About this villa rental
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

The Villa was beautiful with plenty of space with older teens. Wonderful views across to Hvar and Brac. A joy to open the shutters every morning! The drive up from Podgora is very windy with lots of hairpin bends. It is not an easy walk to the village especially in the heat and the walk back is very tough. It took about 20-25 minutes. There are a few other villas nearby but we were not overlooked. Kitchen was well kitted out including plenty cleaning products.Check-in and out was very easy. Davor, the host, was very helpful when we had questions. We had a bit of a situation away from the villa one day and we reached out to Davor for assistance. He was very responsive and helped us resolve things quickly.

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.

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!
