Peaceful Villa with Stunning Views
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.

Wow! This villa is truly superb….everything is 5 star! The location is so peaceful/tranquil and the views are outstanding! Cleanliness throughout the Villa is excellent and very well equipped. And of course the amazing host Milan is at hand to settle you in and ensure you have all the information you need to make your stay the best! We loved visiting Podgora and making so many memories! I would highly recommend this Villa.

A beautiful place to relax and enjoy the scenery
We spent 2 weeks at the villa and enjoyed it immensely. The pool and outside area are beautiful and we made full use of the BBQ area. The views over Podgora are stunning with some amazing sunsets. There are other villas around but privacy was never an issue. There is some road noise from the main road through Podgora but not intrusive. The AC in the villa was an absolute must for the night time. The beds are very comfortable and the villa has all the amenities you could want. Milan was a lovely host full of lots of info. We cooked with his organic olive oil and used tomatoes and herbs from the veg garden. We also loved the rose wine his friend produced and which was available at a very reasonable price. Our first holiday since Covid and we couldn’t have chosen a better location or villa.

Amazing
We are a family of four, who wanted total seclusion, privacy and luxury. Which is what we got and more. Vedrana & Milan have thought of everything in this villa, right down to lighting and a really fully equipped kitchen (including sharp knives - who has ever rented a property with decent cooking knives??) We were able to relax totally - the beds were comfy, the pool was wonderful, the villa was spotless and Vedrana and Milan ensured we had everything we needed for day trips - even arranging us a little skippered boat for the day - which we can't recommend more highly, it was a wonderful day. Podgora itself is charming, Small enough to be quiet and friendly, but large enough to have a good selection of restaurants and coffee shops. My husband hired a bike to ride to the top of the mountain and used 'Podgora Puls' bikes in the village. Fantastic service from Ante there, so do please use him if you want to hire a bike. We had a wonderful meal at Roko. I highly recommend the sharing steak platter. The olive oil factory that you drive past on the way in to Podgora is really worth a visit. We have rented many villas over the years, and Villa Oliva is definitely the best we've ever stayed in. Vedrana & Milan are hard working, thoughtful hosts, and it really shows in the quality of everything in their villa. We really hope we'll be back one day.

Fantastic in every way - 6 stars
Adriatic sea in the front, mountains in the back and olives trees all around in the neighborhood. Fantastic place with an exceptional high standard, lovely atmosphere and every detail taken care of.

Beautiful property, views unsurpassed. My family of 5 and our parents (total 7) stayed here comfortably for a week. We came during a heat wave, but the air conditioning in the bedrooms kept them icy cold. This lovely couple were available at a moments notice for any need- making reservations for dinners, a private boat tour, and even rushing to the house to unlock a door one of my children had unintentionally locked behind them. So quaint being able to pick your own veggies for cooking. The memories of dinners on the patio watching the sunset will stay with me for ever. Thank you for sharing this lovely home with us!

Amazing villa - beautiful peaceful location
This villa is beautiful- the hosts were wonderful - they go above and beyond to help you. The grounds are gorgeous- sea and Mountain View. There is a heated pool which the kids loved. Great exploring in the local area and the Biokovo Park is only a 5 min. drive. Only 1.5 hours from Split and 1.5 hours to Mostar. Perfect for families and couples or friends - such a wonderful place with wonderful hosts!!!

Stunning, beautiful, perfect vacation home
I can't say enough good things about our week long stay at Villa Oliva. The villa is beautiful, the grounds are more lovely than the pictures and Milan and Vedrana are wonderful hosts. They walked us through the property, gave us advice on where to eat, day trip excursions and were available at any time for questions. We cherished our week of relaxing on the grounds of this beautiful home, with no neighbors close by and a beautiful view of the Adriatic. Don't look any further than this beautiful, lovely home for an amazing week in Croatia!

Beautiful home
Spent a week at Villa Oliva and couldn't be happier. The villa is meticulously kept and has everything you need. Vedrana and Milan are wonderful hosts. We arrived extremely late but they still met us - showed us the ins and outs of the house and even bought basic groceries for us. The kitchen has everything you need and you don't even need to go shopping for wine! The pool is wonderful and the views are amazing; wonderful sunsets every night. The town of Podgora is very family oriented and quiet which was wonderful. The house is also fairly centrally located to many cool day trips. Dubrovnik is a bit of a drive (over 3 hours) but very worth a day trip. Thank you for a great stay.
