The space

Unwind in style at this magical villa that is pure luxury in the wilderness. Located on the slopes of the Biokovo Mountain in the Croatian coastal countryside, this beautiful, newly renovated stone villa with private pool is the perfect quiet getaway. The villa is located in the Old Zaostrog village that was completely abandoned in 1962, when following a massive earthquake everybody moved approximately 2 km to the south to establish a new Zaostrog at the coastline. In 2014 restoration of the old village Zaostrog was initiated. The house interiors are refurbished in a luxurious modern style, but the original exterior of traditionally build stone houses is being preserved.

Vila Jatica is one of the newly renovated houses. It is a combination of traditional Dalmatian architecture and modern interior design. With one gorgeous double bedroom, two single bedrooms (each with one extra bed) and a sofa-bed in the living room, this villa is perfect for couple, families, or groups of friends looking to get a well-deserved break. The stylish, contemporary kitchen has all you need if you wish to stay in to eat. An additional outside kitchen with barbeque and stone table that can seat 12 people, is an ideal place to relax with friends when summer heat is too strong. You can make your own barbeque with meat or fish delivered from local shops and marinated with spice herbs from your own garden next to the outside kitchen. The villa also has a tavern with a table for 8 people, little kitchenette with a large fridge with ice maker, and a dish washing machine. A beautiful outdoor area with a private pool, a sundeck area, and a lounge area with a open fireplace table are just waiting for you to arrive.

There is so much more that we could say, but why not leave the worries and concerns of life behind .and come to reveal it yourself. Just come and relax in the beautiful wilderness of old Zaostrog and comfort and luxury of Vila Jatica.
