Villa Frane Croatia

Boasting a breathtaking beachfront location and an incredible heated infinity pool, Villa Frane is an unmissable villa for a large group of friends or family, just 10 minutes from the airport!
These interiors exude a classical elegance, with traditional patterns and fabrics throughout, complementing a range of contemporary comforts. Your kitchen is expansive and thoroughly modern, providing guests with the space necessary to prepare everything from a light breakfast to a hearty dinner, and there’s a lovely dining table at which to enjoy it. Right beside this is an L-shaped sofa which stretches the full length of the room, flooded with warm, natural light thanks to the three sets of French doors which surround the room. This open-plan design is perfect for gathering the whole group together for quality time, whether dining, chatting or simply watching the TV. And for really switching off, unwinding and experiencing a full-body rejuvenation there’s a sauna and a jacuzzi available too! If you’re more of an active relaxer and find your peace in a good work-out, there’s a gym here for you as well!
There are seven sumptuous bedrooms to choose from, six with king-size beds, one with both a double and a single bed, perfect for guests travelling with a youngster. Several of the rooms feature garden or terrace access through huge patio doors providing stunning sea-views, and many have a wall-mounted TV and/or an elegant dressing table. All of the eight beds have majestic headboards that demonstrate the elegance and charm of this superb property. Several also feature fabulous en-suite bathrooms, with six bathrooms in total between the seven rooms, all with marble tiling throughout and walk-in showers.
Your garden is certainly a highlight of this sublime property, with a huge, heated infinity pool stretching the width of it. With loungers all around it, this is the perfect place to soak up the sunshine in the most exquisite environment! There’s also a casual seating area here, and the jacuzzi is just to one side, with a swinging sofa pod to the other. The garden absolutely comes to life by night, as perfectly positioned lights flick on and warmly light the elegant space, creating an atmosphere of opportunity. Nestled right on the beachfront, in the quaint neighbourhood of Kaštel Stari, and only 15km from Split, Villa Frane is perfectly located to enjoy the highlights of a holiday in Croatia.
Split itself is a vibrant and exciting city, absolutely flourishing with activity both day and night. Enjoy a stroll through the many independent shops, cafes and restaurants in the day time, and be sure to return in the evening, when the winding streets and narrow avenues come alive with music and chatter! The bars come in all shapes and sizes and can be found tucked away among the trees, through secret doorways and hidden in tiny passageways. Diocletian’s Palace, the true heart of Split, is a fantastically preserved Roman monument with UNESCO World Heritage Site status and is just 15km away!
For a little nature, be sure to visit the Krka National Park, only about an hour’s drive away, and if you have the time – the Plitviče Lakes National Park, about two and a half hours away, is a haven of sparkling turquoise lakes joined across 16 terraces by powerful, beautiful waterfalls. And for a sunny day out on the water, take a ferry from the palm-tree-lined promenade to one of the thousands of islands of the Adriatic Sea, many just a few minutes’ ride away!
Less than half an hour away is the Marjan hill, a beautifully peaceful spot above the city of Split, where you can enjoy stunning views and a tranquil walk through the forested hillside. Indeed, from breathtaking scenery, a rich history and culture and a world-famous culinary scene – you will find it all in Croatia! A myriad of enchanting towns and villages, rich in history and culture, are nestled among the undulating countryside.
Much like its neighbouring Italy, Croatia is a gastronome’s paradise, home to world-class cuisine and, especially in the north, endless rows of vineyards – be sure to try the local wines!
Split also has an international airport, within just 10 minutes of the villa, while the city also has an excellently well-connected ferry port.
