Restored 300 year old Villa, stunning views, idyllic location, large pool

There was plenty of space in and around the villa for all to find space, the air con worked well, beds comfy, sufficient number of loos for a full house, etc,etc.
For location, views, atmosphere, peace and tranquility it couldn't be beaten. We thought the locals charming and friendly, the local amenities ideal without being over commercilaised or developed, the local restaurants unpretentious, the water sports and windsurfing in particular, second to none. We thought the villa was just right distance up the hill for adequate effort, peace and seclusion but close enough to the seafront for convenience.
Fantastic, we absolutely loved it!

Can thoroughly recommend this property. We were two families holidaying together and there was plenty of room for everyone. Very well maintained and tastefully decorated; clean and well equipped throughout. The owner provided us with a welcome letter which gave us excellent advice about the best places to visit, restaurants, activities, etc. Last but not least, the views from the terrace were absolutely stunning - the photos simply cannot do it justice.

Along with 8 other very close friends we arrived at the Villa Vista with a delicious and fun lunch under our belts at nearby Ston for a week's R + R. And that is exactly what it turned out to be, and more! As with most photos, it is difficult to capture just how amazing the view is from the terrace - as far as the eye can see, sparkling sea with the hills and mountains of Korcula as a beautiful backcloth. The large terrace table hosted many a long lunch or dinner and the odd glass or two of excellent local wine and we barbecued fresh local fish a couple of times which was fun.

Inside, this old stone ruin (I believe an old mariner's home) has been skilfully and tastefully renovated to provide everything a large group or family needs during a holiday. A well thought out kitchen, large reception room (if you have to be inside) but does it ever rain? All the beds got rave reviews as did the ample, soft, comfortable pillows. The pool, reached by several steps through sensitively planted flowers and shrubs provided a relaxing area for all of us to swim, sun bathe, read, look at the views and share the odd cocktail or three!

The comprehensive “house book” provided us with all the information we needed to make our holiday very special – information about a day’s yacht trip, sea taxis to a terrific lunch spot with a fab bay for swimming, other suggested day trips, good local restaurants and recommended vineyards to sample the local wine.

All in all a memorable week not only because of the friends we were with but being in a villa that had been brought back to life with a creative vision for the future enjoyment for all. The owners are to be congratulated!
