A jewel of a villa in an authentic Croatian holiday resort
It is hard to write a review to express how wonderful the Villa Arya is! It really is as gorgeous as the pictures suggest but what they don't capture is the wonderful atmosphere. It is such a special place!
The first thing to say is that it is absolutely spotless and has everything you could possibly need, especially if you are a keen cook. We were a party of 10 - 4 adults and 6 teenagers (aged 15 to 19) and we all loved it. It worked very well for two families as there are two apartments. We took an apartment per family but all cooked together in the downstairs apartment as it is better equipped and has access to the outside table and BBQ.
I found the hosts charming and extremely helpful. Every request was answered within minutes. On arrival, we were delighted to find the most amazing selection of bread, cheese and charcuterie and drinks in the fridge. Ljubo took the time to take us around the villa to show us all the amenities, of which there are many. Everything was just perfect!
A highlight for the teenagers was the gym, sauna and pool. I loved the shaded outdoor sofa area which was perfect for reading and chilling. We all loved the rooftop sofas, sunbeds and hot tub.
Podstrana has a range of restaurants and bars and we walked down to the beach most days for a coffee, drink or meal. Split was easily accessible by bus which cost a couple of Euro.
Thank you! We had a wonderful week and would love to return next year!
