“We stayed at both Zoran and Lora’s beautiful apartments in Zagreb and Novalja. Lora’s Mom and her friend met us on arrival in Zagreb and gave us a very warm and friendly welcome which made us immediately feel at home. We also received some welcoming traditional Croatian foods and treats and the most delicious filo pastry. We found both apartments in a very tidy and neat state, comfortable and well equipped for all our needs. We enjoyed Zagreb so much, especially the old city, that we extended our stay. The availability of their car also made it possible for us to visit interesting villages and historic landmarks; however, you don’t really need a car in Zagreb as public transport is regular and within easy distance from the apartment. We also had a fabulous stay in Novalja on Pag Island; the apartment is very close to the beach and town center which offer good restaurants and shopping markets. The Island has magnificent scenery and historic landmarks. We met Zoran and Lora for breakfast when they returned from their exchange in Malaysia and found them very sincere, kind and friendly. Our communication with Lora prior to and during our stay was very easy and relaxed and she responded without delay to our questions. We are very privileged that Zoran and Lora made this exchange possible, we have had the most wonderful experience and thoroughly enjoyed the stays in Zagreb and Novalja very much. We wish to extend our sincere gratitude for their great hospitality. Hannes & Johlene Mossel Bay, South Africa ”

ABOUT THE APARTMENT
Lovely & clean apartment in Novalja is perfect for your relaxed vacation, equipped with everything you might need! We do not live in this place, we rent it to tourists, but also use it for home exchange.
The apartment is on the first floor. 45 m2 of living area plus terrace is 8 m2. It has 2 bedrooms, a living room (with sleeping possibility for one extra person or two children), a kitchen (detachable from living room by a curtain), a bathroom (with shower and toilet) and a terrace. You also get your designated parking space.
WHEN TO VISIT NOVALJA - not the same all year round
Please, have in mind that Novalja is a summer destination. Spending winter months there isn't that appealing unless you need a solitary place to rest your soul (or write a book!). Most of the stores and restaurants are closed for the winter and there is not much to do there. Also, there is no heating in the apartment, except from the air-conditioner, which can be enough during normal winters. Over the summer, Novalja is a very popular tourist and party place, but over the winter, it is just a small fishermen village.
You might want to skip the high season when Novalja is cramped with tourists and when it gets quite hot. May, June and September are months with good and warm (but not too hot!) weather, just without so many tourists. April and October are also ok to visit, but most restaurants and stores will be closed as there won't be as many people.

Lora's reviews
As a host (2)“Beau pied à terre pour visiter la Croatie. C'était tranquille en cette saison mais très agréable température. Les propriétaires nous ont facilité la tâche en nous référant à leur tante qui parle le français. Nous avons aussi eu le privilège de rester à Zagreb, la capitale, dans l'appartement de ville, que nous avons aussi apprécié. Merci à Lora.”

We are cheerful people, very responsible, clean and would take care of your home better than our own, as we are aware we would be guests at your place. We do need a good wi fi connection for our work, though.

Where is it?
Neighbourhood
Far from the city noise (trust me, it's extremely loud in the city!) the apartment is located at 20 mins by foot from the city centre (or take a bus), but is close to the sea - small beach at 300m from the apartment and charming sandy bay "Babe" at 10 mins by foot.
Novalja is indeed a small city for everyone's taste - it offers wild night amusement for the youth, a lot of beautiful beaches for families with children as well as hidden bays and sceneries for more adventurous spirits. With its gastronomic (famous sheep cheese from Pag), culture-historical (Roman aqueduct and sunken town Caska) and even science-fiction (the mysterious "triangle of Pag") offers, Novalja promises a relaxation you may have dreamt about.
