Gaze out over the picturesque Dalmatian island of Brač from this chic and contemporary Croatian escape. Set on a hillside above the tranquil coastal village of Duće, you're just a short walk from the golden sand and shingle beach – a real rarity along Croatia's rocky shores. The home comprises two self-contained apartments, each with a kitchen, two bedrooms and two bathrooms, making it the perfect option for a couple of families looking to get away together while still retaining some privacy. While the one apartment offers an elevated position to make the most of those spectacular panoramas, the lower space affords direct access to the poolside terrace via one of the bedrooms. In addition to sun loungers dotted around the pool, a canvas-topped pergola offers some respite from the midday heat, while the summer kitchen is the perfect spot to serve up group meals morning, noon and night. When you're not relaxing at home or paddling in the crystal-clear calm waters of the Adriatic, why not board a boat over the Brač island and visit the picturesque Zlatni Rat beach or drive the short distance to the medieval old town of Omiš to marvel at its historical sites and absorb its authentic atmosphere.
