Villa Kreso Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Around 10km along the coast from Korčula town, Villa Kreso is a beautifully located holiday home for up to eight guests. With stunning views of the sea and mountainous countryside, this villa has been attractively styled and features its own pool and terrace.
The villa is located just a few steps away from the turquoise ocean, meaning there’s a gorgeous view from each room of the house. Outside, you have a terrace area with barbecue, and a private pool with an outdoor shower and plenty of room around it for seating and sun loungers. The pool provides step access and the incredible backdrop makes your morning swim even more special.
Directly accessible from the terrace, the main living area inside is cool and contemporary, with colourful art on the walls and large glass doors. There is a seating area with Smart TV, and an adjacent dining area with seating for eight.
Also provided are a PlayStation 4 and Wi-Fi. The equally inviting kitchen comes equipped with an electric oven, fridge freezer, dishwasher and coffee machine.
The main house contains three of the four bedrooms – two doubles and a twin – each with their own shower room. The fourth bedroom is found in the separate annexe to the house, along with another bathroom and a living area with billiards table.
Villa Kreso is only around 50m from the nearest restaurant, a great place to try out the local seafood specialities. You should also be sure to visit nearby Korčula town, one of the island’s highlights which is home to more excellent dining and shopping opportunities, as well as landmarks like St Mark’s Cathedral. You could also visit the nearby nature reserve of Kocje, ideal for an energetic hike, or go island hopping to beautiful Badija with its forests, pebble beaches and Franciscan monastery.
The island of Korčula is so picturesque it’s a wonder that it’s not overrun with visitors. The beautiful Old Town of Korčula sits pretty amongst olive groves, vineyards and pine forests on the island’s north-eastern side, looking out towards the Pelješac peninsula.
As one of the Adriatic’s more populous islands, Korčula is well-prepared for the visitors it receives, many of whom appreciate its laid-back vibe and natural beauty. The main town is a lovely place to wander, with street markets, pavement cafés and old buildings to admire. Look out for St Mark’s Cathedral and the imposing Revelin Tower which once marked the entrance to the walled city. The view, looking out over the harbour, is a charming one.
Around 15km from the town of Korčula, the lovely Pupnatska Luca beach is also worth a visit; aside from chilling out in the sun, its crystal blue waters are great for swimming and snorkelling. Elsewhere on the island, you can try white-water rafting in Blato, or diving in Vela Luka.
You may find some visitor attractions based around Marco Polo’s (possibly tenuous) connection to Korčula, as he is something of an unofficial mascot for the island. However, there are many more authentic experiences to be had on the island. With galleries, winery tours and many beautiful villages to see, avoid the tourist traps and keep it real. For an unforgettable taste of the true Korčula, head to Vela Luka and take a boat trip to Proizd island, just off the west coast – a naturally stunning spot you won’t want to miss.
