IMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR ALL HOLIDAY-MAKERS:
As you are aware, the properties that Luxury Villas Zilic offers are not official tourist
structures, such as hotels, residences, etc. but private houses. Being such, they do not have
standards or categories that are internationally recognised, indeed they reflect, in their
architecture and furnishings, the local traditions and the personal taste of the owner. This is
precisely the kind of holiday that Luxury Villas Zilic offers: the chance to partake in the
culture of the area chosen, living for a few weeks in the same surroundings as an inhabitant
would. In order to live this experience in the right spirit, it is important not only that the
holiday-maker accepts but also that he will be able to appreciate the differences in the
properties Luxury Villas Zilic is proposing in comparison with those where he normally lives.
For its part, Luxury Villas Zilic has carefully chosen such properties using a minimum and maximum quality range within which it believes that any European and indeed a citizen of the world can find total satisfaction. Luxury Villas Zilic cannot however exclude the possibility that these differences can sometimes result in minor inconveniences – due to the special nature of its architecture and of traditions in the area – but which cannot be accepted as complaints.
