Villa Vilhelms Croatia
Holiday Home Rental Description
Villa Vilhems is a beautiful, enormous villa sleeping up to 12 guests on the wonderful Korcula Island. Situated in Lumbarda, well known for its lovely beaches and fabulous vineyards, it is a fantastic destination for a large family or group of friends.
The outdoor space is exceptional with stunning, panoramic views. The pool is so lovely with many sun loungers, cushioned benches and beautiful, lush plants and trees surrounding it. The raised grassy areas have additional sun loungers so you can always find the ideal spot in this amazing paradise. The jacuzzi is a delight. Imagine looking out to the turquoise waters with a glass of champagne and bubbles all around – what a perfect start to your holiday! It is so relaxing and peaceful. The huge, brick-built barbecue and outdoor kitchen are wonderful for alfresco meals on the two tables on the undercover dining terrace. If anything the garden is even more spectacular by night with its mood lighting and the dazzling stars.
Villa Vilhelms would really suit an extended family or a group of friends that would appreciate a little space of their own from time to time, though come together in the glorious garden and terrace.
Downstairs there are two living rooms, two kitchens, one bedroom and two bathrooms. Everything is so spacious and light. On the first floor, there is another kitchen, five bedrooms and four bathrooms. The décor and furniture is a mix of traditional and modern, all very well maintained and comfortable. There is a lovely balcony that wraps around the villa. How lovely to sit on the comfy furniture there for your morning cup of coffee and admire the stunning islands and sea in front of you. There are sun loungers on the balcony too so you might want to sneak off there for a quiet read of that holiday book!
Lumbarda is a charming village on the stunning Korkula Island. Korcula is 20 miles long and rather narrow. It is known for its dense forest, and the ancient Greeks called it ‘Black Korcula’ for this reason. Evergreen holm oak and prickly maquis are punctuated with majestic cypress spears. Surrounded by vineyards and olive groves, the island’s hillside-hugging villages are well worth a visit. At the bottom of the hill from the villa is the local pizzeria. The quaint little town and supermarket are super close, and you can buy fresh fish from the harbour if you get up early enough. How delicious for your barbecue! There is a lovely beach close by with a beach bar, massage and sea trampolines that you can walk to. The atmospheric, Medieval Korcula Town is known as a mini-Dubrovnik with its rustic charm, palm-lined streets and ancient surrounding walls. It is incredibly picturesque, so make sure you have your cameras ready! The centrepiece is the bell tower of St Mark’s Cathedral standing guard over the narrow Peljesac Channel. The cathedral took three centuries to build and features Gothic, Romanesque and Baroque styles. The narrow alleys and squares are full of brilliant restaurants and unique boutiques. Heading from Lumbarda to Korcula Town is St Anthony’s Hill. An alley lined with cypress trees leads to a 102-step stairway that scales the hill. At the top, there is a small chapel. The views of the islets and Orebic shore are wonderful. There are some fantastic beaches, including Lumbarda, Pupnat, Bilin Zal and Bacva beach. Be warned though, the steep, narrow access road to Bacva is not for the faint-hearted. Some tourists decide to arrive by boat.At Excellence Luxury Villas we pride ourselves on going that little bit further for our guests.
