About this cottage rental

" Oh La La!" House full of character. This house is different!A special, wonder - full, detached self catering house is located slightly uphill which ensures such an ENCHANTING OPEN VIEW of the sea and archipelago that the most stunning view on the island is guaranteed!

Tucked away from the main place in the LARGE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN, protected from the all-night noise that comes from the bars in center makes this house a kind of an ISOLATED RETREAT which ensures SERENITY and COMPLETE PRIVACY. Yet the location of the house is close enough to let you get anywhere ( to the center of the town, beaches, ferry port etc.) WITHIN MINUTES ON FOOT.

The plot around the house is 1300 sq.m. large and therefore isolated from the sights or sounds of neighbors.

It's surrounded by a LARGE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN with different kinds of trees, herbs and fresh, fragrant spices which invite you to pick them and put into dish directly.

This property consists of SEVERAL SEPARATE BUILDINGS and terraces linked into a whole as a unique architectural solution that reminiscent of a small hacienda which is dominated by Dalmatian stone in a green environment.

The MAIN PART OF THE HOUSE ( 50 square meters) consists of two bedrooms, sitting/living room, a small kitchen and a bathroom.

The third beroom, located in a separate small building next to the main house is equipped with toilet and outdoor shower.The set-up of separate (from the main house) bedroom and bathroom means that if two small families or couples are holidaying together and they want a bit of space and privacy this is ideal.

A few steps from the house and terrace there are following SEPARATE BUILDINGS:
SUMMER KITCHEN , ANOTHER BEDROOM located in a separate small stone building next to a TOILET with washing machine and an OUTDOOR SHOWER which offers you breathtaking sea view. Also there is a big BBQ area equipped with an outdoor stone sink.

Beside a small kitchen inside the house, a really pretty and fully equipped SUMMER KITCHEN which is located in a separate stone building next to the house, features a large window overlooking the main terrace and the sea.

The house is especially proud of its 100 sq.m. LARGE TERRACES which offer an astonishing open view of the sea and the surrounding islands. One of the roofed part of the terraces features a long table that sits up to ten people.

The ceilings are high (2.2 to 3.5 m) asymmetrically vaulted, decorated with wooden beams and equipped with large ceiling fans, for those who do not prefer air conditioner. Air conditioner has a strong heating as well.

In addition, the house is equipped with all modern amenities which makes it quite luxurious!

OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE there are: a large Mediterranean garden, a few stone terraces and a balcony, stone sink and a big BBQ area just in front of the summer kitchen, an outdoor shower with stunning view, outdoor furniture ( a big table and chairs for ten), 4 deck chairs, 4 portable sun loungers.
You can see the sea almost from everywhere, regardless of whether you are in a living room, kitchen, one of the terraces, even under the shower!

AVAILABILITY and SUITABILITY:

This house sleeps up to 8 people comfortably ( i.e. 6+2 which means it sleeps 8 people if there are at least 2 children in your group). It sleeps 8 adults also, but a bit less comfortably.

This house is AVAILABLE ALL YEAR ROUND although IN THE WINTER MONTHS is appropriate for smaller number of people ( up to 4). This is because the summer kitchen is usually cold in winter and cooking in a small kitchen within the house is not suitable for more than 4 people. Also, an outdoor shower is in use during the warm months only, so that in the winter months there is only one bathroom in the house at your disposal.

This lovely house is a perfect choice for families with children, couples, groups of friends, pet owners, nature and long walks lovers, foodies and people who know how to enjoy the island atmosphere where friendship is easy to establish. Also, for all those who wish a great escape into pure ecological and tranquil zone very close to the city centers!

Zlarin is called island of corals, the green island or the golden island due to the large number of sunny days a year. This serene island is a hidden peace of paradise that leaves no one unimpressed!

It is therefore no wonder that there is evidence of life on Zlarin since prehistory, from Neolithic times to Roman ages. On the island there are historical monuments from 17th century.

This true ecological oasis is located at the central point of the Adriatic coast, very close to the city of Sibenik - 3,5 nautical miles (7 km approx.) or 25 minutes by the regular ferry service.

The island of Zlarin is one of the rare Adriatic islands that do not allow cars which gives it a special charm!

As Zlarin is a traffic free island, you need to leave your car in Sibenik, if coming by the car. We would kindly organize safe parking for you.

This gorgeous island is famous for its long tradition of red coral mining.
Zlarin is not only the gift of nature, but also an island of great fun in a summer time when Zlarin hosts numerous fun and cultural events of all kinds.You will also love sitting in one of the bars or restaurants near the sea and enjoy the atmosphere of this vivacious island town!

The nearest beach is 10 minutes walk from the house. Since Zlarin is very relaxed place, you can also walk to the beach dressed only in your bathing costume!

Long walking paths by the sea extend all over the entire length of the bay will inspire you for a long walks. The forest trails surrounded by beautiful vistas across the olive groves, vines, fields of figs trees and Mediterranean plants will also attract you to take long walks or bike rides.

Thank you so much to Dasha for being an amazing host, and for opening her incredible home to us to enjoy! Zlarin is a beautiful island, and we could have easily spent all our time immersing ourselves in the trails, beaches, and local restaurants. We had planned several day trips, so we alternated between “island days” and “exploring days”; we enjoyed all of our trips ashore, but every time we returned to the island it felt like going home. The home itself invites you to enjoy the outdoor living area overlooking the harbor. The patio is shaded by grape vines and surrounded by olive trees, lavender, and other herbs. As beautiful as the pictures are, the reality is even more stunning.

We had a fantastic week in Zlarin with 3 teenage children. Zlarin is a beautiful, quiet, relaxed island. We loved spending time in the town, eating at one of the lovely restaurants, jumping in the sea from the harbour jetty where the water is spotlessly clean and generally enjoying the lively atmosphere. The property itself is on the edge of the town with beautiful sea views. It is very well equipped and is wonderful place to relax. It has a fantastic summer kitchen, which almost makes you want to cook and the best outdoor shower with fantastic sea views. Dasha is the best host and goes above and beyond to make sure your holiday goes smoothly from the time of booking through to the end of the holiday. We cannot recommend this property enough for people wanting a relaxing yet memorable holiday.

We enjoyed every minute of our stay at OhLaLa house, owned by the lovely Dasha, who couldn't have been kinder or more helpful throughout. The house is set high up so the views are stunning, especially from the outside kitchen! The house has been well equipped and you have everything you need (including air condition). There are no cars on the island so it is also very quiet. Bikes were available for use but you need to be an experienced mountain biker if you want to follow the suggested paths (the paths also make for good walks). Zlarin is a peaceful, family friendly and relaxing location. There are several restaurants along the harbour but the gem is a short walk away from the house - Konoba Prslika. Delicious, seasonal food and the nicest hosts. Swimming and snorkelling is great as the water is so clear - lovely to hire kayaks to see around the island. There is a small supermarket on the island but make sure you stock up on the mainland. There is also a fruit stall near the only hotel but they are not there every day. A great stay, with great house courtesy of Dasha.

House full of Character was wonderful; the photographs did no do justice to the magnificent setting we saw on the island.This is a place for total relaxation and peace; it has all the comforts of home. We love cooking in the outdoor kitchen, lounging on the patio, watching the wind blow through the olive trees and sailboats in the distance. The small village has the atmosphere of old Europe with easy access to fresh organic food, wine and restaurants. There were many paths for hiking and biking with stunning views around every corner. Swimming in the deep blue Adriatic was a favorite activity. During our 10-day stay we meet many friendly and helpful people and felt at home. Our hostess, Dasha, was extremely helpful with all aspects of our trip planning and with our stay on the island. She welcomed us with a Grappa toast and was always available to answer questions. We left having a new friend in Dasha and look forward to returning soon.

From the moment we booked Dasha's place I knew we had made the right decision. She was so helpful, arranging a boat for us and sending us all the information we needed about the local area. The photos cannot possibly do justice to the amazing view that you wake up to every morning. It is simply stunning. There is everything you need on the Island - 4 restaurants, 3 bars, small supermarket, tourist information. The villa itself is full of character. The gardens are very well stocked with figs and grapes (which we picked and ate) and we enjoyed chilling on the terrace. We cooked a couple of meals in the very sociable outside kitchen. Beds are comfortable and the air conditioning is very good. There are plenty of spots for swimming and sunbathing and the sea is beautiful and clear on Zlarin. We used the bikes or walked to restaurants/shop/bars - everything was very accessible. We hired a boat for a few days and visited other bays around the island of Zlarin and also another island, Prtvic which was only 30 mins away. The ferries are very good and cheap and we went to Sibenik (very attractive old town) and Vodice (worth a visit but not as nice) for the day. We also spent a day in Zadar which was a great city. All, in all, we (family of 5 with an 18 year old and two young people in their 20s) had a brilliant time - lots to do but also the possibility to completely relax. The island feels very safe. The set-up of separate (from the main house) bedroom and bathroom means that if two small families or couples are holidaying together and they want a bit of space and privacy this is ideal. I really can't fault this villa. We usually rent places with a pool but none of us missed not having one. Zlarin, Sibenik and surrounding area are mostly unspoilt by tourism and Dasha is the perfect host -a lovely lady who speaks perfect English and who takes great pride in making your visit perfect. What more can you ask for!! We will be back.

This holiday house was an ideal place for us (2 adults and 4 teenagers) and I recommend it to everyone who wants to experience a wonderful mixture of comfort, beautiful views, on an authentic and lively island away from big tourism and yet offering plenty of possible activities for the whole family! Our host, Dasha, supported us in every way she could to make this holiday successful. We all enjoyed it very much!!

Another lovely time in Oh La La house. The house is wonderful and more than very well equipped. Dasha was a fantastic host and was keen to ensure our comfort. Zlarin is the best place to relax, especially in June. Excellent and safe place for children too! Hope to come back again :)

Period of two weeks of our stay in this amazing house on Zlarin in May flew so quickly! The truly unique experience in this superb house that feels like a home! Luxury corner in a hidden place only a few minutes' walk away from picturesque, lively small town and various beaches for every taste! The house itself is thought-out and well equipped.

One of two kitchens is the most inspiring place for cooking we could imagine! Zlarin is located in pure ecological zone where your car is not needed, close to Sibenik! Dasha is perfect host!
