we have been to Croatia a couple of times and use holiday rentals as they have the best prices and locations around split. we chose to stay one weel in split city centre and a further week at Villa Sollis.
the villa was beautiful, clean, amazing view and great amenities. it was faultless.
the private beach, hammocks and pool are all smaller than we thought but absolutely stunning and very well cared for. the water is crystal clear in this area and the snorkelling was great.
the owners have a boat they let us borrow and gave us free wine as well! they were the nicest people and very helpful.
theres a lot to see and do in the area. would recommend the zip lining for great views and its fun!
the little town has some reasonable restaurants and the people are lovely. I don't understand why its not more expensive!

We really loved this villa. The view os stunning and peaceful, the apartment is clean, light and modern. The bed was really comfortable and the shower was great!
For most of the week we had the pool to ourselves, used the sauna and small gym but the best part was the little beaches with sun loungers and hammocks. The snorkelling here is incredible and the owners are happy for you to borrow their two man kayak and explore.
There are also several really lovely restaurants close by.
Makarska is about 30 mins drive away, it's ok, nothing very exciting but Omis is 20 minutes in the opposite direction (towards split) and it's lovely. You have to go zip lining of you go to Omis! The view is lovely.
The only downside is how far the apparent is from Split (50 mins) or Dubrovnik (90 mins) but if your going to vela sollis it's more about relaxing and spending quality time with loved ones. Also the owners are lovely, friendly and helpful!

My girlfriend and I visited Vela Sollis for a week and despite having returned only this morning, we have already recommended the trip to friends and family! The pictures do not to the apartments and facilities justice - as well as being all well maintained, clean and spacious, Vela Sollis felt modern without not fitting into the non-touristy Croatian setting. Being only 25 minutes from Omis (which has the river Cetina, a fortress, beaches, restaurants etc), 50 minutes from Split Airport and just over 1 hour to Krka National Park meant we were able to mix in a relaxing holiday snorkelling and swimming with seeing the tourist bits that drew us to Croatia. We would definitely recommend getting a car if you were planning to stay at Vela Sollis as it makes seeing more of Croatia far easier! Having said this, in the week we stayed alone we managed to find 3 local restaurants that ran free pick-up and drop-off services which was ideal for evenings out.

What really impressed us about Vela Sollis though was how helpful and friendly our hosts, Ana and Josef, were through our stay! From the bottle of wine on our first night in the apartment to taking us on a speedboat tour down the coast to a cliff-jumping spot to even offering us to stay another night, they were the defining feature of the holiday that made us want to return.

We will no doubt be continuing to recommend Vela Sollis and will hopefully be returning in the future as there was so much more in the local area we didn't have time to explore!
