Villa Blues | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Pucisca Pucisca
Holiday Home Rental Description
Twelve guests arrive in Pučišća on the northern coast of Brač and step directly into a five-bedroom stone villa with sightlines across the Adriatic. Villa Blues sits 600 metres from the beach—close enough for a morning swim, far enough to feel genuinely secluded. This is a luxury villa rental in Pučišća that trades the frantic pace of coastal tourism for something slower: limestone terraces, the sound of cicadas at dusk, salt air that smells of rosemary and wild herbs. The Croatian island of Brač has drawn architects and designers for centuries because of its stone; Villa Blues itself is built from that same white limestone that travelled to the White House and Diocletian’s Palace in Split.
Inside Villa Blues
Villa Blues sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms, spread across two distinct living levels that feel more like two interconnected homes than a single rental.
The ground floor opens into a substantial living zone. Two king-bed bedrooms anchor this level—one with an en-suite shower room, the second with a private shower bathroom attached. A third space functions as a compact fitness studio, ideal for early morning weights or yoga before the Mediterranean heat peaks. The kitchen on this floor is fully equipped for serious cooking: dishwasher, microwave, full refrigeration, and the kind of counter space that makes menu planning feel like an actual possibility rather than holiday improvisation. From here, a dining area flows directly onto the south-facing terrace, where most outdoor meals happen.
An external staircase—a practical feature that’s also architecturally elegant—leads to the first floor. Here the space opens up considerably. Floor-to-ceiling doors frame unobstructed sea views and allow afternoon light to dominate. Three additional king bedrooms occupy this level. Two of them feature en-suite bathrooms with showers; the third offers a private shower bathroom. One bedroom also contains a sofa bed, adding flexibility if the party includes teenagers or needs extra sleeping arrangements. A second kitchen sits on this floor, along with a separate dining area and lounge space—useful if one group wants to eat early while another prefers a late dinner.
Additional interior amenities include a laundry room with washing machine and dryer, a fireplace for cooler evenings (rare but welcome in spring or autumn), and televisions in every bedroom. A cot and high chair are on hand for families travelling with young children. The air-conditioning system runs throughout, though the coastal breeze and shaded terraces mean you’ll rarely need to run it during peak summer.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The heated swimming pool measures 40 square metres—substantial enough for genuine lap swimming, intimate enough that it doesn’t dominate the landscape. Sun loungers position themselves on the surrounding terrace; a permanent shaded lounge pavilion provides all-day shade for anyone avoiding the midday UV intensity. An outdoor shower allows guests to rinse off salt water without traipsing through the house.
The dining terrace is where the villa’s social life happens. Sunset dinners here run late—the light lasts until nearly 9pm in summer, and the westward exposure means the sun sinks directly over the sea. A badminton court and table tennis table occupy a flatter section of the grounds; two bicycles are provided for exploring the immediate neighbourhood at a pace that lets you actually notice things. A kayak is available for those who want to paddle out into shallow Adriatic coves rather than swim from the beach.
The limestone gardens aren’t manicured—this is a working Croatian property, not a photoshoot backdrop. Native plants thrive in the rocky soil: wild herbs that smell stronger in the heat, occasional flowering shrubs, the kind of authentic Mediterranean planting that requires minimal water. Parking is private and secure.
Location: Pučišća and the Surrounding Area
Pučišća itself is a working stone-quarrying town on Brač’s northern coast, not a tourist resort dressed up as one. The town’s identity is literally carved from its landscape: for centuries, local masons have extracted and shaped the island’s famous white limestone. The Pučišća Stone Masonry School documents this heritage and welcomes visitors interested in traditional craft. The waterfront promenade offers a genuine local experience—cafés where Croatians (not tour groups) drink coffee, restaurants serving slow-cooked lamb and fresh seafood, narrow streets where Renaissance and Baroque buildings date to when Pučišća’s stone was already celebrated across Europe.
The Brač Summer Music Festival runs through July and August, bringing classical concerts and jazz performances to outdoor venues throughout the island. The nearest supermarket is within 2km; traditional markets operate in central Pučišća on mornings when locals shop for that day’s produce.
Beach options spread along the northern coast. The pebble shore closest to Villa Blues—a 600-metre walk downhill—offers crystal-clear water and minimal crowds even in high season. Bol, on Brač’s southern side (23km away), features the famous Zlatni Rat beach, a crescent of shingle and sand that shifts seasonally. The beaches around Supetar (18km west) suit families; the coves near Milna (16km southwest) work well for kayaking and snorkelling. Water sports operators throughout the island rent sea kayaks, offer windsurfing lessons, and arrange boat trips to nearby islands: Hvar is 8km across open water, Vis is 22km, and Dalmatian cave systems are accessible by boat.

Split’s Diocletian’s Palace lies 45km away (a 45-minute drive); the town itself is worth a day visit for Roman history and waterfront dining. Inland, the Makarska Riviera offers dramatic mountain-to-sea scenery. The island’s interior is accessible by rental car or organised cycling tours.
Best timing: June and September offer warm weather (26-28°C) without July and August crowds. The Brač Summer Music Festival peaks in late July. Spring (April-May) suits hiking and wildflowers. October still offers 22-24°C water temperatures and fewer tourists. Winter is quiet—many restaurants close—but storms occasionally close ferry routes.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Extended families of 10-12 people find Villa Blues ideal because the two-level layout allows natural separation: grandparents and younger couples on one floor, adult children and teenagers on another. Multi-generational groups appreciate the mix of activities (pool, kayak, beach, badminton, table tennis) that keeps different age groups engaged without forcing constant group activities.
Groups of four to six friends renting together like the dual kitchens and lounges—you can cook separately if meal preferences diverge, or share one kitchen and eat communally. The heated pool and proximity to swimming beaches mean you’re not dependent on a single activity.
Couples seeking a quieter base rather than a party villa benefit from the secluded setting and the absence of nightlife infrastructure. Pučišća has restaurants and cafés but not clubs or late-night bars.
Families with young children find the private heated pool safer than relying on beach swimming, plus the cot and high chair are genuinely available (not a generic afterthought). The flat terrace areas suit toddlers; older children can cycle to the village or paddle the kayak in shallow water.
Anyone who cooks seriously appreciates two full kitchens and the freedom to plan menus around what’s available at local markets rather than what a catering company decides to provide.

Frequently Asked Questions about Villa Blues
How many guests does Villa Blues sleep?
Villa Blues sleeps 12 guests across 5 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. Four bedrooms contain king beds with en-suite bathrooms; one bedroom offers a king bed plus a sofa bed with a private bathroom. This configuration suits families (the sofa bed works for children or teenagers) or groups where one couple doesn’t mind sharing a sofa bed with a child during part of the stay.
What is the nearest airport to Villa Blues in Pučišća?
Split Airport (Zračna Luka Split) is the main international gateway, 50km away via a scenic coastal drive and a 20-minute ferry crossing. The journey typically takes 70-90 minutes total. Bol Airport sits on Brač itself, 35km from Villa Blues (approximately 40-minute drive), but handles primarily European charter flights and fewer daily services. Ground transfers from either airport can be arranged through Excellence Luxury Villas.
What is the best time of year to rent Villa Blues?
June and September offer ideal conditions: water temperatures of 24-26°C, daytime heat of 26-28°C, and significantly fewer tourists than peak July-August. The Brač Summer Music Festival runs through July and August if classical concerts or jazz appeal to your group. April through May suits those interested in wildflowers and hiking without summer intensity. October maintains 22-24°C water temperatures and pleasant hiking conditions. Winter (November-March) is quiet but includes occasional ferry disruptions due to weather; many restaurants close seasonally.
Is Villa Blues suitable for families with children?
Yes, with practical caveats. The private heated pool (40 square metres) provides safe swimming for young children under supervision; lifeguards don’t patrol private pools, so adult supervision is essential. The 600-metre walk to the nearest beach is manageable for families with children aged 5 and up. A cot and high chair are provided. The property itself has no obvious hazards (no cliff edges, no unfenced water features). Pučišća lacks organised children’s activities, so entertainment depends on beach time, pool time, cycling, and boat trips. A rental car is essentially necessary if you’re travelling with young children and want flexibility beyond walking distance.
What is included in the rental price at Villa Blues?
All utilities (electricity, water, gas heating), Wi-Fi internet throughout the villa, air-conditioning, pool heating (October through April), bed linen and bath towels, daily housekeeping service, and secure private parking. Access to bicycles, kayak, badminton equipment, and table tennis is included. Chef service, expanded maid service, and vehicle transfers can be arranged separately at additional cost.
What restaurants and shops are near Villa Blues?
Pučišća town centre (3.5km away) contains several restaurants specialising in Brač seafood and traditional Dalmatian slow-cooked meats. A supermarket operates near the town centre; a traditional market with fresh vegetables, fish, and local cheese runs several mornings weekly. Restaurants in Supetar (18km west) offer a broader range of cuisines and international options. Bol (23km south) has restaurants focused on the tourist crowd; quality varies. For serious dining experiences, Split (45km away) offers Michelin-starred options, though the ferry journey makes it a full-day excursion. Arranging a private chef to cook at Villa Blues—using ingredients from local markets—is a popular alternative to repeated restaurant visits.
