About this cottage rental
Illyria is a very old Dalmation fisherman's cottage which has been restored sympathetically to retain the authenticity of the property. The property is set over 3 floors with 2 of the three bedrooms enjoying breathtaking and uninterrupted views across the Adriatic Sea. The property comes with 2 bathrooms both equipped with power showers. Illyria is fully air conditioned throughout and satellite TV is available. Please bear in mind that we do need to change the furniture from time to time because the sea air does take its toll so individual furnishings may not look identical to the photos.
The property has a large terrace with BBQ - you can fish from the terrace and then pop your catch right on your own fire. Illyria is within a short walk of the local amenities including the many fine restaurants and pubs of Postira and the immediate vicinity. Guests may use the gym, spa (incl. manicurist) and sauna/solarium/internet facilities of a nearby hotel for a charge.
The island of Brac is only a 45 min ferry journey from Split which is directly served by an international airport. In the summer months, ferry departures from Split are very frequent i.e. every hour approx. Flights to Zadar (one and half hours drive from Split) and Dubrovnik (3 hours drive from Split) would also be suitable as would flights to Bol on the island of Brac..
Illyria was featured in the U.K. Channel 4 programme "Homes by the Med" - https://vimeo.com/205875693, enter code "med13" scroll to 12m35s and enjoy the coverage.
We can recommend a very reliable person, based in Split, should you require an airport transfer to the ferry port.
We also own and manage another prime site property, nestled in the heart of Diocletian's palace in Split(see HomeAway listing 1300888).This 120 metre, luxury, 1st floor apartment with its own private terrace (a rarity in Diocletian's palace) is simply stunning and its many guest reviews reflect this. It was recently fully renovated and is now available for rental. If a two-stop Dalmatian holiday is something you are interested in i.e. min 3 days in bustling Split city and it's great restaurants and shops coupled with a min 4 day stay on the island (only 40 mins away) with its great swimming and pure relaxation please let us know and we may be able to arrange it ...

Host and property manager were both responsive and helpful! Kitchen was clean and well stocked with kitchen tools we needed. Small selection of coffee, sugar and tea as well!The views from the kitchen made us all gasp!

We stayed here for a week with our two children, 8 and 11 years old and it really felt cozy and comfortable. The terrace was very inviting and you could easily spend a whole day just listening to the waves and watching the ships go by in the distance. The local fisherman were also interesting to watch. The town center is just beautiful with restaurants and bakeries right at the water and a 5 minute walk from the house. We loved the local beaches and it was a lot of fun to explore the town on foot. The surrounding towns were just a short drive away and also so much fun! Kids loved Muzej Ulja/Olive Oil museum tour and food tasting! Zlatni Rat beach was just a short drive away and right next to a cute town of Bol. This area was more busy and touristy so we were happy to be able to go back to our beautiful fisherman house in the evening to enjoy the sunset from the terrace! It was so magical! Our host Nicol was amazing and informative. She was very friendly and kind! She mades us feel welcome and we felt like we had a great friend in town! Kids loved it so much that they want to move to Croatia now! 😄

Illyria cottage was the very best. It was clean and comfortable and the view was spectacular. We swam everyday in front of the house. We cooked dinner at home twice and enjoyed the restaurants in town on the other nights. Parking was ample as soon as we knew where to park. We enjoyed the beach bar. “Incognito”. Absolutely a memory of a lifetime!

We stayed in August one week with the family in Illyria. The setting of the previous fisherman's house is absolutely ideal, everything in Postira (supermarket, restaurants) is only a few hundred meters away. It is phantastic to sit at the seashore in the morning on the terrace with a coffee to watch the sunrise. For runners or just for swimming, there is a great trail 5 km to the south along three or four bays, some of them really remote and lovely.
We found this little house really wonderful - with a lot of attention to detail in all rooms. The house is just beautiful and one could really spend the whole day just sitting on the terrace. In front of the house are also a few good spots for snorkeling. Everything one needs even for a longer stay (dish washer, washing machine, coffee machine etc) is provided and we missed absolutely nothing. We loved our stay and we could not have thought about any better place to stay on Brac Island.
