LOCATION DETAILS :
Dalmatia and Makarska Riviera are known for its sparkling sublime coastline, romantic dreamy port towns and charming countryside. From trendy and bohemian beach clubs to undiscovered picturesque villages, this part of Croatia offers a perfect blend of modern hip and old-world charm.
Relax on beautifully unspoilt pebble beaches fringed by pine forests and swim in crystal-clear Adriatic Sea. From Roman Palaces to Gothic architecture, there are layers of history to unfold and discover.

This beautiful property was well equipped and very comfortable for our group of 7 friends. The views were spectacular and the pool so nice to enjoy after a day seeing the sights. We hiked, tasted wine (very nice welcome bottle from Milan and Vedrana) and i couldn’t recommend this place more!and

We have just returned from a lovely 2 week stay at Villa Olivia. This is the place for total peace. There are no near neighbours. The villa is as described. Milan takes enormous pride in his property and communicates well at all stages of the booking and the stay. He makes every effort to ensure you have everything you need. The villa and grounds are very clean and comfortable.
It is perfectly possible to walk down to Podgora, about 30 minutes, but take the taxi number with you from the info folder. (Unless you are really fit!) There are a number of good restaurants and bars in the town. Milan will recommend.
We would definitely recommend this place.

An absolutely beautiful villa for those who enjoy peace and tranquility with Amazing views. Very friendly helpful hosts.. facilities were amazing , everything you need was available. I would say a hire car is a must! Only a Short drive to plenty of lovely restaurants but not really walking distance. Would love to return

We have been on villa holidays for the last 12 years and Villa Oliva is by far the best villa in which we have ever stayed. The villa has everything, is extremely quiet and private, in a stunning location with wonderful views. It is really stylishly decorated and well equipped and a lot of thought and attention to detail has gone into making it so homely and comfortable. Vedrana and Milan are excellent hosts and went above and beyond what we would normally expect to ensure that we had everything we needed and that we had a wonderful holiday.The pool is a lovely size and is well maintained and clean and sits in front of the villa which is set amongst olive groves. The town of Podgora itself is lovely with plenty of good restaurants and a few really pleasant cocktail bars. We ate out most nights on our two week stay and every meal we had was of a high standard ( our top recommendations being Roko, Nolto Bene and Konobo Klemic. ) Vedrana and Milan kindly recommended a taxi driver who we used each night to take us down into the town and bring us back and he was very reliable. We had a really wonderful holiday and hope to return to Villa Oliva and Podgora one day. We highly recommend this villa and would like to express our thanks to Vedrana and Milan for their hospitality.Fearghal, Miriam, Ellie and Luke Bergin
