Situated right on the beachfront in the pretty village of Slatine on Ciovo Island, Villa Manders II is exceptional. With its sleek design, huge spaces and deluxe furnishings, it is the perfect destination for 12 guests wanting some peace and relaxation yet be in the heart of the Dalmatian resorts. With two amazing separate lounge, dining and kitchen areas, it would be perfect for two families that want to holiday together but have a little private time or a large family group or friends.
The picturesque village Slatine is just 6km from the beautifully historic Trogir, 11km from the airport and opposite the fabulous Split Old Town and the stunning Marjan peninsula. It is also so close to discover Brac and Hvar Islands.   Villa Manders II is elegant and so light and airy. The huge windows and doors let so much light in, everywhere you look just dazzles! The views from the terraces, balcony and windows are incredible. On the northern side of Ciovo, you look out to the spectacular, azure Kastela Bay and the Croatian mainland. This lovely villa is just 5 metres from the beach. The pool and terrace are so relaxing with nothing in front of you but blue sky and blue water. The covered terrace has a barbecue, quality dining furniture and further sun loungers. There are plenty of sun loungers around the pool too to top up that holiday tan! To the side of the villa is a pretty, small garden.  The open-plan living, dining and kitchen area on the ground floor is so impressive with comfy furniture and two huge doors to the terrace. The deluxe kitchen is pristine with everything you would wish for. The villa is minimalistic with neutral colours though interspersed with vivid modern art. It looks so cool! The modern, trendy staircase leads you to the second floor with spacious, perfect king bedrooms and dazzling ensuite bathrooms. The second fabulous open-plan living, dining and kitchen area is on the third floor, as well as more bedrooms and bathrooms. The balcony, equipped with another barbecue and dining suite, makes the most of the astonishing views. There are six bedrooms in total, all with super comfy king beds and quality linens. The sparkling ensuites are a mix of baths, walk-in showers or both and are absolutely immaculate. You will be in a rush to get out! The villa also has a huge 100 sqm secluded roof terrace. The views are even more spectacular the higher you go! Villa Manders II is a first class holiday destination. There is even space to moor a boat if you have one as well as 24-hour access to the resort’s gym.
Villa Manders II is located in a seafront position, together with our other property
Villa Manders I, which sleeps twelve. These holiday homes can be rented in combination with one another, making them perfect for larger groups.Villa Manders II is in a great location in Slatine with just 5m to the beach and 100m to shops and a coffee bar. Slatine is picturesque with a lovely beach, several bars and restaurants, a bakery and a small shop. It is peaceful and quiet. Boats go from Slatine to Trogir and Split, which may be easier and more relaxing than taking the car. Okrug Gornji has a 2km stretch of pebble beach with an inflatable fun park and amazing watersports. It is the busiest place on the island with summer festivals with music and dancing. Arbanija has a few restaurants, beaches, small supermarkets and the historic St Cross Monastery. There are attractive beaches on Ciovo. Some cannot be reached by road so you might want to hire a boat for a day to explore the charming, hidden coves. Saldun Bay is very popular with excellent equipment and bars and restaurants.  Ciovo cuisine is typically Mediterranean with lots of fresh fish, olive oil and, of course, accompanied by the delicious local wines. If you are eating the local pork dishes, then the pork is usually dried, then smoked in the sun and cut into thin slices. Quite often this is served as a delicacy with local cheeses, olives and onions. The choice of seafood is huge.  You should try the scarpena or devilfish, cub and dorado as well as the tasty seabass, sole and flounder. The black rizhot with cuttlefish ink is very tasty and goes down very well with Opolo, Plavac or Dingac wines.  Desserts usually include nuts, honey, fruit and different types of cream.  The tiny Drvenik Veli Island is located next to Ciovo and is very popular with sandy beaches. The most beautiful beach is next to Vela Rina pier. Another charming island is Drvenik Mali with two amazing beaches, Krknjasi and Solinska. Both islands have retained their unique natural landmarks and are popular for divers and snorkelling fans.  The main attraction when staying on Ciovo is the alluring, UNESCO World Heritage recognised city of Trogir. You get to the central, historically valuable part of Trogir by crossing the bridge over the canal that separates the old quarters from the newer ones. Romanesque architecture sits on this tiny island harmoniously with the Baroque and Renaissance architecture. Interesting buildings are the Chapel of St John at the Cathedral of St Lawrence, Kamberlengo Castle and the Cipiko Palace as well as the 17th century stone gates. The little narrow streets, all squashed together, are so charming.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
