A delightful 4-bedroom property in Splitska on the island of Brač, Villa Cerenio offers superb views over the sea to the Croatian mainland. Perfectly positioned for visiting Split, this inviting villa has a spacious terrace and a 55 sq m private pool.

This villa’s peaceful location is just 150m from the beach and within a short walk of Splitska town and its beautiful Riva waterfront. Accommodating up to 10 guests, Villa Cerenio has all you could want for a relaxing island stay – alongside the heated outdoor pool, there’s a line of sun loungers, a dining area and a barbecue, as well as a hot tub and sauna. The upper balcony overlooking the pool area offers more seating to appreciate the stunning sea view.

The house is just as stylish, with views from the terrace and gardens from the large, open-plan living area. You have a lounge space with widescreen TV, PlayStation 4, and a dining area with seating for 10. A chic kitchen has an island, bar-style seating and all the appliances you could need, including a coffee machine, microwave and dishwasher. The villa is kept cool with air conditioning, comfy underfloor heating, and connected with Wi-Fi.

The four bedrooms all feature a king-size bed, TV and an elegant en suite bathroom, with most of them also enjoying access to the sea-view balcony terrace. Additional beds are available for two more guests if needed.

Just 500m away from local bars and restaurants, Villa Cerenio has excellent places to eat on its doorstep. It’s a 10-minute drive from Splitska into nearby Supetar, the island’s main port, from where you can cross to the mainland by ferry. There are regular crossings to Split, home to such sights as Diocletian’s Palace and a beautiful waterfront quarter.

There is plenty to see while on Brač, with the ever-popular beach of Zlatni Rat and the charming town of Bol around 35km away. You could also enjoy cruises to the other islands in the region – Šolta, Hvar, Vis, and Korčula are all much-loved destinations with spectacular scenery.

With the pleasant towns of Supetar and Bol as its main centres, the Croatian island of Brač is a much-loved destination. It’s easily accessible from the mainland – you can make the crossing from Split or Makarska – and from other islands such as Hvar, Korčula and the nearby Šolta.

On the island’s northern coast, Supetar may well be your arrival point. More understated than glamorous Bol in the south, it’s a pleasing place to wander the Old Town streets and dine outside in the sun. One notable local attraction is the Olive Oil Museum in Skrip, about 15 minutes drive from Supetar. This welcoming museum will tell you about the production process, and you can enjoy fine meals in its restaurant.

Bol and the stunning beach of Zlatni Rat are just under an hour’s drive away. Otherwise known as the ‘Golden Horn’, this stunning beach extends into the sea and offers one of Croatia’s fantastic photo opportunities if you can find a spot to view it from above. From the beach, it’s a short stroll into the town, which is Brač’s upscale visitor destination. As the island’s tourist centre, Bol offers excellent restaurants, nightclubs, water sports and plenty more aimed at guests. North of Bol, the peak of Vidova Gora is the highest in the Dalmatian islands and well worth a climb. The landscapes of pine woods, vineyards and pretty bays are a treat to view from the mountaintop.
