Take the Helm really captures the Mediterranean vibe we’re looking for when booking a holiday; the stone walls and tiled terrace add a rustic feel to this otherwise very contemporary home. Located on the island of Hvar, this home is an ideal launchpad to explore the mountainous forests, pebbled beaches, and smooth waters of coastal Croatia. Or perhaps you’re just here to chill out, in which case the private pool and loungers welcome you to spend the day going from quick dips to cat naps in the sun. Take a trip down the the main town to pick up ingredients for a traditional Croatian dinner made on the barbecue and eaten around the long outdoor table — late nights, good company, and beautiful settings are what a holiday is all about, after all.

About Croatia

Byron called Dubrovnik the “Pearl of the Adriatic” and there’s no denying the beauty of Croatia’s most popular city (the location scouts for Game of Thrones certainly thought so). Within the ancient walls of Dubrovnik, sand-hued buildings with orange rooftops jut out into the azure sea. That’s not the only pearl Croatia is hiding.

Host


This home is managed by Oliver

This home is managed directly by a business. A member of their staff will be your point of contact before and during your stay. Nearly twenty years ago, Oliver and his friend began curating the world's most unique and rustic getaways. Driven by their own unforgettable experience at a chateau, they have grown remarkably since then. Much like Plum, they believe in hand-picked luxury that doesn't break the bank.

This home is nominated for the Plum Guide Award.
