Villa stunning views swimming Pool, Tennis Court, Mini Golf Course, full aircon

We absolutely loved our stay at Villa Emilia. Michaela and Stephen are such nice hosts. A car is probably needed, because there is some distance to the nearest supermarket, but if you have a car, then you can reach a number of large supermarkets within 15 minutes and the parking facilities to the villa are excellent. The distance to the beach by car is a bit shorter. The wifi was not perfect, but we mostly used our data on our mobils and Michaela and Stephen would look in to an upgrade for future stays. Because of the views and the pool we just spend most of our holiday at villa. Big recommendation.

Overall a great stay. Some issues with bathroom and power but owner attended to quickly. The facilities of the pool, tennis court and mini golf kept my teenagers busy while wife and I loved the sunsets. Just a friendly note to maybe provide more amenities but otherwise great stay and owner and his wife are wonderful people.

Lovely villa with amazing sea views and very friendly and helpful hosts who live next door. The villa has a pool, tennis court and six hole golf course. We had to restrict play to the evening as it was so hot in August. The villa was spotless and air con very good. We had a few issues with wifi connectivity but it didn't spoil our stay. Stephen and Michaela were very helpful with local recommendations of where to eat etc. Dubrovnik and Split well worth a visit, especially if you are Game of Thrones fans. Local beaches very good and water beautifully clear. Would definitely recommend but you need a car, it's a very windy road uphill!

The house is in the most perfect position for watching the sun setting over the islands. The house was spotless and Stephen was a perfect host with lots of local information. There are numerous coves to explore where you can often find you are the only people. The village on the coast has lots of restaurants along the sea front offering fresh sea food. The scenary is stunning and it's worth driving up into the surrounding mountains. We had an extremely relaxing holiday with just the right amount of lazing around doing very little and exploring the area.

The villa was spotlessly clean and well equipped and has a great new pool for 2016. Uninterrupted views from the patio of Podgora harbour below, Hvar and Brac islands in the distance and the Biokovo mountains behind (the kids thought it was a green screen video effect!). The owners live next door and attend to the pool daily. Stephen's a fountain of local knowledge and helped with suggested outings to Dubrovnik, Split and Trogir. Podgora is within a 3 minute drive of the villa down a steep and windy road, has plenty of places to eat and boat trips are available to the local islands. All this and tennis and mini golf - what more could you want? We couldn't recommend this villa and the region highly enough.

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
