About this villa rental
The lovely Dalmatian villa is located in the middle of Dalmatia between Split and Dubrovnik in the Makarska Riviera, in an idyllic town on the slopes of the Biokovo mountains, with a breathtaking view of Podgora and the islands around it. It is about 300 m above sea level. In the background, the massif of the Biokovo Range extends with its steep slopes and the gentle foothills, full of green olive and fig trees. Go biking or hiking through the Biokovo Natual Park, some 2 km away. Just relax and soak in the town's atmosphere, surrounded by the aromas of lavender and rosemary. Enjoy the lovely sunsets and the starry night sky far away from the tourist masses. In this idyllic town on the slopes of the Biokovo Mountains, you can enjoy the pool or the four balconies with a view of the sea. It is situated in a peaceful surroundings, not far from the town church, and was built in 1905, and subsequently renovated with much attention to detail. The rooms are large, with traditional stone walls that give off a special ambiance. Each room has a balcony or terrace, where you can enjoy a sunset with a good glass of wine. The large, rustic kitchen is on the ground floor, with a lovely garden and a 25-m2 pool . With a gorgeous view of the sea, 4 sunny terraces, a private garden with a pool and BBQ, we offer you peace and relaxation, near the beach and the Biokovo Mountains Natue Park.

What an incredible place to stay!We met the host, Manuela, at her nearby home who led us by car to the villa. She gave us a lovely tour of the house and she was incredibly welcoming and friendly, including leaving us various welcome gifts of delicious locally sourced (and family-made!) food and drinks. The villa was beautiful, exceeding all expectations and equipped with everything we needed, including towels for both bathroom and pool, and a very helpful folder of tips for shopping and trips in the local area. Manuela gave us lots of information too, and was happy to message us during our stay with queries we had- so helpful.The kitchen was well appointed and we also cooked on the barbeque outside a few times.The pool was a lovely size and well maintained. There were several very comfortable seating areas inside and out (including a very popular hammock!) as well as lovely bedrooms and en-suites, all pristinely clean.The views from the villa were breathtaking. It was truly incredible to wake up to every day.A short drive to the very pretty town and then a short walk from the car park next to the sea led to stunning beaches with excellent snorkling! Lots of choice for food in the town and beyond, all with gorgeous sea views.The children all had a fabulous time, as did the adults! We were sad to leave- it really was the perfect choice for our holiday with friends and family.Thank you so much Manuela! Truly a holiday we will treasure the memories of forever.

We had the best time at Villa Lavanda! This home is fabulous and has been meticulously renovated - it felt so special to stay here; a true Dalmatian gem!
Manuela was a lovely host, super attentive and friendly. She set up a baby crib for our daughter and was always available via text.
Highlights: AMAZING POOL and Garden, very large comfortable bedrooms, 5 min drive to Podgora beaches, gorgeous sunsets and unreal views of Croatia from any of the FIVE balconies.
I hope I can stay here again some day in the future!

Travel Date - August 2018This is a lovely quiet getaway from the crowds, but located close to the small resort of Podgora. Podgora has everything you need in a holiday resort with lots of sea sports, good restaurants, shops and places to drink. It proved to be an ideal base for our family holiday (group of 6) but you will need a car. There is a path down to Podgora, not signposted but once found it is easy to walk down, pretty steep and takes around 25 minutes. We did walk back up once but it was hard going, especially in the heat and far better to get a taxi!The Villa itself is set in a small group of homes. Behind are some holiday apartments and next door another apartment, and the village is tranquil and very quiet. The inside of the villa is beautifully decorated, spotlessly clean very comfortable, a home from home. It has everything you need including towels and basic toiletries and kitchen essentials. The views are simply spectacular including the beautiful sun sets falling behind the island of Brac. The outdoor area has lots of sunbathing space (4 loungers and deckchairs) and the hammocks are a great addition. Again spotlessly clean. The pool isn’t heated but this was very welcome given the temperatures and the cleanest pool we have ever had. Manuela is the perfect host, nothing was too much trouble and was so helpful in booking several trips and excursions.This villa comes with our highest recommendation and we would love to return in the future; and finally thank you Manuela for allowing us to rent your home and provide a perfect vacation.
