OVERVIEW

This spectacular new villa has been built to a modern design to provide a light and airy environment with extensive sea views from most rooms and easy access to the garden, pool and terraces. The villa is located right on the coast in a small sheltered bay on the south west side of the island. It is just a 10 metre walk to the beach. The Villa is eleven kilometres from Vela Luka, an attractive small town set in the deep bay at the western end of the island of Korcula.

Korcula itself is one of the most beautiful Croatian islands. Korcula was voted among the top ten best islands in the world in the 2009 Conde Nast Traveller magazine. The island is nearly 50 kilometres long but less than 8 kilometres wide at its widest point. It has numerous bays and beaches and the Adriatic sea is crystal clear and unpolluted. The perfectly preserved medieval town of Korcula is claimed to be the birth place of Marco Polo and is one of the most notable historic towns in Croatia and a popular tourist destination. Surrounded by ancient walls and crisscrossed by narrow cobbled streets and alleyways the elegant Venetian style houses surround small squares and face out directly over the sea.

Accommodation

The villa has seven double bedrooms. Five of the double bedrooms are very spacious, with four of them having views to the pool terrace and sea, and the fifth having french windows opening on to the side terrace. The remaining double bedrooms are smaller and to the rear of the property.

First floor

The principal living and dining area is on the first floor with large glass windows providing uninterrupted views over the Adriatic. The dining area to the front is under a glass roof and has direct access to a balcony and a spectacular view. The living area has a sofa and chairs, widescreen TV, DVD, sound system and WiFi. Also on the first floor are three large bedrooms with super king-size double beds, walk-in wardrobes, televisions and ensuite bathrooms (all have bathtubs with two having separate showers). A further two bedrooms share a shower room.

Ground Floor

The ground floor is designed as a separate apartment with its own entrance from the side of the house. This entrance leads directly into a large room which overlooks the pool and contains a sitting area, a large double bed and a cloakroom. This leads on to a second large double bedroom, which has direct access to the pool terrace and a large ensuite bathroom with corner bath and separate shower. To the rear of the apartment is the kitchen and utility area serving the whole house. The kitchen is located so it can be used by a professional chef without intruding on the guests. There is also a separate shower room.

Outside

The total estate is 10000 square metres providing privacy and seclusion around the villa. The outdoor dining area is located on an upper terrace which overlooks the pool and views of the sea. The sun terrace around the pool is equipped with ten sun loungers and comfortable rattan seating. The large 100 square metre swimming pool has a maximum depth of 2.6 metres. From the pool area and the upper terrace, there is a footpath through the garden directly to the beach. There is ample car parking space and garaging for at least four cars.

Korcula Island

Korcula island is midway between Split and Dubrovnik and can be reached from either airport although travelling via Dubrovnik offers greater flexibility due to frequency of ferry crossings.

If you fly to Split there will be several options open to you. All ferry departures are from Split ferry port (25 minutes from the airport but allow longer in busy periods). The only car ferry crossing is with Jadrolinja to Vela Luka, the town at the west end of the island of Korcula. The crossing takes two hours 45 minutes and in peak season there are two departures a day, mid-morning and late afternoon.  The cost for a car and a familyu of four with children over 12 years will be around €95 ech way. Jadrolinja also offers a daily fast catamaran service to Vela Luka for foot passengers that departs at 15.00 every day with a crossing time (via Hvar) of 2 hours 20 minutes. A ticket on the fast catamaran will be around €8 per head each way. Check timetables and prices on the Jadrolinija website or on the Korcula Info website. If there are severe storms check for delays or cancellations.

 

Croatian Villa Holidays can arrange car hire from Split airport or for pick up on Korcula island if you arrive by passenger ferry.

 

From Split the Kapetan Luka ferry company provide a daily catamaran foot passenger service departing Split each morning at 10.00am (but check times on the website) and arriving Korcula Town at the east end of the island, stopping at Hvar en-route, at 12.30pm. Kapetan Luka also provide catamaran foot passenger services  departing Split every day in the late afternoon (line 9608) and stopping at Prigradica (2 hours from Split) on the north coast of Korcula island before continuing to Korcula Town (two hours 45 minutes from Split) and a daily service departing early morning from Split and arriving in Korcula town after 2 hours and 50 minutes with stops on Brac island and at Makarska on the mainland along the way. 

 

If you choose to drive from Split to Korcula you can drive down the coast towards Dubrovnik before taking the car ferry crossing from Ploce over to Trpanj on the Peljesac peninsula, followed by a short drive across the peninsula to Orebic from where you can take the car ferry over to Korcula (Domnice). See below for details. The crossing from Ploce is 60 minutes and there are seven crossings a day in peak season. Unless the ferry times work well for you it may be quicker to drive further down the mainland coast and then turn off to drive up the length of the Peljesac peninsula to Orebic. Either way the journey from Split airport to Orebic will take over three hours.  



Flying to Dubrovnik Airport offers the greatest flexibility and is probably the best solution if you are staying near Korcula town at the east end of the island. From Dubrovnik airport it is a two hour scenic drive up the coast and along the length of the Peljesac peninsula to Orebic from where there is a 15 minute ferry crossing; either by foot passenger only ferry which docks right at the entrance to Korcula old town, or by car ferry which docks at Domnice  which is 5 minutes drive from Korcula town. The car ferry runs every 60 to 90 minutes in the summer season with the first crossing at 05.30am and the last at around midnight. The foot passenger ferry runs non stop from 9am to 5.30pm during the summer. 

 

There is foot passenger only fast catamaran ferry that runs daily from Dubrovnik to Korcula town.  The service is provided by Kapetan Luka with departure from departure Dubrovnik (Port of Gruz). One route is via Pomena on Mljet and the other via Sobra on Mljet. They both depart at either 16.00 or 16.30 depending on the season. Journey time is just under two hours and the cost of a ticket around €19.  

 

We can quote for car hire from Dubrovnik centre or airport or for pick up in Korcula town. 

Split Airport

Split Airport is located to the west of Split close to the town of Trogir. It is 25 minutes drive from the airport to the ferry port in Split although you should allow longer in mid summer.

Dubrovnik Airport

Dubrovnik Airport is located near the town of Cavtat 19km to the south of Dubrovnik. There are direct flights to Dubrovnik from most European countries and from Philadelphia in the USA.

 

There are bus and taxi services into Dubrovnik centre. A taxi transfer can be expected to cost around 35 to 40 euro one way depending on the time of day and the season and a minibus around 50-60 euros.   A shuttle bus service from the airport to Dubrovnik is 7.5 euro per person each way. 

 

Croatian Villa Holidays can arrange taxi transfers directly to your villa.
