Peaceful Villa with Stunning Views
We have just returned from a lovely 2 week stay at Villa Olivia. This is the place for total peace. There are no near neighbours. The villa is as described. Milan takes enormous pride in his property and communicates well at all stages of the booking and the stay. He makes every effort to ensure you have everything you need. The villa and grounds are very clean and comfortable. It is perfectly possible to walk down to Podgora, about 30 minutes, but take the taxi number with you from the info folder. (Unless you are really fit!) There are a number of good restaurants and bars in the town. Milan will recommend. We would definitely recommend this place.

Family Time
War ein wunderbarer Urlaub mit der Familie. Ruhig gelegen und mit alles ausgestattet was man benötigt. Hatten im Mai erst ein Paar Tage Regen und waren froh um den großen Wohnbereich mit Kaminfeuer.
