Beachfront Villa Mediteran — Hotel in Općina Podstrana

Had a room for two on the top floor; the balcony gives a view of the sea between two buildings - not a great view, but a sea view nonetheless and the apartment is right on the beach anyway. Some of the village and the mountains beyond are visible as well, and almost as pretty as the sea.||||The accommodation consisted of a bedroom (loads of storage), a kitchenette and two bathrooms each with shower/basin/toilet. Very clean and modern-looking throughout and the apartment was cleaned/fresh towels provided several times during our week's stay.||||The kitchenette had a fridge (no proper freezer, just an ice-box) and a two-ring hob, with minimal cooking implements, so not really suitable if you're looking to self-cater. For us, planning to eat out most times, it was fine; for breakfast we managed boiled eggs and coffee, plus bread, meat and cheese from the nearby baker and mini-supermarket. The owners had left a couple of beers and Cokes in the fridge for us, which was a nice touch. We also were offered a drink on arrival, and on departure!||||The bed is large (king size) and very comfortable; the mattress was nice and firm and one person shifting around during the night didn't disturb the other.||||There were two air-con units, one in the bedroom and one in the kitchen. In addition, full-size external blinds could be used to keep the sun out if required.||||Two TVs also provided, although hardly any English channels; I don't go abroad to watch English telly so not a problem but others may differ.||||The owners were extremely friendly, welcoming and accommodating, whenever we bumped into them they asked if everything was OK, and a problem with one of the toilets was quickly fixed.||||The bus to Split takes around 15 minutes. Last bus back is around midnight, but taxis are available after then.||||If I was going back (which I might - Croatia is a beautiful country with lovely people) then I would not hesitate to stay at Villa...

I had a ground floor apartment with a patio that went straight onto the beach .open the double doors and can hear the waves |Beach was deserted when I stayed it was so peaceful |The owner was extremely gracious and friendly...he gave me very generous amount of breakfast food to keep in my room as I was going out very early each day |The room is beautiful and immaculate ensuite and with a mini kitchen. No microwave tho |For day trips I walked along the beach and was collected at the meridian lav hotel about 10mins walk |For shopping there is a cash machine a bakery and a mini market open till 8pm across the road |It was pre main season when I went so not all the bars were open and I felt that even in high season finding somewhere to eat out in this area might be tricky, felt there was a limited choice but once you realise this you can work round it . I| felt podstrana hadnt a lot to offer as an area |But I would most definitely stay at this apartment again. |A taxi into split cost 28kuna |a bus...

Anta is a great host and owner. He met us in the driveway to his place. The signage is not great, the place is setback quite a ways from the main road and we had to ask several locals before we were able to get to his place.||||Anta said despite what we had chosen online (room with a garden view and double beds), he was able to offer us the pick of the place as we were the only guests! So we went with a sea view with a balcony. He led us to that room and we were pleasantly surprised to find two king beds in two separate rooms each with patio/balcony access!||||Because we were hungry and wanted restaurant info, he offered to drive us up the street to Amigos, a great Croatian restaurant we later discovered. When we were done, he told us to call him and he would return us to his place.||||His place is actually a series of suites in a building so it's more apartment-like than it is...
