Beautiful House

We had a beautiful week in Manuelas House. So very clean, well decorated, nice and cozy. Delicius treats upon arrival. Thank you so much. A lovely pool and flowet garden and a stunning view from the bed rooms over Podgora and the sea and Islands. Missed an owen in the kitchen, but found other ways to cook our meals on the grill outside. This holiday House gets our best recommendations👌

Perfekte Unterkunft vor traumhafter Kulisse

Wir waren zu ingesamt 8 Erwachsenen in der Villa und hatten mehr als ausreichend Platz, sowohl in den Schlafzimmern (mit jeweils eigenen Badezimmer) als auch in den Gemeinschaftsräumen. Jedes Schlafzimmer hatte ebenfalls einen eigenen Balkon mit fantastischem Meerblick. Hier kann man traumhafte Sonnenuntergänge beobachten. Es war alles super sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet, es hat uns wirklich an nichts gefehlt. Die Gastgeberin Frau Vela war sehr herzlich und hat uns sogar noch mit leckeren, selbst-gemachten Köstlichkeiten überrascht. Sie war jederzeit sehr gut erreichbar. Die Lage der Villa im Berg war für uns ideal, ausreichend Privatsphäre, als auch wenige Autominuten vom Strand bzw. der Promenade in Podgora entfernt. Darüber hinaus gibt es einige schöne Wanderrouten, die man in der Gegend machen kann. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen gerne wieder.

Familienurlaub und Podgora

Wir, d.h. meine Frau, meine zwei Kinder (neun und elf Jahre) sowie ein befreundetes Ehepaar haben in diesem Gästehaus 14 wunderschöne Tage erlebt. Das Haus ist sehr sauber und mit allen Annehmlichkeiten ausgestattet. Alle Räume sind sehr gut ausgestattet, Klimaanlage, eigenes Bad und was man sonst so braucht. Der Außenbereich ist ebenfalls sehr schön gemacht, der Pool ist sehr sauber und ausreichend tief. Zu sagen ist noch, dass im Pool meine Kinder nicht stehen konnten, somit muss man schwimmen können. Sitzgelegenheiten sowie ein großer Esstisch hatte für uns sechs Personen völlig ausgereicht. Zum Strand muss man mit dem Auto schon 5 Minuten einrechnen, hierbei hat man aber auch die Möglichkeit gleich an andere Strände als den von Podgora zu fahren. Supermärkte sind gleich in Makarska, circa 15 Minuten mit dem Auto. Manuela die Gastgeberin ist absolut zuvorkommend und war stets für Fragen zu erreichen. Kurz um wann kann das Haus nur empfehlen!

Dream villa in the old town

This was a perfect villa for two families to relax in Croatia. The outdoor area and pool were the highlight with plenty of shade and a fantastic swimming pool. Bedrooms are large and airconditioned and the house is set on four floors which gave everyone privacy. It's in an idyllic old-town setting next to a beautiful church and has fantastic views across to the neighbouring islands (plus a stunning mountain backdrop). The local town of Podgora is smaller and a lot nicer than Nearby Makaska (which was very busy and touristy) and we found some really good restaurants on the harbour. Highlights for the kids were diving from the harbour, the inflatable aquapark on the beachfront, a boat trip to nearby islands, and the trip to the mountain Zipwire. Manuela was an excellent host and on hand to answer any questions. We were grateful for a plate of local meat and cheese and delicious homemade wine which greeted us after a long flight. She also changed the bedding and towels halfway through our stay, which was appreciated. The only slight drawback was the 10-minute drive to the town on a winding road with steep drops. We soon got used to this. Overall, we thoroughly recommend this villa and the host Manuela.

About the host

Hosted by Manuela Vela

My name is Manuela, and I live in Croatia, the most beautiful part of the earth! I grew up in Germany, where I went to elementary school. In my free time, I like to paint, read, and -above all- travel! I love old things and make my living renovating them. Many of the items are on display on the house for you to see. My entire family works in tourism. As well as Villa Lavanda, we rent seaside apartments and own a ship with which my husband and son lead day trips to the islands of Hvar and Brac. Of course, our own guests get 10% off these tours. We love nature and produce out own hand-picked olive oil, wine, schnapps, and local liquor.

Why they chose this property

Villa Lavanda was an inheritance from our grandfather. He spent his entire life in New Zealans, working as a Gumdigger to build the property. My husband and I have lived in the house and have renovated it with plenty of love. You'll notice :)

What makes this property unique

Villa Lavanda is in the area of some of the best-known tourist attractions of the area: Dubrovnik, Split, Mostar, Zadar, Krka waterfalls,the Biokovo Mountain natural park, and Hvar, Brac and Korcula Islands. Our house is just a couple minutes' drive from the sea, yet in a very peaceful and romantic area. It is not far from the town church, and was built in 1905 and renovated with much attention to detail. The rooms are large, with traditional stone walls that give off a special ambiance. Each room has a balcony or terrace, where you can enjoy a sunset with a good glass of wine. There is also a lovely new pool with enough recliners.
