Guest comments
Unparalleled panorama in a beautifully secluded but superbly renovated house - We certainly felt the magic!!
'You have done a superb job of restoring and furnishing this place. Spectular. Unlike so many rental properties, you have put quality into everything -- from the construction to the furnishings -- and it shows.' Bill Howell, (Arizona) June 2006
'We had a very lovely stay at The Captain's House. The property is really beautiful and the views are amazing. I would highly recommend the villa to anyone looking for a peaceful family holiday' - Pamela Ognjenovic (June 2006)
'Fantastic location and views are spectacular'
'Just one fine day over Christmas 2005 was enough to show me that the whole Dalmatian coast, and the Peljesac Peninsula in particular, is breathtakingly beautiful. Enjoy it now - before it's 'Costa'd'!'
'The villa is certainly the most comprehensively equipped holiday home that I have ever been to'
Owner profile
About the owner
I live in England with my wife and 2 children. My wife and I both work, but spend many of our holidays, Summer and Winter, in Croatia, where we have made many friends and have really fallen in love with the country.
Year purchased: 2004
Why the owner chose a home in this location
We bought the property because of its convenience to get to, with the increasing number of direct air links to the UK, and because of the stunning views. Also, as a 300 year old property, it's pretty unique.
Unique benefits of the property
We love the Viganj area because of its outstanding natural beauty, crystal clear sea and quality of food which seems to get better and better each time we go back. It's also a particularly safe area which is important to us with two small children.
