Wake up to views of the sea and surrounding mountains at Villa Olja, a Croatian getaway you will not forget. A modern building, Villa Olja is a home away from home filled with contemporary features and everything you need for a comfortable stay, sleeping six guests.
Entering the villa on the ground floor, you step into a modern kitchen, dining table and generous living area with marble floors underfoot. The kitchen has all you need for an effortless stay, plus a family dining table, seating six guests on black velvet chairs. Enjoy family dinners together while you plan the adventures of the day. The lounge is centred around a corner sofa facing a flatscreen TV and spectacular views of the countryside and the sea beyond.
The first floor follows the modern glamour of the ground floor, featuring modern lighting, marble-floored ensuites and plenty of storage to unpack into. Two bedrooms have king-sized beds, while the third has twin beds, ideal for friends or children sharing. All bedrooms have access to a balcony, the perfect place to enjoy your morning coffee while watching the sunrise.
From the kitchen on the ground floor, you have access to an outdoor dining area seating six guests, shaded by the first-floor overhang. Cool off from the hot sun by swimming in the outdoor pool or rinse off using the outdoor shower. The pool has steps down into the water and a ledge so guests can sit and dip their legs in the cool water without being completely submerged.
Villa Olja is surrounded by rural countryside and an abundance of activities for the whole family to enjoy. Make your way to the mountains and explore the valley via bouldering, rafting, hiking or mountain biking. For those who want a taste of history, spend a day at Zadar, a bustling city filled with ancient architecture and local cuisine.
Located along the heart of the Croatia coastline, with spectacular views of the Velebit mountains and close to the city of Zadar, lies Villa Olja. Although not the highest, the Velebit Mountains are the biggest mountain range in Croatia, running parallel to the coastline. You’ll be surrounded by an undisturbed natural landscape of Croatia, enjoying views of the sea, mountains and greenery. Locally, the villa is only a ten-minute walk from the beach Rovanjska with access to the cooling Adriatic Sea.
A ten-minute drive east from the villa is Paklenica National Park, a UNESCO World Biosphere Reserve. Teaming with activities, there is so much to do in the national park, including bouldering, climbing, rafting, and mountain biking. Hiking is also a great way to see the limestone canyons filled with fauna, flora and native species.
A thirty-minute drive away is the captivating city of Zadar. Renowned for its beautiful beaches, history and creative architecture, Zadar is a great day out for the whole family to experience. The old town is filled with historic architecture stemming from the roman empire. Zadar is home to the Museum of Ancient Glass and one of the last glassblowers in the area. Enjoy a tour of the history of glass blowing in the area, then venture to the upper floor to see an in-house glass blower, transforming hot glass into souvenirs, vases and jugs.
Make your way to the seafront and experience the music of the sea. Located near the city’s old town, the sea organ is an architectural sound art carved into steps on the sea’s edge and includes 35 ‘organ’ pipes. Commissioned in 2005, the sea organ was created to join the locals to the Adriatic Sea.
Travelling further into Croatia’s main countryside, you’ll discover one of the UNESCO world heritage sites, Plitvice Lakes. Turquoise pools surrounded by waterfalls and greenery are certainly a wonder to see. Listen to the rush of water as you travel along one of many hiking trails weaving between the water and trees.
