This fabulous villa, known as Jasmine House, is a beautiful old stone building, in the Venetian style. It has everything you could want for a luxury holiday in the sun.
The gorgeous property has been stylishly renovated by its English owners to retain as much of the Venetian character as possible, while providing some of the most luxurious and comfortable accommodation available in the whole of Croatia. The villa has exquisite furnishings and fittings, plus free wifi, so you can experience a holiday of five-star standard.
It is located in a quiet village just a few steps above a pretty, bustling quayside with its shops and restaurants, on the charming island of Vis.
The island was recently chosen for the filming of "Mamma Mia 2 - Here we Go Again" with Meryl Streep, Colin Firth and Pierce Brosnan. Our house was selected to accommodate one of the most important VIP's involved in the film (we've had to sign an NDA so we can't reveal who). But we can assure you that if you book the house you will be following in the footsteps of Hollywood.
The property occupies the prime position on the bay, so it has wonderful views over the bay of Vis which is a picture postcard setting. There is a beautiful monastery on a promontory at the far side, a tiny island in the middle of the bay, and of course the turquoise Adriatic sea. You can watch the yachts and fishing boats come and go, and enjoy the evening sun as it sets across the bay. Vis is blessed with some stunning sunsets and you will have the best position to enjoy them.
If you want to see more about the house and the island we have a film on our own w/site which you can find by looking for villapoolcroatia.
The great advantage of our location in Kut is that you don't need a car the whole time. You can walk to the quayside in a few minutes where there are shops, grocery stores, bakerys, bars and restaurants. Your evenings can be much more relaxing as you stroll around the bay deciding on your restaurant for the evening. Or you can "eat in" enjoying the balmy night air on our middle terrace with atmospheric lighting over the marble dining table.
The island of Vis would suit people who want a completely different holiday, dislike commercialisation, and enjoy really good food and wine. They may also have an interest in history (lots of naval history), sailing, diving (Greek, Roman and 16c/17c/18c wrecks), vineyards, ecology (said to be the only totally organic island in the world) and incredible ice-cream.
The island is one of the few genuinely unspoilt islands in the Mediterranean - no high-rise hotels or villa parks here - yet it has a sophisticated Dalmatian culture and excellent food.
There are three main villages on the island - Vis 'Town' and Kut are on either side a a fabulous C-shaped bay on the north-eastern coast, while Komiza, a tiny fishing village is on the far west side of the island. The mountainous interior is scenic, well worth visiting. There are great beaches near to all the 3 main villages, and a few smaller ones down the east and south coast of the island, near to Stoncica, Milna and Rukavac. There are both pebble and sand beaches on Vis.
Please be aware that Vis is a hilly island and both Vis Town, Kut and Komiza have several sets of stone steps, usually on the lanes leading down to the quayside or towards the beaches. This holiday is not suitable for anyone with walking difficulties.
This listing offers the whole property (villa and apartment) so you will have a large villa with 4 bedrooms plus quality double sofabed in the second sitting room. (There is a separate listing for the villa with just three bedrooms).
Outside you will have all three garden terraces, which are filled with bougainvillea and pelargoniums. Everywhere has wonderful views.
The top terrace has the pool, plenty of sunbeds, and an evening drinks area where you can watch the sunset. The medium pool is 5 ft deep all round, and has entrance steps.
The mid terrace has a huge stone table for shady meals, and a relaxing area with two lounger chairs, facing the bay, ideal for those romantic moments as the sun goes down.
The lower terrace has another set of table and chairs, plus sunbeds, and a pretty pergola of bougainvillea....and more lovely views.
