Description

Footprints Villa is a large detached 5 bedroom villa with private pool right on the seafront in the lovely mainland village of Viganj, Croatia.

I also have my own web site - www.footprintsvillacroatia.com. Booking deposit 25%. Balance only due 8 weeks before your holiday. Click 'PRICES' to view my rates.

Fully restored, this 19th century former sea captains residence enjoys stunning south-westerly facing sea views and beyond to the island of Korcula.

The villa is located in the historic seaside village of Viganj (pronounced vee-gan), north of Dubrovnik on the Dalmatian mainland. Being on the mainland, there is no need to catch a ferry to island destinations, saving hours of travel time, especially in peak season. Viganj is opposite the famed island of Korcula, where you can enjoy experiencing the old 12th century walled city - accessible via the little foot ferry that leaves just 100m from the villa.

Viganj has many excellent family run restaurants, serving seafood caught in the bay. The village is also Croatia's premium windsurfing and kiteboarding capital, with great facilities, tuition for beginners and quite a spectical for those on shore to enjoy (the villa's seafront terraces overlook the main areas).

For those wishing to stay closer to shore, the village has delightful little beaches, with boutique bars dotted along the sea edge through the village and beyond.

It's a perfect safe, seaside escape for groups & families.

Just a little about myself and my villa home...I am Richard, the British owner. After buying the property, we spent 3 years of painstaking and dedicated restoration using local craftsmen.

If you choose to come and stay, I can arrange low cost airport (Dubrovnik) transfers to and from the the villa, far cheaper than those offered on line through a general search. Cars can be hired locally for days out. I also offer a free pre-arrival shopping service - just send me a list for provisions you will require for your first evening/breakfast and all will be awaiting you upon your arrival. Groceries simply charged as detailed on the receipt. Complimentary vineyard tour also included, including food!

My sea edge villa home has exposed original stone blending with stylish, contemporary finishings, hi-end sanitary ware & furnishings. Footprints is fully air-conditioned, and heated if you come in the cooler months. The villa actually dates back 2 centuries and its original features have been carefully retained, yet it offers modern elegance in one the most amazing location one would wish to find in Croatia.

You'd fly to Dubrovnik (I can advise about flights and book luxury transfers for you.

My home is right on the sea front, near the 18th century church in the middle of the village so no car is needed, as every facility one requires (beaches, bars, restaurant, shop, water taxi) is no more than 100 metres in either direction.

As well as an IPod Dock, my TV system runs UKTV2GO - a new Internet system provide top UK and International channels.

Of course, there is free wireless Internet all through the villa.

You may be interested to read in the publication - 'The Croatian Adriatic', published by N&N, available on line and a definitive guide to Croatia, that it states in this region's section - 'the houses & bay of Viganj form what is the most beautiful location on the Adriatic'.

The lovely pool is private and is in the rear courtyard, and a good size of 8.3mx 6m. It's surrounded by sun beds & has a locally made stone dining table for all. The villa is fully gated to secure little wandering guests from escaping.

The front of the villa, overlooking the clear and inviting Adriatic is the real unique feature of my villa. A huge terrace, west facing with comfy settee for lounging, and a further stone table and chairs for sunset dining is such a special place to just take in the beauty with your family and friends.

It's worth noting that Viganj hosts the national, and every few words the World windsurfing championships, so from the terrace you can watch the pro's doing there stuff as well as have a go yourself. Tuition is offered on our beach to beginners. If teenagers are in your party, they will love to 'hang out' with the surfers (one of my first photos shows the beach, (with bars for a beer) from where this exhilarating sport can be enjoyed...or just watched!).

I own and operate the villa directly with all clients who enquire and book. I have my own site or, you can book below. Homeaway now adds a booking fee for using this site. I can assure you of a personal service and can answer any questions you have.

I have a wonderful local manager who speaks several languages, and she will assist with any thing you may need during your holiday. She is also responsible for oversees the cleaning, servicing, pool care etc.

Now please read on, take a look at the photos and facility lists further down this listing and if you have any questions, just complete the enquiry section. I provide my UK landline and mobile with my reply and invite you to call with any questions you may have. I have my own web site with lots more information and a secure booking system that takes credit cards. www.footprintsvillacroatia.com.

Booking deposit 25%. Balance not due until just 8 weeks before your holiday. Credit cards taken.

A Fantastic Stay

By Mr Brian McCallister on 14-Sep-2024

We had a fantastic stay, thanks. The villa was perfect for our group. There was plenty of space for everyone with all the different seating areas and it is really well equipped .The location is hard to beat and everybody enjoyed swimming out in the front. We took a few trips out but we were all happy to return to peaceful Viganj. We were all sad to be leaving and I’m sure we will return in the future. Many thanks for all your information and organization of the minibus. The welcome pack was very generous and much appreciated.

Fantastic villa, wonderful holiday.

By Mrs X Fry on 31-Aug-2024

Fantastic villa, wonderful holiday. A family group of 10 - spanning 3 generations - we all loved it. The Villa was spotless, spacious, comfy, beautiful - and had all we needed. The sea is literally 10 metres from the front door. There is a good mini supermarket, bakery, fruit and veg stall and restaurants right nearby (just meters or 5 mins walk). The village has a relaxed, friendly, laid back atmosphere. Richard the owner was lovely at helping us before our trip - much appreciated. Taxi took 2 hours. Personally we thought it was worth it as we had such a brilliant holiday. We did a wonderful half day boat trip (the local villa agent/contact helped us organise it). We could have gone to Korcula for the day but we were having such a lovely, relaxed time we didn’t go in the end. One for next time. Highly recommended as a get away from it all gorgeous place to relax. Thank you Richard!

Beautiful Property

By Heather Painter on 10-Aug-2024

We had a wonderful celebration of our 40th wedding anniversary at your beautiful property. It was just perfect for the whole family and the welcome food was very much appreciated. Your pre visit information was comprehensive and proved invaluable. We had a wonderful meal at your favourite restaurant so thank you for that recommendation. Petar was equally invaluable so many thanks to him as well. Viganj is such a special beautiful place, with just the laid back feeling we all loved. It was great for the children who veered between the pool and the sea quite content in the company of their cousins thus totally relaxing for their parents. As for the incident with the shutter , it was dealt with efficiently and with little interruption to our day so thank you. In Footprints you have created a perfect holiday home in a delightful location. but know that this must have been achieved with so much thought and care. We felt privileged to to stay in your beautiful house. Thank you.

A Lovely Villa

By Jennifer Hughes on 03-Aug-2024

A lovely villa in a lovely laid back village. We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay and found the villa had everything we needed.

The situation of the villa is perfect.

By Pat Hooton on 27-Jul-2024

We have just returned from a two week, three generation family holiday, staying in the Footprints Villa, Vaganj, Croatia. The situation of the Villa is perfect, just opposite the sea, which creates a lovely gentle breeze. It also had lots of space, so we were not on top of each other. It was fabulous for our Grandchildren, with lots of water activities. They snorkelled, went scuba diving & Jet skiing. Having a pool was fabulous, as the weather was very hot, but the sea breeze made it perfect. We tried several of the local restaurants, when we were not having a BBQ & the food was delicious. There is also an excellent bakery close by. I can highly recommend a stay here.

A Fantastic Villa

By Jo Warnock on 11-Jul-2024

I always look for high quality villas in great locations near the sea and this did not disappoint. Viganj is beautiful. A Fantastic Villa in a beautiful location literally next to the sea. The villa is very well furnished and very clean. The pool area, front area and roof terrace are fantastic for relaxing and although we had 9 people in the villa it never felt crowded. Plenty of space and the kitchen is huge. Fani is available locally to answer all questions and help where required. I would highly recommend the villa and the location and village which is only a 5-10 minute boat ride from stunning Korcula.
