The Honey Harvest Selca, Dalmatia - Split

Property Description

Watch the boats drift by on an impossibly emerald and blue sea from the balconies and terraces of this home. It sits on the south coast of Brač – one of Croatia’s idyllic Dalmatian islands. A leisurely walk or short cycle (the home comes with bikes) sees you in the centre of the small town of Sumartin, with its pretty harbour and church spire jutting against the mountain backdrop. Plus, you’re just 20 metres from the rocky beach, where you can take one of the paddleboards out on the calm bay.

Lazy days can be indulged on the main terrace, plunging into the cool of the swimming pool and drying off on a lounger as you take in the view of the sea and pine-clad hills. There’s a summer-kitchen-style brick barbecue for lunches on the shaded patio and, on the first floor, the balconies look out over the water.

On the outside, it may look like a traditional, Venetian-style home, but inside it's all modernity. There is something Scandinavian about the kitchen, with its light-wood breakfast bar and open feel. The entire living area is one space, so the chef of the group can keep up with the conversation from the TV area. Upstairs, the bedrooms are sunny thanks to glass doors that lead to private balconies.
