A group of 20 of us booked the entire villa for a week. We couldn’t have been more pleased with the accommodations. GG and his wife are attentive, knowledgeable, friendly and responsive hosts. We appreciated their added services which included scheduling outings, dinners and lunches for our group. We enjoyed the morning buffet, afternoons by the pools and evenings watching the sunset on the balcony. Would definitely stay here again. Thank you for hosting a wonderful vacation!!

We were a large group of 22 people (6 families with adults and teens) staying at Villa GG for a week and we had an amazing time there ! The Villa was better than presented, with plenty of room for adults and children to spread out or congregate for meals and lounging. The pool area is fabulous and the Villa is in walking distance to the beach, restaurants and a small market. Each morning, we were greeted with a delicious breakfast spread ! GG, Ivana and staff were wonderful and very accommodating throughout the week. They planned a traditional Croatian Barbecue dinner, A pizza cocktail evening and a day trip to Dubrovnik for us to enjoy. We loved our week in Croatia at Villa GG and would most definitely return !!! Thank you for such a memorable 50 Birthday Celebration with our beloved friends and their families!!!

I cannot say positive things about our stay! It would take me an hour a day for a week to properly praise GG, Ivana, the staff (and the bunnies) enough, BUT I will do my best.
1.) Before the trip, the communication between GG (the host) and I was first-rate! If GG did not respond to me right away, it wasn't more than a few hours, and this was amazing because there was a 6-hour time difference! That made me feel important and welcomed before we stepped foot onto the property.
2.) Additionally, prior to the trip, GG was accommodating to a few changes/requests we had for our stay. He was always polite, professional, and willing to entertain and oblige whenever he could.
3.) GG ensured our transportation to and from the airport was taken care of. This was important to us because we had eight adults and six children (one who needed a car seat), and visiting a country none of us had ever been to, the potential uncertainty of our safety getting to and from the property was concerning- GG made sure we felt comfortable.
4.) Upon our arrival, we were promptly greeted by GG (who helped us gather our many, many, many bags and bring them up to the house (via the many, many steps to get there- which, at first, seemed daunting, but was okay after a day or so). GG gave us the house's history (where he grew up) and provided us with a tour of the amazing setting for which we would stay for about five days.

We loved our stay at the beautiful villa of GG. Our host helped us with airport transportation and with activities in Split. I would definitely recommend the private dining with a chef. Big thanks again GG!!

VillaGG was an amazing stay with the best host that we could of ask for. The villa spacious, clean and beautiful. Only a few steps from the beach and conveniently situated near a mini mart.
GG was everything you could ever want out of a gracious host. Delicious breakfast every morning and had a private dinner waiting for us when we arrived. We were so impressed we ended up having a second private dinner.
GG also set up transportation for our excursions and as well as other recommendations to make sure we got the most out of our stay. A big thank you to him and his staff.

We were a multigenerational family of 20 people (from age 4 to 82 yrs) and found this villa to be a perfect set up for our group. There was common space for us to gather and the dining table comfortably accommodated all 20 of us. GG was truly an amazing host whose hospitality was unmatched. During the planning stages of our trip, he was so responsive and assured that he would take care of all our requests. He helped arrange private transportation from Dubrovnik to Split for our family in a beautiful and comfortable bus. The villa is a 20 min ride into the heart of Split and he arranged a lot of transportation needs during our stay. It is also easy to do Uber there as well, but we found the private car transportation the most convenient.
There was a gorgeous spread of breakfast (probably the best in Split!) every morning that everyone thoroughly enjoyed. GG went above and beyond to assure that our needs were met. We also found it very convenient to have a couple of dinners prepared at the villa by the chef.
We also enjoyed the beach which was about a 5 min walk down the road. At sunset, you should also go to the top floor of the villa which provides a beautiful view.
We all very much enjoyed our stay and highly recommend this property. Thank you for your warm hospitality, GG!

We stayed at Grgo’s beautiful property for 2 weeks, first with a group of friends and then with our family. Our reception on the first day was just a precursor as to what was to come! Grgo welcomed us warmly and had a most-welcome spread of beautiful appetizers and various wines for us to enjoy after a long flight. The house was impeccably clean and beautifully furnished. We enjoyed morning coffee and breakfast (a vast spread of bread, cheeses, homemade pastries and delicious fresh fruit) each morning—-more than enough food to get us on our way. Grgo spared no expense to make sure that our needs were met, from arranging transportation to/from the airport to ensuring that each of our groups had the best possible tour guides to various activities. We enjoyed trips to Krka and Zadar, not to mention a fantastic day on the water, visiting the Blue Cave and the most beautiful island of Hvar (very sophisticated—great shopping). When one of our friends left a bag containing his passport in a taxi, it was Grgo to the rescue—-the bag with passport recovered within an hour!! The dinners were spectacular and Grgo made sure to be sure that any dietary restrictions were met —- our gluten-free guests had a wide choice from which to choose. The ladies and staff, including a terrific chef, were absolutely top-notch, always friendly and helpful. I can’t say enough about the house—-we all had plenty of room to be together and also room to be apart when someone needed to work or just have a little “me” time. All in all, I can’t recommend this property or Grgo any more highly—-he will ensure that your vacation is one that you’ll never forget! We’re already looking forward to returning!

We had a group of 18 friends and family members visiting Split for a week, this villa was an absolutely perfect setup for us to enjoy our time in Croatia. It’s well renovated and beautifully maintained with AC in every room. The views of the Mediterranean from the balconies are stunning. The staff were perfect and I especially recommend booking the chef, it was ideal to just have him grocery shop and prepare breakfast and dinner for everyone at the villa. The dining room table on the first floor accommodated up to 22 people so it was prefect.

The house is amazing and perfect for a larger group. Ivo could not have taken better care of us. Best host you can wish for. He knows all the spots and got all the connections. The house is literally 6 min walk from the beach and a short cab ride to split. Our trip coincided with the pandemic but Gg and Ivo could not have made us feel more safe and welcome. 5 stars through and through. Highly recommend!!!

The property is fabulous. It is exactly as the pictures show. There were 15 of us and we had lots of space. The property is a 20 minute drive into Split town. Ivo was happy to arrange transport but we largely used uber, which was very reasonable. There is a supermarket/bakery at the bottom of the road for the basics. It is also ideally situated beside the beach.
The pool area was fabulous and very well maintained. Each floor had everything we needed and there was lots of space for dining.
Ivo, our host, where do I begin to describe him. Ivo was the most attentive host, he went over and above in everything he did. He helped us arrange food and drinks for the property, he booked restaurants for us, he picked up pizza and delivered it to the property, he joined us for an evening out and showed us some great bars. He really made the weekend run smoothly. We arrived early and were met by Ivo who had prepared a beautiful reception of meat/cheeses and wine. Ivo sat with us and explained everything we needed to know and insisted that nothing was too much.
We will definitely be returning to the property in the future.
Thank you so much for a very memorable stay. You have made me a very happy Hen!! x

This property is so lovely and perfect for a large group! We had 18 family members from 18 to 82 years old. The views are spectacular. Being a family of chefs the kitchens were well stocked so we could make our fabulous meals. Beds were comfortable, plenty of sheets and towels ! Beautiful pool area! GG and our Host IVo were helpful and accommodating with sightseeing info and more. My son forgot some clothes in his closet when we left and Ivo sent them to him at our next Airbnb. Really over the top! Thanks guys!
Highly recommend and hope to come again soon!!!!!

Such an incredible time - we were a group of 22 with friends visiting also and there was so much space for all of us. Photos don’t do the villa justice - it was beautiful. The local area is great, you really don’t need anything else than what’s there. Both Grgo and Ivo are amazing. I hurt my arm before I arrived and they even took my stitches out for me and came to check on me to make sure everything was okay. They were so helpful with sorting activities , some of us took a boat trip which was amazing - highly recommend. They organised restaurant bookings too - really couldn’t ask for more. Really chilled , loved it. The holiday blues are real.

We can’t say enough good things about our stay at villa GG. Grgo the owner and Ivo our host couldn’t have been more gracious and helpful. The villa is spectacular and perfect for large gatherings. The views are incredible and we are a Very short walk from the beach, restaurants and the market. I highly recommend this villa and allowing them to help plan excursions for your group. My kids are already asking when we can go back!

The property was perfect for our family, there were nine of us. We actually had bedrooms not used. It’s a beautiful location & house. The only problem we had is very few people took credit cards in their shops & restaurants. They only take Kuna, we were running back & forth to bank machines. Yet all was worth it to see this beautiful country & house was absolutely fabulous. Ivo, the house manager was wonderful! He was there at all times & I assure you we were texting him a lot. Thanks Ivo. Thanks Grgo for letting us stay in your lovely home, also for coming by to check on me.
Fantastic trip...

Villa was better than the pictures! And the concierge service was out of this world! Anything we needed was at our fingertips immediately. We loved Split - plenty to do. I highly recommend the vacation package- you will see and experience things you cannot do on your own. You cannot go wrong with this property!! This was a dream trip.

We all had an excellent relaxing week. There was 16 of us in total, 10 adults and 6 children. The villa is a great size which provided everyone with their own space but at the same time the terrace was huge so we could all enjoy this together during meals. Each floor was large enough for all of us to sit together. The villa is very modern, it was also nice touch that basics like shower gel, toilet roll etc are provided.On arrival we met the owner and Ivo (host for the week). We were given a lovely welcome buffet. During the week Ivo was extremely helpful with booking the tours we wanted to do and making restaurant reservations. The location allowed us to enjoy the local restaurants. If you want to go to Split it takes roughly 20 minutes by car, which again Ivo was happy to organise. The local pebble beach is great for walks. We also went to Hvar, Krka and Omis which were beautiful and I would highly recommend them.

We loved every minute of it, from the moment we met Grgo to seeing our fantastic accommodation and the beautiful reception we got upon arrival. This house has everything you could possibly need for your stay in Podstrana. It is close enough to Split to take a taxi or local bus and the beach is just a few minutes walk. I would highly recommend this spot to all, we were 5 couples and our accommodation was top rate. Grgo is a great host, and supplies you with valuable information to make your stay and sightseeing adventures awesome.

Greg, our host, was one of the nicest and most helpful hosts we've ever had.
The villa is GORGEOUS- perfectly located, luxuriously decorated, and fully stocked with anything you'd ever need. Our welcome baskets were such a nice touch, we felt at home immediately upon arriving.
We had a large group for a work retreat, and Villa GG was the perfect setting for the week. Villa GG made the planners look like we really knew what we were doing. ;) It's really that beautiful.
Do yourself a favor, stop wasting time on searching and BOOK THIS VILLA! :) You will not be disappointed.

Left on 04/21/2014 for a stay in April 2014
We had a wonderful stay at Villa GG and will give it the best recommendation. We were 17adults and two small kids and everybody said it was a fantastic place and vacation. The Villa had everything, baby beds and strollers for the kids, and a play house in the garden. The host , GG, was very kind. He arranged pick up at the airport for us, gave us a warm welcome with wine and a cheese, gave us a lot of good tips on where to eat and what to see. The villa was very modern and had all the facilities we wanted. The main bathroom was like a spa:)
The location of the Villa was also very good. 2 minutes to the beach and a small grocery shop. Very nice area to do exercise like running, bicycle in the mountains and play tennis. We rented a car so it was easy to drive in to Split if we wanted to go to a bigger shopping mall, but GG is also helpful in arranging transportation.
We had a fantastic time and I really hope we will be back soon. Thank you so much GG and Croatia for the unforgettable week!

We had two wonderful weeks at Villa GG. We were twelv persons and rented both middle and top floor which was perfect for us. The property was clean and very well maintained and fulfilled our expectations, which were high. The property has wonderful wiew to the sea and Split.
Mr Grgo was a very nice and helpful host. He recomended good resturants and points of interest. He also helped us to order transport and resturants.
We recomend a visit to resturant Argola in old Podstrana. Our host Grgo recomended that for us and helped us to order.
We would like to recomend this property for those who intend to visit Croatia.

With a group of 17 we stayed on 2 floors (2 families on the upper floor and 2 families on the middle floor),The villa is very good for many people to stay comfortably and with enough space. In addition to our group of 4 families with kids, our mother / grandmother of the kids could stay in a separate studio room with separate entrance, on the upper floor, but then easily join either floor's breakfast and dinner activity happening every day among our group. The spacious balconies with large enough dining tables and enough chairs make it nice even with larger numbers of kids and adults sitting outdoors at the same time. Views are fantastic from the balcony. There is also a little backyard with barbecue and children's playground. The owners kindly help out with all practical matters. Grgo was very helpful and responsive when inquiring about the villa in advance and when we arrived, he gave us a very friendly welcome and many useful tips for the week. The restaurant Amigos on a nearby beach was a good recommendation and also some of the other restaurants recommended by him turned out to be really nice indeed. Thanks to Grgo's help we also enjoyed a great evening in the old village higher up on the hill watching the sunset and having a great dinner. It was a great week and we can definitely recommend Villa GG. The location is also very good, the nearby beach is only a few minutes walk down and it is also easy and fast to get to Split.
