Villa Winnie | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Lozisca

The moment you arrive at Villa Winnie on the island of Brac, you understand why this Croatian destination has captivated travellers for centuries. Perched above the village of Bobovišća on a hillside thick with Mediterranean forest, this four-bedroom villa commands views across the Adriatic that shift colour with every hour of daylight. Eight guests can spread across four distinct sleeping spaces, each thoughtfully positioned to capture either sea breezes or the quiet shade of terraced gardens. This is the kind of rental where the view alone justifies the entire holiday.

Inside Villa Winnie

Villa Winnie sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, divided between a main residence and a separate guest annexe. The ground floor opens with a generous living, dining and kitchen zone that functions as the villa’s social heart. The kitchen comes fully equipped with modern appliances—dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine—and flows seamlessly into the dining area where eight can gather comfortably. A guest WC sits discreetly nearby. The primary bedroom, also on this level, features an en-suite bathroom and direct access to the villa’s outdoor terraces, meaning morning light and sea views arrive before you’ve finished your first coffee.

Ascending to the first floor, two additional bedrooms dominate the space. Both feature twin single beds and open onto a shared terrace—the kind of setup where teenagers and adult friends claim their independence while remaining steps from shared living. A family bathroom serves this level, and there’s a dedicated relaxation room, perfectly positioned for afternoon reading or evening conversations that drift into darkness. The light here is exceptional in late afternoon, when westward sun floods the windows.

The guest house, a wholly separate cottage on the property, contains its own full kitchen, a double bedroom, a bathroom, and a terrace. This arrangement suits multi-generational groups or friends who value privacy without isolation. Parents or grandparents can have their own space while grandchildren sleep in the main villa, connected but distinct. The setup has been refined by owners who understand that proximity to family doesn’t mean shared bathrooms at 7am.

Throughout Villa Winnie, air conditioning maintains comfort during peak summer heat, while WiFi ensures that those who must work can do so without sacrificing the view. A television and DVD player occupy the living area for rainy afternoons—rare on Brac, but prepared for nonetheless. A washing machine and dryer handle the practical realities of two-week stays, and a cot is available for families with infants.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The private heated swimming pool is the outdoor focal point, a place where sunset drinks become a daily ritual. Sun loungers and parasols ring the pool deck, creating distinct zones for sunbathing, reading, or simply watching the light change across the water. Beyond the pool area, a shaded dining space provides respite during midday heat—this is where breakfast tastes better than it has any right to, and where evening meals linger past dark. The terraces throughout the property offer multiple perspectives on the same view: the master bedroom’s private terrace catches sunrise, while the first-floor terrace frames the sunset perfectly from its western aspect.

The hillside garden supports Mediterranean vegetation—low-maintenance plants that thrive in this climate and release their oils when warmed by afternoon sun. This isn’t a manicured landscape but rather a curated natural setting that feels like it has always been this way. Parking is available on-site, eliminating the stress of navigating narrow village streets or searching for space in high season.

Location: Bobovišća and the Surrounding Area

Bobovišća is among the smallest and most tranquil settlements on Brac, a working village rather than a tourist enclave. The walk to the waterfront takes under 10 minutes, where a handful of restaurants operate seasonally, serving fresh seafood and local wines to people who’ve lived on this island for generations. A small shop provides basic supplies. The village itself feels removed from the contemporary world—narrow stone pathways, modest houses painted in traditional colours, and an authentic quiet that money alone cannot purchase.

For more substantial supplies, Milna lies 7km away across the island, a picturesque village with a proper marina, several restaurants with terrace seating overlooking the water, and boutique shops catering to visitors. The drive takes 15 minutes along roads that wind through pine forests and past vineyards. Milna has preserved its stone architecture and retains the character of a genuine maritime community rather than adopting the commercialism of larger resorts.

Supetar, positioned 13km to the north, functions as Brac’s principal town and the location of the main ferry terminal connecting the island to Split. Here you’ll find a supermarket, restaurants, a pebbly beach, and the ferry port offering regular connections to Split (about 50 minutes crossing time). The town also has ATMs, a pharmacy, and all services necessary for longer stays. Split itself, the region’s largest city, lies approximately 65km away by road and ferry—home to Diocletian’s Palace, restaurants of international standard, and the regional airport.

Brac’s most famous beach, the Golden Horn (Zlatni Rat), occupies a spit of shingle about 15km from Villa Winnie near the town of Bol. This distinctive crescent shifts shape with the wind and sea conditions, creating a phenomenon that photographers pursue across seasons. The drive takes roughly 25 minutes. For those seeking quieter coastal experiences, numerous coves dot the island’s shoreline—Blaca Cove and Murvica Beach offer swimming in crystalline water with minimal crowds, accessible by footpath or short drive.

Culturally, the island rewards exploration. The village of Donji Humac, 8km south, preserves traditional stone architecture and offers glimpses of how Brac inhabitants lived before tourism arrived. Wine enthusiasts should seek out local vineyards producing Pošip and Vugava whites—distinctive Mediterranean wines that reflect the island’s limestone soil and sea winds. Several wineries offer tastings; the family-run operations provide far more authentic experiences than commercial ventures.

Water-based activities surround Villa Winnie. Kayaking from Bobovišća’s waterfront allows exploration of rocky coves and sea caves inaccessible by land. Diving operators in Milna offer instruction and guided dives to reefs and wrecks. The waters here are exceptionally clear, visibility often exceeding 25 metres. Fishing trips can be arranged through local operators for those interested in angling or simply drifting offshore at dawn. Cycling routes traverse the island—the terrain is challenging with significant hills, but the views compensate for the exertion.

Split Airport (Aerodrom Split), approximately 70km away, is the primary international gateway. Transfer time by car is roughly 90 minutes including ferry crossing. Smaller airports exist on nearby islands, but Split offers the most frequent connections to European cities. Our luxury villas in Croatia offer similar experiences across the Adriatic coast, while for those drawn specifically to this region, our villas in Opcina Milna provide alternative base camps. For broader destination context, our Brac travel guide offers comprehensive planning information. We also maintain a full collection of Croatian properties for guests exploring multiple island locations.

Seasonally, Brac’s Mediterranean climate delivers hot, dry summers and mild winters. May through September offers reliably warm weather, clear skies, and sea temperatures warm enough for comfortable swimming. July and August attract the most visitors and carry the highest temperatures—often exceeding 30°C (86°F). June and September provide ideal conditions for those seeking heat without excessive crowds. Spring months (April-May) bring wildflowers and manageable weather but occasional rain. October remains warm and peaceful, with crystal-clear water and fewer visitors. Winter is mild but quieter, with some restaurants closing seasonally.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Villa Winnie accommodates diverse guest profiles effectively. Extended families—grandparents, parents, children—benefit from the guest house arrangement, allowing private space for older generations while children enjoy proximity to cousins. The heated pool and shallow areas suit families with young swimmers, while the proximity to quiet beaches eliminates the stress of navigating crowded resorts with toddlers in tow.

Friendship groups of four to eight adults find the dual living spaces ideal, with the guest house serving as retreat space or accommodation for those arriving on different schedules. The kitchen facilities support groups that enjoy cooking together, whether preparing simple breakfasts or ambitious dinners. The relaxation room and multiple terraces mean people pursuing different interests—some reading, others swimming, others napping—can coexist without friction.

Couples seeking an extended romantic break appreciate the private pool, heated for comfort even in shoulder seasons, and the unobstructed views from the master bedroom terrace. The guest house provides space for a travelling companion or visiting friend without compromising intimacy. The location’s quietness suits those seeking genuine separation from typical tourist infrastructure.

Professionals requiring a working holiday find the reliable WiFi and quiet environment conducive to focus, with the heated pool and multiple outdoor spaces ensuring breaks from screens remain appealing. The village’s tranquility eliminates the noise and distraction of larger resorts.
