Villas in Vis

Beautiful location with a view over the Harbor.

Our hosts were so accommodating allowing us an early checkin and greeted us for departure and arrival. The house has all you need, amazing views and is a close walk into town for dinner and shops. We loved it and highly recommend!

The accommodation fully corresponded to all expectations, we felt very comfortable in the house, the architecture, interior layout and furnishings, including art objects, matched our taste. Good location near the centre. We could contact the house keeping lady at any time, she answered immediately and was always helpful. The island had a very good energy for us, the locals are nice and friendly. We can highly recommend Vis and Villa Mara for the stay.

This gem of a property is nestled just above the main port of Vis, overlooking the harbor, the yachts, a scenic 16th century monastery, a beautiful lighthouse, and several offshore islands. The views from the villa are spectacular at all times of day. We enjoyed the modern well-stocked kitchen, the onsite laundry, and three floors of beautiful living areas. Walking distance to the center of Vis is less than five minutes.

Clean, beautiful, nice, great location. Room was stocked with everything you need.

Great property in the heart of Vis. The place is well equipped with everything for up to 6 people. The garden is amazing as well as the host. Definitely recommend!

Our multi-generational family — my husband and me, our two sons (early 20s), and my parents (late 70s) — had a wonderful two-night stay at Villa Riva in early May. We were greeted with such warm hospitality. Key pickup at the tourist office was convenient, and we were pleasantly surprised that a van had been arranged to take us to the villa. While the walk from the port is manageable and scenic along the promenade, this thoughtful gesture was appreciated given my mother’s mobility concerns, and it saved us from having to find a taxi for six people and luggage. The villa is a beautifully renovated stone house on the riva, just steps from the water. The highlight was the top-floor living area and balcony, where we spent mornings enjoying coffee and watching boats come and go. The panoramic view was spectacular! The layout worked well for us. Each of the first three floors had its own bedroom and bathroom. Since the staircase could be challenging, the first floor, which included a seating area and fridge, was ideal for my parents. The other two bedrooms were huge. We stayed on the second floor, which also had a balcony, and our sons shared the third-floor. Rooms could be configured with either king or twin beds so that was especially appreciated. The villa was very clean, with comfortable beds, an additional sofa bed, a well-equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer (with detergent), and many other thoughtful amenities. We liked the detailed guest guide, too. The staff was responsive and remained helpful throughout our visit, including recommending a speedboat excursion that picked us up right on the water in front of the villa. We were sad to leave. With an incredible view in a prime waterfront setting, outstanding hospitality, a well-designed layout, and thoughtful touches throughout, Villa Riva stands out as one of our favorite stays in many years of travel. We hope to return again soon!

Sara’s home is an exact reflection of Sara - welcoming, warm, and attaching. We spent 7 days at the house and would have stayed for the rest of the summer if we did not have any obligations! Sara will suggest that you first arrive at the location with your luggage and groceries (AND WATER) via water taxi. Save yourself the trouble and take her suggestion. It will cost you 50€ but with the 15-20 minute walk from the car parking lot at the top of Stoncica beach through an actual goat path to the house, the cost of not being winded and swimming in your own sweat because you were carrying 12L of water in addition to your luggage and groceries is well worth it. Added bonus : the view of the bay when you turn the corner and see the house you’ll be living in for the next few days is amazing. There is no drinking water at the house so the 12L+ of water is in fact real. Sara cannot stress this enough - bring drinking water and do not underestimate how much water we actually consume in one day. For two people over the course of 7 days, we consumed about 20L of water. The house itself is probably the closest thing to feeling like you are living on a sailboat. The ocean is your front porch and the water is very refreshing, especially after walking back from the car park or when the sun is hot in the afternoon. The house is literally in the wilderness, just like the ad says, therefore very normal to see little lizards and other wildlife friends hanging out around the property - nothing dangerous though! Although the Croatian sun is hot, the porch has a shaded area to keep you cool while you finish off a crossword puzzle. There is everything you need in the house; espresso machine + coffee, towels, some basic toiletries if you forgot something, cooking oils and herbs, pots and pans, hair dryer, playing cards, headlamps (you’ll need one if you come home after sundown for the goat path), sun loungers and a bunch of other things that make your stay pleasant.
