Dreams Through The Leaves Selca, Dalmatia - Split

Holiday Rental Description

Imagine you're walking through a five-star hotel, a vast, high-end resort of top-class amenities that exude pure luxury. Now, imagine that entire hotel is reserved just for you. This is what it feels like to stay in this villa.

Jutting out from the verdant forest, this sparkling retreat is a utopia of lavish facilities. The assembly of options lets you settle into whatever pace of life you want – from fast-paced and energised to low-key and leisurely.

For the active types, start your day with an intense work-out in the gym before winding down in the sauna or steam room. Grab a kayak in the afternoon to explore the water, or hop on a bicycle to discover the pastoral landscape.

If you like a slower, sleepier vibe, the villa is an idyllic haven. Begin each morning with a coffee by the pool, a dreamy setting to bask in the stunning scenery. Come the afternoon, hire a deluxe boat to roam the water at a gentle pace, enjoying wine from the cellar as you traverse the lake.

In the evening, choose one of the abundant ways to close a magical day. Sample some Istrian truffles on the outdoor dining space, cook up some local meats on the BBQ or curl up with a film in the home cinema.

Home truths:
* The host includes a variety of services in the booking, including a housekeeper, concierge service, villa manager, change of linen twice a week, change of towels twice a week, welcome package and bicycles and kayaks to use
* There is a mooring space if you wish to hire a boat
* The nearest shop is a twenty-one minute walk, so you may wish to stock up in one visit
