Restored 350 year old Villa, stunning views, idyllic location, large pool
Villa Vista is a fantastic location for larger group holiday - whether that is two families, a multi-generational celebration or group of friends looking to reunite.
Over our 11 years of holiday letting we have hosted weddings, significant birthdays, university reconnections, international family reunions as well as plenty of one family and smaller groups escapes. Regardless of the make-up, all have been left with fond lifelong memories based on the brilliant experience the Villa delivers and the wonderful place that is the village of Viganj.
The Villa is also a superb example of how to restore a magnificent 350-year-old stone house to its original grandeur together with all mod cons, high comfort level and a wonderful large pool in an outstanding setting.
The Villa's large inside and outside spaces mean there is a ton of room for the whole team to be together and equally, the opportunity to find somewhere quiet for a snooze or read.
There are a number of good bistros nearby but if you enjoy shopping for local produce and cooking up a storm, the Villa’s kitchen is set up for you. A large 120 cm oven and 5 gas ring hob is complimented by an amazing stone open BBQ with all the equipment you need to prepare a fantastic meal which can be shared on the terrace taking in the breath-taking views over the Adriatic in the shade on an invariably warm day, or under the stars at night.
In summary, Villa Vista the perfect tonic for the stresses of modern life.
Sitting above the village of Viganj at the tip of the Peljesac Peninsular, the amazing views from the large terrace and large swimming pool take in the length of the island of Korcula and its vineyards, and the beauty of the Medieval Citadel of Korcula Town across the sparkling crystal-clear waters of the Adriatic – and this with the sea just 250 meters from the terrace steps.
We also have access to a second villa that sleeps 8 acting as an ideal overflow for larger events.

Magical villa on the Adriatic
We had a wonderful stay at the Villa Vista.
The position of the property is amazing - nestled in trees with a stunning view across the sea to Korcula.
The internal layout of the house is really great and very spacious, although we spent most of our time on the balcony enjoying the views.
Jane & her team were a pleasure to deal with, helpful and quick to respond to any queries.
We'll definitely stay again.

Our first time in Croatia and certainly won't be our last. This was a pandemic delayed vacation to celebrate a couple of milestone birthdays for a group of 8 persons ranging from 20 to 50+. Villa Vista is the perfect venue for a big group as the property is large and the swimming pool seperate allowing privacy and space, plus a short walk to the beach and very clean, crystal clear sea, restaurants and beach clubs gives another dimension. Pictures do not and cannot justify the breathtaking views from the top terrace and pool terrace. Jane the owner has clearly made this a home from home with very nice touches all round, comfortable large beds and a reallty well-stocked kitchen for the evenings where you sit and simply enjoy the sunset on the terrace. The information provided is really informative and helpful and the local network of contacts, Josip, transfers /taxis /wine tours / Ivan -fastest and nicest water taxi in the area, Sanja who will come and cook a local and lovely meal at the villa, all really nice people who only add to and enhance the holiday experience. Young or old you will not be disappointed.

Beautiful house in a gorgeous location....
We loved staying in this historic property overlooking the ocean. The pool and the patio were lovely and everything needed for a relaxing and enjoyable stay is available. We really enjoyed having space for our three adult children to spread out. Many thanks again to Jane and Craig!

A Great House in a Great Location
My family and I spent eight nights at Villa Vista in Viganj in early June, 2021. Villa Vista is an excellent villa in a beautiful location. The views of the Adriatic Sea and the island of Korčula were incredible. The natural beauty of the well maintained grounds and the outdoor dining and grilling area were alone worth the cost. I enjoy being outside as much as possible and I certainly enjoyed cooking and dining on the patio while enjoying the views and all that nature offers. I spent a lot of time in the patio area and never tired of the views and natural ambiance.
The interior of the villa was excellent as well and made for a comfortable stay. The kitchen was well stocked with everything needed for feeding a family of five, Everything worked fine and there were no problems.
Viganj is a beautiful area. It is and up and coming area for sure.
Not as sophisticated as other locations in Western Europe but quiet and peaceful. The locals were mostly friendly and spoke good English. Crime is virtually non existent, I marveled at the number of bicycles, some of them fairly new and pricey, just leaned up against trees unsecured. I would not do the same in my community despite living in an upscale area in the US. The spirit, toughness and openness of the Croatian people really impressed me.
Overall, I think the villa and the Viganj area are very good value for the money and I highly recommend. The area really is unique and beautiful. The architecture, although not quite up there with nearby Italy, is very beautiful and unique. There are a few beautiful churches located on the cliffs above the sea that are definitely worth a visit. If water activities are your interest, this place is a paradise. Other than surfing, you can almost do it all here. The kite surfing is incredible here and the kite surfers were fun to watch. Just a really beautiful and fun place to be.
Finally, the owners are stand up people. They were very helpful and quickly resolved a minor issue we had without any
drama. I enjoyed doing business with them.

Incredible View!
We just returned from a week at this wonderful property. It was very spacious and well equipped for our family of 4 (two adults and two children aged 11 and 8). It could comfortably have taken another family. The road to the house and walk up from the beach are steep but nothing difficult and the payoff is the, really quite astonishing, view from the terrace - the best of any villa we have ever rented.
The owner was responsive, friendly, and helpful and gave some really great recommendations for shopping, dinner and things to do.
The beach in Viganj is quite windy and choppy - but using the recommended water taxi is a snap and good value. Korcula town on the boat is 15 (very fun) minutes and the fabulous beach restaurant Estravaganca was a similar trip for the cost of a London Uber.
Pool was clean, perfect temperature, and we spent a lot of time lazing by it. The bedrooms were all spacious, clean and cool with AC. Kitchen and BBQ had everything we needed.
Brilliant villa.

Beautiful location but drive up to house is tricky. House itself is lovely and garden and terrace outside lovely though could do with some better shading. A microwave would be a useful addition in the kitchen. Wasps around pool made it almost unusable which was a pity but I think that's just the season and the vegetation. Hire a RIB in Orebic and explore the smaller islands off Korcula, including picture-perfect bar/restaurant on Stupe! Water clean and warm, scenery amazing, people friendly and helpful but no sense of trying to extract money from you. All in all, a great holiday and a lovely villa.

Beautiful property with spectacular views
Jane’s villa is quite simply fantastic. The rooms are stylish, comfortable and spacious. The kitchen is much bigger than it appears in the photos and is so well equipped one could cater for an army! The pool is amazing and but what is unquestionably the outstanding feature of the property is the terrace with the most fabulous views over the coast and the island of Korcula. Jane was so kind and helpful, offering us advice and recommendations before and during our stay. I would say that you definitely need a car since, whilst the village is not too far away, it is a very steep climb to the villa. I would wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Jane’s villa.

We (5 old friends) had a wonderful week. House, garden and pool were all lovely.
Pool lovely and secluded. Villa very well equipped.
A short walk to the small village of Viganj, by the water's edge. Steep climb back!
2 good bar / restaurants for simple evening meals. People friendly.
Altogether a great time.
Thanks, Jane, for always being at the end of the phone for texts etc.

Super villa,fabulous views
Interrupted a motor homing holiday, for a week in Villa Vista with our three children & their partners, all in their 20,s I had researched villas & areas( having never been to Croatia before) & the children had voted on my three final choices.The Peljesac peninsula is stunning & in June didn't seem very busy at all.
Jane had said a small motor home could access the property but it was a heart in the mouth journey up from the road! With the childrens two hire cars it wasn't moved again until we left.
Our daughter who had arrived before us from Dubrovnik airport( such an easy journey) rushed outside to meet us exclaiming " it's even better than the photos ".
It was fabulous, great views,spacious,really well equipped & comfortable.
The pool was a real bonus( particularly after a walk up the hill after the morning bread run) & we spent the late afternoons playing pool volley ball. The offspring tried their hand at windsurfing, we all snorkelled in the lovely clear waters & had some great food & wine both locally & on our outings.The sun shone every day. It was bliss- need I go on?!

Delightful for a gathering of friends to celebrate a special occasion.
Spectacular views overlooking the water and Korcula. House is charming and well-maintained and equipped for large gatherings. It was the perfect place for my husband to celebrate his fantasy 60th birthday with good friends. Even though we weren't windsurfers, it was fun to watch them enjoying their idea of paradise. Jane (owner) is attentive and suggested many local spots for eating and activities. House is maintained by a friendly band of locals who were only too willing to help us with inane questions and minor issues. Can't wait to celebrate my 60th!
