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.
About Jane Grant
A New Zealander living in Woking in the UK for the past 25(!) years, living with my husband Craig, daughter Ella, dog Monty and our chickens..
We fell in love with Croatia on our first trip in 2003 which set us off hunting for our perfect holiday home. We found Villa Vista the next year and set about putting it back to its former self. By all accounts, including the locals, we did a pretty good job of it.
We knew there were a number of old stone houses in the area but bought and renovated this one because of history and commanding position.
We make an active contribution to village life and have made many goods friends in Viganj, our home away from home.

Why Jane Grant chose Peninsula Peljesac
Villa Vista has the best of both worlds in Viganj.
It is a stones throw from the Village - it's shops, bars, restaurants, sea etc., and yet has the peace, calm and unbelievable views due to its enviable position just above the village.
It is tough to beat waking up and being able to see up to 10 Adriatic islands over you morning coffee or tea.
Largest private swimming pool in the area.
Private, secluded position.

Reviews
Exceptional!

Even prettier than the pictures - simply stunning
Having been asked for a recommendation of somewhere to stay in Croatia, I realised that I had never written a review of our family get together at this beautiful property. We actually stayed there for two weeks in July 2015 (Calendar wouldn't go that far back). We were a party of 12 with ages ranging from three to 71 years. The house exceeded our expecations and we all still talk about the holiday. There was a bush fire that cut out the power for 24 hours but Jane and her family were near at hand with advice and emergency water and it didn't impact on our enjoyment one little bit. The whole ambience feels like a private resort and the area surrounding it was filled with day trips, wind-sailing and fabulous places to eat and have a sunset drink. Can't recommend it highly enough.
We felt the magic
It's difficult to describe just how wonderful our stay at Villa Vista was, from the unbelievably exquisite views, that changed by the hour, to the long, lazy hours spent in the hammock reading a book and drinking some of the peninsular's stunning wines, to swimming in the clear blue sea and sleeping in the comfortable beds.
There was enough space for us all to relax together, or be apart, the pool area was well maintained and it was a delight to see so many beautiful plants and trees growing in the garden. The owners care and attention to every detail was truly outstanding.
We'll be back, we felt the magic!
Perfect
A group of 8 of us stayed at Villa Vista for a 10th University reunion. We chose this villa based on the earlier reviews on this site and we were not in anyway disappointed.
The Villa is exceptionally well equipped from truly comfortable beds, the kitchen through to the pool area and the views from both terraces are outstanding. There is a ton of space for everyone which meant we could hang out together or take time out from the group.
The village offered something for all of us - water sports, cute restaurants and bars and a good local shop. Nearby larger Orebic was great for larger shopping etc.
The Villa's position means you can take advantage of all on offer while being able escape the busy waterfront and relax over a glass of wine [ or two ] in our own space.
Cant rate this place highly enough and we will be back.
Stunning villa, stunning location...
Beautiful villa, well equipped with all the amenities of your own home.
Bedrooms all air-conditioned, very welcome on hot steamy nights. Many villa's claim to sleep 10, only to find you have beds in weird places, this villa sleeps 10 in proper bedrooms with great bathrooms too. The location is fantastic not too overrun with tourists with lots to do. Like the marketing slogan says "Croatia - like the med used to be" a true statement. Can't wait to return to Villa Vista...
The Jackpot
We spent 18 months searching for the perfect villa in which to celebrate our golden wedding with our family. In selecting Villa Vista we hit the jackpot. The location is superb with magnificent views especially across the water to Korcula. We were 10 aged from 3 to 76 and there was plenty of room for all of us. We never felt on top of one another. The villa was clean, airy and comfortable and all our pre arrival requests had been met. The owner's representative came twice to ask whether all was well and to ensure that we had everything we needed. The house is very well appointed and equipped and there is a splendid swimming pool which was serviced daily. The 44 steps down to it from the terrace were well worth the effort as was the steep track down to the sea! There is a plethora of nearby restaurants catering for all tastes and pockets to choose from and whatever one's choice of watersport there is the opportunity to indulge in it almost on the doorstep.
Our week there was everything we hoped it would be and we would certainly recommend Villa Vista to anyone looking for a holiday in that part of Croatia.
A wonderful, beautiful place to stay.
We stayed at Villa Vista for the first week of August, we had visited Croatia and Hvar previously. We are a family of six, and another family of four joined us. There was plenty of room, no one got on top of one another, the house was clean, welcoming and airy.The outside space was great especially with the stone oven!
When we arrived we had all the basic things like washing up liquid, loo roll, salt and pepper, herbs, olive oil, milk, fruit...brilliant!!! Just makes such a massive difference, not having to buy all the staples for just a week.
The house is in an incredible location, Viganj itself is lovely too, no other English people at all!!! Very good! The local people are so helpful, especially Ivan and Tonchi in the tourist office. We will definitely come back .My third daughter who does not especially like leaving the farm wants to return this year, and actually so do I! A week was not really long enough to do all we wanted to. Sorry, a too long review I expect, my texts end up too long also!
Map
A local ferry runs to Korcula from a jetty a short walk from the Villa where further ferries can be caught to the island national park of Miljet and the unmissable city of Dubrovnik.
Viganj and its neighbouring villages of Ponte, Kuciste and Loviciste offer a range of restaurants and bars that provide a welcome break from the heat of day and a place of real beauty for evening drinks and dinner. All serve a range of local produce and fish caught on the day, together with excellent local wine.
Orebic, 4 kms away, is the main town for shopping, markets, banks etc.
Viganj has a number of windsurfing and kite boarding schools and plays host to an international windsurf and kite board competition each August. Other sporting activities include water skiing and wake boarding, scuba diving, sailing – small and blue water yachts, Para sending, tennis, hiking and mountain biking.
Other Activities: Kite Boarding, Wine Trails
