The house was extremely comfortable, with big rooms, kitchen, light and everything you need to cook. Soft wall colors and original old fashioned furniture made the stay very pleasant.

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 originality 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. The sleeping rooms are equipped with queen size beds, high quality mattresses and cable TV. 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 House Aunt Regina 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. The ferry port Brbinj is 8.5 km away and it is connected three to four times a day with Zadar.The house and the village are an ideal place to stay for those wanting to escape from the crowds. Dragove is in the middle of Dugi otok, a perfect place for families with children as well as bikers, hikers and joggers. Well known sandy beaches Veli Žal, Sakarun, the imposing lighthouse Veli Rat and the Nature Park Telašćica with the entrance to the National Park Kornati are 5 to 25 min ride. The nearby island Mezanj and the underwater grotto Brbinjšćica are attractive diving destinations.The parish church of St. Leonard is located on the top of the hill in Dragove fom where you can enjoy a unique view of the Zadar Archipelago.
