Beautiful country home
My stay at Villa Zizzy was wonderful. It was conveniently located for Lake Plitivce and the apartment comfortable, well appointed and very well maintained. Zdenka, my host is fantastic. Overall, I had a great, although short stay.

Lovely home near Plitvice Lakes
This was just perfect for our needs. We were visiting Plitvice and needed a comfy place to rest our heads after a long day of hiking. The owner was very responsive and even recommended a great restaurant for us. It was so good we had dinner there twice -- Bistro Plum - check it out!

Amazing stay
This cozy home had plenty of space for my two teen daughters and myself and was incredibly comfortable and well-appointed. We have traveled almost exclusively through VRBO for 12 years and this has been one of our favorite stays ever. The home is in a quiet yet convenient location, with very comfortable beds and bedding, thoughtful storage, and welcoming and soothing decor. Zdenka, the host, is a proactive communicator and ensured not only that we were comfortable and had everything we needed, but was very helpful with ensuring we had information to make the most of our time here. Our only regret was we were not staying longer.

Plitvice Launching Pad
My friends and I had a wonderful stay at Zdenka's home - she made us feel very welcome, gave us great advice for how to enjoy Plitvice and was very responsive to any need we had. The home was very comfortable, with nice bedrooms and a full kitchen that we took advantage of. We also found many nice restaurants very close by. Grabovac was a beautiful town in the Croatian countryside, a perfect place to be so we could explore the area. We were only a little sad that we had such warm weather because we couldn't use the cozy fireplace...highly recommend the area and staying at Zizzy's!!

Cozy Cottage in Great Location
We greatly enjoyed our 8 night stay at Zdenka's cottage, a stylish and well equipped apartment featuring a large garden shared with Zdenka & her dog Zizzy who both live upstairs. Zdenka warmly welcomed us and our two dogs with a festive happy hour to enjoy local liqueur, beer & wine, while sharing lots of insider information about the local area where she's from. As we stayed for some time, it was great to have access to a washing machine (extra charge). Heating of the apartment is via the fireplace and Zdenka supplied ample firewood to ensure a comfortable stay. Highlights of our visit of course included the Plitvice Lakes National Park, a day trip to the riverside town of Bihać in Bosnia and exploring other local sites suggested by Zdenka. Highly recommended!

CHARMING LOCAL VILLA
After arriving by plane in Zagreb and driving south 2 hours, this area was our first introduction to Croatia. Zdenka had left apples from her tree and homemade brandy for us to try. It was a lovely welcome! This home has direct and quick access to Plitvice Lakes which is the main reason we visited this area. The apartment is very clean and cozy. And in the event that it is needed...there is ample wood to burn a fire. (In October the nights and mornings were already a bit chilly.) Zdenka is a wonderful hostess and is readily available when needed. We throughly enjoyed are stay in Villa Zizzy!

Very quiet, clean, comfortable and nicely decorated house, very warm welcome by Zdenka.
Everything was perfect in this house for the one night stay of our family of four. It is nicely decorated. We had nice and clean sheets and bathroom towels. The kitchen has all the equipment you need. The living room is very comfy, with a nice fireplace. Zdenka welcomed us with a great smile and some "Shnaps" (or rakia?). She was very helpful and responsive. And of course the house is ideally located, less than 10 min drive from the lakes. A place we recommend without hesitation. Thank you Zdenka!

Great place stay for a Visit to Plitvice Lakes
Great little 2 bedroom 1 bath first floor house. Unfortunately Zdenka was unable to meet us, but Christina her friend was more than adequate. She welcomed us as soon we arrived. Walked us through the entire house explaining all of the operations for all the amenities. She also gave us recommendations for both dinner and breakfast. She provided great insight on when and what entrance to visit the Plitvice Lakes. House is easy to find and has parking right in front of the house. I will definitely recommend this house to my friends that plan to visit this area in the future. Great Job to both Zdenka and Christina.

Great Find Near Plitvice Lakes National Park
What a treat to find this wonderful apartment and the owner, Zdenka. To begin, she waited for us as we were running late, and took time to orient us to the apartment and the nearby Plitvice Lakes National Park, which was our primary destination. The National Park is only a short drive from the apartment and Zdenka’s suggestion for driving above the largest falls afforded us some wonderful vistas that most visitors never see. The apartment is large, with two bedrooms, and a wonderful wood burning stove which we enjoyed during the cool evenings and mornings. Being well furnished with a good-sized kitchen, the apartment had everything we needed during our visit, including secure, off-street parking. With her many years of experience in the hospitality industry, Zdenka has a wealth of knowledge of things to see and do in the surrounding areas. We are so glad we selected this property for our visit.

Für kurze Aufenthalte ok.
Kleine Wohnung mit netter Vermieterin, großem Grundstück und netter Terrasse. Leider fehlt hier wirklich die Klimaanlage, es ist in der Wohnung kaum auszuhalten. Die Vermieterin hat drei Ventilatoren in die Wohnung gestellt, die liefen sogar Nachts. In einem heißem Sommer nicht auszuhalten. Die Küche war gut eingerichtet, es fehlte an nichts.
