Villa Mate is a small, family-run business with heart. It originated from the great hospitality of Mate and Filomena Petrović.

Long before the first holiday apartments were built, their house was a place for gatherings. Family, friends, and acquaintances were always welcome, and there was much laughter, conversation, and time spent together. As sociable, down-to-earth people and passionate hosts, Mate and Filomena always knew how to create a warm and relaxed atmosphere where everyone immediately felt at home.

Her deep connection to this place, to nature, to the sea and to the people of the region has shaped her from the very beginning.

From these many wonderful encounters eventually arose the idea of expanding their private home and creating holiday apartments. True to the motto: Do what you do best. For Mate and Filomena, this meant sharing their natural hospitality with others.

The holiday apartments were born from the shared vision of Mate and Filomena Petrović. With great dedication, patience, and attention to detail, they built this house step by step. For both of them, it was far more than just holiday accommodation – it was a passion project. This place was always especially dear to Mate; he loved the house and the encounters with the people who came together here.

Hospitality here is not just a word, but an attitude. It means being close to people, listening attentively, and making guests feel truly welcome.

Over the years, we have welcomed many people from different countries. Some encounters led to loyal regular customers, others even to true friendships. It is precisely these special encounters that make up the most beautiful part of this story.

As a family, we continue to run Villa Mate with the same warmth with which it all began. We are delighted to pass on the warmth that has always characterized this house.

Thus, Villa Mate remains a special place to this day - where guests become friends.
