Villa Zara Croatia
Rental Description
This enchanting 2-bedroom stone villa combines cosiness and creative styling. Located in Privlaka, around 25 minutes’ drive from Zadar, Villa Zara is just 400m from the beach and offers its own private terrace with heated pool.
Your cute terrace offers the perfect place to relax day or night. Alongside the pool, you’ll find tempting sun loungers and a dining area complete with large barbecue – and there’s a poolside shower too.
Patio doors and an innovative glass wall facing the pool area give you a glimpse inside. Here, you have a very well appointed open-plan space, incorporating a corner sofa, dining table and chairs, and a widescreen TV with satellite channels. This air-conditioned area also includes a sleek kitchen with high-quality appliances such as a coffee machine, dishwasher and microwave.
A spiral staircase leads you upstairs, where you have the two bedrooms – one double and one twin – each of which has its own modern bathroom, TV and wardrobe storage, as well as lovely views. The sofa in the living room can accommodate an extra two guests if needed.
Villa Zara is within a short walk of the centre of Privlaka, and this small town offers good local amenities such as restaurants and supermarkets. You will find beach bars and regular entertainment events around the area.
There are plenty of good beaches down the coast on the way to the nearest large city, Zadar, where you can explore the beautiful Old Town with highlights like the Cathedral of St Anastasia, and experience the intriguing Sun Salutation and Sea Organ.
Privlaka is an attractive resort which lies around 18km from Zadar, situated on a peninsula to the north. With the sea on three sides, Privlaka is a great destination for beach lovers and also divers – with lots of caves, shipwrecks and sites of archaeological interest to explore. The lengthy, sandy beach of Sabunike is the largest in the area, but there are many more including Loznica, Škrapavac and Skoblari.
The town offers good opportunities for water sports, as well as beach bars and a good selection of restaurants and cafés serving Dalmatian cuisine. The pretty fishing harbour is a favourite hangout, and cultural events will give even more of a flavour of local life, with ‘Fishermen’s Nights’ among them.
It’s well worth spending some time in Zadar, as the city includes a fascinating Old Town with a variety of significant landmarks. The Roman Forum is alongside the Archbishop’s Palace and the Church of St Donat, and the Cathedral of St Anastasia is another must-see, providing incredible views across the region if you make the climb up the bell tower.
The Museum of Ancient Glass is one of Zadar’s highlights, featuring more than 5,000 pieces, many of them from Roman times. Situated in Cosmacendi Palace, the museum enjoys lovely views over Jazine Harbour, and offers workshops in glassmaking.
While the Museum of Ancient Glass is a relatively recent addition to the city, the Archaeological Museum was founded in 1832, making it the second-oldest museum in Croatia. With a permanent prehistoric exhibition, this excellent museum houses more than 100,000 artefacts.
Zadar is also known for a pair of creative installations from Croatian architect, Nikola Bašić. Head to the Sun Salutation at sunset to see the glorious solar-powered display light up glass panels beneath your feet. The Sea Organ is nearby and creates atmospheric melodies using the power of the waves.
There’s plenty of space to relax in Vladimira Nazora Park, which sits between the Old Town and the city’s modern area, or the nearby Five Wells Square. You can enjoy a stroll around Foša Harbour, along the city walls or through People’s Square – considered the centre of life in the city since medieval times.
