You’ll find this villa in Zaton, a charming fishing village on Croatia’s Dalmatian Coast. Inside the home, it’s modern and well-considered with an open-plan living space for entertaining your loved ones and three quiet bedrooms that guarantee sweet dreams night after night. When you’re not kicking back on the sofa with a good book, you’ll be out on the terrace, soaking up the sunshine before bobbing about in the private pool. At lunchtime, fire up the brick barbecue and treat your brood to a grilled feast. After the plates are cleared and the little ones have let off some steam in the play area, head over to Štikovica Beach or take the short drive into Dubrovnik for its atmospheric Old Town, Renaissance Sponza Palace and pedestrianised Stradun.
