Croatia destinations

We have a wide and ever-expanding selection of holiday villas in Dubrovnik, Split, Istria and the islands, including villas on Brac Island. Dubrovnik is enchanting with so much history and fascinating monuments to explore. Some of our villa properties in this area enjoy views of the city surrounded by its medieval stone walls, whilst other villas are scattered along the tranquil Adriatic coastline and magnificent countryside. Split is the perfect place to experience Dalmatian life and the ideal launchpad for visiting the magical islands that Croatia is renowned for. Istria is perhaps less well known with a more laid-back vibe and a real emphasis on delicious food and good wines. There is so much natural beauty here with picturesque landscapes and terrific beaches – clients often return year after year.

We have an abundance of villas to suit every budget. Family friendly villas, countryside retreats, stunning beach front properties and honeymoon hideaways – we really do have something for everyone! We also have limited mobility villas in Croatia.

Useful Information When Visiting Croatia

When to visit Croatia

July and August are the hottest times of the year with temperatures in the 30’s. There is always plenty going on during these months, especially along the Dalmatian Coast. There is so much to explore in Croatia and this is often easier outside of the summer months when the temperatures are warm and comfortable. May to June can be around 20-25 degrees Celsius with little rain and pleasant sunny days, perfect for venturing out and discovering new places. The same can be said for September and October when the sea temperature is particularly warm and the crowds have dispersed. Istria is particularly lovely in Autumn when the harvest takes place, truffles are foraged and new wines are released.

The Capital 

The capital of Croatia is Zagreb.  It is a beguiling city with the heart of a small town and a laid back vibe; not at all what you would expect from a capital city that is home to a quarter of the total population of Croatia. Café culture is vibrant here and there is much to explore with museums, art galleries, theatres, churches, eateries, and markets galore. It is not a typical, tourist destination and therefore seems very easy to slip into real Croatian life.
