Casa Cos | 7-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Selca

Fourteen guests, seven bedrooms, one unobstructed view of the Adriatic that dominates every conversation on the terrace. Casa Cos stands on the Dalmatian coastline near Selca, a limestone village where stone masons have worked for centuries, creating buildings that glow white in the Mediterranean sun. This seafront luxury villa rental in Selca offers direct access to crystal waters and the kind of interior design that feels both contemporary and rooted in its island setting.

Inside Casa Cos

Casa Cos sleeps 14 guests across 7 bedrooms and 7 bathrooms, distributed across three distinct levels that follow the natural slope of the Dalmatian coastline.

The lower ground floor houses a double bedroom with a separate kitchenette and en-suite bathroom—ideal as a private guest suite or staff quarters. This level also contains a dedicated laundry facility and the villa’s wine cellar, where temperature-controlled storage holds both local Brač wines and international selections. The wine cellar reinforces the luxury villa rental experience, particularly for guests interested in Dalmatian viticulture.

The mezzanine level opens into bright, airy space with two bedrooms. The master suite features a king-size bed, spacious en-suite bathroom, and a separate wardrobe room. The second bedroom on this floor is a twin room with single beds, an en-suite shower room, and direct access to the sun terrace—a practical arrangement for families or friends who prefer semi-private sleeping arrangements. Both rooms enjoy southern exposure, capturing light throughout the day.

Ground level is where the villa’s social heart beats. An open-plan living area flows seamlessly from a fully equipped kitchen—featuring modern appliances, dishwasher, coffee machine, juicer, and blender—through a generous lounge and into a dedicated dining space. This layout encourages the kind of shared cooking and dining that transforms a rental into a genuine gathering place. A stone staircase provides architectural character while connecting the mezzanine to the upper floors.

The first floor contains four additional bedrooms, each with a king-size bed, en-suite bathroom, and a private balcony. These rooms are positioned to maximise privacy while maintaining panoramic views of the surrounding Dalmatian islands and the sea. The combination of individual balconies and shared terraces means every guest enjoys both solitude and community within the same property.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

Step outside and the Mediterranean reveals itself in layers. The heated private pool sits at the heart of the outdoor zone, surrounded by sun terraces furnished with loungers and garden furniture. The water temperature stays comfortable year-round thanks to the heating system—a practical luxury that extends the swimming season from May through October. The terrace looks south across the Adriatic, framing views of neighbouring islands that shift colour from sapphire to violet as the sun moves across the sky.

An additional kitchenette and traditional Dalmatian stone fireplace occupy one section of the terrace, creating an outdoor cooking area where barbecued fish and locally sourced vegetables become evening ritual. A summer gazebo provides shade for midday gatherings, while comfortable furniture encourages hours of conversation and relaxation. The private garden cultivates lavender, lemon, and lime trees—their scent mixing with salt air and pine smoke from the fireplace.

Parking accommodates multiple vehicles on the property. A covered dining area sits adjacent to the pool, positioned to capture views while remaining shaded during the hottest afternoon hours. This is the kind of outdoor space that functions equally well for morning coffee alone, family breakfast, or a dinner party of fourteen.

Location: Selca and the Surrounding Area

Selca itself sits 1.8km inland from Casa Cos—close enough for a ten-minute walk through narrow stone streets lined with local shops and traditional Dalmatian architecture. The village centre clusters around an imposing neo-Romanesque church, locally known as Brač Cathedral, which has anchored Selca’s spiritual and civic life for over a century. This is a working village, not a tourist resort: you’ll find the family-run bakery where bread still arrives warm, the market where fishermen’s wives sell their husbands’ morning catch, and restaurants where locals eat rather than visitors.

Brač itself is the largest island in Dalmatia, stretching across 40 square kilometres of limestone, pine forest, and Mediterranean scrub. The island’s interior supports olive groves, vineyards, and stone quarries—the source of the pale limestone used for buildings across the region. The town of Sumartin, 8km southeast, is Brač’s primary port and offers ferry connections to the mainland town of Makarska. Water sports outfitters in Sumartin arrange sea kayaking expeditions, snorkelling trips, and stand-up paddleboard rentals for guests keen to explore the coastline beyond Casa Cos’s private beach access.

The Adriatic beaches near Selca vary in character. A secluded pebble beach lies 500 metres from Casa Cos on foot—a quiet cove ideal for early morning swimming before the day heats up. Zlatni Rat, Brač’s most famous beach 15km south near Bol, is celebrated for its dramatic triangular shape and fine shingle rather than sand. The beach shifts position with seasonal winds and currents, a phenomenon that has fascinated visitors and geologists for centuries. Golden Cape Beach, near Sumartin, offers calmer waters and a gentler approach to the sea.

Food culture on Brač centres around fresh fish, local lamb, and vegetables grown in family gardens. Restaurants in Selca specialise in Dalmatian seafood stews called brodet, grilled octopus, and fresh pasta with seafood sauces. The island’s wine heritage includes dry white wines from the Pošip grape, which grows in limestone soils across the island. Several family wineries offer tastings and tours, providing cultural depth beyond beach time. Our Croatia travel guide provides detailed recommendations for dining and wineries across the region.

Transport to Casa Cos typically involves flying into Split Airport, 40km away on the mainland (approximately 50 minutes by car), then driving 10km to the ferry port at Makarska for the 50-minute crossing to Sumartin. Alternatively, the coastal road from Split winds through Dalmatian villages and reaches Selca in approximately 90 minutes via Omis. Peak season—July and August—brings warm, stable weather but also significant crowds on popular beaches. May, June, and September offer better balance: water temperatures of 19-21°C, fewer tourists, and long daylight hours. April and October see spring wildflowers or autumn light, with water temperatures around 15-17°C suitable for wetsuits. Winter on Brač is mild but cloudy, with occasional wind and rain.
