Villa Ophaga Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
The very spacious Villa Ophaga lies around 15 minutes’ drive from the town of Omiš amidst beautifully mountainous scenery. A modern 4-bedroom villa, it is equipped with impressive features and has a 12m x 4m heated pool and a hot tub right outside.
Set over two floors, Villa Ophaga delivers for every member of the family. In addition to the magnificent pool, you have a gym and sauna, table tennis and children’s play area. The hot tub is a wonderful addition to the property too, with the natural beauty of its surroundings making the experience all the more special.
Inside, you have a large, open-plan space directly accessible from the terrace, where there are a covered dining area and barbecue. You can wander in from your sun lounger and enjoy the plush seating area complete with TV. There’s a smart dining area inside too, with seating for eight, and an adjacent kitchen in cool white. You have a breakfast bar, dishwasher, coffee maker and all the appliances you may need here.
On the first floor, you will find the gym which includes an exercise bike, cross-trainer and has an inspiring mountain view. This is also where the sauna cabin is located, for a post-workout treat. Three of the immaculate bedrooms are on the same floor – with twin, king and super-king beds respectively, they are impressively styled and each has an en suite bathroom, TV and air-conditioning. A couple of balconies with furniture make the most of the divine setting.
With a further king-size bedroom downstairs enjoying the same amenities, the villa provides a good option for those with reduced mobility, or those who want to be first to the pool in the morning. There is parking for three cars, and a fine range of places to drive to. Nearby Omiš is easy to reach and offers water-sports on the river, history and relaxed dining, while Croatia’s second city, Split, is only 25km west and packed with landmark sights.On the Dalmatian coast, around 25km east of Split, Omiš is a pleasing place to both relax and get active, giving you the setting to do both in some style. The town sits on the Cetina River, which has become a hub for high-adrenaline sporting activity. Many who visit the town are after the thrills the Cetina does so well – rafting, canyoning and zip-lining across the river are certainly great ways to see the area from all sorts of new angles.
Head into the Old Town and you can discover some of Omiš’ history, with impressive fortresses and churches to look out for. It can be quite a climb to reach some of them – the rugged cliffs which dominate the town make sure of that – but the views are spectacular. The Fortica and Mirabella fortresses, looking out over the ocean towards the neighbouring islands, are among those worth seeking out.
You can’t go far in Omiš without seeing something pirate-related, which adds a note of local history the children are sure to enjoy. In August, you may even come across a re-enactment of a previous pirate battle. The Pirate Nights are a popular attraction, telling the story of the pirates and providing plenty of entertainment.
The Festival of Dalmatian Klapas also brings traditional Croatian music to the streets in summer and is one of the country’s biggest cultural events each year. The rest of the time, Omiš lends itself to plenty of other outdoor activities – climbing the cliffs, diving and paragliding are all popular.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
