A carefree holiday for parents: a private nanny at your villa

Villa Calma II from above, with its pool, lawn and private garden

Planning a family holiday sounds idyllic, but every parent knows the reality: a holiday with small children is often just looking after them in a different place. Between meals, packing for the beach and keeping watch, there is little time left for what you came for: real rest, and each other.

What if this year you could have both? A holiday your children enjoy, and time that is finally your own. With a private nanny at the villa, that is possible.

A nanny at the villa, on your schedule

As a guest of Villa Calma I or Villa Calma II you can ask us to arrange a professional, carefully chosen nanny who looks after your children in the privacy of your villa.

The service is flexible. The nanny fits your schedule and the rhythm of your family. While the children play in the shade of the terrace, draw, or enjoy activities suited to their age, you can do what you like, with an easy mind.

What a day can look like

A quiet morning coffee. While the nanny takes over the morning play, or a short walk by the sea, you drink your first coffee in peace beside the pool.

Dinner for two. Would you like to try one of the fine restaurants in Zadar, such as Foša or Kornat, or simply have a quiet dinner together? The nanny stays with the children, reads them a bedtime story and settles them in their own room.

A day of adventure. Climbing in Paklenica National Park, or a full day by speedboat through the canyon of the Zrmanje, can be too much for very small children. Leave them at the villa, fed, happy and cared for.

Safety and trust

Where children are concerned there is no room for improvisation. The nannies we work with are carefully checked, speak English or German and have years of experience with children. Your children stay in the private setting of the villa, with attention and plenty to do.

A stay at Calma is planned so that every member of the family gets the most from it. The children take home summer memories, and you go home rested.
