips to Islands, Krka National Park and Omis. So nice to come back and relax by beach. Well run property where you feel at home!

Lovely bright, clean modern apartments 30 seconds from the beach, with free sun beds and beach towels for Villa Pinocchio guests which was a nice touch. Our room was very spacious with brand new bathroom and a bright airy bedroom, which was cleaned daily with fresh towels everyday. The apartments are ideally situated between Split town and Omis and a regular bus stops almost outside the apartments. There is a bakery and supermarket 1 minute walk away and several restaurants and bars also within a 1 - 2 minute walk. The apartment owner (Zlatko) was so welcoming and helpful and also organised our airport transfers. I would highly recommend Villa Pinocchio for your trip, Podstrana is a beautiful quiet resort within easy reach of livelier Split town and Omis, ideally suited for couples and families and we thought it was the ideal base for week's stay.

Podstrana - great base for first visit to Croatia

Good value for money. Comfortable bed and not noisey of a night made for good nights sleep. Good location for us with beach 30 seconds away and good inexpensive bus service every 30 mins to Split (20 mins) and Omis (25 mins). Really enjoyed our week, including rafting at Omis, ferry over to Brac/Bol and enjoyed all Split has to offer. Friendly service and would recommend.

Great hotel, close to the beach and restaurants

Having left a cold and miserable UK behind and arrived in Croatia, the temperature difference was very noticible. What a blessing it was that Villa Pinocchio was naturally cool and very pleasant when relaxing. The staff speak good English, though rarely seen. To be honest I only saw the main staff once on the day we arrived... even over 4 days of staying there Lol. They were very helpful and the breakfast available is continental and satisfying. They even offer use of their coffee machine for free. The rooms are spacious and ensuite and have a balcony. We were lucky to get a sea view one. The bed was very comfy and the shower easy to operate. The beach is about a 45 second walk from the villa. It's a pebble/stone white beach with beautiful clear blue waters. Sun loungers with a blue dot are for complimentary use of villa residents. A 30 second walk to the right is an amazing restaurant and the harbour is about a 5 min walk away along that route. Villa Pinocchio is very well placed and doesn't disappoint. Very good value for money. I hope to stay again!
