About this property
With the beach just 800m away, the beautiful Villa Vigora makes the perfect base for getting out and seeing Makarska. Offering the use of a heated outdoor pool and sun terrace, it’s great for a smaller group who just want to chill out, and its close proximity to the local amenities just makes life even easier.
Up to eight guests can be accommodated in this sea-view villa, located in one of the Adriatic’s most alluring destinations. The beauty of the Makarska Riviera can be seen all around, and you will be just 1km from the centre of town, which sits beside a pretty harbour in the shadow of the unmissable Mount Biokovo.
Villa Vigora has three double bedrooms, each of the air-conditioned, which share the use of two bathrooms with showers. The comfortable bedrooms have a contemporary style and offer lots of storage space in fitted wardrobes. There is extra sleeping space for two more guests in the living area.
Numerous open and covered outdoor spaces offer you the chance to relax in the sunshine, with a barbecue another highlight of this villa. There’s a covered dining space within full view of the pool, and terrace areas perfect for informal drinks and snacks.
Inside, you have a large, open-plan living area with more dining space, L-shaped sofa and flatscreen TV with satellite channels, and a kitchen with large fridge freezer, eye-level oven, coffee machine and dishwasher.
You won’t want to miss the stunning mountain landscapes which lend such rich character to Makarska – they make for rewarding exploration and you don’t have to stray far from town to appreciate them. Biokovo provides an imposing background for the town’s Kačić square, which is something of a focal point – you can join the sightseers there and may catch an event or festival. It’s no distance at all to get from town centre to the harbour, so you can spend your days shopping, boating and checking out the local history, without the need to travel far.
Makarska is the sort of destination you won’t forget – the jewel of the Makarska Riviera has it all, with wonderful pebble and sandy beaches, a relaxed atmosphere, elegant old buildings and a mountain view just part of the story.
The presence of Mount Biokovo is more than a scenic one, it also ensures that the climate of Makarska remains reliably hospitable. Mild in winter and warm in summer, Makarska enjoys more than 2750 hours of sun each year – although the 2000m high peaks of Biokovo present a snowy contrast. Exploring the mountainous areas is one of the pleasures of Makarska, exposing you to a variety of plant and animal species as you go. Among the sights worth seeking out are the holy shrine of Vepric at the foot of the hills, and Kotišina botanical garden.
Cafés and bars line up alongside the harbour and in Makarska’s Kačić square, and the town’s status as an important tourist destination means there’s no shortage of fine restaurants to try. Innovative local specialities and excellent Croatian wines make it an experience to be savoured, and the welcome is likely to be a warm one. The nightlife is relaxed and friendly, and you shouldn’t have trouble finding somewhere to continue the fun late into the evening.
There is plenty to keep the children entertained too, including the new observatory and Astro Park, which adults may enjoy as well. Water-sports and boat trips to nearby islands provide more excuses to get out and about, as do a number of historic attractions – the Franciscan monastery and the Church of St Mark, which must surely have one of the most amazing backdrops of any church, are great places to start.
