Villa Josie | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Supetar

Supetar’s harborfront pulses with life, yet Villa Josie sits elevated above the bustle, offering complete privacy for groups seeking a luxury villa rental in Brac. The moment you arrive, the Adriatic unfolds across your terrace—not as a postcard, but as your daily backdrop. This contemporary residence accommodates 11 guests across 5 distinct bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, designed for families and friend groups who refuse to compromise on space or comfort.

Inside Villa Josie

Villa Josie sleeps 11 guests across 5 bedrooms and 4 bathrooms, arranged across three levels with architectural thoughtfulness. Ground floor living anchors the home: a fully equipped kitchen with modern appliances flows directly into an open-plan dining and lounge area where windows frame the private pool beyond. The kitchen accommodates serious meal preparation—the kind of space where group cooking becomes an event rather than a chore. A sauna sits discreetly on the ground floor, along with laundry facilities and a guest WC.

The first floor holds two primary bedrooms. Bedroom 1 features a queen-size bed (160x200cm), private en-suite with shower, television, air conditioning, and a terrace capturing morning light. Bedroom 2 offers three single beds—the ideal configuration for children or companions who prefer separate sleeping arrangements. Both rooms include air conditioning and television access.

The mezzanine level introduces Bedrooms 3 and 4, each a queen bedroom (160x200cm) with en-suite bathrooms, televisions, air conditioning, and surround sound systems. These rooms connect directly to the outdoor cinema experience—watch films on the projection screen while reclining on your bed, a seamless indoor-outdoor entertainment continuity.

The master bedroom occupies the second floor, claiming the villa’s finest dimensions and views. A king-size bed (180x200cm) dominates the space, paired with a freestanding bathtub positioned to capture natural light and sea glimpses. The en-suite shower is separate, alongside a walk-in wardrobe, television, air conditioning, and a private terrace that becomes your morning sanctuary. From this vantage point, ferries drift toward Split while the sun descends behind distant mountains.

The roof level serves dual purposes: a fenced lounge area offers protected outdoor relaxation, while the attic home office provides professional workspace with dual desks, office chairs, computers, and kitchenette facilities—essential for digital nomads or those unwilling to fully disconnect from work demands.

Throughout Villa Josie, Wi-Fi connectivity remains constant, satellite television reaches international channels, air conditioning manages the Mediterranean heat, and games consoles entertain younger guests. High chairs and cots accommodate infants, acknowledging that multi-generational travel requires practical flexibility.

Outdoor Spaces and Living

The exterior grounds transform this villa into a complete resort. A 34-square-meter heated swimming pool—equipped with hydro-massage jets—maintains comfortable temperatures even during shoulder seasons. Surrounding the pool, deck chairs and bean bags invite afternoon lounging, while the outdoor dining area seats twelve people beneath Mediterranean light.

Your private cinema operates nightly: a projector with surround-sound system broadcasts across the courtyard, where olive and citrus trees frame the screen. There’s something distinctly luxurious about watching films while the sea breeze carries the scent of salt and citrus blossoms. An outdoor shower allows rinsing off chlorine or sand without tracking dampness indoors. A charcoal barbecue facilitates evening gatherings—the smell of grilled fish and lamb fat becoming your villa’s signature aroma.

The courtyard itself functions as the property’s beating heart, designed with minimalist landscaping that emphasizes space rather than clutter. Stone paving, mature olive trees, and carefully positioned seating create distinct zones for sun worship, conversation, or solitude. The heated pool reflects sky throughout the day, shifting from pale blue at dawn to deep turquoise by midday.

Location: Supetar and the Surrounding Area

Villa Josie occupies Supetar, Brac’s largest settlement and primary ferry gateway, positioned 2.5km from the town center where restaurants, cafes, and markets cluster around the harbor. This arrangement provides convenience without sacrificing tranquility—you’re minutes from dining but sufficiently removed to experience genuine quiet.

Brac itself has acquired legendary status among Mediterranean travelers. Zlatni Rat beach, located 8km south, remains the island’s most photographed destination—a triangular pebble formation that shifts shape with seasonal currents and offers crystalline swimming waters. The beach earned its English name, Golden Cape, through centuries of maritime legend.

Vidova Gora, the Adriatic’s highest island peak at 778 meters, rises 6km inland from your villa. The hiking ascent takes approximately 90 minutes and rewards summiting visitors with panoramic vistas encompassing neighboring Hvar and Vis islands, the Dalmatian coast, and Split’s urban sprawl. Mountain bikers favor the technical trails descending toward Bol, a quieter town 12km south known for windsurfing and bohemian beach culture.

Water-based exploration defines Brac’s appeal. Kayaking operators based in Supetar harbor launch daily expeditions to hidden coves along the island’s eastern coastline, while snorkeling sites reveal underwater kelp forests and Mediterranean fish populations. Scuba diving communities discover submerged shipwrecks and cave systems, particularly around Vis island (15km offshore, accessible by day boat).

Split, visible across the water on clear days, lies 35km northwest by ferry (approximately 50 minutes crossing time). Diocletian’s Palace, constructed in the 3rd century AD, dominates Split’s old town—a UNESCO-recognized complex where Roman walls contain contemporary shops, galleries, and restaurants, creating layered history that appeals to culturally curious travelers. The Dalmatian Coast Travel Guide offers detailed exploration strategies for maximizing Split visits.

Local dining reflects Dalmatian traditions: fresh seafood features prominently in Supetar restaurants within walking distance of Villa Josie, particularly establishments around the harbor like Konoba Ribarska and Palacio. These family-operated venues serve grilled cuttlefish, local wine, and olive oil produced from the very trees surrounding your villa. Visit during summer months (June through August) and anticipate peak crowds; shoulder seasons (May and September) offer superior weather with reduced tourism density.
