The British Sunday Times recently published a list of the 100 most beautiful and desirable villas on the Mediterranean, and included five selected holiday houses from Croatia – Dubrovnik's Poet's House (house of the poet), villas Maruka and Dol on Brač, Captain's house in Viganj on Pelješac, and Stone Villa above Podgora.

The most beautiful villas were found by the Times reporter in France and Spain, 25 in number and another 22 in Italy and 17 in Greece. Among the best offered deals is the villa La Torch in Bretagne, in which four people can spend a week during the peak season for 577 pounds. The most expensive accomodations cost up to ten times more per person, as does for example, the Villa Olous in Crete, where a week for 16 people costs 24,545 pounds.
