What could be better, especially if you're travelling with extended friends and family, than two smart homes in one? This rural retreat is made for fun, with a lovely outside space, outdoor games and a private swimming pool, along with a trampoline and a barbecue – it's all right here. Just a fifteen-minute drive from the coast and the town of Biograd na Moru, it's away from the busier tourist spots but still within easy reach of them.

With two self-contained homes here, you can choose between the main house and the one-bedroom annexe. Comfortable and modern, there's everything you could need without ever leaving but if you feel like adventuring there's plenty to do and lots of places to eat and drink within a short drive.

Home truths:
*You'll definitely need a car for this location and there's private parking
*The garden is fenced with the pool, a trampoline, sandpit and table tennis to keep the whole family entertained
*Two guests will be sleeping on single sofa beds in the main house's living room, while two more can sleep on the double sofa bed in the annexe living room – the bedroom with bunk beds is best suited to children
*There's laptop-friendly workspace if you'll be working remotely
*A cot and high chair for little ones are free on request
*The pool is seasonal – it's open from May until late September
