Villa Nasuta | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Klis

Twelve guests arrive at Villa Nasuta in Klis, a hilltop settlement 20km north of Split, and immediately understand why the Dalmatian coast commands such fierce loyalty. The views sweep across the Klis village rooftops toward the Adriatic—not incidental backdrop, but the kind of panorama that justifies the drive from Split airport. This is a luxury villa rental in Klis that works because it refuses to choose between isolation and access: you are genuinely removed from crowds, yet Diocletian’s Palace and the Riva waterfront are a 20-minute drive away. The property sits within 2km of local markets and family-run restaurants, meaning you can eat like a local without leaving your shoes on.

Inside Villa Nasuta

Villa Nasuta sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, divided into three separate units that function as both a unified retreat and independent spaces—a design that works brilliantly for multi-generational groups or two families traveling together. Unit One anchors the property with the main living architecture. Ground floor opens into a fully equipped kitchen flowing directly into a dining area with seated views toward the coast. The sitting room connects seamlessly, fitted with Smart TV and PlayStation 3 for rainy afternoons. The wellness area houses a sauna and dedicated gym with fitness equipment, accessible by a direct corridor to the outdoor pool. A laundry room and guest WC complete the ground level. Upstairs, three bedrooms branch off a landing. Bedroom 1 commands the best position with a king-size bed (180x200cm), an en-suite bathroom with shower, and a private terrace—the room where you wake to roosters calling across the Klis valley. Bedroom 2 contains a queen-size bed (160x200cm) with ample natural light, while Bedroom 3 mirrors its dimensions but adds a television and a second terrace, ideal for late-night conversations without waking the main suite.

Unit Two operates as a self-contained retreat on its ground floor: a fully equipped kitchen merges with a dining and living area featuring a sofa bed, suitable for additional guests or lounging between meals. A family bathroom with shower serves the unit. Bedroom 4, a double (160x200cm), provides the primary sleeping space—comfortable and quiet, set away from the main activity zones. Unit Three follows an identical layout: independent kitchen-dining-living space with sofa bed, family bathroom with shower, and Bedroom 5 (double, 160x200cm). This three-unit configuration means parents can retire to one accommodation while adult children occupy another, or you can open all units for a full 12-person occupation with breathing room between bedrooms. Every kitchen is fully equipped—dishwashers, full-size refrigerators, gas hobs, ovens—so meal preparation is never a compromise. Ping-pong table, games console, Wi-Fi, air conditioning in all spaces, heating for cooler months, and strategically placed safes round out the indoor facilities.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The 6-meter by 4-meter heated swimming pool dominates the external landscape, surrounded by 10 sunbeds arranged to capture different angles of sun and shade throughout the day. The pool temperature remains comfortable from May through October, with heating extending the season into shoulder months. A summer kitchen sits adjacent—the kind of outdoor cooking station that transforms group meals from logistics into ceremony. The covered dining area sprawls nearby, designed to shelter long lunches and evening gatherings under the Dalmatian stars, with enough table space for all 12 guests to eat together if desired. A rooftop hot tub and seating area rises above, a secondary sunset vantage point that many guests never discover until the third evening. The property’s eastern and western exposures mean you catch both dawn light over the inland mountains and dusk colours reflecting off the Adriatic. A fenced communal playground sits opposite the villa—useful for families with younger children who need space to move independently. The rugged landscape surrounding Villa Nasuta—sparse vegetation, white stone, Mediterranean scrub—frames everything with authenticity; this is the real Dalmatian hinterland, not a manicured resort.

Location: Klis and the Surrounding Area

Klis itself is a working village of approximately 800 people, perched on a limestone ridge with views that extend from the Adriatic to the inland peaks. The name carries historical weight—the Klis Fortress, a medieval stronghold 2km uphill, witnessed centuries of Ottoman and Venetian power struggles and more recently served as a filming location for Game of Thrones. The fortress is accessible by car and a short walk, offering both historical context and photographic opportunity. Split, your cultural anchor, lies 20km south by car (approximately 25 minutes via the D1 coastal road). The city’s Diocletian’s Palace, constructed in 305 AD and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site, sprawls across the old town—best explored on foot with a local guide who can navigate the labyrinthine streets and explain the Roman engineering still visible beneath medieval additions. Saint Domnius’ Cathedral, the world’s oldest continuously used cathedral, stands within the palace complex. The Riva waterfront runs parallel to the palace, a 1.5km promenade lined with coffee bars, restaurants, and galleries where Dalmatian social life unfolds from morning espresso through late-night drinks. The Split Gallery of Fine Arts and the Ivan Meštrović Gallery showcase Croatian visual culture; Meštrović’s nearby Kaštelet retreat house displays intimate wood carvings with spiritual intensity.

For beaches within 30km: Bačvice Beach lies 18km south in central Split—urban, with blue flag status, good for swimming and windsurfing. Marjan Forest Park crowns a 500-meter peninsula immediately adjacent to Split city, offering 3km of forested trails with sea overlooks and botanical areas, popular for hiking and sunset watching. Omiš, 25km south along the coast, transforms into an adventure hub: the Cetina River offers white-water rafting and kayaking, while the town’s compact old quarter hosts pirate-themed museums and waterfront dining. Jesenice, 35km east inland, specializes in traditional wooden boat construction—small family workshops still operating as they have for generations. The Dalmatian Wine Route winds through inland vineyards producing indigenous grapes like Plavac Mali and Vugava; several wineries near Klis offer tastings and cellar tours. The Split airport (Aerodrom Split) sits 24km southwest (approximately 25-30 minutes by car), making international arrival straightforward.

Our luxury villas in Europe showcase how Croatian properties compare to Mediterranean peers in Italy and Greece.

Seasonal timing matters: May to September offers warm, dry weather with reliable sun, though July and August bring peak crowds and heat (daytime temperatures 28-32°C). April and October provide gentler conditions (18-22°C), fewer tourists, and still-swimmable water. December through February dip below 10°C with occasional rain, but winter visitors appreciate empty beaches and authentic local life. Game of Thrones tourism peaks in summer months; spring and autumn offer the same locations without queuing.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families—three generations spanning grandparents, adult children with partners, and grandchildren—thrive here because the three independent units allow privacy while maintaining shared gathering spaces. The heated pool and outdoor kitchen encourage collective meals, but bedtime brings relief from constant togetherness. Multi-group gatherings work equally well: two families with young children (the playground and pool provide containment and entertainment), groups of friends celebrating a milestone, or professional groups needing a collaborative retreat with sleeping accommodation. The gym and sauna appeal to fitness-conscious guests; the PlayStation and ping-pong attract younger visitors without forcing them into nightlife patterns. Couples seeking a quiet base with occasional group activities will find Bedroom 1 with its private terrace sufficient, with Units Two and Three available for visiting family or friends. The property suits guests who cook—the three fully equipped kitchens eliminate reliance on restaurant reservations—and those comfortable with mild self-catering. It does not suit guests wanting daily housekeeping or concierge services; this is an independent-living model.
