Our stay at the villa was a blissfully peaceful retreat. We awoke to stunning views and surroundings we weren't expecting. We enjoyed being able to walk along hiking tracks right on our doorstep. Evening walks and the light quality at that time was truly memorable. Inside the villa we had everything we could possibly need for a relaxing, comfortable stay. The beds were heavenly as were the showers!! Outside the pool area was fabulous for soaking up the sun all day, but with poolside umbrellas for shade when needed. The sofa area outside was also a great place to relax, have breakfast etc. As for sunsets; the upstairs balcony was the perfect spot for watching the event over a game of Scrabble. We had a lovely holiday and our hosts Danijela & Vlado could not have been more helpful and welcoming.

We had a wonderful time staying at Villa Vedran. It is beautifully presented, with modern, stylish and tasteful interiors, fully equipped with everything required to make our stay comfortable both inside and out. The beds and pillows were really comfy, the bathrooms were gorgeous and the whole villa was spotlessly clean. Communication with Vlado was easy and he responded very promptly to all our queries and gave us some really useful tip/recommendations about things to do and where to eat etc. The villa is situated on a steep hillside which means the views down to the resort of Podgora and across to the islands of Hvar and Brac are stunning. Given the location I would say that car hire is essential. Vlado and Danijela were excellent hosts, checking in with us from time to time during our stay and nothing was too much trouble. Overall, a thoroughly enjoyable holiday.

Podgora Villa

We initially had some difficulties finding the villa, probably just not trusting the sat nav but a quick phone call to Vlado reassured us that we were on the right road. On arrival Vlado then showed us round his family holiday home and he and his villa typify the Spanish saying "mi casa es tu casa". The villa is spotlessly clean and also stays cool needing only a quick blast of the aircon in the bedroom at night on a week when the temperatures were in the low 30's. The villa is a little further from the coast than we perceived but in reality it is 7 minutes drive to Podgora beach. The plus side of this is equally it is very quiet. You'll get the odd hiker passing by on one of the network of hiker trails but apart from that the only noise is from the swallows flying around the property.A few quick recommendations; take the ferry from Drvenik to Hvar, about 4 each way as a foot passenger. Lovely and quiet, take the car to explore further.The restaurant at Hotel Medora on the beach does lovely food and has a nice friendly atmosphere. Also there is a quaint little restaurant on the road to Dubrovnik called Borovik, he only takes cash though.Vlado left us to our own devices during the week but answered any questions quickly over text or whatsapp.We will be back to Croatia and would recommend Vlado's villa

Fantastic villa with amazing views

A well equipped and presented villa with amazing views and fabulous sunsets. Peaceful setting 5 minutes drive up the mountain from the seaside town of Podgora with its crystal clear waters. The owners couldn’t be more helpful and have invested and produced a great place to stay adding a ground floor and enlarging the villa to include a third bedroom, small gym and second bathroom since we last visited. Would highly recommend.

Sensational

We just spent a lovely and relaxing 2 weeks in Villa Vedran in Podgora. The villa is really well planned and is spotlessly clean. We have been going on Villa holidays for roughly 20 years and this is one of the best we’ve been to for several different reasons. Vlado and Danijela were both amazing hosts. Communication was very easy and always prompt. Their recommendations for food, places to go locally and in Split etc were always spot on. They even helped me sort out a parking ticket which was very kind of them. Also the little details have also been thought through like having enough toilet roll, soaps and shower gels, salt, oil, charcoal briquettes etc. which are small but inevitably need to be bought if they aren’t supplied and they rarely are. The welcome hamper was also very classy and was much appreciated. The gym is really well equipped and there is plenty of outdoor seating. We spent a lot of time by the pool which is as inviting as the photos suggest. A car is essential but we did in fact walk to Podgora down some paths a few times. Walking back is a bit more challenging but only took 15-20 mins so is definitely a possibility if you are fit enough. Equally you can take a slightly longer route which isn’t as steep which only takes 5-10 mins longer. Podgora and Tucepi have good restaurants and we didn’t have a bad meal anywhere. This part of Croatia is beautiful and Villa Vedran was the perfect base for us. We’d be happy to go back there anytime.

Excellent stay in Croatia!

Thoroughly enjoyed our stay in villa vedran in Podgora. The villa was beautiful and very peaceful. Our hosts were super and available when needed. We had hoped to walk to town in the evenings to try the local restaurants but this is not advisable but is only a 5 min car ride down to the car park and you’re on the promenade. We dined in some lovely restaurants on the sea front and the sea was the clearest I have ever swam in. Croatia is beautiful and we would love to return one day.

Absolutely Beautiful!

We arrived late in the day and had some trouble finding the area as we were traveling to Croatia for the first time from New York. Vlad kept in touch with us by phone and met us up the hill as it’s a bit tricky if you are unaware of the area and the hills. This house is perfectly situated so that you have beautiful ocean and mountain views that include picturesque sunrises and sunsets. We were a family of 4 (2 girls aged 11 and 13). Vlad opened the home for us and gave us the keys as well as showed us around... (What a nice guy) Vlad also left us treats such as a bottle of wine, coffee, and cookies for the girls. He was beyond nice and letting us know to call him if we needed anything at all. The house was very modern, extremely clean and well kept. The kitchen was well equipped that included supplies such as spices, sugar and olive oil and of course a dishwasher. There was a washing machine that came in very handy. The pool was right in the front of the home with views of the hills and the ocean in the background, it truly looked like a portrait everyday. We loved the pool!!!!! If you want to avoid the crowds and congestion at the Main Street areas of Podgora and Makarska (towns next to each other) this was the perfect setting. We truly fell in love with Podgora and the historical areas nearby such as All Saints Church and other monuments. This area and home were truly nostalgic and words cannot express the experience we had during our vacation. We will truly miss this place until our next return.

Wonderful villa with great views

The villa is located on the mountainside above coastal Podgora, a car is essential. The villa was spotlessly clean, well equipped and had stunning views of the islands beyond. The Owner, Vladimir, couldn’t have been more helpful and was available during our stay to answer any questions. The pool was great for an early or late swim in a fabulous setting. We loved our time there and would recommend highly to anyone looking for a villa in this attractive area of Croatia.

Lovely villa, lovely view, great facilities and spotlessly clean.

Really lovely very well appointed villa - nicer than the photos suggest. Lots of really nice touches - e.g shampoo/conditioner, shower gel , beach towels and plenty of bath towels provided. The view is stunning and lots of seating areas outside to make most of sun/shade as required. Good communication with Vlado who provided prompt responses to questions and recommendations for good beaches and restaurants. Car essential and driving to villa does involve a very steep and windy climb up . No restaurants within easy walking distance unfortunately.

We are just back from Croatia, having spent a lovely week in the Vedran villa. The villa is extremely well equipped, spotlessly clean. Vladimir and his family welcomed us warmly, Vladimir took the trouble to come and fetch us from the main road! Every day, we could enjoy a superb sunset from the terrasse! It is a good base to visit the area. We visited the Biokovo mountains, a must for gorgeous views, Markaska is worth a visit. We found lovely beaches, in particular the Cuban back in the Brela direction. Quieter than most in the area!
