Villa Zdenka

The villa

Villa Zdenka is located in a small village called Kakma, near the coastline. It is a modern villa with a rustic charm, thanks to the beautiful stone walls that continue to the garden and wooden shutters framing each window. The villa has three floors and sleeps ten guests. It has everything you need to make this stay memorable.

Stepping into the villa on the ground floor, you enter a large, modern, open-plan lounge, diner and kitchen. In front of you is the sitting room, and double doors at the far end open to the spacious patio. On the other side of the room, the kitchen is tucked towards the front of the property and is fully equipped with all your cooking essentials.

Five spacious bedrooms with double beds and ensuite bathrooms are located on the first and second floors. The ensuites are finished with natural stone and a glass-panelled walk-in shower. All bedrooms have access to a private balcony. The master bedroom is on the top floor, with access to an expansive balcony that looks out over the patio below and the open countryside ahead.

Outside is where this villa shines. A heated pool with a waterfall fountain centres the patio, keeping everyone cool under the hot sun. There's plenty of sunbeds to relax on and soak up the sun. Spend the afternoon relaxing on one of two double sun beds on a large wooden deck. A sunken jacuzzi is in front of the beds, ready for you to soak up the bubbles under the stars.

A fully equipped outdoor kitchen, BBQ and dining area sit on the other side of the patio to enjoy alfresco dining while watching the sunset. Subtle evening lighting allows you to enjoy the villa no matter the time of day. You and your family will love watching a movie under the stars, on the outdoor cinema screen.

If this stay couldn't get any better, the villa also has a private bar and spa. The rustic wooden bar is great for making a cocktail or two. The indoor spa will leave you feeling relaxed and reborn with a second jacuzzi and a choice of Finnish or Turkish tiled sauna for you to use. The villa is gated, with private parking inside the fence for ultimate privacy.

Villa Zdenka lies in a quiet village in the Croatian countryside, under 10 kilometres from the nearest town, Biograd na Moru and the coastline. Biograd na Moru, also known as Biograd, is a town of terracotta rooftops along the northern Dalmatia coastline. Home to cafes, shops and restaurants, there is something for all the family to enjoy. There is a small convenience store located in Kakma.

Spend a day exploring the island Pasman, separated from the mainline by the Pasman channel. Take the ferry from Biograd to the town of Tkon, which can be taken via car or foot passenger. With an area of 60 kilometres, there is plenty to do. You can hire bicycles and choose between two main routes or a beach day; Duzica Beach is recommended for its good facilities, changing areas and local cafes.

If you're looking for natural beauty and adventure, head to Plitvice Lakes National Park, a landscape of 8km terraced lakes, tiered waterfalls and stunning cascades. Turquoise lakes are filled with wildlife, including water snakes, herons, deer, bears, and wolves in the higher, forested areas.
