About this property

Dream villa with spectacular sea views, 3 bedrooms, swimming pool

This idyllic stone house from the 19th Century the perfect vacation spot for everyone who is looking for seclusion and perfect nature. The property has been carefully rebuilt into a beautiful family-friendly house, while preserving the historical heritage. The magical location on the mountain slope, in a picturesque area typical of old Dalmatia, offers you a wonderful panoramic view of the landscape, as well as a magnificent view of the sea and the islands.
The interior, a successful mix of modern and antique, creates a warm and inviting impression. The property consists of two interconnected buildings with three bedrooms with their own bathrooms. In addition to the modern kitchen and living area, this cozy house also has a well-equipped, archaic-looking summer kitchen that opens onto the terrace where you can enjoy your morning coffee without waking the others. In addition, this kitchen and the terrace offer the perfect retreat from the midday heat.
A swimming pool, an outdoor shower and a grill also offer the comfort of a contemporary holiday home. Here you can spend the days by the pool or with a good book in the shade.
If you are looking for some variety to the activities around the house, you can go hiking or cycling in the surrounding hills and mountains. Bicycles can be used free of charge by guests and can be found in the garage of the house. In five minutes you are on a beautiful pebble beach or in one of the charming neighboring villages, where you can find shops, supermarkets and restaurants.
This peaceful oasis in the old village of Zaostrog is a great starting point for excursions as it is halfway between Split and Dubrovnik. You need 90 minutes by car to both cities, as well as to the sunny islands of Hvar or Pelješac, where you can indulge yourself in one of the famous local wineries.
Villa Mara is the ideal house for a holiday with friends or family, even in early summer and late summer.

Amazing
We had a fantastic week here in Villa Mara. The house is lovely; mixing old world charm with all the modern facilities. The location is fab, as you have easy access to the sea but you are up in the hills, where is is quiet and with a beautiful view. Also Matko was extremely helpful. It was a great stay, very relaxing, and we would highly recommend this villa.

Absolutely amazing from start to finish
We spent 2 amazing weeks at Matko's beautiful villa in September and it was fabulous. The location, a mile or so up a winding road into the woods, is so peaceful and the views stunning from every angle. The villa itself is beautiful, modern, stylish and tastefully furnished and equipped with everything you could possibly need. Matko himself is the most helpful and attentive host you could wish for and couldn't do enough for us, without being in any way intrusive.The bread and basket of vegetables he left for us were a lovely touch. He even organised us a table in a restaurant in the village on our arrival late at night and the minute we arrived, we knew we were in heaven. Everything is spotlessly clean and we had more clean towels, beach towels and sheets that we could possibly use. The village is very pretty as are the many others around this area and we found Croatia absolutely stunning along the whole coastline, as well as in land around the rivers and lakes. Out of all of the villa's around Europe that we have stayed in, this is my absolute favourite. We were so sad to leave and will definitely come again. Have already recommended it to many friends. Thanks Matko, you have done a great job.

Just wonderful
Villa Mara is stunning both inside and outside. Its wonderful location is peaceful and the views are breathtaking. It was hard to decide which way to look from the pool area; down the valley to Zaostrog, the sea and her islands or to the majestic mountains around the house. Both are fantastically inspiring. The old village is quiet and with just a few families living there so we didn't feel on our own but had complete privacy. It also has a natural spring just a hundred metres along the road and the water is sweet and cool. The house itself has been renovated with great care and attention to detail. Nothing had been forgotten to make our stay comfortable and easy. Everything in the house was finished tastefully and to a high standard with air conditioning in every room. It was just a short car journey to the beach where the owner Matko miraculously provided us with a parking space a few steps from the sea. Just one of many thoughtful things he did for us. Matko couldn't have been more generous and helpful; from fresh fish for our supper, to organising an 18th birthday cake for our son, to finding a boat to explore the coast for an afternoon, to advice on restaurants and activities, we were incredibly well looked after. Thank you Matko for it all and we wish you all the success that you deserve with this wonderful house. Hopefully one day we will be able to return- we would absolutely love to!

A wonderful villa, hosted by a great owner
We travelled with 2 teenage boys (14 &17) in July 2017 looking for a mix of lazing by the pool and lazing by the sea! We were taken in by the photos but didn’t really believe the villa could be that nice: how wrong we were. The house is everything it promised to be and more besides. From the beautiful décor to the provision of every single thing anyone could need to enjoy their stay, Matko’s villa exceeds all expectations. More like a mini hotel in its quality we settled in within minutes and were heartbroken when we had to leave. The attention to detail was brought home when Matko mentioned on arrival that one of the sun umbrellas was broken and that he’d bring a new one the next day. Not only was he there as promised (calling first to check we were OK for him to visit) but, unable to find a new one to match the old, he bought two and replaced both. Set at the foot of the most amazing cliffs in the bowl of the most stunning mountain this is easily the best villa we’ve used and would recommend it and Matko to anyone.
