When to rent a villa in Selca

When it comes to planning a villa holiday in Selca, Croatia, the timing is everything. The best time to visit Selca is during the spring and autumn seasons, from April to June or September to October. These periods offer pleasant weather with warm temperatures ranging from 18-25°C (64-77°F), making them ideal for outdoor activities like swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the surrounding countryside. The crowds are smaller compared to the peak summer months, and prices for villas tend to be lower.

If you're looking for a more relaxed atmosphere and don't mind cooler temperatures, consider visiting Selca during the winter months (December to February). While it's not the best time for beach activities, the area is still lovely and peaceful, with plenty of opportunities for hiking, cycling, or simply enjoying a warm coffee by the fireplace in your villa. Additionally, if you're interested in attending local festivals and events, such as the Selca Summer Festival (August) or the Baska Jazz Festival (September), plan your trip accordingly to coincide with these celebrations.

Where to go in Selca

For a villa holiday in Selca, consider staying in the village itself or one of its surrounding areas, such as Donja Vinica, Sveti Lovreč, or Žrnovo. These charming villages offer a tranquil and authentic Croatian experience, with narrow streets, old stone houses, and breathtaking views of the surrounding hills and sea. Take a leisurely walk through the villages to explore their shops, cafes, and restaurants, and enjoy the warm welcome from the locals.

Alternatively, if you're looking for something more lively, head to the town of Baska, which is just a short drive away. Here you'll find a wider range of amenities, including restaurants, bars, and shops, as well as beautiful beaches and scenic coastal walks. The prices in Baska are generally slightly higher than those in Selca, but it's still an affordable option for a villa holiday. No matter where you choose to stay, be sure to explore the surrounding countryside, which is dotted with tiny villages, ancient ruins, and stunning natural beauty just waiting to be discovered.
