About this property

WHAT TO DO
Taste Dalmatian flavors, enjoy the beach at late summer, get on boat and splash into the warmest and most crystal water on the Mediterranean. Or just breath mountain air and take its water from healthy natural springs. Or relax at your private, heated pool after exploring old Dalmatian villages, cultural heritage of Split and Dubrovnik and national parks of Kornati, Krka, Mljet or Plitvice (approx. 2 hours drive taking the most beautiful Europen highway "Dalmatina").

JUST FOR YOU
Besides enjoying the villa and our standard upscale services (a team of 3 persons will take care of you during your stay, while free wifi, air condition, washing/drying machine and private heated pool are the for your comfort), we treat you at the local gourmet ROKO restaurant. You may want to take a speedboat ride along the coast or a full-day excursion to nearby islands or prefer to meet the culture and go on excursions. We are at your disposal to make it possible at supreme quality and best local rates - just let us know, we will surprise you! And your pet will enjoy, too!

THE VILLA INSIDE & OUTSIDE
Contemporary villa in Upper Podgora Old Village, surrounded by olive trees, beautiful lawn and Mediterranean vegetation - lavender, rosemary, immortelle. Outdoor lounge and heated swimming pool are situated in backyard overlooking the area, thus keeping intimacy.
The villa consists of 2 individual units/apartments connected with outside stairs but it is rented only as one property offering thus complete privacy. Each unit consists of 2 bedrooms (accommodating 3 persons per unit), bathroom, fully equiped kitchen, dining and living room, and spacious balcony. Free Wi-Fi, closed garage and 2 parking places included. Outdoor amusement for kids is also provided. And your pet will enjoy, too!

LOCATION
Podgora is a well-know fishermen village with only 2.500 inhabitants but showing important historical, cultural and natural heritage: beautiful catholic church 250 years old, school 200 years old, foundation of Navy in 1942. It is located at walking distance to Biokovo Nature Park and its amazing botanical gardens and cultural heritage, offering stunning views to the islands and being a hideaway for a relaxing family retreat. The best Adriatic white pebble beaches and crystal blue sea water are just 5 minutes drive but you can also remain at your private and heated pool enjoying the breeze and overlooking the waves. If coming off season, do not miss Biokovo trekking trails but beware if wanting to climb to Saint Jure at 1.762 m hight. But if coming late summer, enjoy picking figs for your breakfast. Throughout all seasons, fresh mountain air and fragrances of Mediterranean gardens will awake your senses.

Nice location but not a serious hirer (owner) - not to be recommended!

The location pretty nice, picture shows well the house but be aware of: there are to apartments but the same size. Apartment on the second floor smaller (about 30% less space). Hirer not a serious person - after our stay he found some extra damages, which we were not responsible for and not really happened. Unfortunately there were no check in / out protocol, although the person the gave us the keys confirmed everything was ok by giving back the keys. At the end we have been claimed for issues that are not the truth. Be aware of this and insist on signed protocol after checkout !!! We do not recommend this offer.

Excellent place for a family to spend vacation

A very nice place to stay for vacation. It was very clean. The property is split in two, one apartment with 2 bedrooms on each floor so fit for two small families. Ground level has an indoor garage but we always parked outside in the small yard, no need to put the car in. Both apartments have an open-door kitchen fully equipped so you can choose to prepare your own food. Both apartments have a terrace where you can have breakfast or lunch facing the sea. In the afternoon it can be a little hot as it is facing towards west. But there is a retractable pergola that can help (we never used it). The pool is wonderful. It is heated (though the water temperature varied while we were there between 26 and 29 degrees). Both adults and kids loved it, it was wonderful to play in it all day long. There is a person checking and cleaning it every couple of days so it was simply excellent. To be just perfect maybe it would have been good to have a bigger bath (though the one upstairs it was bigger compared with the one in our apartment). And to be closer to the sea. If you are with small children and looking for going to the see you need to go by car every day - this causes a small issue as parking places close to the beach are limited. There are about 4-5 km down to reach the sea. And down is easy, back it would be a not so nice one hour (at least) walk in open sun. For us though it was not a problem as our goal was to stay close to the pool most of the time. The support from hosts was excellent. The owner sister waited for us until late in the evening when we arrived and showed us everything. Starting the second day we had the support from the nice Gabriela, the concierge, who checked that we had everything and helped us whenever we needed something. Last but not least, if you plan a trip to Biokovo skywalk the location is very close, just 5 km up from the villa. Overall, I am rating this place with 5-starts. It was more than we expected for our vacation.

Lovely apartments

The apartments were great, really well set up with a lovely terrace and pool. Our host Gabriela was super helpful but never too intrusive and Podgora is a lovely, friendly seaside town with plenty of good beachside bars and restaurants.

Just perfect!

Our first holiday in Croatia but definitely not our last. I can’t recommend this property and location highly enough. We were looked after from the get go by lovely Gabi who ensured we wanted for nothing. Great communication but not intrusive which was important to us. The property was spotless and extremely comfortable. Lovely pool and Podgora is a vibrant, safe and extremely friendly village with an infectious buzz. Finally, THOSE VIEWS! I’m missing them already! Thank you Ivan and Gabi for a perfect holiday. 😊

About the host

Hosted by Ivan Kresic-Juric

We are happy to host you at Villa Dalma - a holiday villa built years ago at my grandfathers's birthplace - Podgora at Makarska Riviera. You will be received with warm welcome and we promise to make perfect every detail of your holiday. Look forward to meet you soon!
As tourism professional, I spend years exploring the globe and it helped me realize how much I love to be a good host to guests from all over the world and make them see the beauty of my country!

Why they chose this property

Yes, you may find a more beautiful house, even in close neighbourhood. Or better prices. Or location. Or...
But it is all about people - they make the difference and it is the service and great care you will get during your stay that would make you have a memorable holiday.
Besides great reception and concierge services, you may count on cleaning of the villa and pool area each 2 or 3 days, at your convenience. We don't want you to feel only like at home but even more relaxed, doing just nothing and enjoying the holidays you deserve!
