Villa Bialetti | 4-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Slatine Split

Eight guests, four bedrooms, three bathrooms, and a heated private pool that overlooks the Adriatic. Villa Bialetti sits on Ciovo island in Slatine, Croatia—where the shoreline curves around your terrace and the nearest restaurant is a 10-minute walk away. This is a contemporary seafront property designed around one simple idea: how to spend a week doing as little or as much as you choose.

Inside Villa Bialetti

Villa Bialetti sleeps 8 guests across 4 bedrooms and 3 bathrooms, distributed across an open-plan interior that flows from the kitchen straight onto the terrace. The ground floor holds the main living zone: a large open-concept kitchen, dining area, and lounge with flat-screen television and fireplace. This is the kind of kitchen that makes even reluctant cooks volunteer for dinner duty—fully equipped with dishwasher, microwave, and coffee machine, it opens directly onto the covered dining area outside.

The four bedrooms each contain a double bed. Bedroom 1 features sea views, an en-suite bathroom with shower, and its own sense of separation from the main house. Bedroom 2 also offers an en-suite with shower. Bedrooms 3 and 4 share a family bathroom with shower and are positioned to catch morning light. A separate lounge area with kitchenette opens onto the terrace—useful for guests who want their own quiet retreat. A ground-floor WC serves the main living spaces.

Additional facilities include a shared fitness room, washing machine, tumble dryer, iron and board, and cot and highchair for families with young children. Wi-Fi and air conditioning throughout mean you can work if you need to, or ignore your inbox entirely. Parking is available on-site.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The terrace is where Villa Bialetti reveals its purpose. South-facing, it hosts a heated private swimming pool with adjacent sunbeds—the water temperature stays at a comfortable level from April through October, and the pool forms the focal point of the outdoor entertaining space. Beyond the pool, the eye travels across lawn toward the sea itself, visible from almost every angle of the property.

A summer kitchen sits at one end of the terrace, equipped with a barbecue. A covered dining area, separate from the summer kitchen, seats groups comfortably for meals prepared indoors or grilled outside. Beside the dining pavilion, a covered seating area with soft furnishings creates a shaded retreat during the hottest hours. An outdoor shower allows you to rinse off salt water before returning inside.

The hot tub, positioned to maximize views, becomes the gathering point after sunset—stars visible overhead, the sound of the Adriatic just beyond the property boundary. The lawn extends toward the coastline, and the actual beach lies within a two-minute walk, making spontaneous swims possible at any hour.

Location: Slatine and the Surrounding Area

Slatine occupies the western coast of Ciovo island, directly across from the Dalmatian mainland. The village functions as a quiet working port and residential area—no high-rise development, no franchise restaurants, no tourism machinery. Villa Bialetti sits on the shoreline facing northwest toward the Adriatic, with the Croatian coast and the Dinaric Mountains visible across the water on clear days.

Okrug Beach, the island’s most developed strand, lies 2km away and offers cafés, water sports rental, and a livelier social atmosphere. For quieter swimming, Kava Beach (3km) and Labadusa Beach (4km) provide family-friendly coves with shallow water and local restaurants. All three beaches are reachable by car within 10 minutes or by bicycle in 20 minutes.

Trogir, a UNESCO-listed medieval town, sits 8km southeast and functions as the cultural anchor of the region. Its Old Town, enclosed by stone walls, contains Romanesque churches, Renaissance palaces, and a working market selling local produce, fish, and Croatian wine. The Cathedral of St. Lawrence dominates the main square. Trogir’s waterfront restaurants specialize in fresh seafood and Dalmatian peka (slow-cooked meat and vegetables under a dome). The town served as a Venetian stronghold for 400 years and retains that architectural character.

Split, Croatia’s second-largest city, lies 25km south and houses Diocletian’s Palace—a Roman fortress built in 305 AD that now forms the city’s living center, containing bars, shops, apartments, and museums within its ancient walls. Split Airport (25km, 30 minutes by car) handles flights from European capitals. The city’s Riva waterfront and Marjan Park offer additional attractions beyond the palace itself.

From Villa Bialetti, day trips are simple. Brac island (30km by ferry from Okrug Beach) contains Zlatni Rat, a famous pebble beach, and local wineries producing Posip white wine. Hvar island (45km by ferry) offers lavender fields, Roman theaters, and nightlife in its main town. Salona, ancient Roman capital of Dalmatia, sits 35km away near Split and contains archaeological remains spanning 2,000 years.

The season runs April through October, with June-September offering reliably warm weather and sea temperatures above 20°C. May and September see fewer crowds than July-August, making these months ideal for those wanting warmth without peak tourism. Winter is mild but damp. Local markets operate throughout the year, with fish markets particularly active Tuesday through Saturday mornings in Trogir.
