Zia Regina House, autentica casa del 1882 con magnifica vista sul mare

If you want to be away from it all, so try very comfortable space and a kitchen for a family, this is fantastic. The views are great, and it’s 15 mins drive to restaurants and beaches in all directions. The village of Dragive itself is very quiet, without shops or restaurants, so be prepared to drive. The hostess was very helpful and most gracious. We were very comfortable in the AC space with 2 beds, 2 bathrooms, outdoor and indoor living area and kitchen. Perfect for exploring the north of the island in particular including veli zal, veli rat and bozava. Easy to rent kayaks and boats.

We arrived at Dugi otok to visit the „ Strašna peć“ cave that is only a 20 minute drive away from our rental homes that we chose for their location, design and amenities. Since March is still cold at night we were very happy to find our home already warm so we had a quick recovery from the cold and rain that followed us. The next morning was even better since the view from our bedrooms and from the terrace at Regina House shows a spectacular view of the sunrise. The neighborhood is very quiet so we felt like we ere alone on the island, a true paradise. Our hosts were very welcoming, besides the warm house we were greeted with coffee, mandarins, tea, water and a Wi-Fi connection that was surprisingly fast and covered both houses, the terrace and part of the garden so we could get in touch with our friends and family while enjoying the outside air. Our hosts were also very quick to respond to our needs, bringing us salt and sugar that we forgot. The next day we found some locally made honey, olive oil and fresh fish that we prepared on our garden barbecue. We enjoyed a lovely dinner with perhaps a bit too much wine. Stigli smo na Dugi otok kako bi posjetili špilju Strašna peć koja je udaljena dvadesetak minuta vožnje od kuća za odmor koje smo izabrali zbog njihovog položaja, uređenja i opreme. U ožujku su noći još uvijek hladne, ali su nas obje kuće dočekale zagrijane te smo onako promrzli i pokisli imali vrlo brzi oporavak. Pogled iz spavaćih soba i s natkrivene terase Regina House u vrijeme izlaska sunca je spektakularan. Susjedstvo je potpuno neprimjetno, te smo imali osjećaj da smo sami na otoku. Kada smo došli dočekala nas je kava, mandarine, čaj i voda u bocama, zaboravili smo donijeti sol i šećer, ali je domaćin vrlo brzo riješio naš problem. Internet je iznenađujuće brz i pokriva obje kuće, terase i dio vrta pa smo mogli uživati u vanjskom zraku dok se javljamo obitelji I prijateljima. Drugi dan smo nabavili lokalno proizveden med, maslinovo ulje i ribu kod jednog mještana koju smo ispekli na gradelama u vrtu. Uživali smo u odličnoj večeri, jedino smo se malo preračunali u bocama vina.

This was the the first time I came to Dugi otok this time of the year (late March). We have chosen two houses (Aunt Regina House and Grandpa Mate House) in Dragove as a starting point for a bicycle tour to the Veli Rat Lighthouse on Saturday and to Lake Mir and Telaščica Bay on Sunday. The houses are situated at the top of the hill and offer a phenomenal view of the sea and the islands. The houses are obviously equipped for the use of the owners so that the entire equipment and all the furniture is far above the customary standard. Coffee, tea, water bottles and double towel sets were waiting for us, our host helped us to buy local lavender honey and allowed us to check-out at 5 pm! It was great!
