About us - The family behind Villa Apricot
Hello and welcome to our world – probably the craziest and funniest group running a holiday home in Croatia! We are an Austrian-Croatian family who loves their beautiful Villa Apricot more than anything and thinks it's a shame to leave this little gem empty most of the time. That's why we decided to share our little paradise by the sea with others. A vacation for you – joy for us!
Our family - your local team
Milenko
Our dad, Milenko, makes sure everything runs smoothly. He's officially retired since 2020 – but resting is just not his thing. Milenko takes care of everything that breaks, needs repairing, or could simply look a little better – and believe us, there's always something to do! He also handles all the paperwork with incredible calm and patience. You can rely on him 100%. And if you ever feel like playing a game of cards – Milenko is your man!
Diana
Our mother, Diana, is the heart of our family. With her warm and loving nature, she brings everyone together and ensures that no one is forgotten. She thinks of everything—from the smallest details to the biggest plans—and always puts others first. Whether it's a family celebration, a guest request, or simply a fond memory: Diana is always one step ahead. She also brings everyone together in our family business, ensures harmonious coexistence, and always has an open ear—for guests as well as for us. Thanks to her, our family feels like a true home wherever we go.
Mateo
Mateo, our eldest son, is the family strategist. Nothing happens by chance with him – he plans everything meticulously, ideally three steps in advance. Technology and organization are his great passion. Without him, our Wi-Fi in Croatia would have crashed long ago, or our automated check-in system would have driven us crazy!
Believe
When Tin, our middle son, gets started, sparks fly! As a car enthusiast and practical problem solver, he masters even the most complicated projects in record time. Technology isn't a challenge for him—it's pure fun, as long as there's action. He also loves to talk, so a good mood and entertainment are guaranteed even during the toughest tasks.
Marino
Our youngest brother, Marino, is the sportsman in the family. His schedule is always full, yet he has everything perfectly under control. Marino loves clear rules and order—that's why everything runs like clockwork for him. We often joke that he's the smartest of us all—and secretly, we know there's quite a bit of truth in that.
Hard
And last but not least: our Aunt Lile. She is simply the kindest soul and the ray of sunshine in our family. No matter who needs help, Lile is there, often before you even realize you need it! Hiking and nature are her great passion. And if you're looking for the most beautiful trails or hidden spots in the area, no one knows better than Lile.
