Roko Vintage- Holiday Home-Villa with pool-Podgora-Makarska

We’ve just spent 10 days at Roko Vintage. Despite the current heatwave we seem to be struggling through - Magda and Allen did their best to accommodate us. They brought in fans to make us more comfortable.

The views are incredible. The villa is comfortable and well appointed. Due to the vegetation all around- you do need plenty of Deet. We all got bitten!

There was a burst water pipe outside the villa which meant we had no water for half a day. But Magda ensured the Water Board came out first thing in the morning and it was dealt with surprisingly quickly.

The only issue we had was that parking your rental vehicle outside the villa on the narrow roads was tricky.

Magda was always at hand to suggest restaurants and boat trips and even to help with bookings.

We were all very impressed with the Dalmatian coastline- from Split to Dubrovnik. The roads are well surfaced and a pleasure to drive on. Take note - most car parks only accept coins(Kuna). And change is hard to come by!

We found people really friendly, the food delicious and good value.

The beaches are extremely clean - but rocky. You need gel shoes to properly enjoy it!

It’s been a wonderful introduction to Croatia. Stunning coastline, pretty towns,the freshest seafood, beautiful wines, warm friendly people, fabulous weather. An Adriatic gem!

Thank you Magda and Allen for a wonderful stay. And congratulations once again on the birth of your son just days before we arrived!

We will certainly be back!

What you see in the photographs is what you get. It is a beautiful villa with equally beautiful views. The reception and service from Magda and her husband was fantastic. Stocking us up with essential goodies was a welcome surprise and very much appreciated. The villa is a very short trip up the hill from the town of Podgora and it is as a result very quiet and a wonderful escape. The pool was always clean and we loved lounging around. We cooked a bbq meal which was a real treat for us. Magda's restaurant which is in town, was very good and we made sure to return one more time before we left Podgora. The villa is very accessible to Dubrovnik, Split, Bosnia Herzegovina and various beaches It is best to have a car. Highly recommended and fantastic value. Thank you Magda & family.

This property is beautiful and a wonderful place to stay. We arrived quite late from Split and Magda was waiting for us patiently at her restaurant Roko - great food and highly recommended. A huge amount of food was provided to ensure we could get started and nothing was a problem for Magda.

It is a reasonable distance from the main town of Podgorica so a challenge to walk but the views from this property and the peace and quiet are adequate compensation.

We would highly recommend this property - we are sad to leave.

We had an amazing 12 nights stay. Magda and Alan are the perfect hosts and always had time for us despite the busiest time at their restaurant Roko which is definitely worth a visit too. The food was exquisite. The views are stunning from the poolside and the house is a delight with the shutters open on the cooler days, When I say cooler - late 20s early 30s! Interior is beautiful but most importantly functional with throws so nothing is too precious, but very comfortable. Bikes on tap for the more adventurous but very hilly so beware and best to go out before the heat of the day. Plenty to see and do in Croatia when you can tear yourself from the tranquil poolside. Kra falls, Dubrovnik, Islands Zip wires. Even moved me to poetry, Hopefully we will be back

Rugged rocks, the whitened stone,

Amongst the beauty of the olive groves:

Croation coast, oh you can boast:

Dalmatia you are the perfect host!

Adriatic blue, so crystal too;

Amid the mountain vistas true.

Flotillas sail, Dubrovnik bound,

Or find Hvar, the idyll harbour sound;

Brac, with Zlatni Rac, to stroll around,

Paradise in the islands found!

Nestled in Pogdora old, is the

Villa in Krzanici.

Shutters green, this utter scene,

Of bliss, a blessed dream.

With terraced pool for relaxation;

Or endless paths and bikes for exploration!

Swallows flit and dance, as in a trance:

Dip and dive to drink and prance,

Til blown by Bora wind off course,

In search of purest water source!

Luxurious space, to rest unwind.

Leaves Croatian love entwined:

A visit to this Croatia a must

In Magda we certainly trust!

We have just returned from a fantastic 9 nights at this villa. It is an exceptional property with stunning sea views. The villa was extremely clean upon arrival. It is light, bright, spacious and very comfortable with tasteful furnishings. The beds were very comfortable too and the bathroom was gorgeous and also benefitted from a power shower. The washing machine was also a bonus. The outside areas and pool are all gorgeous and we were encouraged to pick fruits etc from the local orchard which was fabulous!

The owners are so kind and helpful and Magda even helped us to organise a boat trip to see the nearby islands. Podgara itself is lovely as is the nearby resort of Tucepi. Roko Restaurant is lovely and the food and staff are all excellent. One night we were even treated to free drinks and Magda allowed us to reserve a sea front table. A car is essential for this villa as the walk back from Podgora and the beach is all uphill and very steep and would not be recommended at night

Try the white water rafting with Split Adventure - great fun and gorgeous scenery

We had a brilliant time and Croatia and this villa are both beautiful!
