Smoking-friendly holiday rentals in Podgora

We had a most memorable stay at ivor’s place. The price point was incredibly reasonable for what we got. The view and amenities were outstanding. Ivor was always responsive, and when he wasn’t available on site, his mother was very helpful. It was so nice to feel part of the community! It’s such an idyllic village, and it was even more perfect because the huge tourist rush was coming to an end. We can’t say enough good things about the apartment, Ivor and his family, and we’d highly recommend staying with them. Thank you Ivor and family for your kindness and hospitality 😊❤️

This place is a jewel. The view from the balcony is wonderful - it is tempting to enjoy watching the harbor activity exclusively. But the short walk to the Riva and easy access to the commercial port facilities adds value. A grocery store is downstairs! Helena was very helpful with every question and particularly with guidance on places to see and means to get there in and around Split. Should we visit Split again, Helena's place will be first on our wish list.

Nice apartment, with a very nice view (you really feel like you're on holiday). A beach is nearby, within walking distance and very pleasant for swimming with shaded areas. A washing machine is also available.

Anita's flat is located in the heart of Split—close to the ferry and old town. Despite being in a central location, the street is very quiet and peaceful. The flat is really stylish and well equipped - a great place to relax after a day of sightseeing! It has everything you need from air conditioning to a washing machine. We especially enjoyed sitting on the terrace for our morning coffee. A peaceful, convenient place to stay—we’d happily return!

We join all positive reviews. Ivana is the best host we've ever met, as well as Billy and the cat. The apartment is totally cozy, you lack nothing. We even found a bottle of water, homemade cakes and fresh cherries. We liked that there were both feather pillows and cotton pillows. The outdoor kitchen is fantastic and equipped with everything. The highlight is of course the large terrace with a wonderful view of the bay. There were so many beautiful seating options. Billy liked to accompany us to the village and was not intrusive to our old dog and in general. You just have to love him. It was difficult for us to say goodbye - thank you for this wonderful holiday.

Great stay in Hvar. The flat was clean, comfortable, and had everything we needed. It’s located a bit uphill from the town center, but still within walking distance of the port, restaurants, and beaches. The standout was the host, who kindly picked us up from the ferry port—much appreciated after a long travel day. Check-in was smooth, and communication throughout was excellent. A quiet spot to return to after the buzz of Hvar town. Would definitely recommend.

Natali’s apartment has a great view to the bay and Pakleni islands. Very clean bedroom and bathroom and fully stocked kitchen. She also provided us with a portable fridge and a beach umbrella. Parking is available outside the property. Great place to stay just outside Hvar city centre.

We can not recommend Majda’s place enough! It’s a true hidden gem. Majda and her family are such wonderful hosts and made us feel welcome right from the start. The place is perfectly located and offers incredible views from the balcony - we loved watching the sunsets. If you are thinking of booking a stay with Majda, wait no longer and just do it! We’ll definitely be back :)

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!

Despite the late time, we were warmly welcomed by Ante's sister with ham, cheese and fresh strawberries. The place is really outstanding - this one was very clean, the kitchen was fully equipped, and the sea view is priceless. We felt very comfortable right away. There was a parking space on the property. You can reach the sea for less than five minutes. There's a beach bar right there, too. We will be happy to come back! ☀️

We loved our stay here! The apartment is located on a side street right next to 2 amazing wine/tapas places and steps away from amazing restaurants right on the water. The views from the apartment were just incredible as well. The apartment is 5 floors which was perfect for our family so we could all have our own space. The location of this apartment could not be better and the service from the hosts was amazing as well- we felt right at home! If you want an authentic and unforgettable experience in Korčula, this is the place for you!

We had a wonderful stay at Ante’s place! The home was cozy, clean, and exactly as described. The location was perfect for a peaceful getaway, and I appreciated all the thoughtful touches throughout the space, which made my stay comfortable and relaxing. The host was responsive and accommodating, which added to the overall pleasant experience. The only minor issue was that the internet connection was a bit slow at times, and mobile data didn’t work as well as expected, but it didn’t take away from the charm of the stay. It’s a great spot if you’re looking to unplug and enjoy some downtime. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for a serene escape!

Very pleasant hosts. Strongly recommended.

A truly idyllic place to unwind. We had a lovely week of swimming, kayaking and relaxing away from people (the property can only be accessed by boat so it is very peaceful and quiet). The host was very communicative - we can definitely recommend and would love to return to this unique property again!!

Wonderful stay right by the sea! We really enjoyed our stay in this house! We received a very warm welcome on arrival. We immediately felt welcome. Dado, the father of the family, greeted us with a culinary surprise and let us taste his incredibly good olive oil. The location is truly unique: right by the water, with a wonderful view from the balcony and from the house's separated terrace on the other side of the street. We always had breakfast and dinner there. A few steps lead directly down to the rocky jetty, from where you can swim in the crystal-clear sea. The bay of Stomorska is just a five-minute walk away. The village is really pretty, had a small well-stocked supermarket (with fresh bread/rolls) open in mid-April and a nice little cafe/bar. We really enjoyed our stay as a family, it was a great vacation for us in a very special location and with a very nice landlord. We can only warmly recommend the stay!

Stayed here with 2 other friends and had an absolutely amazing time, the place was spotless upon entry and the hosts provided extensive information on how to get into the place and it’s amenities. They are super responsive and helpful with any thing you may need, will definitely stay here again. Split is beautiful and this place is in walking distance of everything we needed. 5/5 stars as we have literally no complaints. Thank you for making this part of our trip unforgettable!

Our stay at Vida's place in Croatia was just perfect! Vida is an exceptionally kind and helpful host – you immediately feel welcome with her. The house is well equipped, really nothing is missing, and everything was spotlessly clean. We were also particularly enthusiastic about the location: the sea is only a few steps away, perfect for relaxing days on the beach. We highly recommend staying with Vida and will be happy to come back!

The Studio flat was really great with everything you need for a holiday. It is very close to Split airport so only 10 minuits by taxi. Enough distance so that there is hardly any aircraft noise. It is literally across the road from the beach. All the beaches have fine slightly sharp gravel so take beach shoes. The Island of Trogir is a 10 minuite bus journey ride away that stops practically outside the door. You can also easily bus to many little beaches with changing places and showers. There are Water sports, buses, water taxis close by and a ferry to Split. The host is really nice, always contactable, very helpful and full of local knowledge. I cannot recommend the wonderful host and her family enough in this perfect location.

Our 4 night stay at Tea's was perfect. Very clean, functional accommodation with beautiful terrace with breathtaking views of the sea and its mountains. Access to a beach 10 min walk and descents of very steep stairs but worth it. Very pretty beach! Parking space just next to the apartment. Tea is a thoughtful, responsive and available host. I highly recommend this place.

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

Extremely available and hospitable, highly recommended

Solo traveller review: I had the pleasure of staying a month, off season (Jan) and couldn’t have hoped for a better experience. The location is perfect, you’re in the historical centre but it’s on the outskirts where people still live year round rather than rent out. (Whilst on an independent tour of the city I was recommended to go to this neighbourhood for proper food). I was greeted warmly, made to feel very much at home and the apartment’s got plenty of privacy. The most noise you’ll come across will be the ringing of church bells. The pictures are accurate, it’s a 2nd floor apartment with it’s own entrance, there’s a table and chairs for morning coffees right outside the door but I was also given free use of the lower garden and the bbq. Although this is a solo trip review I would say the apartment would work comfortably for 3 people or a family for a proper holiday rather than just a weekend. This was my favourite stay in my 3 months of travel Ita-Slo-Pol-Cro.
