Welcome to
Stay in an Authentic Stone Village in the Heart of Vis
Experience the real island life in Podselje — a peaceful heritage village surrounded by stone walls, olive trees and Mediterranean nature. Located in the heart of the island, only about 6 km from Vis town and 14 km from Komiža, it is the perfect base for exploring beaches, hidden bays, Biševo and the famous Blue Cave (Modra špilja / Blaue Grotte).
Apartman & Kuća · Podselje, Island of Vis
Not Just a Place to Sleep — A Way to Experience Vis
Our apartman — a traditional heritage house (kuća) — is located in Podselje, a quiet village in the middle of the island of Vis. Here, mornings begin with birds, stone houses, olive trees and the scent of Mediterranean plants. Evenings are calm, private and far away from the noise of crowded tourist areas.
You are close enough to reach Vis town, restaurants and beaches within minutes — but far enough to feel the island as it once was. This stone house is available for rent year-round, whether you're planning a summer escape or a quiet off-season stay.

In the Heart of the Island — Close to Vis, Komiža and the Blue Cave
Podselje gives you the best of both worlds: the silence and authenticity of an old island village, plus easy access to the most beautiful parts of Vis. For guests drawn to robinzonski turizam — getting away from it all in a genuine kamena kuća (stone house) — this quiet corner of Vis tourism is hard to match.
Close to Vis town
Only about 6 km from Vis town, restaurants, ferry port and the island's historic waterfront.
Easy access to Komiža
Around 14 km from Komiža, the picturesque fishing town and starting point for many boat trips.
Gateway to Biševo and the Blue Cave
Perfect base for visiting Biševo island and the famous Blue Cave (Modra špilja / Blaue Grotte) from Komiža.
Peaceful village retreat
Return after every island adventure to the silence, privacy and authentic atmosphere of Podselje.
After a day of swimming at Srebrna or Rukavac, exploring beaches, visiting Komiža or taking a boat trip to Biševo, you return to the peace of Podselje — away from the crowds, in a quiet stone village surrounded by nature.
