With its boxy white walls and invitingly blue swimming pool, this villa looks like it's come straight out of a David Hockney painting. However, this isn't Los Angeles — it's the Croatian coastline. Inside, the home has a fresh and contemporary feel, thanks to the large glass doors, bright walls and wooden floors. What's fairly unique about the address is that it's two separate apartments across two floors, each with a kitchen, living room and a pair of bedrooms. For two families travelling together, it's an elegant solution to the desire for privacy at certain moments. However, there are shared amenities in the garden for when you all want to gather together again. As well as the aforementioned pool, there are two shaded terraces, as well as a barbecue for grilling up some meaty dishes for which the country is famous. When you want to explore beyond the address, there's a wealth of attractions nearby. Plaža Punta Bibinje is a five-minute walk when you want a day at the seaside and there are plenty more sandy spots along the coastline, too. Although the local town of Bibinje has a decent selection of restaurants and bars, there's a wider choice — plus an Old Town — in the city of Zadar, only twenty minutes away by car.
