Host profile image
We are Excelsior Villas, a Croatian luxury collection redefining high-end stays.
Our mission is simple — curate the most cinematic villas across Dalmatia and Istria, where every guest feels like the main character of their story.
We handpick each property for its soul, design, and view, then pair it with world-class service — from private chefs to yacht charters.
Hosting isn’t our job. It’s our art.

Why they chose this property

We chose Podstrana for its rare balance of peace and proximity.
Close to Split’s energy, yet wrapped in calm and sea views.
It’s where Mediterranean charm meets total privacy — the perfect setting for the Excelsior Villas experience.

What makes this property unique

It used to be a school in the 18th century, now converted in your private mansion.
