Villa Godi Star
Villa Godi Star and host Stanko were both absolutely first class during our week long stay on Brac in early October. Our group comprised two families totalling 4 adults and 5 teenage girls. We fitted comfortably in the three level villa, with plenty of bedrooms and tonnes of space for everyone, whether we were hanging out together or if you needed some alone time with a little peace and quiet.
The amenities throughout the villa are absolutely top notch. All bedrooms are ensuite, with TVs and reasonable wifi throughout the large house. The pool area (where we spent much of our time) is superb, lots of deck-chairs, sun lounges and day beds as well as a fully-appointed outdoor entertainment area, with couches, sound system, TV and wifi, not to mention the wonderful pool. There's also a big outdoor dining area with seating for 10 where we ate Stanko's magnificent breakfast (included as part of our stay) which he and his partner prepared for us each morning. The view from the pool deck over the bay is delightful, changing throughout the day as the sun moves and finally sets. We also witnessed a lightning storm which was spectacular from the villa.
The villa has access to a lovely little bay with a pebble beach, just a short 50 or so steps down (though it feels longer coming back up). The villa has a few deck chairs down by the beach, and snorkelling gear too, so you can take a closer look through the crystal clear water at all the fish, and there are heaps! There are also a couple of bikes available at the villa that some in our group used.
The nearest towns (Sumartin & Selca) are only a short drive away with the views of Sumartin as you head into town something to remember. There's a small supermarket and several restaurant and eating options in Sumartin, but by the end of our week several had started to close for the season.
Stanko was an excellent host, right from the word go when we had to modify our original dates slightly, he was super helpful and completely accommodating throughout. His communication once we booked and in the lead-up to our stay was always prompt and clear, friendly and helpful. He made lots of excellent recommendations to us, where to eat locally and on the island generally, places to visit and things to do. Nothing seemed to much trouble.
I can't recommend Villa Godi Star (and Stanko) highly enough - awesome! We had an absolutely fantastic 5-star stay that has created so many life-long memories. Thanks again Stanko!
