If you want to be surrounded by mountains, five minutes drive from the beach, serenaded by crickets, sung to by swifts and wake to the sight and sound of goats grazing in the next field, then this superbly equipped villa with pool, bikes, table tennis, badminton sets, wifi, and excellent kitchen and laundry facilitiesis for you! Situated in the beautiful Konvale region, with its well developed agro-tourism, this villa offers a rural idyll for a family of any age. Our three late teenage children loved it. Peaceful and beautiful, Vitalinya is the last village in Croatia before you get to Montenegro (itself easy to access and full of lovely seaside places. You have to hire a car as the nearest supermarket is 15km away, although it is well stocked with friendly staff. Magibal medieval Dubrovnik is only 42 Km away, with all its attractions, and the roads are easy driving. The highlights of the stay were the frequent small coves with shingle beaches and perfect warm seas, peaceful enough to allow long distance swimming from early to late. An abundance of water sports in both Dubrovnnik and Catvat. Everyone we met in Croatia was so helpful, and the homekeeper responsible for looking after guests, Azra saric, was unbelievably supportive and helpful. My wife and our 19,16 and 14 year old would all be happy to return. We got the most rest and the best suntans ever. And if you ever want to know what medieval Europe must have looked like, a visit to Dubrovnik and an excursion to Ston and its fortified walls will take you back there. Magical, tranquil, modern and friendly, Croatia is an ideal holiday for couples, families, friends, food and wine buffs, outdoor sporting or sea enthusiasts. Cannot rate it highly enough.
