Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SpoletoStaying on one of Croatia’s idyllic islands is a bucket list ticket for any traveller, and Ugljan is definitely a good choice! Located a short 25-minute boat journey across the Zadar Channel, you are just a stone throw from all the sites and natural wonders of the mainland, yet as you settle into island life, the hectic tourist cities feel a million miles away. Ugljan is a green, mountainous island carpeted with olive groves and dotted with small fishing ports. Villa Spoleto sits on the waterfront, near to the fishing town of Sutomišćica, just a short drive from the island’s biggest town of Ugljan. While Sutomišćica is quiet and tranquil, perfect for relaxing family holidays, enjoying peace and privacy with your loved ones, Ugljan is slightly busier.
Ugljan is the oldest settlement on the island and contains remnants of the late Roman to early Christian era for you to explore, as well as the best of the islands’ restaurants for you to try!
The fast-flowing Zadar Channel means this tranquil island has some of the cleanest seawater in Croatia, mix this with the beautiful sandy shores and luscious greenery, this location becomes an outdoor lovers dream. The eastern side of the island is busier with visitors and locals, while the western side sits mostly uninhabited, with steep, rugged cliffs dropping down into the sea.
The island has become particularly popular for Zadar residents, who come to enjoy the beaches, bike paths and hiking trails. If you enjoy outdoor adventures, then this is definitely the spot for you, with something for all abilities. You can easily rent a bike from Preko, less than a 10-minute drive from the villa. From here a coastal path runs from Preko to Kukljica, so you can cycle along, taking in the best of the views and stopping here and there to enjoy cold ice creams or refreshing drinks! Bike paths also run from Ugljan to the more remote western side of the island. You can pick up a map of the islands hiking trails from one of the tourist offices, heading out to explore on foot!

Each one offers distinct experiences, ranging from national parks to secluded coves, allowing you to embark on your own unique voyage of discovery.

Loved everything here...
Such an amazing place! Highly recommended to everyone. Easy to get to with your own private beach. House is absolutely beautiful with everything you need and more. We will try and stay longer here next time. One week is simply not enough. Loved everything here... from booking and communication processes with Klaudija, to a warm welcome by Lucija.

Wonderful
Both the host Klaudija and the villa owner Lucija were incredibly friendly and helpful throughout! They answered messages quickly and went out of their way to ensure we had a comfortable stay - including stocking the kitchen with groceries, making restaurant reservations and offering to book activities! They were just wonderful!
The villa itself is modern, clean and well organized - just like the photos! We had a very comfortable stay.
The location looking over the marina, with a private jetty for dips in the ocean, meant it had one of the best views on the island.
The island is remote and rustic with limited restaurants and only a few grocery stores. No designer shops, but a perfect retreat for rest and relaxation!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
