If you are looking forward to a relaxing break Prodstrana is for you! Villa Johnney is a bit of a climb from the main road so not for people with walking difficulties. My husband and I were situated in Apartment 6 (penthouse suite) the view from the balcony was breathtaking as were the 65 steps that lead up to it. There are no lifts here, however Johnny is very obliging and will carry your cases to and from your apartment. The apartments are beautiful, brand new and cleaned twice weekly. We loved Johnny's mum who although could speak little English was very welcoming. Johnny is a lovely guy and if you need anything he will do his best to help you. The beach is across the road, it is fairly busy so you may need a bit patience here before you actually get across it, the beach is great though it is pebbles.The water is shallow and there are canoes, pedaloes etc. The scuba divers will be very dissapointed however as was my husband, the only nearby facility was at the Meridian hotel and they wanted £40 a dive but £200+ for traveling 25 miles up the coast and back. CRAZY PRICES Split is a 25 min bus ride away, Omis which is equally as beautiful is 25 mins on the opposite route. We wnt in at nightimes as there are few restaurants around. We were not taken with Amigo's but found a lovely restaurant across the road further alonfg. Diokletian I think it was called.It was £2 a pint of Lager and a G&T was £2 so prices were okay not as bad as Europe. Also eating out was the same prices as England. I would go back...

We stayed 3 nights and found the host and his partner very welcoming and ever prepared to offer advice on the surrounding area. The apartment does not have a lift but Johnny carried our luggage to the third floor. Our room was welll maintained, quiet and quite large, offering views to the mountains. The front rooms had excellent views to the sea. Breakfast was more than adequate and served entusiasticallyon an outside terrace. Combine off street parking, a short 10 minute drive to Split, a five minute stroll to the beach for swimming and seaside restaurants, what more could...
Read moreWe have been staying here for many years. We love Podstrana and Johnny's is perfect. The apartments are cleaned daily - they are beautiful and modern. Breakfast is great - you can have eggs (omelette, scrambled, boiled), sausages, a range of cold meats, cheese, gorgeous different breads, spreads, jams, honey, croissants, fruit juices and coffee. The view from the balcony is stunning overlooking the sea which is just a couple of minutes across the road. Johnny and his family are wonderful people and can't do enough for you to help in making your stay a brilliant...
