Villa Olana

Bokanjac, Zadar

  1. 5 km to the centre of Zadar, and still secluded.
  2. 700 m of gravel at the end of the road. You need a car.
  3. 0 m to the pool. You have arrived.

“Two weeks of pure enjoyment in peace and quiet.”

A big pool with a built-in hydromassage jacuzzi that we adults never left. A big fenced yard where the kids enjoyed sports while we adults stayed at the outdoor bar. The inside of the villa deserves all the praise too, especially as it has a washing machine and every appliance you could use. Very clean, tidy and modern. All praise. We are coming back, first in winter (they have central heating), and then in summer.

A great location, so close to the city and the city beaches and yet secluded, where you have your peace. A big pool and a big playing court beside the house where you can play all kinds of sports like basketball, tennis, badminton and so on. A proper big fireplace with a bar, really everything in one place. In a word, TOP

The house and especially the outdoor area is sooo great! The communication with Olana is very good and the check-in and check-out works perfectly! We would love to come back.

Very nice, secluded villa with an amazing pool. Suitable for young adults and families. Due to the large property and the tennis court, many activities are possible. Many shopping facilities are easily accessible by car. The beaches around Zadar are about 15 minutes by car. A beautiful, relaxing holiday destination.

It was very well equipped, with extras that were useful such as condiments, dishwasher tablets and toiletries. A few groceries including a beautiful bowl of fresh fruit was provided on arrival.

Very nice for large groups, but a car is always necessary to get into town

HannesAirbnb, June 2025.

Super nice place! Great for big families. A bit isolated, so you’ll need a car to get around.

AntonAirbnb, August 2023.

The house was very clean, the host was very welcoming and communicated well with me. I would definitely recommend this place to everyone. 10/10
