With its rustic interiors, perfumed garden and charming terrace, this stone villa has all the trappings of a countryside bolthole. But step outside your front door and you’ll find yourself in the heart of Split, a short walk from Diocletian's Palace and the Marjan Hill steps. Spend afternoons sightseeing or whiling away the hours on Kasjuni Beach until it’s time for a bite to eat at an authentic Dalmatian restaurant.

After a stroll around the charming cobbled streets, head back to your pad for an alfresco movie night, surrounded by the sweet scent of jasmine and rose. Fire up the barbecue before heading inside to the cosy living space to finish your glass of wine on the plump sofa. As the night draws in, treat yourself to a restorative dip in the cave pool then watch the stars appear in the inky sky from your private balcony.
