The kitchen invites you to enjoy local food made from fresh local produce, which you can buy directly from the lovely villa owners. There is also a bathroom with a bathtub on the ground floor. On the second floor you will find three comfortable, individually furnished bedrooms (2 with double beds and 1 with 2 single beds). This rural retreat offers everything you could possibly need for an incredible vacation. Villa Gardens is located in the small village of Duge Njive immersed within the spectacular karst landscape typical for the Dalmatian hinterland. There is a local restaurant at only 500 m from the villa, offering traditional spit roasted lamb and delicious homemade ham and cheese. For a larger variety of restaurants, bars and stores head to Vrgorac (cca. 20 km). This small town boasts rich cultural and gastronomic heritage which can be witnessed in the beautiful ethno-villages and agrotourisms of the area. The highlight is, however, the nearby Makarska Riviera, with its heavenly beaches, fragrant pinewoods and the stunning Biokovo Mountain towering above the glorious coastline. Lively nightlife and a rich variety of water sports are available here, as well as daily trips to the beautiful islands of Hvar and Brac. With mountains, sea and rivers side by side, this region is also a perfect playground for adventure enthusiasts. Can comfortably fit up to 6 people
