Take the road less travelled when you stay in the quiet seclusion of Villa Clasa, nestled in nature on the north coast of the Croatian island of Hvar, in the azure waters of the Adriatic Sea. Villa Clasa is in the picturesque village of Vrboska, overlooking the dramatic Dalmatian coast and boasting private access to a nearby beach. This incredible architect-designed villa has four spacious ensuite double bedrooms and can comfortably accommodate up to eight guests in some style.

A  holiday at Villa Clasa would be ideal for a large family gathering or a  friends’ get-together. This one-storey, seriously impressive, six hundred square metre villa is constructed almost entirely of floor-to-ceiling glass, with metal strut surrounds and a flat white roof. The villa is flooded with natural light, and the picture windows reward the guests with uninterrupted views of the natural landscape. The property has private parking, complimentary air conditioning, and Starlink Wi-Fi. The interiors are uber stylish, furnished with contemporary designer pieces, modern art and artefacts, funky lighting, and decorated in a sophisticated colour palette of crisp, clean, sharp  whites, with contrasting muted shades of grey and soft blues.

Walk through the woods, and enter Villa Clasa, where you will be welcomed into a vast, light, airy, open-plan living space with doors that open onto nature-view furnished terraces. The seating area has an L-shaped, pale blue, squishy sofa with an end piece chaise longue, wrought wood and upholstered armchairs, cushion seating, coffee tables, an enormous flat-screen satellite television, and a suspended wood burning fireplace, fabulous for those cooler months and evenings. There is a fourteen-seater dining table with upholstered iron grey and mustard seats, and bench seating, which would make for some splendid indoor entertaining. The sleek gunmetal grey and stainless steel kitchen is fully equipped with state-of-the-art built-in appliances, including a family-size, American-style fridge freezer, a must-have wine fridge, and a preparation island with bar stools to enjoy breakfast. A guest cloakroom completes the living space.

Leading off from the living space are four superbly appointed double bedrooms. Each bedroom has a king-size bed, open wardrobes, exquisite ensuite bathrooms with walk-in showers, and sliding doors that open onto terraces, furnished with colonial-style, rattan seating sets and expansive views of nature. Take the well-worn path down to the villa’s private beach, where you can sunbathe and swim in the warm waters of the Adriatic Sea. At sunset, dine alfresco with local delicacies freshly grilled on the barbecue, and as the stars come out to shine, raise a glass or two to the most unique and memorable holiday.
