What is a country home villa in Croatia, and how does it differ from other villas?

A country home villa is a luxurious and spacious residence with a pool, typically situated in a non-urban setting. Unlike modern villas, country home villas usually have traditional architecture, such as stone walls or wooden beams.

Country home villas are popular for holidays among those who like to step away from the everyday buzz, relax in nature, and get the most out of the outdoor spaces. They’re also popular as wedding venues, for teambuildings, and other types of celebrations.

Where are the best regions in Croatia to stay in a country home villa?

You can find many country home villas in Croatia, from Dubrovnik in the South to the Istrian countryside in the North. We’ll share some of our guests' favourite destinations.

Country home villas near Dubrovnik

Dubrovnik Summer Residence

If you are visiting the Dubrovnik Riviera and looking for a property where you can completely relax away from the busy tourist centre while still enjoying all the beauties of Old Town Dubrovnik, we recommend renting a country home villa.

Apart from the villas on the mainland, you can also book a holiday home on Sipan Island near Dubrovnik, the largest island of the Elaphiti archipelago. It’s the ideal place for luxurious holidays with beautiful beaches, untouched nature, and delicious food.

Country home villas situated on islands in Central Dalmatia

If you are set on spending a vacation on one of Croatia's beautiful islands and wish to enjoy a more genuine experience, then we can recommend booking a country home villa.

For example, you can find a country home villa on Hvar Island. While Hvar Town is touristy and popular, even among celebrities and royal families, you can have a calm, authentic experience in a villa just a short drive away. The country home villa is great because it offers privacy (no neighbours), it’s suitable for large groups, and best of all, you can pick and eat fruits or vegetables on the property, and relax in the Mediterranean garden full of lavender, rosemary, olive, and other authentic herbs.

Country home villas on the Istrian peninsula

The Istrian peninsula has a beautiful countryside that’s full of private and luxurious country home villas set in quiet villages with vineyards and olive groves. They’re popular among guests who value their privacy, space, and peace.

By booking a country home villa in one of the hilltop towns in Istria, you get a great value for your money and get to explore local cuisine and authentic village life. The central location also lets you explore all other parts of Istria, both on the coast and inland.

Country home villas near Krka National Park

Villa Antoneta in Sibenik

Croatia is a country full of untouched natural beauty. Krka Waterfalls is one of the most popular national parks thanks to its unmatched beauty and the exceptional location in the Sibenik countryside.

You can book your villa holidays in a country home just a short drive away from the park, in Skradin or Vodice. By staying in this area, you get to explore the park and its surroundings, on luxurious private property with a pool and lots of outdoor activities.

What amenities and features should you expect in a country home villa in Croatia?

While all villas have some amenities in common, others are unique to country home villas.

When it comes to indoor spaces, you should expect traditional design and spacious, open-plan living and dining areas. Villas usually have fully equipped kitchens with a full set of appliances and utensils for cooking and baking, a large refrigerator to fit all groceries for your stay, and sometimes, you’ll have extras like a coffee machine. Often, each bedroom has its own en-suite bathroom for enhanced comfort and privacy.

Despite its traditional design, country home villas have modern technology: high-speed Wi-Fi, air-conditioning and heating, flat screen TVs with entertainment systems, solar panels, and more.

However, outdoor space and location usually set a country home villa apart from a regular villa. Since it’s located in the countryside, it’s typically situated on a large property with a garden, private terrace or patio with a lounge, outdoor dining area with a summer kitchen and barbecue, and a private swimming pool surrounded by beach chairs. Often, your children will also have a playground with toys.

Country home villas are not for those who like to stay in the city centre, surrounded by many people. You rent a country home villa to get away from the rush and relax in the countryside, surrounded by vineyards or olive groves. You also get stunning views of nature, distant towns, or the sea.

How expensive is a country home villa in Croatia?

Villa Pearl of Hvar

The price of your country home villa depends on quite a few factors: dates, location, the number of rooms, etc.

The starting price of our country home villas is usually from 200 to 600 euros per night. However, some luxurious country homes at premium destinations or with large capacity can cost around 1,000 euros per night. Bearing in mind its capacity, the price per person is sometimes more affordable than renting a luxury apartment in the city centre.

What are the top activities and experiences near country home villas in Croatia?

Staying at a country home villa brings you closer to experiencing activities that may not be as accessible in other types of accommodation.

Most often, the highlight of your stay will be activities spent in nature. You’ll probably be closer to the scenic forest trails, hilltops, and national parks, where you can go cycling, hiking, or walking. In Istria, truffle hunting tours are especially popular.

You’re also closer to calm bays and secluded coves with (almost) private beaches where you can go swimming and sunbathing.

Country home villas also often offer unique local food and wine experiences. For example, you can enjoy wine tastings and vineyards, have olive oil tastings, or pick fresh fruits and vegetables from the garden.
