Once again, Zadar County has recognized and awarded excellence in family tourism, and this year’s title of Best Holiday Home for 2024 proudly goes to Brankica Dubravica from Stankovci.
Brankica earned first place thanks to her dedication, warm hospitality, and the exceptional quality of accommodation offered at Villa Grandfather’s Courtyard – a beautifully restored stone house nestled in the heart of the Ravni Kotari region.
This charming villa is much more than just a place to stay – it is a true experience of the Dalmatian hinterland. Guests are greeted with the scents of tradition, the peace of nature, and local products from the family farm. The perfect blend of rustic charm and modern comfort makes Villa Grandfather’s Courtyard a truly special destination for travelers from all over the world.
The award Brankica received was part of a public competition organized by Zadar County, where an expert committee selected the best hosts across three categories: holiday homes, rural households, and sustainability. In addition to the prestigious title, the winners also received a financial incentive totaling 12,000 euros.
At the official awards ceremony held at the Zadar County Hall, County Prefect Božidar Longin emphasized the importance of a serious and responsible approach to tourism:
“We want to thank everyone who, through their hard work and vision, is raising the quality of our tourism offer. Tourism must not be mass and unplanned – we need quality, authenticity, and sustainability. And that is exactly what you represent.”
Brankica Dubravica and Villa Grandfather’s Courtyard perfectly embody this vision – where hard work, attention to detail, and genuine hospitality transform every stay into an unforgettable experience.
