VILLA HERITAGE: Ultimate Croatian Retreat with Pool and Breathtaking Sea Views

100 year old recently renovated villa with pool with stunning panoramic views.
The villa was chosen by British 'Sunday Times' to be amongst 100 most beautiful in Europe. Published in 'Design & Arhitecture'. The Villa Jan which dates from the 1890s, is an ideal location that offers magnificent view of the sea and amazing sunsets. It is located inside the old upper Podgora village but at the same time it is totally secluded, thus guaranteeing absolute privacy to its visitors. This Villa has been designed aiming to offer the ideal accommodation solution to people who set high standards with respect to their vacations, people who wish to combine relaxation at an idyllic spot with adventure as well as comfort with luxury. It is definitely not for those who seek to enjoy the intensity of night life, to mingle in the noisy swarm of tourists and to visit luxurious shops, and night clubs . This Villa will take you on a journey to discover the unspoiled Dalmatian landscape, to discover enchanting secluded beaches, to get to know its people and to charge your batteries and to find relaxation and serenity in nature The architects used dominant design elements such as-stone, wood and iron, strong and dynamic materials that have given a distinctive aspect and character to the building allowing for an exceptional architectural design,-- the light that gives an outdoor aspect inside the house through spectacular openings and offers magnificent view of the pool, the garden and the sea; the sound of the water creates a sensation of serenity and relaxation by itself; at the same time, it offers continuity in the view of the sea and the horizon.-- Together with the terrace with stunning view of islands Bra, Hvar and Pelješac; the veranda, the patio and the pool, the Villa has something from the aura of a Roman mansion that stands still in absolute harmony. Behind the property, is the 8m x 3m swimming pool with roman steps,shower and sunbeds; at one end is wooden decking with outdoor chairs and steps that go up to an upper terrace with panoramic views, at the other end is another terrace with a barbecue plus dining table and chairs for outdoor dining in the most idyllic
