Interview with hosts: Villa Furešta on the island of Pašman has been successfully operating for its fourth season thanks to a different approach to tourism

Beautifully designed Villa Furešta has found its place in the sun on the island of Pašman. It was completed in 2019, when it welcomed its first guests. This is its fourth season, and the owner, Mr. Ivan Božić, predicts exceptionally good occupancy. He says that even the previous two seasons marked by the pandemic were not bad, considering that the house is located on an island.

Since we are on an island and isolated from other tourist properties, during the pandemic seasons (2020 and 2021) we achieved good financial results considering the circumstances. In the upcoming 2022 season, we expect occupancy of more than 150 days.

Digital marketing from the very beginning

Digital marketing played a major role in this, and they invested in it right from the very beginning of their business.

From day one, we have been aware of the importance of digital advertising. While browsing online, we liked Apartmanica’s website work and decided to have our website made by them. From the first day until today, the cooperation has been excellent, and we would recommend them to all accommodation providers. What we would especially highlight about Apartmanica is the feeling of an individual approach and maximum dedication to every client.

A villa that does not fit the average

Villa Furešta is located on the edge of the village, where it offers its guests complete freedom, whether they choose to enjoy the villa itself or explore the island and all its charms.

It can accommodate up to 8 people, and pets are also welcome. We were also interested in the meaning behind the villa’s unusual name.

On our island of Pašman, and we believe more widely as well, a furešta is a woman who married into a place she does not come from and is a little different from other women. From the very first ideas, projects, construction, and the relationship with tourists, Villa Furešta did not fit into the average way of thinking about the vision of tourism on the island.

concludes Ivan Božić.

That Villa Furešta is truly different from others is also shown by its constant investment in quality, maximum use of the advantages of its location, as well as the island’s still relatively undeveloped tourism. A satisfied guest and a positive attitude are some of the owner’s most important guiding principles.
