Treat the family to this homely Croatian villa for a getaway to remember. Nestled between Zadar and Sibenik, exploring the local area is a breeze – although with a large swimming pool, inviting outdoor area, children’s play area, and home gym, you might not even want to leave. Gather around the patio dining area for hearty family breakfasts or around the cosy outdoor sofa for morning coffees. When you want some time alone, get lost in a good book beside the glittering pool, soaking up the sun, or head up to the sofa on the balcony. If you want to take solace from the mid-day sun, relax in the stylish living area, flick through the smart TV or play a game on the PS4. When the afternoon rolls around, the kids and grown-ups alike will love playing games together in the pool. When talk turns to food, fire up the barbecue for a feast of grilled local produce around the outdoor dining table. If cooking isn’t on the cards, head into Biograd na Moru for a seafood dinner along the waterfront.
