Only four kilometres away from the Adriatic shore, this countryside villa lets you enjoy the best of both worlds in a green spot on the Dalmatian coast. Fancy a beach day? Just drive seven kilometres to Općina. When it comes to a cultural outing, Zadar awaits ten kilometres from your front door, where tourists flock to the mesmerising Sea Organ and the 9th-century Church of St. Donatus. Designed with rustic wood and stone, this cottage-style home will have you rolling out of bed each morning under sloped ceilings. Wander into the sleek kitchen to serve a Croatian breakfast of polenta and cornbread – we think the open-plan living space is perfect for laidback discussions about your daily itinerary. Outdoors, come and sunbathe beneath blue skies before jumping in the heated pool. There's no lovelier place to play with your little ones after an adventure than on the swing set. At sunset, light the fire in the outdoor tavern and clink your glasses of local wine together.
