Cottages in Rukavac

Beautiful location with a view over the Harbor.

Our multi-generational family — my husband and me, our two sons (early 20s), and my parents (late 70s) — had a wonderful two-night stay at Villa Riva in early May. We were greeted with such warm hospitality. Key pickup at the tourist office was convenient, and we were pleasantly surprised that a van had been arranged to take us to the villa. While the walk from the port is manageable and scenic along the promenade, this thoughtful gesture was appreciated given my mother’s mobility concerns, and it saved us from having to find a taxi for six people and luggage. The villa is a beautifully renovated stone house on the riva, just steps from the water. The highlight was the top-floor living area and balcony, where we spent mornings enjoying coffee and watching boats come and go. The panoramic view was spectacular! The layout worked well for us. Each of the first three floors had its own bedroom and bathroom. Since the staircase could be challenging, the first floor, which included a seating area and fridge, was ideal for my parents. The other two bedrooms were huge. We stayed on the second floor, which also had a balcony, and our sons shared the third-floor. Rooms could be configured with either king or twin beds so that was especially appreciated. The villa was very clean, with comfortable beds, an additional sofa bed, a well-equipped kitchen, a washer and dryer (with detergent), and many other thoughtful amenities. We liked the detailed guest guide, too. The staff was responsive and remained helpful throughout our visit, including recommending a speedboat excursion that picked us up right on the water in front of the villa. We were sad to leave. With an incredible view in a prime waterfront setting, outstanding hospitality, a well-designed layout, and thoughtful touches throughout, Villa Riva stands out as one of our favorite stays in many years of travel. We hope to return again soon!

This gem of a property is nestled just above the main port of Vis, overlooking the harbor, the yachts, a scenic 16th century monastery, a beautiful lighthouse, and several offshore islands. The views from the villa are spectacular at all times of day. We enjoyed the modern well-stocked kitchen, the onsite laundry, and three floors of beautiful living areas. Walking distance to the center of Vis is less than five minutes.

Amazing house, parking available at the location. Perfect especially if you also want to take the car to Komiza. Many things/items were available in the kitchen and house that were useful for us.

Everything! This was our favorite place we stayed on our month long trip. We wish we could have stayed longer. The host was so incredibly welcoming and kind - they thought of every big and little detail. Very comfy, everything you need, wonderful balcony, and very close to the main area. Perfect!

Everything! It's in a beautiful setting, fantastic wee house, fabulous hosts. Kut is a lovely area of Vis with a lovely laid back atmosphere. Couldn't recommend highly enough
