About this property

Restored Sea Captains House, Seafront, Private Pool, ,Bikes , laserpico,kayaks

Villa Rosa is an ideal holiday place for families or a group of friends. It has its own private pool, many sunbeds and is surrounded by an authentic stone wall to reinforce your privacy. The open outdoor BBQ area has comfortable sofas and tables, which is great for entertaining guests and spending quality time with friends and family. There are also 2 large terraces at the front of the villa overlooking the sea , with a large stone dining table.

The waterfront villa also offers 2 kayaks, a ‘laser pico’ sailing dinghy and over 6 bikes to suit the whole family. Also, an outdoor tennis table is available guaranteed to entertain you for hours.


The villa is an innovative mixture of traditional Mediterranean architecture and a modern twist. The combination of the two contrasting themes creates a unique home, emphasising the local tradition and natural beauties. The warmth of the wood and hand carved stone depict the welcoming tone of the villa as it echoes the medieval roots.

Villa Rosa is a beautiful, traditional, waterfront villa located in the heart of Viganj. The small picturesque village of Viganj is located directly on the beach, overlooking the crystal clear Adriatic sea. Villa Rosa accommodates all the necessities for an unforgettable holiday experience with endless activities. Whilst also providing tranquility and relaxation with the amenities of the villa including the breathtaking views of the sea from the front and rear terraces.

In prime season there are many family run restaurants, all serving fresh locally caught fish and 3 bars within a 5-minute walk. The local shop is only a 1-minute stroll away, selling all the basics you should need to accompany your stay. Located opposite the shop is the ferry. The 10-minute journey transports you to the beautiful island of Korcula, where you can first-hand experience the Mediterranean ambiance.

Viganj also is known to be Croatias best windsurfing and Kitesurfing area. Waterdonkey school has the best tuition for beginners and all levels of ability. It attracts people from all over Europe. It is also possible to hire SUP , Kayaks and extra bikes from here. Theres a small beach bar which is the perfect place to watch the sun go down , whilst enjoying a drink.

Viganj is also a favourite spot for bike riders or mountain climbers .


I can also assist you with cheap airport transfer if you wish , or advise you on car hire, wine excursions , day trips etc . We also can help with boat hire , water taxis to korchula, or anything to make your stay at our Villa more enjoyable.

Over the last few years there have been a few outstanding restaurants opened on their own islands , which are possible to get to by water taxi or your own boat . These islands are spectacular , as is the food! With some fantastic photo opportunities for the teenagers!!

We have a wonderful house manager who speaks fluent English , plus several other languages who will assist you with anything you made need during your stay.

Please feel free to phone on 0044 7745309227 if you have any further questions. We look forward to speaking with you .

Most beautiful stay at the Captain‘s house
Wir waren 7 Erwachsene und 4 Kinder und hatten einen ganz wunderbaren Aufenthalt im Captain‘s house. Sally und ihr Mann haben das alte Gebäude mit viel Liebe und Gespür für seinen Geist renoviert und eingerichtet. Alles ist luftig, schön und persönlich, ohne zu privat zu wirken. Allein die Küche könnte für den Preis und die Anzahl an Menschen, die dort zusammen wohnen und bekocht werden wollen, etwas besser ausgestattet sein. Die Möglichkeit, entweder innerhalb von 2 Minuten in den Pool oder innerhalb von 5 Minuten ins Meer zu springen, ist unbezahlbar. Für’s Meer muss man nur über die so gut wie unbefahrene kleine Straße vorm Haus gehen, wo ein paar kleine Boote liegen und man entweder über die Kiesel ins Meer laufen oder vom Pier springen kann. Der ganze Ort ist entspannt mit netter Camper- und Surfer Crowd, kein Touristen- und Souvenieroverkill. Die Terrasse mit Sofas und Grill hinter der Küche ist großzügig und lädt (mehr als auf den Fotos, finde ich) zum Lesen, gemeinsamen Essen und Verweilen ein. Wir hatten genug Platz zusammen und auch genug Platz, uns mal ein wenig aus dem Weg zu gehen. Was wir kaum wollten, weil alles so schön war, dass die Laune immer gut war.

Summer holiday with friends
We were a group of 10 with adult children. The house was in a great location. A quiet road in front of the house where people walk/cycle up and down. Supermarket and bakery a stones throw away and restaurants / ferry to Korcula very nearby. Wind surfing lessons were enjoyed by the children. You really don’t need a car. Use of bikes and kayaks was a bonus.

Great summer destination
Viganj is a perfect destination for an active and relaxing summer holiday. The old stone house was beautifully restored by the owners. We have had a few hiccups with a dishwasher and a water boiler in the kitchen. The property manager Bozo/Bob was fantastic and very helpful. He was very welcoming and made sure we had everything we needed during our stay. We loved biking, windsurfing and kayaking during our stay.

About the host

Hosted by Sally Rowe

Host profile image
After spending time searching around different locations in Croatia, we stumbled upon the small village of Viganj and instantly fell in love with its unique rustic charm. We viewed many different sites in the area until we found the soon to be Villa Rosa and embarked on the journey of resurrecting the ruin to becoming a welcoming family home. Originally the villa was built approximately 300 years ago by a sea captain. The historic charm of the villa and village influenced us into ensuring that we kept to the true Dalmatian background when restoring the house into what it is now. We bought the house in 2004 and after 4 years of renovations we have carefully retained the original features but also offer a modern elegance.

Why they chose this property

Villa Rosa is a fantastic seafront location and situated ideally in the heart of Viganj.
The property is suited for 2 families or large groups and perfect for relaxing and listening to the waves. Close enough to find more live on the Island of Korcula by foot ferry or private speedboat ( which we can arrange)

What makes this property unique

Viganj is a small tourist place on the western part of the Peljesac peninsula, only 8km from Orebic.It is said that Viganj is a botanical garden in itself, rich with flowers and bushes brought as gifts by seamen to their beloved wives from their journeys. The population has long been involved in agriculture, fishing and, more recently, tourism.
Visit historical sites such as: the St. Ivan church (located on an eponymous hill and offers a beautiful view of the Peljesac canal), St. Ilija hill and the Nakrana village.
Viganj is rich with pebble beaches and is very popular among sports and active vacation fans, especially those who enjoy water activities (windsurfing, sailing, diving…).
