Me and my boyfriend have just returned from a week holiday at villa julio and I couldn't recommend it enough. We pretty much had the whole place to ourselves as I think September is considered out of season. The apartment itself is definitely better than the photos and the Balcony and view is absolutely amazing. One of the things we miss the most! The second bedroom links to the lounge so if you are 4 people it would make the lounge a bit on the small side but still adequate. The pool is gorgeous and tennis court is great. Josip lent us rackets and we played most days, the court is in a great condition. The whole grounds of the block of apartments are so well looked after, beautiful olive trees, mandarin, pomegranate trees, turtles and all looking over the sea. Really stunning setting. Yes there definitely is a bit of a hill climb back up to the apartment from the seafront but it's not that bad and we need the exercise so wasn't an issue for us.
Josip was great and really helpful, he organised us transfers (which were quite expensive given the journey time but very convenient!) which was a great help.
Location wise, we loved it. The apartment is literally 5 mins downhill to the sea front and I actually loved the beach closest to the apartment. The water was crystal clear, absolutely gorgeous. The beaches are shingle but it's quite fine so isn't painful to walk on particularly and means that the water is just so beautiful. It's just a short walk to lots of bars and restaurants however these were very quiet in September so we usually got a boat to trogir in the evening or walked to Seget old town (about a 20min walk in the other direction) which both had more going on. Trogir is much more touristy with loads of restaurants and yachts! The old town in Seget is a sleepy fishing village which is really lovely and has a few restaurants which get quite busy, Antonio's was our favourite, it's tucked away in the lanes and has the most amazing food. We met a couple in their who had eaten there 5 nights in a row!
We did a boat trip to split and also the 3 islands boat trip, both from Seget, outside hotel medena, just 10 min walk away. Highly recommend the boat trips, the islands were AMAZI NG and definitely the highlight of my holiday!
I couldn't recommend this place highly enough. We had a perfect week and fully relaxed which was exactly what we needed! It was very quiet in the evening but I think that's because it's September, a bit further afield there w
