Azure skies and the gentle sea breeze will draw you outside to the villa’s expansive stone terrace each morning, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the heated swimming pool or unwind on a comfortable sun lounger. If an afternoon swim in the ocean takes your fancy, the secluded shores of Banje Beach are just two kilometres away. Later on, the villa’s covered outdoor lounge provides the ideal spot for a glass of wine at sunset, or everyone can gather together at the outdoor dining area for a delicious barbecue prepared at Villa Pitaya’s traditional Dalmatian grill. Once the stars appear, you can relax in the jacuzzi on the wooden sun deck.

An abundance of natural light flows into the open-plan living space on  Villa Pitaya’s ground floor, where guests will find a stylish lounge area. The living space also features a fully equipped kitchen with a breakfast bar and a charming dining area where everyone can discuss the day’s adventures. The first of the villa’s bedrooms is a bright, airy double room with direct access to the outdoor lounge area on the terrace and a private shower. A separate family bathroom and convenient laundry facilities are also available on the villa’s ground floor.

Three more delightful bedrooms are located on the first floor of Villa Pitaya. A welcoming twin bedroom features modern, enchanting views of the village of Grohote and an en-suite bathroom with a walk-in shower. Both remaining bedrooms offer queen-size beds, well-appointed en-suite bathrooms with showers, and private balconies with outdoor seating. Each bedroom has a flat-screen TV, and the villa is fully air-conditioned throughout.

Region

The enchanting island of Solta, located in the central Dalmatian archipelago, is an ideal destination for those seeking a peaceful retreat, a taste of authentic Croatian culture, and opportunities to explore the stunning landscapes of the Adriatic coast.

Whether you're drawn to the beauty of the island’s breath-taking beaches and tranquil natural bays, the historical allure of its villages, or the simple pleasure of olive oil tasting, this quaint island is perfect for those seeking an authentic Croatian escape. One of Solta's most appealing qualities is its relaxed and unhurried atmosphere. The island is a place to slow down, unwind, and reconnect with nature. The island remains relatively undeveloped, allowing visitors to experience a genuine and unfiltered slice of Croatia.

As you explore Solta, you'll find a range of attractions that showcase the island's natural beauty and historical significance. Among these, the Maslinica Marina stands out. This charming harbour village offers a serene ambiance and beautiful views out to sea. Its picturesque waterfront, lined with stone buildings and fishing boats, is a delightful place to take a leisurely stroll and savour the local seafood in one of the waterfront restaurants.

If you're a beach lover, Solta won't disappoint. The island is blessed with several beautiful beaches, each with its own unique character. Rogac Beach, near the main ferry port, is a convenient choice for travellers arriving by boat. Its crystal-clear waters and lush green surroundings make it a perfect spot for a swim or a lazy day in the sun. In contrast, Sesula Beach offers a more secluded experience, accessible by boat or via a scenic walk through pine forests.

Adventure seekers can also partake in various water sports and activities on Solta. The clear waters of the Adriatic are perfect for snorkelling, diving, and sailing. Kayaking and paddle-boarding are popular ways to explore the island’s coast and secluded coves. For those who wish to experience the thrill of the open sea, fishing excursions are available.

Solta is also home to numerous hiking and biking trails that wind through lush olive groves, fragrant lavender fields, and pine-scented forests. These trails are perfect for exploration, providing opportunities to connect with the island's unspoiled natural beauty.

Solta's largest settlement is the intriguing village of Grohote. Known for its well-preserved architecture, this quaint village has narrow streets and stone houses that give you a glimpse into traditional Dalmatian life. The church of St. Stephen is a notable  landmark in Grohote, showcasing centuries of history and artistic influences.

The island of Solta is best explored at a leisurely pace, whether you're taking a scenic drive along its winding roads, hiking through its lush landscapes, or simply relaxing on one of its serene beaches, it offers a truly authentic experience for those seeking to immerse themselves in the rich culture and natural beauty of Croatia's Dalmatian coast.

Reviews

  • Perfect setting!

    on 27/05/2024

    A perfect setting for a great family holiday! The Villa was immaculate and the host was fantastic. The towns nearby are stunning, a short bus or taxi ride away. Local shops / bars within a short walking distance. They even sourced a baby gate to stop my 1 year old playing on the stairs! From a parents point of view i must say the tiles around the pool are perfect, non slip and do not heat up at all. The only item missing was oven gloves, but the host has taken that feedback and actioned!

  • Amazing!

    on 26/08/2023

    In my opinion, if you are considering staying here, do it. Villa Pitaya is amazing! Solta is a charming, traditional, and unspoilt island with a number of picturesque villages and harbours. Grohote, a short pleasant walk from the villa, has a few shops to buy food and drink. With a view over the roofs and church of Grohote to one side and the sea across to Split on the other, Villa Pitaya is an amazing luxury retreat. Everything was perfect, incredible decor, great spaces inside and out, a pool and hot tub, great wifi, everything you could wish for. Every room was spotlessly clean, beds were comfy, a well-appointed kitchen had everything you might need. It really did feel like luxury at every level. The hosts were great, amazing communication throughout, and even organised our transfers to and from the island. We definitely recommend it and intend to come back as Croatia, Solta and especially the Villa Pitaya were all perfect.

  • Perfect!
