Villa Ayia | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Orebic Orebic
Holiday Home Rental Description
Eight guests arrive at Orebic on the Pelješac Peninsula and find themselves steps from the Adriatic, with a furnished villa that commands views across the water and a private 30m² pool that catches the afternoon sun. Villa Ayia sits on the edge of one of Croatia’s most underrated coastal towns, where limestone hills meet pebble beaches and the ferry to Korčula departs just 1km away.
Inside Villa Ayia
Villa Ayia sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, distributed across a thoughtfully designed floor plan that keeps families and friend groups comfortable without creating a sprawling maze of corridors.
The kitchen anchors the living spaces—a fully equipped room with a dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine that works as a genuine gathering point rather than a service space. An adjacent dining area flows into a sitting room where a Smart TV and PlayStation 4 sit ready for downtime, though few guests find themselves indoors for long. A separate family bathroom positioned near the main living areas serves guests throughout the day.
Dedicated to fitness, a private gym contains a treadmill, Orbitrek exercise bike, and multifunctional training machine—the kind of setup that allows serious exercise routines without the commute to a distant facility.
Bedroom 1 features a double bed, wall-mounted TV, individual air conditioning unit, and work desk. Bedroom 2 pairs its double bed with an en-suite bathroom featuring a walk-in shower, plus air conditioning, TV, and desk. Bedroom 3 offers the same comfortable arrangement as Bedroom 1—double bed, air conditioning, television, and workspace. Bedroom 4 mirrors Bedroom 2’s layout with an ensuite shower room and identical bedroom amenities. All four bedrooms maintain consistent climate control through their dedicated air conditioning units.
A cot and highchair are provided for families traveling with infants. Practical facilities include a washing machine, dryer, iron, and hairdryers in each bathroom. Wi-Fi covers the entire property, allowing remote workers to maintain productivity from any room or terrace.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
Step beyond the main doors and the villa’s true character emerges. The private swimming pool measures 30m² and commands views that stretch toward the Adriatic horizon—the kind of vista that transforms a simple afternoon swim into an experience. Eight sunbeds and two parasols ring the pool deck, creating defined zones for sunbathing, reading, or simply watching the light move across the water through the afternoon.
A hot tub positioned to capture views offers a different texture of relaxation, particularly during shoulder seasons when evening air carries a chill. An outdoor shower stands nearby for rinsing off salt water before returning to the pool.
The shaded dining terrace functions as a second kitchen of sorts, with a full barbecue setup that transforms dinner into an event. Evening meals here—with lights strung overhead and the sound of the sea beyond the terrace edge—become the kind of memories that define a holiday. Eight sunbeds suggest the villa was designed for genuine multi-family occupation rather than theoretical maximum capacity.
Private parking ensures vehicles remain secure and out of sight, maintaining the villa’s focus on outdoor living rather than logistical clutter.
Location: Orebic and the Surrounding Area
Orebic itself occupies the southern tip of the Pelješac Peninsula, a region that remained largely undiscovered by mass tourism until recently. The town spreads along a coastline where mountains rise directly from the water, creating the physical drama that defines this part of Dalmatia.
The nearest pebble beach sits approximately 300 metres from Villa Ayia—a genuine walk-to-beach location rather than marketing hyperbole. Beaches along this stretch of coast include Trstenica Beach and Pomena Beach, both within 2km and characterised by clear water and modest development. The Maritime Museum in Orebic town center (2.5km away) documents the region’s seafaring history, while local waterfront cafés offer coffee and rakija overlooking anchored yachts.
For provisions, supermarkets operate within the town center, approximately 2km from the villa. Local restaurants cluster near the harborfront—establishments serving grilled fish, octopus salads, and wine from nearby Dingač vineyard, one of Europe’s steepest wine regions. The Dingač and Postup wine zones occupy the peninsula’s interior slopes, with several family-run estates offering tastings and views across the Adriatic toward Bosnia and Montenegro.
Ferry services to Korčula island depart from Orebic Harbor (1km from Villa Ayia) with summer sailings roughly every 2 hours. Korčula Old Town, often called “Little Dubrovnik,” features medieval stone architecture, narrow passages designed to block wind, and the Marco Polo Museum documenting the explorer’s reputed birthplace. The journey takes approximately 50 minutes by ferry.
Hiking trails network across the Pelješac Peninsula interior, with routes ranging from 1-hour walks to full-day mountain traverses. The Dalmatian coastline supports water sports including windsurfing and kayaking—several outfitters operate from Orebic harbor offering equipment rental and guided excursions to sea caves and isolated coves.

Nearest airport: Split Airport lies 85km north (approximately 90 minutes by car via the coastal road through Makarska). Zadar Airport operates 150km to the north (2 hours 15 minutes by road). Direct transfers can be arranged through local companies.
Best visiting seasons: May through October offer reliable sunshine and warm water temperatures (24-28°C by August). June and September provide ideal conditions—warm enough for swimming and terrace dining, but less intense heat than July-August. Spring (April-May) arrives with wildflowers across the peninsula. September through early October extends summer advantages while water temperatures remain comfortable for swimming.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Families with children gravitate to Villa Ayia because the pool provides supervised water play within the villa grounds, lifeguard-free beaches lie within walking distance, and the town of Orebic contains manageable numbers of visitors. The cot and highchair accommodate younger travelers; the PlayStation 4 occupies older children during afternoon heat.
Multi-generational groups spanning four bedrooms and two ensuite bathrooms find private sleeping arrangements without sacrificing common living space. Grandparents occupy an ensuite bedroom while parents and children distribute among the remaining rooms.
Friend groups of 6-8 benefit from the kitchen’s genuine cooking capacity and the outdoor dining setup that encourages shared meals. The gym equipment appeals to fitness-focused groups who want to maintain routines during holiday weeks.
Remote-working couples and small families find Villa Ayia suitable for extended stays. The dedicated work desks in each bedroom, reliable Wi-Fi, and quiet location support productivity, while the pool and proximity to beaches provide daily restoration. The outdoor shower adds a sensory dimension to mornings that office buildings cannot replicate.
Couples seeking privacy should note that the villa’s four-bedroom configuration makes it less ideal for two-person occupancy, though the layout supports romantic dinners on the shaded terrace.

Frequently Asked Questions about Villa Ayia
How many guests does Villa Ayia sleep?
Villa Ayia accommodates 8 guests across 4 bedrooms, each containing one double bed. The configuration suits two couples, two families, or a mixed group of friends and relatives. A cot is provided for infants, reducing the adult capacity to 7 if an infant occupies separate sleeping quarters. No sofa beds or rollaway beds are available; the stated 8-guest capacity reflects the four double beds and no additional sleeping surfaces.
What is the nearest airport to Villa Ayia in Orebic?
Split Airport (Aerodrom Split Dalmatia) lies 85km north of Orebic with an approximate 90-minute transfer time by car. The airport serves direct flights from most major European cities including London, Berlin, Vienna, Paris, and Amsterdam. Zadar Airport operates 150km to the north (approximately 2 hours 15 minutes by road) and provides a secondary option, though fewer flight schedules operate from this facility. Private transfer services are available from both airports; ground transportation via rental car is recommended for exploring the wider Pelješac Peninsula during your stay.
What is the best time of year to rent Villa Ayia?
May through October offers the most reliable weather and warmest sea temperatures. June and September represent the optimal window—sunshine is consistent, daytime temperatures range from 26-28°C, evening air remains warm for outdoor dining, and water temperatures exceed 22°C. July and August bring peak summer heat (30-32°C) and the highest concentration of visitors throughout coastal Dalmatia. May arrives with spring wildflowers and comfortable conditions before peak season crowds. October extends summer advantages with water temperatures around 20°C and fewer tourists. Winter months (November-March) see limited sunshine, occasional rain, and water temperatures below 14°C, making them unsuitable unless you specifically seek solitude and are prepared for unpredictable conditions.
Is Villa Ayia suitable for families with children?
Villa Ayia functions well for families with children of school age and older. The private 30m² pool with surrounding sunbed area provides safe water play under parental supervision—no lifeguard is present, so adult swimmers must supervise children at all times. Pebble beaches lie within walking distance (300 metres to the nearest beach), allowing families to explore the shoreline throughout the day. The PlayStation 4 in the main living area occupies children during afternoon heat. A cot and highchair are provided for guests traveling with infants or toddlers. The villa’s location in Orebic town means restaurants, cafés, and small shops are accessible without car journeys, and the town itself attracts relatively few mass tourists, creating a relaxed environment. Families should note that the nearest lifeguarded beach is at Lovrecina (approximately 3km), so independent beach time depends on children’s swimming ability and parental comfort level. Water safety education should precede pool use given the absence of lifeguard coverage.
What is included in the rental price at Villa Ayia?
The rental price includes Wi-Fi internet access, all air conditioning utilities, water and electricity, pool maintenance and chemical treatment, and standard linen and towels provided at check-in. Pool heating functions during May and October (spring and autumn periods); summer months (June-September) do not require heating given Mediterranean water temperatures. Cleaning service and final turnover cleaning are not included as standard unless specified within your booking confirmation. A returnable damage deposit is held against the condition of the property at checkout. Barbecue and outdoor dining equipment are available for guest use at no additional charge. All kitchen equipment including dishwasher, microwave, coffee machine, and cooking utensils are included. Gym equipment (treadmill, Orbitrek, multifunctional trainer) is available for guest use without additional fees.
