Villa Anastasiya | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Marina

Eight guests arrive at Marina, a quiet settlement 12 kilometres south of UNESCO-protected Trogir, and immediately understand why this stretch of the Dalmatian coast attracts return visitors year after year. Villa Anastasiya sits metres from both the Adriatic and the local marina, a contemporary three-storey residence built to capture sea views while remaining embedded in the stone-and-terracotta character of its surroundings. From the moment you walk the pedestrian lanes toward the villa’s entrance, the sound of water—whether from the heated pool or the sea beyond—becomes the soundtrack to your stay.

Inside Villa Anastasiya

Villa Anastasiya sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across three floors designed for both privacy and easy gathering. The basement houses a fully equipped fitness studio and sauna, plus two additional shower rooms and a separate laundry facility—practical spaces that exist almost invisibly beneath the main living areas. Two further shower cubicles and a toilet on the ground floor ensure no queues during morning routines.

The ground floor opens as a single continuous space: a generously proportioned living area with contemporary furnishings and a wall-mounted television anchors one end, while the opposite end contains a fully equipped kitchen and dining table seating eight. This layout means the cook (or visiting chef, available upon request) remains part of conversation rather than isolated. A separate toilet serves guests who have wandered outside.

A glass-panelled staircase ascends to the first floor, where all four bedrooms are located. Two rooms feature king-size beds with en-suite bathrooms featuring freestanding tubs—the kind of bathing experience that transforms a regular evening into something slower and more deliberate. These two rooms command views across the Adriatic toward distant islands. The remaining two bedrooms offer flexibility: twin beds that convert to king-size configurations, each with shower en-suites and private balconies. Three of the four bedrooms face toward the sea; morning light here arrives as a gradual brightening rather than sudden glare.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace surrounding the 40-square-metre heated pool functions as the villa’s true living room during warm months. Underfloor heating embedded in the surrounding paving means evening swims remain comfortable even when air temperatures drop in shoulder seasons. Sun loungers cluster in groups—some shaded by umbrellas, others positioned to catch the southern exposure that dominates the Croatian coast from May through September.

White stone walls, Mediterranean plantings, and locally sourced materials create an outdoor environment that feels rooted in place rather than imposed upon it. A covered dining pavilion provides shelter for meals prepared on the stone grill—which comes equipped with an outdoor sink and hot water supply, allowing even amateur cooks to produce Dalmatian specialities using ingredients from Marina’s weekly markets. A heated outdoor shower means rinsing off salt water becomes a sensory pleasure rather than a utilitarian chore.

Children occupy the playground area, which includes a small trampoline, climbing structure, and toddler-scale vehicles—allowing parents to supervise from the lounge chairs without abandoning relaxation entirely. Comfortable seating scattered across the terrace caters to readers, conversation, and the kind of stillness that holidaymakers travel to experience.

Location: Marina and the Surrounding Area

Marina village itself contains everything required for a self-catering holiday: supermarkets within 400 metres, restaurants and cafés within walking distance, and direct beach access. The shoreline here remains quieter than Trogir proper, yet you stand only 12 kilometres from one of Croatia’s most historically significant towns.

Trogir’s old town, constructed on an island and connected by bridges, contains Renaissance palaces, a cathedral dating to the 13th century, and a harbour from which Venetian galleys once departed. The town appears on virtually every “best of Dalmatia” travel list for valid reasons—its architectural density and preservation remain exceptional. Visit during morning hours to avoid afternoon coach-tour crowds; the cobbled streets reveal their character more clearly when less congested.

The Trogir Riviera, stretching along the mainland coast opposite the old town, concentrates the region’s finest beaches. Okrug Gornji lies 8 kilometres away, a long shingle beach backed by pine forest and excellent for swimming. Medena Beach, 6 kilometres distant, draws families for its shallow approach and beach bars. Slatine, on the island of Čiovo (accessible via bridge from Trogir), offers a more secluded swimming experience.

Wine enthusiasts should visit Putlj Winery, situated in the hills behind Marina—a family operation offering tastings of local Dalmatian varieties, particularly the indigenous Plavac Mali red. The winery’s panoramic terrace provides views across the archipelago toward the Adriatic. Alternatively, the Zinfandel Wine Bar in Split’s old town (25 kilometres north, 30 minutes by car) pairs excellent regional wines with contemporary Dalmatian cuisine in a stone-vaulted setting dating to the medieval period.

Split itself, approximately 30 kilometres away, functions as the region’s cultural and culinary capital. Diocletian’s Palace, a Roman imperial residence from the 3rd century built directly into the town’s fabric, serves as both museum and living marketplace. The Riva waterfront stretches for over a kilometre, lined with restaurants, bars, and the constant movement of ferries connecting to the Adriatic islands.

Boat hire operates from Marina’s harbour; day trips to the Dalmatian islands—Brač, Hvar, Vis, Šolta—take between 45 minutes and two hours depending on destination. These islands remain substantially less developed than the mainland, with dramatic stone villages, hidden coves, and restaurants serving grilled fish caught that morning.

The coastal cycling route connecting Trogir northward toward Zadar passes through Marina, allowing guests to explore villages, vineyards, and agricultural land at human pace. Mountain biking trails penetrate inland toward the Dalmatian highlands; several operators in Trogir rent equipment and guide group rides.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families occupying 8 beds with distinct space for parents, teenagers, and younger children benefit from the four separate bedrooms and abundant bathrooms—morning routines proceed without bottlenecks. Multi-generational groups appreciate the combination of evening entertainment (pool, terrace socialising, dining for eight) with private retreat spaces.

Two couples travelling together find the villa’s layout ideal: two bedrooms with tubs and en-suite privacy for primary guests, two additional rooms for companions, shared outdoor spaces for evening aperitifs. Groups of friends seeking an active holiday—boat charter, island visits, coastal cycling—use the villa as a comfortable base rather than spending entire days poolside.

Families with children under eight benefit specifically from the shallow play areas, playground equipment, and the combination of direct beach access (for supervised swimming) plus the heated pool (for unsupervised splashing). The sauna and gym appeal to guests seeking to maintain routines; the chef service option suits families unwilling to spend holiday time cooking.

Couples without children may find the villa’s four-bedroom capacity results in unnecessary cost; this property functions best when all, or most, bedrooms occupy paying guests who collectively justify the nightly rate.
