A fresh, modern villa just 100m from the centre of Komiža town, the 4-bedroom Villa Vendi lies on the west coast of the Croatian island of Vis. A stunning sea view and a spacious pool terrace are just two of the reasons you will love this well-appointed property which accommodates up to eight guests.

With green hills on one side and the ocean on the other, you will feel instantly comfortable at Villa Vendi. You have a 45 sq m private pool with shower, and alongside it you’ll find sun loungers and inviting seating and dining areas. A large umbrella overhead gives you shade from the sun as you eat.

Step straight inside and there’s an elegant indoor dining area too, along with a kitchen equipped with a coffee machine, dishwasher, microwave and everything else you may need. The relaxing lounge area is just a few steps away, offering a large HDTV and ample seating. You also have Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout the property.

The bedrooms enjoy superb views of the surroundings. On the lower level, the master bedroom looks out on the beautiful Adriatic Sea and offers a king-size bed, satellite TV and an en suite bathroom with walk-in shower. You will find similar features in the three upstairs bedrooms, which feature direct access to the upper terrace where you can appreciate the scents of the olive and lemon trees around the villa. In addition, the house incorporates an impressive fitness space, along with another bathroom, on the ground floor.

The town of Komiža is one of the two main settlements on the island, the other being Vis town. The two are about 15 minutes’ drive from each other. The beautiful harbour is lined with restaurant terraces and is the ideal place to depart for a visit to nearby Biševo island, where the famous Blue Cave is found. All sorts of island excursions are available from Vis, with tours taking in Brač, Šolta, Korčula and Hvar.

As mentioned in...

The island of Vis is particularly beautiful and unspoilt, making it perfect if you just want to relax. You can enjoy quiet beaches and attractive small towns, while boat tours to neighbouring islands are popular too. Vineyards, pine forests and olive groves lend the island a wonderfully natural ambiance that’s hard to resist.

The island’s main town shares its name. It’s also the oldest town, and you will find some interesting ruins and churches. An archaeological museum is worth a visit and includes a considerable collection of impressive Greek sculptures and artefacts. The museum is located in Vis’ Batarija Fort – a significant sight in itself. In summer, there are often events and performances held in the fort’s courtyard.

The other notable town on the island is Komiža, which offers a lovely harbour area and several beaches. Found near the Church of St Mary, also known as Our Lady of the Pirates, pebbly Gusarica Beach is a good place to start. It’s only a few minutes’ walk from the centre of town and has decent facilities, including showers, changing rooms and a restaurant. A little further out, there’s the sheltered beach of Kamenice which is also very pleasant thanks to the clear seas and nearby pine groves. A relaxed nudist beach, Novo Pošta, lies a short distance down the coast.

Komiža is a fairly small town but it has a lot to offer. The spectacular setting lends itself to any outdoor activity, whether it’s sailing, swimming or simply dining at one of the many excellent restaurants. If it looks strangely familiar, you may have seen it featured in Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again – organised tours can take you to the locations seen in the film.

Gastronomy plays a big part in life on Vis, so be sure to sample some of its treats during your stay. Seafood is big, with octopus and squid regulars on the local menus. The excellent Vuguva wine produced on the island will impress with its honey-like taste, and be sure to leave room for dessert too – tasty hroštule pastries flavoured with liqueur, and traditional cviti biscuits, are among the delicacies to look out for.
