This classic stone villa is a dreamy spot for a Croatian vacation. Bring a platter of fresh fruit outside for breakfast before changing straight into your bathing suit for sun-drenched afternoons by the pool. After a refreshing dip, challenge a friend to a game of ping pong – and maybe a rematch depending on the outcome. You could spend practically the whole day out here on the terrace, throwing dinner on the barbecue as the sun goes down, but inside the home, you’ll find a charming space equally deserving of your attention. Rustic stone walls, exposed wooden beams and decorative barrels lend the home authentic character and a cosy feel. We love the charming checkered bedspreads in each of the bedrooms and the green shutters and doors that tie the rooms together. Location-wise, you’ll be just a ten-minute drive from the stunning Vrana Lake, the largest natural lake in Croatia. The surrounding Vrana Lake Nature Park has plenty of walking trails, bike paths, sport fishing and an impressive ornithological reserve. Make your way to the lookout point and enjoy a view of the coast and surrounding islands. Plus, the gorgeous Pine Beach is just a ten-minute drive away.
