Villa Gravel Croatia

Wow! Villa Gravel is a brand new ‘Grand Designs’ type modern blend of stone and stark white. Its leading-edge, contemporary overhanging 1st floor is artistic and it is on a large, very private plot offering complete seclusion for up to 8 guests in 3 bedrooms. The villa is located in an absolutely quiet part of Ugljane village, very scenic but it is only 1km to a minimarket, restaurant and bar. Ugliane is up on the stunning mountains between Split and Omis. The nearest town is Trilj on the Cetina river. Split is just 30 minutes away. Villa Gravel has been designed with fantastic flair inside and out. It boasts a truly urban appearance and is surrounded by unspoiled greenery. What a setting with its wonderfully undisturbed views of nature and fields! The outdoor area is completely private. It has a delightful 29sqm pool, terrace with modern furniture and covered state-of-the-art dining area complete with tv! It is so peaceful and serene. Children will love the table tennis table, trampoline and vast space to run and play. Inside, the double-height aspect atrium is impressive with its stunning lighting hanging from suspended wooden beams. The open space concept of living and dining is light and beautiful. The art collection is contemporary and complementary to this fantastic space as is the well-chosen furniture. You feel like you are in an art gallery.  The trendy staircase takes you to 3 immaculate bedrooms. 2 bedrooms have king-sized beds and sofa beds for another person and the other has twin beds. All of the bedrooms have incredible en-suites.
All of the wall finishings and bathroom tiles are very cool. You might very easily want to know where they came from! The bedrooms have very voguish open wardrobes. From the open hallway, you can step onto 2 spacious terraces, one facing South and the other facing North.
Both have wonderful outdoor lounge furniture and alluring views. They are perfect places for lazy evenings with a glass of wine and to watch the stars. Also, perfect to catch the last evening rays, or to find a lovely shady spot to read!You can take a relaxed short walk from the villa to a very small village with just a few stone houses. Ugljane is very rural and idyllic. Trilj, 5km away, has several traditional restaurants and Sinj town is only 20 minutes away. Its a great place with shades of green reflecting from the fertile Sinj fields, steel grey glows from the surrounding Kamesnica, Svilaja and Dinara mountains, chestnut hues of Sinj Alka horses as they break into a gallop and the turquoise lustre of the bewitching Cetina river. It has an amazing interactive museum and you can arrange to go horse riding. Re-enacted since 1716, Sinj Alka is one of the oldest knight tournaments in Europe taking place over 3 days at the beginning of August.  Within 30 minutes you can visit the famous town of Split with UNESCO heritage, the beautiful Omis and Trogir. In Split you should visit the gigantic ancient fortress, Diocletian’s palace and its basement halls and the Cathedral of Saint Domnius. Nowhere else in Split can you find the view at the top of the bell tower. It is incredible. Festival Zabavne, Split is a pop music festival that has been going since 1960.  Marjan is a beautifully maintained park, perfect for an afternoon walk or bike ride. The small and shiny gem of Omis is a historical town settled between the Adriatic Sea and the Cetina river. In the middle ages Omis was a well-known pirate town. The ideal place for rafting and canoeing is one of the prettiest rivers in Croatia, the Cetina river. This is so close to the villa and a must-do day out! If you are really brave, you could buckle up and get ready to fly like Batman through the lush forest surrounding the beautiful waters of the river and zipline there. There are 8 steel wires strained across the canyon which you will descend one by one with the help of a harness – guaranteed to get your blood pumping! Trogir, designated a UNESCO World Heritage site in 1997, is home to several fascinating historic attractions. The best is Cathedral of St Lawrence, the main part being completed in 1250!At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
