Nestled in the hillside behind the village of Sumartin on the island of Brac sits Villa Podelina. This four-bedroom villa, set over two floors, can comfortably sleep up to ten guests. The living areas on the first floor allow guests easy access to the private swimming pool and make the most of the stunning countryside views.

Guests enter the home from the first floor, walking past the infinity pool and towards the main house. The vaulted ceilings of the open-plan space make the room feel bright and spacious. To the side you will find the living area. The large sliding doors allow guests to enjoy indoor-outdoor living and maximise the views from the terrace.

The other side of the open-plan space is home to the dining area and kitchen. Seating six guests at the dining table plus a further four at the breakfast bar, there is space for everyone to dine in style. The kitchen is fully equipped with all you need to cook a feast for your loved  ones.

Off the living area, you will find the first of the four bedrooms. Benefitting from sliding doors out to the terrace and its own en-suite bathroom, this bedroom boasts a queen-size bed. The remaining bedrooms are on the ground floor, and all enjoy sliding doors onto the terrace. Two of the bedrooms are home to further queen-size beds and offer modern en-suite bathrooms. The final bedroom has two bunk beds and has use of a good-sized family shower room on this floor. This bedroom can sleep up to four guests and would suit any younger children in the group.

Outside, you will find the private infinity pool and a spacious  upper terrace. Sun loungers line the pool, allowing adults to relax  while the kids splash around in the pool. The terrace extends towards the house, where you will find an outdoor dining area covered with a pergola, providing much-needed relief from the heat of the sun. Just in front of Villa Podelina is a gorgeous olive grove and small vegetable patch, where guests can pick their homegrown vegetables when in season, including tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, and more.

What Oliver loves...

  • The vegetable patch is a lovely way to enjoy fresh local produce right on your doorstep.
  • Surrounded by olive groves and with countryside views but within easy reach of nearby Sumartin, Villa Podelina is the best of both worlds.
  • The pool has spa jets and coloured lights, so there's some fun to be had.

What you should know

  • Pool heating is available upon request during May, September and October.
  • The bunk bed room is better suited to children.
  • Many of the bays and coves near Sumartin are pebble beaches so you may need to travel a little further for sandy shores.
  • Good location for walking or hiking and bike trails in the area.
  • The villa is set on a gentle slope.
