Brac Villa 1312

This is an impressive villa built of Brac stone (the same stone as the US White House).   The villa sleeps 12 people plus baby cot (with 6 bedrooms + 7 bathrooms). During  2016 the villa was fully refurbished to a very high standard complete with divine new beds, large French doors, stone floors, antique fire place, Juliette balconies, stone bathrooms with Phillip Starke white ware, new kitchen from Italy making it one of the most desirable luxury villas on the Dalmatian Coast.

Upon arrival at Split airport our Skipper and private boat can be waiting to take guests directly to the waterfront villa or just hire a car and drive to the ferry terminal in Split town, this is an easy trip and well sign posted.  From Split it is a 40 minute modern car ferry ride to Brac Island, dolphins can often be seen on this beautiful trip. Once on the island it is approximately a 30 minute drive to the villa.  It is a straight forward journey.

The villa is 5 minutes drive to the nearest fishing village of Sumartin

where you will find a bakery, supermarket and three restaurants and a number of cafe bars.  The coffee culture is very strong in Croatia. The large village of Selca is also five minutes away which has beautiful architecture, small shops and cafe bars as well as a few restaurants.  There are two new bikes available at the villa, perfect for getting to the villages.

Being right on the Adriatic Sea the villa lends itself to many activities such as water skiing, scuba diving, fishing and sailing, all of which can be arranged by the villa managers who are available for up to eight hours per day.  The villa has two brand new kayaks and two new bikes as well as a table tennis table

A half hour car ferry ride away will take you to the sophisticated town of

Makarska, there you will find divine architecture and shops as well as fine restaurants.

When you arrive at Villa Rosemarine there is a beautiful garden with pines,

palms, bougainvillea, rosemary and geraniums.  There is also an organic vegetable patch for the use of the guests.

Normally, we rent our villa for a 7-day period (a week), and change-over day is Saturday. However, because of some flight operator schedules into Split, we have to consider alternative change-over days. We try to keep all stays Saturday-to-Saturday.
