Great stay!
My Partner and I visited Mljet last year for a day trip and immediately fell in love. We were delighted to come back to Croatia for the third time and to be able to stay in such a beautiful place like this. Jelena was very helpful and responsive. Would highly recommend this host !!
Thank you so much for everything.

High-end vacation!
Nice place, great location. All the necessities are within walking distance. Mljet is full of exciting adventure! Highly recommend e-biking.
The apartment is tidy and quaint with a great view of the bay from the balcony. The kitchen is mostly stocked, though we were missing some basics. We arrived in mid-October, barely into the off season. It was unclear where to find the host as the restaurant was closed. As a result, checking in was unclear.

Lovely and comfortable place for stay!
Located in the heart of Polače, the condo sits right on the bay with beautiful views of the water and docked boats. Being inside the national park, it’s just a short walk to the lakes—or, if you prefer, nearby bike rentals make it even quicker to reach the park’s core.
Srecko, our local host, welcomed us with the keys and was immediately helpful with taxis, tips, and anything else we needed. He was kind, attentive, and truly made us feel at home.
On site, Restaurant Sponga was a highlight—Srecko prepared an incredible “under the bell” peka lamb, easily one of the best stews I’ve had in years. Kudos to the chef!
All told, it’s a magical location with wonderful hosts and comfortable accommodations. Highly recommended.

Brilliant service!
We stayed at Jelena's apartment for two days in Polače. The apartment is in very center of the village, and has a super nice seafood restaurant in the street floor. Check-in and check-out were both very flexible and the host was friendly and flexible in both ways. We were able to extend our visit untill our ferry came the leaving day which was super nice. Would definitely book this apartment again when we visit Mljet the next time.

Brilliant service!
This is the perfect place for when you want to truly get away from it all.
Set in a tiny, beautiful town, the apartment looks straight out onto the sea — the view is incredible. It has everything you need, but nothing feels fussy or overdone, which only adds to its charm.
The town has a few small restaurants and a shop, and you can reach the National Park with a scenic half-hour walk up and down a hill. You can also buy your park ticket nearby, making it all very convenient.
One thing to note: the apartment is accessed via numerous steps, so it may not be suitable for those with mobility issues.

Great location, unfortunately the internet did not work well and the bed was very uncomfortable. Would have loved to have a few more furnishings such as paper towels for the kitchen and bath soap for the bathroom.

High-end vacation!
My stay in Polace on Mljet Island was nothing short of phenomenal. Polace turned out to be a delightful resort area, embodying tranquility and raw natural beauty. It's a place where simplicity meets charm, creating a refreshing holiday destination.
One of the major highlights was its proximity to the nearby lakes. The opportunity to cycle around the picturesque surroundings on electric bikes made the experience even more enchanting. It provided a unique blend of thrill and relaxation - a feature that not many places can boast about.
Our stay was significantly enhanced by our choice of apartment. The terrace was nothing short of a dream! It offered mesmerizing views of the bay, presenting an absolutely awe-inspiring panorama. The peaceful mornings spent gazing at the resplendent sunrise over the serene landscapes made the entire experience feel magical.
A special highlight of our stay was the exquisite dinner at Sponga restaurant.

Special place!
We had a wonderful few days staying in Polace.
Communication with Jelena was great and she gave us lots of information about how to get there with a car. We were greeted by Srecko from Sponga restaurant below the apartment and he parked our car in a small space by the restaurant.
The apartment was great…comfy beds, good shower etc. but the best bit has to be the views of the beautiful bay from the terrace and balcony. A super spot to relax and watch the boats in the bay.
We walked to the National park (30 mins) and then walked around both lakes and took the solar boat to St Mary Island (included in price of park ticket). Lots of places in the park to picnic and one restaurant on the island of St Mary.
Back in Polace we ate dinner at Sponga restaurant both nights and the food was delicious. We had an Octopus dish (two hours notice required) one night and the next night saved space for desert which was amazing. We were very well looked after and had a great few days. Thank you.

Extraordinary journey!
Appartamento carino, la vista è incredibile e vale tutto il resto. Appartamento facile da trovare, ma se non si ha intenzione di noleggiare un mezzo la zona intorno non è super servita. Ottima l’accoglienza, ci è stato concesso di fare il check-in 2 ore prima, cosa non scontata. L’unica cosa che mi sento di consigliare è di mettere a disposizione degli ospiti qualche prodotto di pulizia. Abbiamo soggiornato nell’appartamento 3 giorni e non c’era assolutamente nulla per pulire. Tutto sommato una buona esperienza

Brilliant service!
Positivt om bolig:
God aircondition i både køkken/opholdsrum og i soveværelse.
Super terrasse med en fantastisk udsigt.
God plads til 2 personer
Lejligheden trænger generelt til en renovering / opgradering.
Vi manglede:
Mulighed for at lave kaffe (drikker ikke tyrkisk kaffe).
Mørke gardiner i soveværelse, der kan holde lyset ude tidligt om morgenen.
I forhold til beskrivelsen vaskemaskine og badesæbe.
Vi spiste på husets restaurant en aften. Maden var fin, men relativt dyr i forhold til andre gode restauranter i byen. Generelt kan der ikke benyttes kreditkort på byens restauranter.
Lejligheden ligger i en enkel og charmerende lille by, hvor masseturismens souvenirbutikker og badedyrsforretninger heldigvis endnu ikke er dukket op. Der er et mindre supermarked, en bager og udlejning af bl.a cykler.
Byen ligger i et område med storslået natur, der indbyder til vandring, cykling, badning og anden vandsport.
Vi havde 5 dejlige dage i Polace.

Points très positifs : très bonne situation pour visiter le parc national, très agréable terrasse avec vue magnifique, très propre.
Points négatifs : vieux frigo qui chauffe à l'extérieur, plaques électriques qui sentent fort, lumière de la salle de bain qui n'éclaire pas la douche, pas de Wi-Fi dans la chambre, douche qui passe du chaud au froid avec débit qui varie, matelas trop mou et avec des bosses,... Cet appartement fait très ancien et a besoin d'être rénové !!
