Villa Zorka – Peaceful Retreat in the Vineyards of Staševica, in Southern Croatia, just minutes away from the country's most spectacular beaches Nestled among the Adriatic vineyards of Staševica, Villa Zorka is more than just a holiday home – it’s a place built with love, patience, and family heritage. Once an empty shell, our grandparents, Senka and Ante Rončević, restored it entirely by hand, transforming it into the warm and welcoming villa you see today. Named after Ante’s mother, Zorka, the house carries her spirit of strength and hospitality in every corner. Relax & Reconnect with Nature: Mornings here begin with coffee under the nespula tree, accompanied by birdsong and the soft rustle of leaves. Spend your days swimming in the private pool, practicing yoga in the garden, or simply soaking up the Dalmatian sun. Around you, the soundtrack of rural life – roosters, crickets, and the gentle hum of the countryside – sets the pace for a slower, more peaceful stay. Unique Experiences at the Villa: Seasonal harvest: Pick fresh figs, grapes, pomegranates, and more straight from our garden. Cultural heritage museum: Explore our private collection of artifacts, tools, and furniture – officially certified by the Croatian Ministry of Culture. Wine & rakija tasting: Sample homemade wines and spirits made right here at Villa Zorka and by local producers. Dalmatian dining: Breakfast buffet included in the price, featuring local produce. Upon request, enjoy home-cooked meals by your hosts, former restaurateurs, featuring traditional dishes made from local ingredients. Whether you’re here to unwind by the pool, discover local traditions, or explore the natural beauty of southern Dalmatia, Villa Zorka offers an authentic and memorable escape.

Villa Zorka is the perfect base for exploring the Makarska Riviera’s beaches, the Baćina Lakes, the Biokovo Skywalk, the Neretva Delta, and the Peljesac Peninsula. It is located in the heart of South Dalmatia's wine country, surrounded by vineyards, hills, and mountains. You will be surrounded by very friendly neighbors, most of whom are local natives, wine makers, and farmers. They will insist you taste their local wines and homemade grappa. Before opening Villa Zorka, hosts Ante and Senka ran a well-known restaurant in the region for over 30 years. They are both professional chefs and hospitality managers, so if you'd like to experience the delights of local cousine, please let them know and they will be glad to accommodate you with ordered meals and more.
