Villa Kambel West

5 STAR AND MORE Exceptional villa – brand new spotlessly clean with every facility for five star living and more! Our hosts could not do enough for us and were always on hand if we needed them or had any questions. The pool was wonderful and like bath water and the hot tub also great. We were welcomed with wine, cold beers, bottled water, soft drinks, a huge platter of cheeses and cold meats and a massive bowl of fruit. Later on in our holiday our hosts cooked us a typical Croatia dish and brought it round hot with lovely warm home made bread. There are several TVs with satellite tv and nothing whatsoever missing from the kitchen including a coffee making machine with beans! Loads of linen and towels, toilet rolls, kitchen towels, toiletries and every type of cleaning product and cloths. Just perfect in every way and a great location, cannot wait to go back

This is the very best accommodation I have ever stayed in all round the world. The villa itself was exceptional with EVERY facility including a warm swimming pool and an amazing hottub on the roof with kitchen/bar and tv. Great location too. The extras in the way of toiletries, fruit and other food and drinks was above and beyond and includes kayaks, bikes, lilos for the pool and loads of linen and towels including towels for the pool/beach. The kitchen was fully equipped, nothing whatsoever missing and there were tvs in every room with satellite. The hosts were charming and could not do enough for us. We cannot wait to go back.

What an incredible accommodation!!!! Our family (with two children 10 and 12) loved our stay at this Villa. The pictures don’t do it justice and the hosts are simply amazing!! They left no stone unturned, the attention to detail was simple amazing!!! So clean and well maintained!! The hot tub, bar and lounge area on the roof is perfect for the evening! The kids loved the heated pool and there was plenty of space for us to chill out and watch as they splashed around. Everything is so close: Grocery store is 2 min up the road. The waterfront is a min walk away. Split old town centre is beautiful and just a 30 min drive. Boris was quick to help advise us on some great restaurants, places to visit and good wine to choose at the store. Highly recommended!!! Hope to visit again in the future, can’t say enough what a great experience this was. Thank you Boris and Jelena!!!!

This is the best villa we have ever stayed in. What the hosts provide is above and beyond. Let alone how comfortable and luxurious the Villa is. Facilities are outstanding. I had everything I wanted for my family. Clean, comfortable, value for money. The Hosts are also incredibly helpful for what ever you want to book, they are local to the area and know the best places to book and things to do. We didn’t want to leave, but will definitely be back. Great holiday.

We were very fortunate to find this incredible villa. Villa Kambel West was the location for a 9 day holiday that we enjoyed as a family in June 2019. The property is relatively new and has been developed to exceptionally high standards. The living spaces are well laid out and with a really well equipped kitchen sitting and dining area. The bedrooms are all en suite and really comfortable, two with outside balconies. Outside the pool area and loungers made a really comfortable space to chill and swim, which in the heat of the day was perfect. Of an evening we all enjoyed sitting in the hottub in our own private roof top bar, simply amazing, stunning sunsets and the most perfect setting. Jelena and Boris who host the villa went far and above what we expected with their kindness and hospitality. Genuine individuals who were really thoughtful including bringing a birthday cake for our daughter who was celebrating her birthday whilst we were staying. They also offered great advice on where to eat, what to see and arranging with a local tour company for us to enjoy days out. We left Croatia completely relaxed, and are already planning our return to this fantastic country, made all the more enjoyable by our choice of Villa Kambel. Thank you for all your hospitality.

Best wishes,
Laurence & Helen

Upon check-in Boris and Jelena told us they were not just handing over the keys to a house but they were instead inviting us into their home as special guests. They told us our Villa Kambel experience would not be ordinary but special in every way and they would do whatever needed to make it so. My family has travelled around the world and stayed in many rental properties so it is with some experience that I say Boris and Jelena have created a new level of Hospitality and redefined the rental home experience. Our 7 day stay at Villa Kambel was, by far, the most memorable and enjoyable away from home experience we have ever had. It is impossible to list all of the ways Boris and Jelena made our stay special because there were so many but some of the standouts include:
– Villa Kambel is the nicest property we have ever stayed at from both a cleanliness and a comfortability perspective
– The design, layout, furniture, pool, hot tub, towels, electronics are so beautiful and functional
– The location of Villa Kambel is the best in the Split area allowing day trips along the Dalmation coast always returning to your “home”
– Boris and Jelena provided so many comforts including a mobile hot spot to allow for internet access while traveling, shopping and dining recommendations, a wonderful assortment of meats and fruits upon check in and a personal interest in what we were doing and how they could help to make it better every step of the way
– As much as we wanted to spend our time exploring the Croatian coast we wanted to spend our time relaxing at Villa Kambel as well. A week is clearly not enough, we will return
Boris and Jelena made a point to welcome us into their home and also to be there and say good bye when we left. We not only got to see the beautiful country but stayed in one of the prettiest homes on the Dalmation coast. We met and became friends with two people that have redefined Hospitality in every way and truly made Villa Kambel our Home Away from home. Hours spent with Boris on the sea and time spent with Jelena tells me that their approach to hospitality is so genuine and honest that a stay in their home is a true enhancement to a Croatian vacation. We spent time discussing more than Croatia and the beautiful Adriatic Sea and had the opportunity to get to know Boris and Jelena.
Our stay was special in every way with hosts that were proud to welcome us into their home and for one week make it ours. Thank you Boris and Jelena

Where can start?

When we arrived at the Villa, we were warmly greeted and welcomed with salty ham, warm bread, and fridges filled with water, soda, and beer.
After a tour around the house with all the necessary information, and an hour of settling in. The host Boris politely offered to drive me and 2 of my friends to the nearest store to stock up on food, and drinks.
The host Boris gave us very important information about the surroundings of Croatia. Where to go, what to see, and the most important what things can cost.

As a tourist, you are always at risk to be scammed when ordering taxi, boat or other services. The host was always ready to answer any questions or be ready for anything. He was always ready on “Whatsapp” or to be called. Providing support and service 24/7

And let’s talk about the Villa because this is an extraordinary villa. So beautiful, with everything you need. A beautiful pool that’s warmed up if the weather would fail. And luxurious jacuzzi that was heaven sent every night when I was in it.

The major things like a pool, great viewing of the ocean, jacuzzi, the comfortable beds, and a top kitchen. You also gotta understand the small things brought my experience to be a top vacation. Like 100% total blinds in the bedroom, Strong AC in every room, mosquito lamps in every bedroom, a coffee machine and Satelite tv.
Things like that are what you don’t really expect but make your visit the best

What more can I say? The best service I have ever received, like being in a 5-star hotel. The house was amazing but I will never forget the Host Boris and Jelena

Johan Larsson

The property is absolutely stunning – very well stocked with everything you need for a totally relaxing holiday – the owners Jelena and Boris were helpful, thoughtful and kind – they made my Daughter-in-laws 30th Birthday very special with a homemade cheesecake and gifts, we would definitely recommend their beautiful Villa – it’s in a great location with many cafes, restaurants nearby with a lovely beach and crystal clear water x

Rudman Family

This was our first time in Croatia and Villa Kambel was one of the best that we have ever stayed in. The villa is situated in a perfect location, equidistant from the beautiful town of Trogir and Split. The seafront is just a minute walk from the villa, and from there you can stroll the seafront promenade that join the Kastela’s. Or if you are feeling a little more energetic, use the kayak or paddle boards to explore the coast. There are plenty of restaurants and supermarkets in close vicinity.

The villa is so well equipped with everything you could ask for and plenty more extras that make it feel like a home. We enjoyed spending time by the pool, and having lunch on the roof terrace, which with the outdoor bar and hot tub is a great space to relax and watch the sun go down. We wish we had a longer stay to explore the area further and enjoy more lazy days at the villa. It was a real wrench to close the door and return home.

The hospitality of Boris and Jelena is exceptional and they could not do enough for us. Jelena kindly drove my daughter to a local clinic, when she cut her leg at the beach and needed to get it checked out. They were always in contact should we need anything and provided us with many recommendations for restaurants and excursions. We took a boat trip with Summer Blues, a company that they recommended, which we thoroughly enjoyed. We also visited a few of their recommended restaurants which were our favourite meals of our holiday (especially Trs in Trogir). They even treated us to a meal at one of their favourite local restaurants, which was lovely and extended far beyond our expectations. It’s not surprising to read all the other reviews and see the same sentiments echoed. Don’t wait – just book. You won’t be disappointed!

We hope to come back again one day.

Thanks again for making our stay in Croatia so wonderful and making us feel so welcome.

The Waters Family

Exceptional experience in a truly amazing venue. This brand new villa is the right location for a 5 stars holyday. Perfectly clean and cured, from to the pool area to the stunning roof top with a Jacuzzi, a lounge and a bar. The whole house is fully equipped, nothing was missing both in the kitchen and in the three comfortable bedrooms. The hosts provides us with every single item needed, and welcomed us with an aperitif with Dalmatian products.
The hosts are simply perfect: at our disposal for any need, plenty of suggestions to enjoy the villa but also Kastela and the two towns to visit in the nearby, Trogir and Split. Boris and Jelena made everything to let our stay in Villa Kambel the best, it’s impossible to ask for more.
We can just truly recommend this villa, and Boris and Jelena as great hosts.

Margherita Biondo

This was our third visit to Croatia, and we have to say this villa is in the best location. The villa has everything you could possibly need for a great holiday. We were a party of 8 and we could of not wished for anything more perfect. Boris and Jelena were the most amazing hosts and nothing was too much trouble. The villa was absolutely spotless in all areas and we loved using the pool and jacuzzi. The extra touches such as snacks and drinks on arrival and presenting my son with a beautiful birthday cake on his birthday were just beyond what was expected. We have stayed in many villas around the world, and this villa is up there with the best. We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking for a perfect holiday in Croatia. We hope to return one day. THANK YOU!!!

Just wow.
By far the best villa I have stayed in anywhere around the world, with the most amazing hosts.
Jelena and Boris set new standards for service, better than what I have received in 5 star hotels.
We were met at the villa by our hosts with a bottle of wine and some beautiful food. The fridge was stocked with some drinks to get us going, a great little touch.
The villa was amazing. The pictures don’t do it justice, amazing (heated) pool, beautiful roof bar and a fantastic well equipped kitchen.
The little things made all the difference, everything you needed was there from hairdryer to toothbrush’s, dishwasher tablets to tea and coffee.
Jelena and Boris were always available to give us advice and recommendations, massage, restaurants and boat trips (make sure you get Boris to take you out!). They kindly let us use their paddles boards and kayak to take advantage of the beautiful sea just a stone throw away.
The best way to sum up is that Jelena and Boris showed great pride and passion about their beautiful home and providing the most outstanding service.
We couldn’t recommend the place enough it was hard saying goodbye on our last day.
Look forward to seeing you at the TT!

This fantastic place is the perfect holiday spot if you want to enjoy some privacy and not be smack in the middle of a tourist area with big hotels all around. It‘s very close to some beaches and very good restaurants are only minutes away. The house is divine. We were just one couple, but enjoyed the great space and wonderfully equipped house. You feel immediately at home. The pool and jacuzzi were our favorite spots, but not to forget the great outdoor dining area and the top floor bar – just marvelous spots to chill. The hosts – well, it is really difficult to find such lovely and helpful people. Not invasive, very discreet, yet always there if needed. We will definitely consider coming back just for the house and the hosts. Don‘t hesitate – book it! You won‘t regret it 😊

Wir waren in der Villa Kambel eine Woche zu Besuch. Das Haus ist wunderschön, sehr sauber und das Konzept ist bis ins kleinste Detail durchdacht. Die Ausstattung lässt keine Wünsche offen. Der Jacuzzi auf der Dachterrasse mit Bar und unglaublichen Ausblick sind das Highlight der Villa. Die Villa liegt ruhig, fernab vom Massentourismus. Trotzdem erreicht man alle Ausflugsziele sehr schnell (Split und Trogir ca 20 Minuten Fahrt). Der Strand ist nur ein paar Gehminuten entfernt. Sehr zu empfehlen ist eine private Bootstour mit dem Villa Kambel Speedboat. Der Ausflug war super Entspannt und die Inseln, Strände und Buchten in der Umgebung sind ein Traum. Vielen Dank an den Skipper für das tolle Erlebnis! Übertroffen wurde alles noch durch die Freundlichkeit und Herzlichkeit der Gastgeber! Die Organisation war sehr unkompliziert und Vorort hat Jelena jederzeit weitergeholfen. Wir kommen gerne wieder 🙂

Well what can we say, Croatia is beautiful.

Me and 4 friends came to stay at Jelena and Boris’s villa to celebrate our 40th birthdays.

We can safely say it was the best birthday yet !

Jelena was the best host.. going out of her way to collect us from the airport, taking us to the supermarket and organising the most wonderful boat trip.

The villa was absolutely perfect, we found no fault at all. From lazy days round the pool to sunsets on the rooftop.. amazing villa.

Anyone looking for 5star service, 5star accommodation and a 5star holiday.. look no further !!

Thank you Jelena, Boris and team. We will be back very soon !! Xx

Jennifer C.

Alles hat gestimmt, Jelena und Boris sind ganz liebe Vermieter. Jelena kümmert sich um jede Angelegenheit sofort. Super sauberes Haus. Der Ausflug mit dem Villa Kambel Boot ist ein super Ergebnis. In dem Haus ist alles vorhanden und mit sehr viel Liebe gemacht. Danke nochmal an Jelena und Boris es war ein super Urlaub.

Stefanie J.

The house is amazing. Ultra modern and well equipped. We loved staying there. The pool is just the right temperature. The bar and terrace, and hot tub, at the top is a great place for an evening drink. Boris and Jelena were incredibly attentive. Any minor issues were resolved almost immediately – they are always on hand if needed.

One thing we particularly liked is that there is always shade on the terrace or garden when eating.

We had a great, relaxing holiday at the house.

The only thing to be aware of is that the immediate area around the house is a little mixed. There are lots of modern holiday homes but also some run down houses and unfinished new builds that have been left derelict. There are lots of beaches in the area but they don’t match the quality of the house.

Mark Davis

This villa and the hosts are fabulous! This is a modern luxury villa and Boris and Jelena really have thought of everything that their guests may need.

The pool and outside area with its loungers and umbrellas were perfect for enjoying the Croatian sunshine. We also enjoyed using the bar area and hot tub on the third floor and watching the sunset from there.

It was immaculately clean, beautifully presented and fully equipped. The bedrooms are a good size with comfortable beds and loads of storage.

We loved the location of the villa too. Trogir and Split are an easy drive away. The seafront is a minute walk away where you can walk along a promenade with bars and restaurants in both directions. A supermarket is within walking distance with many others within a short drive.

Boris and Jelena are wonderful hosts. Amongst other things they organized a boat trip for us with Karl on the villa boat (highly recommend and one of our favorite days out) and rescheduled it for us when the weather wasn’t looking so good for the initial date; provided recommendations for restaurants; tips on how best to visit the Krka National Park; provided delicious homemade pastries and found us a charging cable for a camera.

Thank you again for your hospitality.

We highly recommend this villa to anyone looking to stay in this part of Croatia!

Alison Haweswood

Jelena & Boris have created the most amazing villa, striking a great balance between luxury and homeliness. Their attention to detail and level of cleanliness are outstanding. This combined with the warmest of welcomes and lots of thoughtful, personal touches lead us to describe Villa Kambel i the best we have stayed in. Thank you

Catrion Heart

We knew from our first contact all through covid that Boris & Jelena would be friends, and when we finally met them in early September that is exactly what they were, outstanding friendly helpful people. Our stay at the villa was as perfect as the villa itself we loved the setting, Split was lovely and Trogir a gem we went back for an end of holiday meal at night which is a must do, the scenery along the coast is outstanding. For people with small children like our one year old the beach at Dugi Rat is ideal with little trees for shade and sand that slopes into warm sea no deeper than your knees. The villa is a show home which you could not fault, top finish on everything and meticulously clean. The meal of fish Boris and Jelena prepared for us was outstanding and made a really enjoyable evening and cemented them a place in our hearts.
Thank you Boris,Jelena bless your family

Bryan,Karen ,Family

We visited as a family and all thought the villa was brilliant, one of the best we have stayed at (and we travel a lot)! Boris was brilliant, really helpful and went the extra mile to make us feel welcome and at home. A lot of thought has clearly gone into the decorating and amenities in every room. Anything you could think of was provided, from a coffee machine to extra pool towels and hair dryers to inflatables in the pool. Both the pool and hot tub have adjustable temperatures and so are brilliant no matter when you visit. We felt so comfortable none of us wanted to leave!

John Martin

Truly amazing experience! Boris and Jelena were so accommodating and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Their level of customer service is above anything I have experienced before… started as guests and left as friends.

They even for no reason cooked us an amazing seafood dinner one night and delivered to our door!! Villa was as described or better… everything was perfect… clean, well provisioned and so neatly organized. Again amazing.

We booked their private boat trip for a day, exploring the islands. Nothing could’ve been better. The boat was a great size again well provisioned, and our hosts could not have done more while to make our day special. We ran out of wine, and Boris phoned someone on the beach, jumped in, swam ashore and came back with a bottle of wine for us. All in all an amazing experience, truly beautiful villa in a beautiful little seaside town with great restaurant, options quiet, walking streets and amazing vistas!

Amanda & Jeff Souhtwell

Zuerst einmal, wir waren und sind Immer noch, absolut überwältigt von der schönen Zeit die wir in Kroatien und in dem Haus hatten. Boris und Jelena waren absolute 5* plus Gastgeber und haben uns bei allem super unterstützt. Das Haus war ein absoluter Traum, welches wir jedem weiterempfehlen können. Wir haben zudem noch eine private Bootstour mit Boris geplant und dass war das absolute Highlight unseres Urlaubes. Boris hat uns an verschiedene kleine Buchten gebracht auf einem super schönen Boot, in dem wir absolut ungestört das Wasser und das Meer genießen konnten. Keinen Touristen oder fremden Menschen um uns herum, nur wir und die Natur. Die Restaurant Empfehlungen haben sich absolut bewährt und wir sind uns jetzt schon sicher, dass wir demnächst wieder kommen! Ein herzliches Dankeschön an die tollen Gastgeber die unsere Zeit in Kroatien so wunderschön und erholend gestaltet haben!

Katrin

Fantastiskt värdpar som sköter sitt fina hus på bästa sätt. Huset överträffar våra förväntningar, genomtänkta detaljer och välutrustat. Boris är mycket hjälpsam.

Urlika

The property itself is incredible, spotlessly clean – it looks brand new, beautifully presented and well equipped especially the kitchen which has more than you will ever need and the tea and coffee facilities were also a welcome treat. Bedrooms were spacious and very comfortable with good quality linens and we particularly enjoyed the electronic black out blinds on the lazy mornings! There are so many beautiful areas to sit and enjoy the villa itself or the fabulous views.

Moving onto the hosts Boris and Jelena, absolutely faultless – both prior to and during our stay. Starting off with the offer to pick us up at the airport which they did with a warm greeting on arrival, the welcome charcuterie board and wine, fridge stocked with drinks, fresh bread and some snacks for the children at the property. What followed throughout the week: offers to take us to the supermarket, recommendations for places to go / eat via the WhatsApp group they set up, providing the most delicious home cooked meal brought straight to the villa and the beautiful farewell gift. They go over and above to make sure your stay is extra special. It’s not what you typically get and expect from a villa stay, and this villa certainly speaks for itself, but I would say their hosting is more comparable to a concierge service of some of the top hotels we’ve stayed in.

My only complaint is that it came to an end, we would love to come back here and experience it all over again!

Kelly Dee

Eine unglaublich schöne Villa. Jelena und Boris sind die nettesten und hilfsbereitesten Gastgeber. Egal was wir brauchten – es wurde sofort besorgt oder organisiert. Alles ist überkomplett und luxoriös ausgestattet, ganz neu und sehr sauber. Bei unserer Ankunft waren sogar eine köstliche Jause und gekühlte Getränke kostenlos bereitgestellt. Eine wirklich perfekte Location für einen sorgenfreien und erholsamen Urlaub mit Freunden oder Familie. Alles zusammen: mindestens 6 Sterne!!!

Eva + Franz

This is an exceptional property and we had a brilliant time.
The house is well situated, quiet location near the beach and restaurants. Every detail in the property has been lovingly thought through – it is fantastically built and brilliantly well equipped.
Nothing was too much trouble for Jelena – communication was fantastic and she was incredibly friendly and helpful. Great restaurant and activity recommendations.

We would happily return – a really great place to stay.

Rachel Lewis

The accommodation was amazing and both Jelena and Boris were brilliant hosts! Jelena and Boris were very kind with helping us book restaurants and trips, and made us a birthday cake!!

We had the best week, and would 100% come back in the future! Thank you!!! 🙂

Dominic

We recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Kambel, and I can confidently say it was the perfect holiday. From the moment we arrived, our host Jelena couldn’t have been more helpful, kind, and friendly. She made us feel welcome and ensured that we had everything we needed throughout our stay.
The villa itself was immaculate, with every detail thoughtfully considered. It was equipped with everything we could possibly need, and more! The space was beautifully maintained, extremely comfortable, and had a warm, inviting atmosphere that made it hard to leave. We didn’t want the week to end!
If you’re looking for a place to relax and unwind, Villa Kambel is the perfect choice. The combination of Jelena’s hospitality and the villa’s amenities made this an unforgettable experience. I would highly recommend staying here—it’s the kind of place that you’ll want to return to again and again.
Many thanks Jelena – you were brilliant!

Andrew Green

Villa Kambel is such an exceptional property and Jelena and Boris the most amazing hosts.
We have just returned from the villa and had a brilliant time. The property itself, is exactly as described and the cleanest and most well equipped villa I have ever stayed in (and Ive stayed in quite a lot). It is in a quiet residential area, with sea views from the terrace but very close, within walking distance to a number of good restaurants and bars.
Jelena was brilliant at helping make recommendations for restaurants and excursions, even helping to book them for us and bringing a cool bag and ice packs for the day we went on a boat trip. Always very friendly and helpful, her communication was prompt and she did everything she could to ensure we had a really lovely holiday.
A big thank you, Jelena and Boris you are brilliant at creating a great experience – we would happily return.

Rachel

Wow … where do I start?! This is one of the BEST villas I have ever stayed in, without doubt the most equipped with every utensil you could imagine, quality crockery and cutlery, food processor, ice machine etc etc The BBQ was like new! The jacuzzi stunning views. Washing machine really helpful for me as I ran every day along the beach so washed my running clothes. Jelena and Boris are without doubt the best hosts I have ever encountered, going the extra mile: accommodating a family gathering for us with more chairs for example, restaurant recommendations, a welcome platter and refreshments, lift to the supermarket and from the airport – really awesome extra touches that meant a lot to us!!! They are a lovely family and their home is truly beautiful you will not regret booking here. WE did not get to see so much of Croatia as we would have liked because truthfully we enjoyed the villa and the local sea and restaurants, lovely walk along to Kastel Stari for more restaurants – it really is perfect location. Only 25 minutes to split by taxi no problem at all. We will definitely be staying here again. Thankyou Jelena and Boris for giving us a great holiday. Kate and family xx
