The blue villa on the seafront is perfect! We have just returned after a two week stay to celebrate our 25th wedding anniversary. We couldn’t have made a better choice. Everything we needed was within a 5 minute walk from the villa. There is a well stocked shop with a lovely bakery about 200 m away and many places to eat nearby. We had a nice meal at Konoba Forte, which is just 100m from the house. We had great pizza at Restaurant Martimo which is 100m further on from the shop. But the restaurant we used most was Karmella, which has an island seating area that we reserved for our wedding anniversary, just a 2 minute walk from Villa Charlotte. They serve a delicious calamari and lovely draught beer! The staff were very friendly. This side of Viganj is quiet and is perfect for relaxing. If you walk in the opposite direction along the quiet seafront road you eventually arrive at the watersport centre. There are many windsurfing/kitesurfing schools where you can hire equipment or book lessons. This side of the village had more bars and was popular with the younger members of the family.
We spent most days sunbathing on the patio enjoying the breathtaking view. It was great being able to dive into the sea from the patio and we spent a lot of time snorkeling. When you come out of the sea there is an outside shower, which was useful to wash away the salt. Above the shower there is a raised seating area which was spectacular. If it got too hot in the afternoon you could sit here under the straw roof and cool off in the breeze.
On the side of the house there is a great BBQ. Every other day you can buy fresh fish from the quay by the shop. We would recommend the Sea bream which was lovely cooked on the BBQ watching lovely sunsets over the bay. We would recommend an evening visit to Korcula, which is like a mini Dubrovnik. We caught the ferry from the quay by the shop. But you can also hire a water taxi.
We booked our transfer with Octopus transfers, who we would highly recommend.
Everything we needed was in the villa; high speed wifi, spacious comfortable rooms, plenty of towels and plates, glasses etc.
We had a very memorable and enjoyable stay and we hope to return one day.
