Vacation Rental Description

Recommended by the Lonely Planet and Time Out Guides to Croatia, this attractive stone townhouse has real appeal, located centrally in Vis town yet hidden away in a delightful Mediterranean courtyard. Spacious and comfortable, it sleeps six people (eight using the sofabed), with a full DVD and video collection available for the rare rainy day. Original details such as the wood-fired stove, Venetian-style balcony and exposed wooden beams provide oodles of character.

With the seafront just metres away, you will find a mouth-watering selection of local restaurants and bars within easy strolling distance, as well as some stunning local beaches. Shops, the fishmonger, and an open-air market are also nearby for those who prefer to take advantage of the house's self-catering facilities. More unusually, our well-stocked kitchen also offers a treasure chest of toys for the beach as well as two bicycles – so help yourselves!

Kuca Visoka (The Tall House) is ideal for couples, groups of friends, families, artists, nature-lovers, gourmets and sun worshippers. And if you love cricket, we may even be able to fix you up for a match with the island's homegrown cricket club, Vis CC.

Kick back and relax on Vis and let yourself be seduced by the slow pace of life, the fine wines and food, and the stunning scenery.

Hire a car, scooter or bicycle to tour the island's incredible coastline and inland wineries and olive plantations, or simply hang out at the beach to swim, snorkel or laze in the sun.

Boat tours run regularly from Vis Town to Modra Spilja (the Blue Cave), a sight to behold with its otherworldly blue light.

Crib up on the island's rich history, dating from Greek times and through Venetian, Austrian and British occupation, at the town's main museum.

Cricket lovers may even be able to play with the island's homegrown cricket team - just let us know in advance.

Travel Options

Nearest Airport : Split at 0 kilometers distance;
Travel Info: Vis Island can be reached by direct ferry from Split. FERRIES: From Split you can catch a car-ferry or catamaran to Vis for c€ 4 per person (car € 25 extra) - the crossing takes 2 hours by ferry, one and a half hours by catamaran. When do the ferries to and from Vis depart? Jadrolinija is the largest Croatian ferry operator in the Adriatic. Please check their website for the most up to date timetables. International lines Jadrolinija sail Ancona/Split at 9-10pm 3/4 times a week depending on the season, and arrive near 6-7am in the morning in either direction. This gives you plenty of time to either catch your Ancona flight back to the UK or your ferry to Vis. During the summer months there is also a catamaran that runs overnight from Ancona direct to Vis, but it leaves near midnight in both directions, and only on Sundays. Croatia lines Jadrolinija car ferries run to and from Vis twice a day outside of peak season and three times a day during the summer. Times can vary depending on the day of the week, so check the timetables carefully to make sure you don't miss your connecting ferry/flight on the way back. Jadrolinija also runs a catamaran that takes an hour and fifteen minutes and costs no more than the normal ferry - please check their website for the latest sailing schedules. In the summer months, there are also ferries and catamarans connecting Vis to the islands of Hvar and Korcula, from where you can also catch ferries to Dubrovnik, or Istria in the north of the country. Tickets can be bought over the phone, via the websites or on the day; however, if you wish to book a cabin overnight, it is advisable to book well ahead. FLIGHTS: easyJet fly from London Gatwick to Split all year round from just € 25.99 one way, including all taxes, from April to October. Ryanair offers flights from London Stansted to Zadar or Rijeka from as little as € 9.99 one way. Croatian Airlines flies direct to Split, Zagreb and Dubrovnik all year round. Return flights typically cost between € 150-250 from most European points of origin. German Wings flies from several German cities and London Stansted to Split from around € 25 one way. As always, for the best deals, book as far in advance as you can!

Owner Location Comment

Vis, Croatia's most beautiful and remote inhabited island, lies 40 km off the coast of Dalmatia. It's the Mediterranean as it used to be. You won't find hotel complexes or rampant commercialisation on Vis. What you will find are the friendliest of people, unspoilt, secluded coves, delicious sea-food, stunning scenery and the cleanest waters in the Adriatic.

Owners Profile

We love Croatia and Montenegro so much we moved here from the UK!

Hi, we're Ben and Emma Heywood. We bought our holiday home on the island of Vis, Croatia, in 2004, and are still completely in love with the island and our house there, Kuca Visoka. Our visits to sunny Croatia inspired us to change our lives and we bought a second property in ex-Yugslavia in 2008 at Lake Skadar in Montenegro. After extensive restorations, we entertained our first holiday guests at Villa Miela in 2011, using it as a base for our new activity holiday company, Undiscovered Montenegro (www.undiscoveredmontenegro.com). We still have to pinch ourselves to believe we have swapped our offices to be kayaking, hiking and cycling guides in an of outstanding natural beauty. Topping it all off, our baby Freddy joined us in 2011.
