We found this accommodation totally by chance, and are so happy we did. Not only did the place looks great, but our hosts, Tomo and Zeljka (and their dog Duje) were more than perfect hosts. We were accommodated in the Garden apartment, which is situated (as the name says) in the garden, separated from the other apartments. It was a great choice for us as we were there with our two-year-old: there weren't any stairs, so we could leave him free to run around the yard without being afraid something would happen. the garden was really beautiful, very tastefully arranged with stone table, barbecue, small fountain, lemon and orange trees, and aromatic lavander that gave a special touch to this peaceful place. There is also a jacuzzi "separé", where you can hide yourself from other people and relax.
Tomo and Zeljka were there for us any time we needed, and they offered us their help in everything they thought we might need, including preparing sea food and the barbecue.

My husband and I stayed at Villa Kamenica for a week and loved every minute of it! We were in the garden apartment which came with its own private patio, stone oven and beautiful views of the amazing gardens. Tomislav, Zeljka, Duje (their cute puppy) made us feel welcomed, showed us all the best beaches, and gave us great wine! Tomislav showed us the fish market and cooked an superb dinner every evening. By the end of the week we felt like family and were very sad to leave our paradise.

Villa Kamenica and Komiza are true gems! It was the BEST place we have ever stayed!

A set of fabulous self-catering apartments owned and run by Tomislav (Tomo) and Zeljka Radic in the heart of Komiza on Vis. The apartments are all of a high standard and have outdoor space, whether it is a balcony or part of the garden. The garden is beautifully kept, giving a scent of lavender and citrus fruits each evening.

Three minutes' walk from a lovely beach, Villa Kamenica is about five minutes' walk to the centre of Komiza and a stone's throw from a couple of great restaurants. Tomo and Zeljka will give you the warmest welcome and offer fantastic advice for eating out, exploring the island, walks, beaches to visit, Croatian culture and history. Everything in Komiza is accessible from here.

Just got back from a few days on Vis Island, it's very beautiful but I found the locals quite unfriendly and, at times, hostile towards tourists.

No idea why this is, as I spent time in both Split and Hvar and didn't encounter the same attitudes.

In particular- avoid Bar Lembik by the harbour in Kut, the waiter there told me they had sold out of local beer and served me a Heineken instead -more expensive than local beer. Moments later he brought out local beers for his friends, when I questioned him about this he replied 'domestic beers are for domestic customers only'!

Also the staff at Ionios Travel agency were rude and unhelpful when I took the bike back that I'd hired for a day - after the brakes failed! After much argument they reluctantly agreed to give me 1/2 the money back.

The staff at Navigator travel agency were very helpful though and helped to arrange accommodation and boat trips.

Vis Island is a real jewel, one of the last unspoiled islands in the Adriatic. The seas are azure, the beaches pristine and secluded, the local cuisine is delicious and the whole island relaxes and enchants you from the minute you arrive. We rented a three bedroom stone house just seconds from the pretty crescent riviera in the centre of Vis Town, and had a wonderful week exploring the island. The townhouse was a charming, well-run little place in a perfect location - and it was also startlingly good value (£500/week for six people). Recommended!

The blue cave on the small island of Bisevo, not far from Vis. At midday, sunlight enters the cave through a submarine opening and makes the water glow the most beautiful shade of blue.

A much better choice on the island of Vis than the (slightly) larger Vis Town. Pleasant beach and good restaurants. Very reasonable apartments too - ask for the poet Pepe in the travel agencies (everyone knows him!)- he will put you up very comfortably!

If you get the ferry into Vis from Split, rather than stay there, take the bus that meets the ferry to Komiza. It is worth it if you want a more laid back village and a better beach.

Great spot by the harbourside. Don't heed the advice of the guide book and avoid all the harbourside restaurants, as they are not all tourist traps! This place was brilliant and much better than the "recommended" places further away (where the cats had to finish our meals!) Order any grilled fish or the local special fish pot - which is a delight to look at, let alone consume. Arrive with empty bellies and go home very happy!

Komiza on the harbour front where the ferries drop you off.

We were staying in Vis town on Vis island, and stumbled upon a festival in the neighbouring town of Komiza. The fishermen cook fish on the pier and there is glitzy music, dancing girls, fireworks, and a fish-weighing contest. The party goes on till well past dawn, and regular shuttle buses run to and from Vis town. Lots of fun.
