Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Podaca

Outstanding. The most peaceful little place to stay for a short trip. The view is as beautiful as the pictures show. I was staying alone and it was perfect. I brought my laptop to watch movies but didn’t need to, the TV has all the streaming services you can sign into! Very easy to walk into the city - felt very safe and great views along the way. I will miss sitting on this balcony!

We had a wonderful stay in Jelsa – the accommodation was exactly what we were looking for in a relaxing vacation. It is peacefully and idyllically located, yet just a 5-minute walk from the center of Jelsa, making it the perfect base for exploring the town and the island of Hvar. Our host Benko was absolutely fantastic – very friendly, helpful, and always available whenever we had questions or needed recommendations. You can tell right away that he genuinely cares about the well-being of his guests. The accommodation itself was clean, well-maintained, and well-equipped, with everything you need. We felt very comfortable and welcome, and truly enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere. We would come back anytime and can highly recommend staying with Benko!

I had such a wonderful stay at Josip’s place! The views were absolutely breathtaking — overlooking the mountains and the sparkling water, it truly felt like a slice of paradise. The apartment itself was spacious and comfortable, with a generously sized bed and bathroom that made the stay extra relaxing. Josip was incredibly kind and welcoming, which made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The location couldn’t have been better — just a short walk to everything you could need, including the water taxi which made exploring the area so convenient. I ended up staying two nights. Thank you, Josip, for your hospitality and for sharing such a beautiful space. I would absolutely stay here again!

We had an amazing stay at Davor’s apartment, it was clean, very well organised, a topnotch view from the balcony and good location. I definitely recommend it and would stay once again if I’m back to Dubrovnik.

Everything was super. The apartment had everything you need, nice balcony, quiet location and walking distance to everything. Helena was very kind and helpful.

What a place and experience! Nataša was fantastic, meeting us at apt and answering ALL questions. Recommendations enhanced experience. The view might give you reason not to explore Dubrovnik but it only gets better. Leaving with wonderful memories!

A sublime and peaceful area. Apartment in the best location. Iris and her husband were very helpful and attentive. I loved the welcome liqueur, very similar to our Portuguese Port wine, and the appetizers. The decoration inside and the common area outside is very pleasant and welcoming. Very clean and tidy. I loved it, I hope to return there again, it will be my first choice. Thank you

What can we say. We have just spent 10 wonderful days here and we enjoyed it so much. Breakfast on the terrace, walking to old town, wonderful trip around the islands with George not to mention the lovely wine he and his son make. The apartment was lovely. Thank you all. Max and Darrell.

Ivana was an excellent host and she responded to all our messages promptly and was extremely helpful. We visited as 6 adults. The property is essentially two apartments. One on the top floor with two bedrooms and one on the ground floor. Both very clean and tidy The pool house is a lovely feature with amazing views of Sunmartin. There are two restaurants and a bar within walking distance and Sunmartin is a 5 minute drive away (approx another 6 restaurants and bars). Tommy's supermarket is also 5 minutes drive away. There are lots of areas locally to swim in the fantastic clear blue sea. Ivana ensures her guests have everything they need to enjoy their time in Selca. If you are looking for an unspoilt part of the world that hasn't yet been hit by tourism then look no further than Villa Diamond.

We spent an incredible 6 nights here. The views are out of this world. We loved the easy access to Sveta Nedilja's small but beautiful beach just below the house. The property has so many options for outside seating and lounging, and every corner is as beautiful as the next. We also loved the local restaurant, a 2 minute walk away! Marija is a wonderful, warm and kind host who made us feel so welcome. We cannot recommend this place highly enough!

The stay was nice, the house is really small but sufficient for two. Beautiful garden. Hostess was always easily accessible. The way to the beach is a little further than expected.

Stayed in the apartment for a full week! A very nice place to explore the lower part of Croatia. Beach within walking distance. Nice place to park the car. Wonderfully cool and clean apartment with a fantastic view! I want to go back!

Our stay here for 2 days in transit was perfect. The cottage and the garden are very pleasant , especially with our two small children, and the immediate surroundings are greener than can be seen in the photos. The cottage is very close to the waterfalls that are breathtakingly beautiful, and Ilijana also gave us the tip for a very nice beautiful swimming place nearby. We were received and waved off super friendly. Thank you Ilijana for the nice stay! Tip: make sure you have cash for the restaurants at the waterfalls and for the tasty treats in Ilijana's shop. (Honey jam and more)

We loved Inas place! Beautiful view and surroundings!

I had a great stay at Tom’s villa! It’s in a beautiful setting with incredible views of the Adriatic and the mountains in the distance, with a sparkling pool and vineyards in between - stunning! Shops and restaurants nearby were open during the first few days of my stay but closed down in early October. Plenty of great restaurants in Jelsa though which was still walking distance from the villa (3km). Tom had wine, and other drinks in the fridge and snacks on the table prior to checking which was so appreciated and the kitchen is stocked with everything you need for cooking (spices, oils, etc). Don’t hesitate, if you’re looking for a great villa in a perfect setting, book Villa Tomic!

Thanks to Igor and marija, We had spent wonderful 6 days here. Place is literally located in the beach . Having a huge terrace made everything much more relaxed . Totally recommended!

Alberto was an amazing host. The location is amazing and the garden is beautiful. Alberto truly went above and beyond!

Absolutely beautiful stay in a quiet yet central location. I absolutely loved staying at Ines’ place, and found it to be really great value. Just note, the coordinates on the listing are a little off, but the address is correct. So I would recommend just reaching out to Ines beforehand for some details on the location or she could even send you a pin. She is always very responsive and helpful. The apartment is clean and so cute, it has everything you’ll need for a short stay, and the real draw of this place is the beautiful outdoor space, which is a small garden with some Mediterranean trees like orange and fig. How amazing to wake up surrounded by trees and birds but still be in the city! The outdoor space is shared between three apartments but is very quiet, and you also have a little private area on the side next to the door. Also, the bed is very comfortable- I felt like Ines really cared for her place and maintains it beautifully. Would love to come back some day!

We had a wonderful week in Pisak. Great view of the sea and coast. The bay is directly accessible via a staircase and is fantastically quiet. You have the feeling that everything is prepared with love. The apartment offers everything you need and we felt very comfortable.

Kristina’s apartment is equipped with top quality furniture and decoration. It is very spacious. The best part is the two balconies facing to the ocean, you can sit there enjoying the sunrises and sunsets. There is a little bit walk to the old town, but it’s quite pleasant walk. Kristina and Robi are excellent hosts. They greet to their guests in person and give very detailed information about Dubrovnik, and they are very responsive. It was a very pleasant stay in Kristina’s place. I highly recommend it.

LOCATION is perfect esp. if you want to avoid the steps. The place is suoer clean and bigger than the picture.

We had a fantastic stay at Ivo’s apartment in Lumbarda. The location is perfect and the photos struggle to capture the beauty of view you get from the front terrace (there are two terraces!). Nothing separates you from the sea apart from the local road to the centre of town. There are a couple of very small sandy beaches in the town but 15 minutes walk to a beautiful large sandy beach. If you have a car we recommend Pupnatska Luka as our favourite beach - windy small road to get there but its worth it! Ivo and his wife were perfect hosts - lovely to deal with and very helpful. The apartment is bright open and spotless with everything you need for a comfortable stay. We would love to come back in the future.

Ana Maria and her mom were fantastic hosts! Ana Maria welcomed us as if we were family and was always available to recommend restaurants and beaches. The house is just as pictured, quiet and well divided and very close to one of the most beautiful beaches in Bol. Very close to the center of the village and easily reachable on foot. Thanks Ana Maria for this beautiful vacation! Best regards, Giulia

Dina’s apartment is so nice we had an amazing stay :) it had everything we needed, was very clean and in a good location. Parking was a huge advantage too. Dina’s cousin Antea was very helpful made checking in so easy and gave us great recommendations.
