Villa Jozefina | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Seget Donji

Seget Donji’s quiet fishing village atmosphere gives way to something altogether different once you step through Villa Jozefina’s gates—a luxury villa rental in Trogir’s coastal hinterland that redefines what a family escape should feel like. Eight guests can spread across four bedrooms and four bathrooms across three thoughtfully separated floors, each one designed to ensure nobody’s queuing for the shower at 8am. The heated private pool sits at the lowest level, chlorine-free and surrounded by eight sun loungers, while the upper bedrooms command views toward the Adriatic that make morning coffee taste better than it has any right to.

Inside Villa Jozefina

Villa Jozefina sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms distributed across three distinct living levels. This layout—unusual for properties this size—means families can genuinely have separate spaces without feeling cramped or in each other’s way.

The lower ground floor operates as the social hub. An island kitchen with a wine cooler and full complement of appliances anchors this level, flowing into a dining area that overlooks the pool courtyard. A bedroom with a double bed opens directly onto the pool deck, making it ideal for parents wanting quick access to younger swimmers. The family bathroom here features a walk-in shower. The kitchen setup—coffee machine, dishwasher, all utilities—means you could actually cook here rather than eating out every night, though that’s obviously optional.

Ground level hosts the villa’s second living space. A spacious lounge features a fireplace (useful October through March), flat-screen television, and windows framing sea views across to the mainland. Another fully equipped kitchen sits on this floor with its own dining area, also with water views. A separate WC serves guests who don’t want to traverse stairs. This dual-kitchen setup makes sense when eight people are staying; you can operate independently if needed, or use one as a beverage station and the other for actual cooking.

The first floor contains the three remaining bedrooms. The master bedroom features a king-size bed with an en-suite bathroom equipped with a soaking tub—the kind where you can actually submerge rather than just rinse off. Two additional king-size bedrooms complete this level, along with a second family bathroom. Each bedroom captures different angles of the view; the master catches morning light while the side bedroom faces sunset.

Throughout the property: air conditioning, heating, safe, Wi-Fi, washing machine, dryer, iron and ironing board, hairdryers, and high chairs are standard. Television, wine cooler, and coffee machine come included. This is the inventory of a villa that’s thought through what people actually need beyond Instagram moments.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The heated swimming pool measures 8.3 metres by 3.4 metres—substantial enough for actual swimming rather than lounging, yet intimate enough that eight people don’t feel like a water park crowd. The chlorine-free system keeps the water gentler on skin and eyes. The pool runs year-round thanks to heating, making April and October swims viable rather than the preserve of the genuinely hardy.

Beyond the water sits a sun deck with eight individual loungers plus a separate lounge corner—the kind of seating area where conversations actually happen because people face each other rather than all staring outward. An outdoor shower lets you rinse off before entering the pool or after a day exploring Trogir’s streets. The covered dining area accommodates larger groups, while the built-in barbecue means grilling becomes a ritual rather than a hassle. Table tennis in the parking area provides entertainment for teenagers who’ve temporarily rejected screens.

The property parks up to three cars comfortably. The outdoor design flow—moving from kitchen to pool to dining to lounging—follows the logic of how people actually use space across a day, not some designer’s idea of what looks nice in a photograph.

Location: Seget Donji and the Surrounding Area

Villa Jozefina sits in Seget Donji, a small fishing village where the pace of life runs slower than the nearby tourist hubs, yet all those hubs remain within convenient reach. This location offers what serious travellers want: quiet mornings, populated evenings if desired, culture without crowds.

The pebble beach at Seget Donj Beach lies 2.5 kilometres south—a 5-minute drive or 30-minute walk, depending on energy levels and how much luggage you’re carrying. This beach works for families because it shelves gently and local restaurants line the shore for lazy lunch arrangements. The fishing port that characterises Seget Donji sits within walking distance, offering authentic village atmosphere and fresh seafood at modest prices. Several casual restaurants and cafes operate year-round here, serving locals rather than chasing tourist turnover—which typically means better food at better prices.

Trogir, 7 kilometres north-west, deserves a full day minimum. This UNESCO World Heritage site traces its history back over 2,300 years and the architecture reflects those centuries: Gothic facades alongside Baroque churches, Renaissance palaces squeezed into narrow streets. The Cathedral of St. Lovro stands as the area’s architectural centerpiece—a 13th-century structure that rewards a proper visit rather than a photo stop. The old town’s narrow streets contain independent shops, galleries, and restaurants that actual residents use, not just tourist-focused establishments. Parking exists but the old town itself demands exploration on foot.

Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, sits 30 kilometres to the north-east—roughly a 40-minute drive. This sprawling coastal city contains the Diocletian Palace (a Roman structure still functioning as the old town’s living heart), the Split Archaeological Museum, and the Mladezi Park stadium for those wanting to catch local sports. The nightlife and dining scene scale up considerably here; it’s the place for evening energy if the villa’s quieter surroundings feel insufficient. For destination inspiration, explore our comprehensive Croatia travel guide.

The Krka waterfalls lie 50 kilometres inland—an exceptional half-day excursion where water cascades through national park terrain. Boat tours depart from various Trogir-area marinas offering glimpses of nearby islands including Drvenik and Ciovo. For those interested in regional exploration beyond the coast, browse our villas in Opcina Seget for alternative bases, or check our broader European villa collection.

The supermarket and mini-market operate within 2 kilometres, restocking provisions without driving to Split. Split Airport (SPU) lies 9.7 kilometres away—approximately 15 minutes by car under normal conditions. The seasonal pattern runs May through September for peak warmth (temperatures 25-30°C), April and October for pleasant weather without summer intensity, November through March for quieter exploration with weather suited to coastal walks rather than beach lounging.

For those wanting the full regional experience, our Seget Donji collection offers alternative properties in this characterful village.

Who This Villa Suits Best

Extended families with teenagers benefit considerably from the three-floor layout—older kids can occupy the first floor with genuine privacy while parents monitor younger children from the ground level. The four bathrooms eliminate the morning scheduling conflicts that plague smaller properties.

Multi-generational groups find the dual kitchens and dual living areas allow flexible routines: grandparents might prefer early dinners while adult children want later meals; some guests rise at 5am while others sleep until 10. The ground-floor bedroom suits those with mobility considerations or those preferring not to navigate stairs with luggage.

Business groups using the villa as a base for regional meetings appreciate the reliable Wi-Fi, workspace-capable dining tables, and professional kitchen for client entertainment. The location offers Trogir’s cultural credentials without Split’s corporate tourism atmosphere.

Couples without children seeking villa privacy with village access find the space offers complete separation from shared accommodation without resorting to hotel anonymity. The pool, sea views, and outdoor dining hit specific luxury villa rental notes that couples typically seek.

Active families planning water sports, hiking, or boat excursions use the villa as a comfortable home base where everyone retires properly rested rather than booking hotel rooms that require leaving early each morning.

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Jozefina?

May through September offers consistently warm weather (25-30°C) with reliable sunshine—ideal for serious swimming and outdoor living. However, July and August bring peak tourist crowds to nearby Trogir and Split, meaning restaurants require reservations and beaches become populated. April and October provide pleasant temperatures (18-24°C) with dramatically fewer tourists; perfect for cultural exploration and coastal walks without summer intensity. November through March sees occasional rain and cooler conditions (8-15°C) but the property’s heating and fireplace make this season workable for those avoiding summer crowds. Pool heating extends the swimming season through shoulder months.

Is Villa Jozefina suitable for families with children?

Yes, villa facilities specifically support families. The heated pool operates year-round with no harsh chlorine—gentler on children’s eyes and skin. The gentle shelving Seget Donj Beach lies 2.5 kilometres away, suitable for young swimmers. The villa includes a high chair and baby cot for infants. The ground-floor bedroom allows parents to keep young children nearby without navigating stairs constantly. Multiple bathrooms prevent morning shower conflicts with kids. Table tennis entertains teenagers during downtime. The property’s three-floor layout allows children to play safely away from main living areas while remaining supervised. The village itself operates at a slower pace than major tourist centers, reducing overstimulation stress for families seeking genuine rest.

What is included in the rental price at Villa Jozefina?

Standard inclusions cover Wi-Fi internet access throughout the villa, air conditioning and heating, pool heating and maintenance, kitchen utilities (electricity, gas, water), all kitchen appliances and cookware, washing machine and dryer with detergents, safe, television, wine cooler, coffee machine, outdoor shower, barbecue facilities, and table tennis equipment.

What restaurants and shops are near Villa Jozefina?

Within the village of Seget Donji, several casual restaurants and cafes operate along the fishing harbor—these serve local residents rather than tourist hordes, typically resulting in fresher preparations and more authentic cuisine at modest prices. Seafood features prominently given the port’s fishing activity. A supermarket and mini-market both operate within 2 kilometres of the villa for self-catering supplies. Trogir town (7 kilometres away) contains numerous independent restaurants, cafes, and shops—ranging from casual gelato stands to more formal dining establishments. The narrow streets include local bakeries, fresh produce vendors, and independent boutiques rather than chain stores. Split (30 kilometres away) offers restaurant diversity scaling from casual pizzerias through Michelin-recognized establishments alongside shopping centers for provisions or specific purchases. The village’s proximity to authentic fishing harbor dining means you can eat remarkably well without driving far.
