Croatia is very much designed for outdoor living and why wouldn’t it be when the weather is so sublime for much of the year. You’ll likely want to spend a lot of time here, particularly around the private heated pool with a no-chlorine system, hydro-massage, and a counter-current swimming programme. For little ones, there’s a shallower area to the pool. The pool itself is a bit of a piece de resistance and can’t help but draw focus. Flanked by two levels of sundecks, you can lounge about the pool with a drink, book, magazine, or music. Flanked by 11 sundeck chairs, you can also wash off under the outdoor shower and enjoy the summer kitchen which is fully equipped for you to prepare delicious dishes. Here you’ll also find an outdoor area complete with ceiling fan and a traditional barbeque for divine outdoor dining. With a separated toilet, and a lounge corner beside the summer kitchen, this is a great area to group together and enjoy the beautiful surroundings. Any young children joining your party can also make use of the outdoor swing.
Back indoors, you can find the first floor via the indoor staircase and enjoy a second living area that can twin as a media room thanks to its blackout curtains, plush sofas, PlayStation 4 and Smart TV and dining table. This room is sure to be a hit with children, teens and adults who’ve maintained their inner child.
Your property is located in Kaštel Kambelovac, a perfectly peaceful environment no more than a two-minute drive from the local restaurants, supermarkets or Bilajka beach. Alongside this day-dreamy relaxation, you’re placed close to Split, Trogir, Solin and Klis. This allows you great variety and adventure should you choose to leave the tranquillity of your villa.
What you should know…
- You’re in a great position to get around Croatia here, but we would recommend a car. With your own private parking lot, renting a car is simple and will allow you to explore more of this stunning country.
- If moving into quieter areas, a phrasebook and some local currency will get you far. Some smaller cafes may not accept card.

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa IvancicaKaštel Kambelovac is known for its peaceful and easy pace of living. A classic Croatian town here lies a decadent, ancient beauty that will highlight what’s so enchanting about the area away from the lights and glare of the tourist trail. Green and verdant, this truly is a beautiful part of the country peppered with romance and simple charm.
The region is famous for wine, and you’ll have plenty of opportunities to visit vineyards or explore wineries. Vina Perisin is a popular choice as is Bedalov Winery and Winery Vucica. Castle Cambi is well worth a visit for those who enjoy crumbly historical ruins. There are also small churches to explore. Try your luck and open the door – take a moment to sit, relax and perhaps light a candle for a loved one. The world of water awaits, and you can explore the Adriatic by boat – swimming and snorkelling are great here too and you may see some tropical fish.
In terms of local eateries, you really are spoilt for choice. Even the fussiest eater will find something to their taste. Baza Food Bar & Good Vibes offers gorgeously presented European dishes – if you eat with your eyes, you’ll definitely want to stop and take a few photos here. Stacija & Restaurant is wonderful for outdoor dining and classic seafood dishes. Restoran Odmor offers plentiful plates of meat and carbs but there’s no scrimping on taste here. For classic Mediterranean dishes, Baletna Skola is also a wonder and for beauty, Ciri Biri Bela can’t be beat. Prefer a pizza? Pizzeria Sette Sorelle comes highly recommended. If you have vegetarians or vegans in your group, Kat's Kitchen Deli has many fresh, healthy, and amazing dishes to enjoy.
You’re close to Split, the seaside city, which is a sensational place to visit. It’s the largest city on the Adriatic Coast and has been ruled by a serious succession of heavy hitters, including the Romans, Venetians, Austrians, French, Italians, and Yugoslavs. You can feel the impact of each ruler imprinted on the city. It contains many world-famous attractions including the Cathedral of Saint Domnius, Diocletian's Palace, and the Grgur Ninski Statue.
For people watching and a leisurely stroll, the Riva Harbour is a great place to start. The Green Market is a wonderful place to take a look around and of course the abundance of restaurants and wine cellars will leave you feeling rather indecisive. The surrounding area holds much unspoilt natural beauty. From here you can explore wineries and vineyards, beautiful beaches and take a trip to the Blue Cave and the island of Hvar.
For fans of Game of Thrones, much of the show was filmed here, as well as in Dubrovnik, which is about a three-to-four-hour drive and famously known as the walled city. If you’re a fan, visit the museum and also Plitvice Lakes National Park where much of the filming took place. For a quick and traditional snack, we'd recommend Kantun Paulina.
If you want to experience something completely opposite to Split in terms of style and substance, Trogir is a town brimming with a more scaled down slice of history and culture. You can explore the bell tower, ample churches, ancient palaces, dominating fortresses and the quaint waterfront promenade. If you need to cool down, stop by Gelato Bar Bella (a throwback to the Roman invaders) and wander around with an ice cream cone.
Spectacular Solin is not that much further afield and contains must-see ancient ruins including the Salona, a series of rocky arches and the town baths. Klis is definitely worth a visit if you want to explore the formidable fortress with astonishing nature on all sides. For views, Konoba is a great place to stop for a slice of pizza. With so much to do, indulge your adventurous side, as well as your desire for rest and recuperation.

We had an amazing time at this gorgeous villa
It is even more beautiful in real life and everything was clean and in pristine condition! The pool area, jacuzzi and outdoor kitchen were simply amazing and the villa itself was stunning and modern. A real treat to stay here. The location was also great; ten minute walk to the beach and lots of supermarkets within walking distance. Anna and the team were always so helpful and welcoming and did everything they could to make sure our stay was the best it could be. Totally recommend this villa!

I would totally recommend!
The house and the garden with the pool and kitchen outside, were perfect. Unfortunately the air-conditioning was not working. They came and tried to fix it, but it still didn't work and also their was construction site next to the house, they started working pretty loud in the morning. But these are things that can be fixed. On the big side, we felt very good in the Villa. They had everything you could need in a kitchen, also towels for the pools. Lots of parking space in front of the house. The house was clean and beautiful, and it smelled lovely. The garden with the pool and this views, were even better.
