Sea View, Private Heated Pool, 5 minutes to Beach, Peaceful Nice Villa

.

Lovely villa, ideal location and great correspondence from the host!

Super

A little upset in that the photos of the en-suite bathroom were not quite what they seemed. Very very tight and smell coming from the drains. Coffee machine didn’t work, villa felt like it wasn’t really ready for guests. Tiny pool towels, only 2 chair covers for pool chairs, pool edge was green. The outside shower didn’t work, grass wasn’t cut. There was a dead rat in the garden and cats outside crying night and morning. As I’ve mentioned just felt like it wasn’t really ready for guests. Plus note that air conditioning was great, the outside table was great for sitting under and washing machine was good. Private parking was a bonus too

We really enjoyed our stay in Podgora. The Villa has excellent outside space with a great terrace and the best pool we’ve ever had! The pool got the sun all day and was a lovely temperature. We had fun with the tide machine. There are stunning views of the sea and the mountains, plus ripe figs from the fig tree. We counted 119 steps down to the front, popping out next to Roka restaurant (very good and beautiful to eat right next to the sea). You can go right to the very pretty marina, and further round to Plisivac beach (our favourite, get there early for good spots under the pine trees, and try Bistro Luce for lunch). Going left takes you to the main beach where you have inflatables, parasailing etc. But still with a very relaxed quiet vibe. Lots of places to eat (we thought the food in 2 Monkeys was the best), including pancakes and every ice cream flavour. There were hardly any other Brits which personally we enjoyed! The weather was mixed, we had a bit of rain most days, and a few thunderstorms, presumably due to the proximity to the mountains. In between it was pretty scorching so we didn’t actually mind a bit of respite. And it does mean it is very green. We didn’t enjoy Makarska which we found to be quite down market compared to Podgora, and extremely chaotic in the evenings with constant busy traffic along the main tourist streets. We visited for the supermarket and found Plodine to be the best. We would definitely return to Podgora, which we loved, and we don’t think you’ll find another Villa with such a great private pool so close to the beaches and restaurants.

We spent with our 3 children nine days in the lovely villa. Especially the kids enjoyed the pool and the roof terrace. The Location was great and everything as described. Thanks Iva for the good Service.

Grwat location, super villa, good sized pool. Near to the road, but a good compromise if ypu want to be walking distance from the beach and restaurants. Owners were very kind and helpful. Split airport is 90 minutes away

This is a nice, well equipped modern villa. It is well suited for couples or pairs of couples. Two nice size double bedrooms one with on suite. It is located at the top of hill (approx 118 steps) which may prove difficult for less mobile people. There is off street parking and the local beachfront cafes and restaurants are accessible if you need to use a car with parking at 10 Kunas per hour. (About £1) We really enjoyed our stay here and would definitely recommend it.

We chose Podgora this year, on account of bringing along our son and his fiancée, who both enjoy snorkelling. Podgora has a reputation for offering good snorkelling possibilities. And so we needed to find a nice house, and fell for Iva Pezers villa. And boy, did we find the spot we were hoping for! One step through the gate and we were blown away. The views over the Adriatic Sea in one direction and the Biokovo mountain range in the other is breathtaking. And inbetween, there´s this absolute gem of a house, with a glistening blue pool set among lemon trees. One hundred and twentyfive steps will take you down into Podgora centre with it´s many restaurants and cafes. Trekking back is slightly tougher, but hey - the stairs lead up to heaven, so what´s the problem? The house itself is immaculately clean and has everything you could possibly hope for with a well equipped kitchen and cool, airconditioned spaces including a beautiful sitting room and two spacious bedrooms, each with their own bathroom. Outside, there is a large patio that is quite problematic - it will have you thinking that you may want to spend the entire holiday there, under the gorgeous shades, instead of venturing out to see a bit of Podgora. The solution is to have looong breakfasts and coffee breaks before undertaking such adventures. We established a kind of rhytm along the way. It was much like the slow, leisurely pulse of the Adriatic Sea. We did that breakfast, and then we took to the beaches to the north, secluded and less frequented, had some nice snorkelling there, came back, had a shower and a dip in the pool, then back we went to the beach... It is a kind of life that one can get used too. And no house can offer a better backdrop for this kind of existency than this quaint and stunning villa. Unless you have a very good excuse not to or unless we have re-rented the property - go there!

We stayed here with our two young children and loved every minute. It’s in an ideal location with easy access to the Main Street/beach using either steps or a road (with pushchair). A welcome walk after a nice lunch or dinner. Pool was welcoming although the weather wasn’t warm enough to use it as much as we’d like! Overall, we couldn’t have chosen a nicer place to stay during our first visit to Croatia.
