Croatia Villas

When considering a villa holiday in Croatia, no doubt the spectacular Dalmatian coastline and its many little islands immediately come to mind. Picture-perfect villages, ancient cities and towns steeped in history, beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters, unspoilt bays and breathtaking natural landscapes, all form part of these Croatian islands’ considerable appeal.

No huge surprise then that Croatia has always been a much loved destination for visitors from all over Europe, including a growing number of British guests in recent years.

Easily accessible by multiple weekly flights from the UK to the city of Split, but leaving the bustling metropolis behind, a short ferry trip (or an even faster catamaran journey) takes you to the harbour town of Supetar on Brač, the island we fell in love with on our first visit. Once landed on its shores, a quieter pace of life awaits you. Here is your chance to truly get away from it all and what better way to unwind than in the comfort of your private villa, which makes the ideal base from where to explore all that this captivating island has to offer.

 

Croatia Travel Guides

In Brač we found a stunningly beautiful island, full of verdant valleys, green pine forests bordering secluded coves with treetops reflecting in the sea and turning it an emerald shade, while white pebble and shingle beaches add dashes of bright turquoise to the water’s edges.

Pretty churches with tall clock towers and rustic village houses perched on the hillside, mountain goats grazing between the rocks and women herding their geese along the village road, all add to Bračs rural charm. A place somewhere between the past and the present that still offers an authentic and traditional Croatian island experience.

Astonishing therefore, to find yourself only a short ferry ride from the cosmopolitan city of Split, the second largest metropolis in Croatia after the capital Zagreb. Situated in the heart of Dalmatia and surrounded by the Mosor, Kozjak and Perun mountain ranges, Split is a beautiful, bustling place of huge historic importance, often described as an open-air museum and well worth exploring while staying in a villa on Brač.

Diocletian’s Palace, which was declared a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1979, and the vibrant Riva waterfront promenade are no doubt the heart of the city, where culture-loving visitors can expect a journey back in time. Mighty columns, magnificent squares and exquisite buildings tell of Split’s famous Roman era, and within these historic surroundings, those in search of other cultural offerings can enjoy concerts and various performances at the many festivals and events the city puts on during the summer months.

Private Villas in Croatia

A Very Special Holiday on the Island of Brač

Here at Freelance Villas, we are always looking to introduce new destinations and places with a difference that we can get really excited about. We were therefore absolutely thrilled when we discovered the delightful island of Brač (pronounced ‘Bratch’), one of Croatia’s best-kept secrets amongst its 1224 islands, coastal rocks and reefs. At the size of the Isle of Wight, it is the largest of the Dalmatian islands and the ‘Vidova gora’ mountain in the centre of it (at 778m) the tallest peak of all Adriatic islands.

Known for its numerous picturesque little harbour towns and quiet charming seaside villages along its coast, it also boast the famous ‘Zlatni Rat’ (The Golden Horn), which was voted one of the most beautiful beaches in the Mediterranean and is situated next to the more vibrant little harbour town of Bol on the South coast

Croatia has rocketed to one of the top spots for Mediterranean villa holidays in recent years. Situated on the Adriatic Sea, at the crossroads of Central and Southeast Europe, it is bursting with a varied history, blessed with stunning scenery and a people that extend warm hospitality to all who visit. Delicious cuisine and incredible wines are produced across the country and not to be missed, in particular on the islands where one can find an abundance of local specialities.

Villa Karissa sits on a quiet back lane just below the tiny hamlet of Agios Pavlos, a mere 900m from the small village of Gavalohori with its choice of traditional tavernas & minimarkets.

This villa is highly recommended if you want a premium experience. A beautiful place, private location with incredible views. A car is an absolute necessity as the location is pretty remote. But the drive is so worth it. The whole place enables you to feel relaxed in a place that shouts 5 STAR! We have been lucky enough to stay in some beautiful places across Spain, France, Portugal and other parts of Europe, and we can say this Villa is right up there with the very best. We will definitely return in the near future, it really was that good! Communication from the management company was excellent before, during and after our visit. A very nice welcome pack was very much appreciated on arrival, (which is all to scarce these days). Be mindful that WiFi is not fantastic, so don’t expect to be able to stream movies or download films. But that is a very minor issue when on holiday in this truly beautiful place. The easiest 5 stars we’ve ever given.

To describe the house as amazing doesn´t feel enough. Such a wonderful view, the pool is great, no close neighbors and the house is nicely renovated. 5 minutes to the sea with car and walking distance to good local restaurants and a mini market. Clean and nice inside. We are a family with two kids and it was plenty of space. Great host, easy to commuicate with and really service minded.

Die Unterkunft haben wir in einem sehr guten und sehr sauberen Zustand vorgefunden. Sie ist klasse aufgeteilt und estens ausgestattet und punktet zusätzlich durch den hervorragenden Außenbereich mit tollem Ausblick über die Bucht. Tavernen und Einkaufsmöglichkeiten sind fußläufig zu erreichen, ein Auto empfiehlt sich jedoch trotzdem. Wir können die Unterkunft ohne Abstriche weiterempfehlen!!!

The location & views are breathtaking. The Villa is clean and there is lots of room both inside and out. We didn’t meet the owner or the agent, but everything ran smoothly and communication was easy and responses were quick. The nearby beaches are spectacular and anyone who enjoys sea swimming is in for a treat. Highly recommended.

We had a lovely time in the villa! Check-in was straightforward, the villa was very clean and we loved the view from the outdoor seating and pool area. The location was great; in close proximity to the village of Spartia, and yet still quiet and private. We also tried one of the local tavernas which we found in the Freelance Villas handbook, which was great, too!

I was simply amazed by Diane, Sylvia and the team in Crete They saved our holiday not once, but twice. Unannounced construction works started right next to the villa we booked, which they quickly resolved by moving us to another villa, all very smoothly. And then we couldn’t blame anyone but ourselves for forgetting to take two things from the house (one of which our passports, which we discovered on the morning of departure!) and without any judgment and with total patience and understanding, they arranged that we could pick those up twice (in case of the passports, at 7.00 in the morning!). In general, they were very responsive whatever the question, whether important or trivial. Information before arrival is perfect; they ensure you have all the info about the accommodation and surroundings you need in a comprehensive guide/app. How they manage their service is just so smart and they are a very service-minded team of people themselves, and I’m entirely grateful to them - and will always book via Freelance Villas on any next trip to Crete!

Such a stunning position with breathtaking views all around! Beautiful spot for relaxing and enjoying the outdoor space. We were there in the heat of August so it was too hot to walk to the closest village for tavernas and mini mart, but in cooler temperatures that would be possible.A car is needed to get around but there are countless beautiful beaches and spots to visit within short distances.The communication and attention to any issues arising was faultless.Thank you for a wonderful place to stay and enjoy Kefalonia.

Fantastic villa in a beautiful little village ☺ The villa was absolutely perfect. We were a group of friends and all had large equal rooms. The villa was incredibly clean and the hosts came to speak to us and gave fantastic recommendations. We had a mid week clean when more complimentary cake was left. Would highly recommend this to anyone. As it says in the description, the road is incredibly narrow and a car bigger than a Clio wouldn't fit. We parked at the bottom of the road by the shops and walked up which wasn't a problem. The village and surrounding area is absolutely stunning!
