If you intend to explore Croatia don't stay here, because you won't want to leave it!
5 minutes by car up the hill between the Biokovo mountains and the small town of Podgora, this villa has stunning uninterrupted views over the town and the sea to Brač and Hvar islands, and right up the coast to Split. The complex is divided into two 2-bedroom 2-storey properties joined by the 1.6M pool terrace. If you only rent one part, the other part will not be rented out, so you will not have to share the pool. Alternatively, both parts are available for larger family groups.
Spotlessly clean, well-provided with kitchen appliances and utensils, satellite TV has BBC World, CNN, and many foreign stations.
The very helpful English-speaking owner lives above the other part of the complex, and he will keep the pool clean daily. We picked grapes and figs on the property, which also has two further levels containing a complete outdoor kitchen with barbecue, floodlit tennis court, gym, table tennis table, and even a crazy golf course. The area around the villa is very quiet and oeacefull, and it has access to country walks.
Built on the hill, the property is on several levels joined by steps.
Podgora has many restaurants, a mini-market, tourist shops, easily accessed pebbly beaches, and a flat beachside promenade. A large supermarket is 15 minutes by car near Makarska. Smaller seaside villages are within easy reach by car, and secluded pine-fringed beaches can be found if you are prepared to walk to them.
The coast road is good, but you will not be able to hurry anywhere as it is only single lane and mostly 60 Km/hr.
We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend Villa Podgora
