About this property
Luxury seafront villa, stunning sea & harbour views, on unspoilt island of Vis
Villa Riva is a beautiful, four-storey 200 year old Venetian villa, set on a small square facing the lapping waters of the Adriatic. It accommodates 6-8 people, and offers stunning views of Vis and its harbour from all the bedrooms and terraces. At once luxurious and relaxed, it’s a perfect getaway for those who love the beauty and history of Europe, crave the relaxation of a seaside location, and want a comfortable, private retreat from which to enjoy it all.
Villa Riva sleeps 6-8 people with all the amenities you could possibly need for family and friends seeking a carefree, coastal European holiday.
It is an old house, in the beautiful Venetian-style architecture of Vis, which has been stylishly renovated to a high standard.
The top terrace offers breathtaking views over the picturesque bay of Vis with its monastery, islets, harbour-side yachts and the turquoise Adriatic sea. Once you have enjoyed an evening drink watching the sun set over the far side of the bay, you’ll never want to leave.
The two large bedrooms, one on each of the middle levels, have similar, stunning harbour views, and there is a second, vine shaded terrace off the lower bedroom. You can choose a king-size bed or twin beds in this room. The third twin bedroom is on the ground floor with its own en suite.
Also, if desired, there are two high quality sofa beds that can accommodate 1-2 more people. However, please be aware that this does take up the living space and is not very convenient.
There are three bathrooms, one next to each bedroom on the two middle levels, each with a toilet, shower, basin and bench space, plus an ensuite bathroom adjoining the ground floor bedroom.
There is a washing machine and dryer in one of the middle-level bathrooms.
The top level has a fully equipped kitchen (full size fridge, stove, microwave, toaster, cookware, utensils, cutlery, crockery) if you can’t bear to leave our beautiful house and want to self cater more extensively. You can eat on the balcony terrace while enjoying stunning views of the bay.
There is WiFi throughout, free of charge.

About the host
Hosted by David
We are two Australian families who love travel, good food, and relaxed times with family and friends. Vis is 30+ hours away from Australia but, for us, it is worth every minute of the trip. It’s an escape “far enough to the middle of nowhere to be worth getting to”, “the place where life takes over…”.
Our love affair with Vis and Villa Riva started when we first visited in 2006 as two couples. Nine years, eight visits, and four children later, we decided to buy our own slice of paradise, purchasing the very first villa we stayed in. We want to share the house, and this special island, with guests from all over the world. We hope you enjoy the experience as much as we do time after time.

Why they chose this property
The name Villa Riva refers to its unique and spectacular location on the Vis harbour front, the 'riva', using language that reflects both the Croatian and Italian heritage of the house.
There are three main villages on the island – Vis ‘Town’ and Kut are on either side of a fabulous C-shaped bay on the northeastern coast, while Komiza, a fishing village, is on the far west side of the island. The mountainous interior is scenic and well worth visiting.

What makes this property unique
The island of Vis is one of the few genuinely unspoilt islands in the Mediterranean with no high-rise hotels or resort ‘owned’ beaches, yet it has a sophisticated Dalmatian culture and excellent food. Conde Naste describes it as “as impregnable as a Bond villain’s lair and as beautiful as Capri before the tourists.” It is increasingly popular having been featured more recently in travel press, but tourism is very controlled, and Vis still retains it’s ‘hidden’ quality.
