Villa Martelina, Brac Island

Did you know that Splitska was the port used for loading the stone of Brac and shipping it to Split town, for building the Palace of Diocletian? Nowadays it's a small village of home-made food and autentic island feel that will surely capture your heart. There are plenty of spots to soak up the sea views and extraordinary sunsets.

Villa Martelina, surrounded by Mediterranean flora and lovely sea views, is a villa ideal for a family of six or a group of eight. You will love the garden in its white and green colour palette. This residence also has many other features that we are drawn to: smart use of wood and other natural materials, unpretentious and minimalist forms and colours. The owner managed to design a villa that combines the traditional and the contemporary style. The best time to visit this region is from June to September when the weather is absolutely perfect

The four bedroom villa offers a sense of tranquility with its indoor and outdoor spaces spread over two levels. Public/family area with living, kitchen and dining rooms lined up on the lower floor are overlooking the huge patio, the gorgeous pool (32 sqm) and the view beyond.

More uninterrupted views of the Dalmatian coast are available from three bedrooms with en suite bathrooms on the upper level. Two bedrooms have balconies and there is also an outdoor Jacuzzi – ideal place to just shut down your gadgets and enjoy it. Villa has an adjoining apartman/suite on the lower level ( separate entrance) with one bedroom, bathroom and a kitchen. This can be ideally used by those seeking extra privacy or your staff.

For preparing simple but delicious food you have a BBQ area. With island-grown fruit and veggies plus fresh-caught fish, any diet can be easily accommodated.

If you need a bit of inspiration and change of scene, this villa is one of those places where you feel you can really breathe freely. If it's a quiet beach vacation you're after, look no further. Tranquility still reigns at pristine Splitska bay and there's not much to do, and we like it that way.
