VILLA HERITAGE -100 year old villa with pool and stunning panoramic views

100 year old recently renovated villa with pool with stunning panoramic views.
The villa was chosen by British 'Sunday Times' to be amongst 100 most beautiful in Europe. Published in 'Design & Arhitecture'. The Villa Jan which dates from the 1890s, is an ideal location that offers magnificent view of the sea and amazing sunsets. It is located inside the old upper Podgora village but at the same time it is totally secluded, thus guaranteeing absolute privacy to its visitors. This Villa has been designed aiming to offer the ideal accommodation solution to people who set high standards with respect to their vacations, people who wish to combine relaxation at an idyllic spot with adventure as well as comfort with luxury. It is definitely not for those who seek to enjoy the intensity of night life, to mingle in the noisy swarm of tourists and to visit luxurious shops, and night clubs . This Villa will take you on a journey to discover the unspoiled Dalmatian landscape, to discover enchanting secluded beaches, to get to know its people and to charge your batteries and to find relaxation and serenity in nature The architects used dominant design elements such as-stone, wood and iron, strong and dynamic materials that have given a distinctive aspect and character to the building allowing for an exceptional architectural design,-- the light that gives an outdoor aspect inside the house through spectacular openings and offers magnificent view of the pool, the garden and the sea; the sound of the water creates a sensation of serenity and relaxation by itself; at the same time, it offers continuity in the view of the sea and the horizon.-- Together with the terrace with stunning view of islands Bra, Hvar and Pelješac; the veranda, the patio and the pool, the Villa has something from the aura of a Roman mansion that stands still in absolute harmony. Behind the property, is the 8m x 3m swimming pool with roman steps,shower and sunbeds; at one end is wooden decking with outdoor chairs and steps that go up to an upper terrace with panoramic views, at the other end is another terrace with a barbecue plus dining table and chairs for outdoor dining in the most idyllic

Rural Idyl
Beautiful and calm villa with outstanding view in a rustic setting. We loved walking through the olive groves to Podgora harbour. Turn right at Marina and go round the corniche to white pebble beaches, shaded by pine trees and a lovely taverna.

Fantastic property with plenty of space. The views from the sun deck, the main bedroom and the living area were unbeatable. All facilities were excellent. Needed the air con as we were there in the heat wave. There’s a walkable path to Podgora, which took about 30 mins, but was quite a steep walk back.

Nice house in a quite place
Old nicely built and renovated house few minutes drive to the beach and the small city. The pool is wonderful for the kids (and adults). The serious problem is the only one air conditioner which is not sufficient to cool the place, especially when the air temperature was 34 degrees.

Second Visit at Villa
Everything about the villa is just the best. The villa itself is amazing .. Every corner with its beautiful touches, restored properly to every single detail.The villa is spacious, tastefully furnished, very well equipped. The gardens and pool area are delightful. The living and dining areas are perfect for a family, with loads of space to rest, relax and cater. There is an outside dining area which enables you to take advantage of the lovely weather, dining al fresco. Views from the upper terrace overlooking islands are amazing. Thank you Davor for a most wonderful vacation destination and experience. Highly recommend this place for any trip to Croatian coast.

stunning location
The villa is nestled amongst other old rustic buildings and has panoramic views of the beautiful coastline and marina. The villa is well equipped and designed to a high standard. We loved the open plan kitchen/lounge area and really enjoyed alfresco dining by the pool.

Lovely villa with amazing sea views
We stayed 2 weeks at the villa with family of 4 adults and 1 child. The villa is really well equipped and beautifully designed inside and out. The bathrooms are extremely well presented. The pool and outside spaces are well maintained and the sea and mountain views from the roof terrace are spectacular. We spent every evening up there to take in the beautiful sunsets. It was extremely hot during our visit and although the house has air conditioning, there is none in the bedrooms which made nights rather hot especially in the master suite. Otherwise we had a very enjoyable stay in the villa and would highly recommend it.

This Villa is just incredible! Delicious holidays for all our family!
This place is just incredible! Time flied so quickly when we were at the Villa. It was delicious to spend our holidays in this villa. We loved it, we felt so well! We enjoyed everything: the garden, the pool, the terrasse for sunsets, the place to eat outside, the main room, the bedrooms, the details in decoration everywhere in the Villa, the light in the house when it is so shiny outside and we just let the shutters almost closed. The incredible view on the Adriatic. You felt all the traditions in the villa, mixed with all the top confort. Beds are excellent! Bathrooms huge and very comfortable. So perfect!!! Thank you Davor for all your advises for restaurants, places to visit, and your kindness. We will definitively recommend your Villa to all the person wanting to discorver Podgora, Split and Mostar regions. Very easy from this place. Our teenagers loved the Villa and the region, we had the chance to appreciate all sea activities in Podgora, also Biokovo park just behind the Villa. Do not hesitate, come and discover it!

Perfekt
Wir waren acht Tage im Haus und es war herrlich. Das Haus ist sehr liebevoll restauriert, die Einrichtung ist stimmig und es fehlt an nichts. Der Aussenbereich ist perfekt und man hat eine wunderbare Aussicht. Die Kommunikation mit Davor lief ausgezeichnet und unkompliziert.

Von wegen luxuriös…. ?!?!?
Villa Jan liegt in den Bergen oberhalb von Podgora. Die Anfahrt gestaltet sich recht schwierig, aber nach einiger Zeit kommt man mit den engen Straßen am Hang gut klar. Außen befindet sich ein Pool und eine Terrasse mit Blick über das Meer, was man als gut bezeichnen kann. Die Liegen und Schirme sind alt und haben ihre besten Zeiten hinter sich. Die Beschreibung des Hauses zur Ausstattung ist alles andere als zutreffend. Man sucht die Designer Möbel, die Klimaanlage, die leider nur im Wohnzimmer vorhanden ist. Wenn es warm ist, ist es nicht möglich zu schlafen. Der Rest des Hauses ist nicht klimatisiert, die Möbel alt, abgewohnt und alles andere als bequem. Die Sauberkeit lässt sehr zu wünschen übrig!! Schimmel im Kühlschrank! Der Vermieter lebt in Zagreb und wenn die Dame für die Reinigung kommt, muss man anwesend sein. Alles in allem viel zu teuer für das was es bietet!!

Sehr schöne Villa, in toller Lage
Wir waren Anfang September mit unseren zwei Kindern da. Die Kommunikation mit Davor war immer sehr nett und Fragen wurden schnell und kompetent beantwortet. Die Villa hat einen tollen Pool und auch der Stil wie das Haus gebaut und eingerichtet ist, hat uns sehr gefallen, genauso wie der tolle Blick aufs Meer. Insgesamt ein super Aufenthalt, wir waren sehr zufrieden!! Eine einzige Kleinigkeit, die wahrscheinlich alle anderen nicht so stört war der Grill.. für mich als begeisterten BBQ Fan, war der Campingaz Grill, wo die Brenner und die Regelung nicht mehr gut funktioniert haben eine kleine Enttäuschung. Ein günstiger Weber Gasgrill, oder sogar ein einfacher Outdoor Grill mit Holzkohle hätte mehr Spaß gemacht. Aber wie gesagt, vielleicht spielt das bei anderen keine so große Rolle und alles andere, war wirklich perfekt, daher auf jeden Fall empfehlenswert und alle Sterne!! ;-) Davor thank you very much for all!

Traumhaftes Ferienhaus in toller Lage
Es hat an nichts gefehlt!!! Die Villa und der Garten sind mit Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet bzw. angelegt, so dass man jeden Urlaubstag genießen kann. Besonders positiv, die verschiedenen Sitzecken/Terrassen im Garten für Sonne oder Schatten, Privatsphäre oder Meeresblick. Drumherum viel Ruhe und Natur, Möglichkeiten zum Wandern in den Olivenhainen. Zum Meer ca 45 min zu Fuss und den Nationalpark Biokovo auch gut erreichbar. Es hätte nicht besser sein können! Freundlicher und zuvorkommender Vermieter, der für Fragen telefonisch immer erreichbar war. Thank you, Davor! It was a great and amazing stay!
