A House That Felt Like A Home

Our stay at Villa Palma was truly magnificent! We came hours late and despite it being almost midnight, Niksa and Sanja (the owners), were waiting at the front door ready to greet us. The first note is the incredible hospitality from the owners. They checked up on us regularly, cleaned the house, and advised us on where to eat and visit. Secondly, the property is truly a spectacle to behold. The pictures online do not come close to how beautiful the surrounding sights are. A valley of green surrounds the sapphire blue bay with nothing but a relaxing silence all around even though the main town is a 2 minute drive away. Furthermore, the town was populated with restaurants, a grocery store, a beach, and various excursions such as jetski and boat rentals. The outdoor area of the villa had an infinity pool, 8 sunbeds , and 2 large beds set to watch the incredible sunsets that fall into the sapphire blue bay's horizon. The sunbeds and pool were surrounded by orange trees which enhanced the aesthetic of the property. If that's not enough, there is a path from the villa going downwards to the coast of the bay. There you will find a gorgeous private beach for Villa Palma only. The beach contains a diving board, a small pool created from seawater coming in from a stream, and a large area to sit and rest. There is also a paddle board ready upon arrival to explore the coast even further. As you go inside the household, you will see a a gorgeous kitchen and living room. The kitchen is fully equipped with good quality kitchenware one would need, a dishwasher, a large fridge, and a freezer. The living room is connected in an open space with a large couch and television. As you move forwards you will find the bedrooms. The beds are very comfortable and the closets contain plenty of space. The bathrooms are modern and very roomy. Two of the bedrooms come with balconies that face a stunning view. Overall the bedrooms were incredibly clean and well kept. Downstairs, there are also 2 laundry machines and 1 dryer. The area is also close to other destinations such as Dubrovnik and Montenegro, so your stay at Villa Palma would surely not be dull. Moreover, we are definitely coming back. If it were possible we would rate this property 6 stars! Thank you Sanja and Niksha !!!

What makes this property unique

Built in the early 20th century by local farmers, and surrounded by two hundred olive trees that have stood since the 1700s, this family home was, and remains, a source of authentic wine and olive oil, a tradition kept alive by their descendants, and whose products you can taste to this day.

However, we are inspired by a combination of traditional and modern sensibilities.

Follow a hidden path to your private beach, carved into the rocks, and with a natural sea pool for children-all exclusively for our guests to use.

No neighbouring houses at this beach — no disturbances — no distractions. Some of our guests would describe it as privacy at its finest — a bit of paradise all to yourself.

And so, after almost 90 years, Molonta Estate has undergone a complete 3-year renovation, retaining the same size but boasting a swimming pool and a modern, new interior.
Molonota Heritage Estate is an excellent choice for true hedonists, for guests who do not agree to compromise.
