Grandpa Mate House, authentic charming house from 1930.

Back in 1930, after leaving Dragove to work in New York , grandpa Mate built a beautiful house opposite the old one in harmony with nature surroundings. Almost 90 years later we’re following the very same path of grandpa Mate by retaining the authenticity of the house and combining it with modern retro comfort. Grandpa Mate House is based on Dugi Otok at the edge of the village Dragove. The house was completely restored by its it`s current Croatian and American owners in 2010. It has a fully equipped kitchen with a gas stove and refrigerator with mini freezer, wooden stairway, a large hallway and two sleeping rooms in the first floor and spacious bathroom and a hallway in the ground floor. CableTV.
The sleeping rooms are equipped with queen size beds and high quality mattresses. All windows are protected with a built-in, solid and easy to use mosquito net. Running water in the home is used from the water tank, which is located under the ground, filled with rainwater.On the ground floor there is a living room with the kitchen, bathroom and a hall. On the first floor there are two bedrooms and a hall. The house is air-conditioned.
A spacious stone courtyard is shared with Aunt Regina House dating from 1882. A stone barbecue in the shade of a sixty year old fig tree and an outdoor dining table make space for a comfortable dining. Two houses can accommodate 10 guests. There is a parking lot for four cars in the back yard

Lovely stay
We were only able to stay for one night but found the house to be clean, comfortable and very well equipped with everything we could possibly need. The host was very accomodating. We only wish we were able to stay for longer!

Highly recommended, if you are looking for a comfortable vacation on an island off the tourist hype
Our family stayed at Dugi Otok in August and we had a great time at the house of our landlord Goranko. It is located in the village of Dragove high on the island. In the village, people have lived for a long time from agriculture. Because that was so hard, many emigrated in the past century, also Goranko's ancestors. Today Dragove is a tranquil village overlooking the Adriatic Sea with many cats, a tiny village shop. In the morning the baker with the delivery van looks over. Goranko's houses are completely renovated. Everything is modern, tastefully decorated and comfortable, nothing is broken. There is air condition as in most houses. The kitchen is well equipped, the bathroom, laundry and towels were great. Cleaning staff shows up regularly, so everything is very clean. If you do not want to break the connection to the media world, Smart TV and cable TV are available. There is a freezer with fish from the fishing neighbor Anke at reasonable prices. You can prepare it in an extra grill house and enjoy it on the stone table in the yard. Gorankos really stands out for his great care. Should something not work, he will take care of it personally. You can always call him if you have questions about staying on Dugi Otok. My conclusion: insider tip! Highly recommended, if you are looking for a vacation on a quiet island without tourist hype.
