Fishermans Cottage

Ref: COR18WD

This traditional stone built house is situated in a most charming spot by a gorgeous bay on the coast. The house is set in a vineyard; on one side of this are vineyards, on the other the sea. They say in Croatia that the best wines come from the grapes that have a view of the sea! Certainly the local wine here is very palatable. The house is approached from the main road via an unmade track of about 900m and has a most a beautiful situation. Trstenik, a lovely little fishing village, is located 2km from the house; it has a reasonable range of food shops, and a market, as well as café bars and restaurants, which specialise in fresh fish and grilled meat dishes. Trstenik also has boat, windsurfing and diving hire. From Prapratna (30km away) there is a ferry to the island of Mljet (about an hour’s journey) where you can find one of Croatia’s best National Parks. Mljet is known for its two beautiful lakes; on an island on the larger of these is a magnificent Benedictine monastery. Travelling beyond Trstenik for about 25km is the town of Orebic, which has an hourly connection by ferry to the island of Korcula which is a charming town and is reputed to be the birthplace of Marco Polo.
