About Croatia

Croatia is one of the sunniest destinations that Europe has to offer, with a seemingly endless coastline and an exceptionally mild Mediterranean climate. Scattered with picturesque villages, rugged mountains and fabulous seaside resorts, Croatia is the ultimate choice for those in search of summer holidays which are incredibly affordable, thoroughly enjoyable and completely entertaining.

You will find a large selection of Croatia accommodation to choose for your next holiday to this popular destination, we have apartments in Croatia, houses, holiday villas and other great holiday rentals in Croatia for you to select from.

Although the main attraction for most families, couples and holidaymakers who have booked holiday rentals in Croatia is undoubtedly the Adriatic coast, the country also has many more rewards to offer, particularly to those intent on experiencing the local way of life firsthand in the inland areas and on the abundance of lush green islands.

One of the best places to visit when travelling to Croatia is the ancient city of Dubrovnik, which is to be found in the far South of the country. Here you will discover an awe-inspiring selection of palaces, historic monuments, important castles, old churches and large cathedrals alongside some of the finest modern hotels ever to have been built. There are also plenty of cafes, bars and boutiques which make for one of the most alluring tourist destinations imaginable.

Another popular Croatian attraction is the local cuisine which includes homemade broths, hand-baked breads and the most succulently delicious fresh fish and seafood dishes you'll have tasted anywhere. Italian food is also immensely popular amongst the locals with a wonderful choice of fresh pizza and pasta dishes available practically everywhere.

Additional activities enjoyed by those booking holiday villas in Croatia include fishing, hiking, skiing, scuba diving and rock climbing. Also, you will find that there are some excellent Croatian spa resorts on offer, most notably in Delnice and Platak.

Private Holiday Villas on the Croatian Islands

Just off the coastline of Croatia, there are over 1,000 islands. Some of these islands are small and uninhabited, while others are larger and full of inhabitants that enjoy a vibrant culture and a laidback, island lifestyle. Visitors to Croatia can easily enjoy an island-hopping holiday, regardless of whether they choose island accommodations or holiday villas on the mainland, as the most popular islands are connected by ferries that provide easy, convenient transport for travelers. Each of Croatia’s main islands is well-known for a particular characteristic or export, making each an excellent option to add to your itinerary. For example, the Island of Pag is best known for its sheep’s milk cheese and delicate lace, Hvar is known for its fields of herbs and vineyards, and particularly for its lavender oil, and Rab is famous for its medieval buildings still standing in Rab Town and for being one of the greenest islands in the Adriatic.

Travelers who wish to enjoy the islands of Croatia to their fullest often opt for private holiday villas in Croatia in breathtaking areas, such as Baska, Zizanj, Mali, Milna, Malinkska, Omislj, Zirje, Supetar and Donji Humac, with Hvar Town on the Island of Hvar and Pasman being two of the most popular tourist destinations. Hvar is the fourth largest island and is known for having an abundance of sunny days each year. Visitors enjoy exploring the vineyards, purchasing products made from local herbs and snapping photographs of the many historic homes and buildings that line the streets of Hvar Town. For those who are interested in history, Hvar Town is also home to one of Europe’s oldest surviving theatres, which was first opened in 1612 and can still be enjoyed today.

Pasman is part of the Zadar archipelago and is separated from the mainland by the Strait of Zadar. Tourism is one of the main economic forces on Pasman, along with fishing, raising livestock and cultivating olives and vineyards. This blend of occupations allows travelers to enjoy a beautiful, pastoral setting for their Croatia holiday, particularly those who opt for private holiday accommodations on the island. Visitors who choose holiday villas in Croatia on the Island of Pasman enjoy easy access to the mainland or other islands via ferries, and have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in private holiday lodgings that are well-equipped with full kitchens and all of the comforts you would expect in your own home. This is particularly appealing to families traveling with children, groups of friends or couples who appreciate the comfort and luxury of private accommodations.

Beautiful, Historic Dalmatia Croatia
The Dalmatia region of Croatia is an area that is both culturally and geographically diverse. Situated on the Adriatic Sea, Dalmatia has miles of picturesque coastlines that enjoy a pleasant Mediterranean climate throughout the year, as well as the inland Dinaric Alps mountain ranges that are snow-capped and cold in the winter, and hot and dry during the summer months. Travelers that enjoy the outdoors can explore Dalmatia’s islands and islets, raft or canoe down some of the region’s largest rivers, including the Cetina, Neretva, Zrmanja and Krka, or lounge on pristine beaches that are gently caressed by the crystal clear waters of the Adriatic. For those who prefer visiting historical sites, Dalmatia’s rich history has provided many options for current tourists to enjoy, including the Pjaca town square in Split and the ancient Roman forum in Zadar.

Self-catering apartments in Croatia are widely available, allowing visitors to enjoy all that Dalmatia has to offer, while also enjoying all of the conveniences and comforts of home. There are several popular resort towns from which to choose when selecting a destination for your Croatia holiday, including the picturesque seaside towns of Bol, Zadar, Trogir, Omis, or the popular destination of Hvar Town on the Island of Hvar. Apartments in Croatia, which are available in each of these popular towns, come with fully-equipped kitchens, comfortable décor and a level of privacy that is not available in impersonal hotels. Lovely beaches, quaint shops and cafés, pubs and restaurants, and cultural and historical sites are within close proximity to these private holiday accommodations, allowing travelers to take in the beauty and culture of Dalmatia with the luxury of returning to relaxing, comfortable private lodgings each night.

From their private apartments in Croatia, travelers can visit ancient ruins, attend festivals, sightsee in some of Croatia’s most beautiful towns or partake in a variety of outdoor activities, including climbing, hiking, cycling, fishing, rafting and diving. In Hvar Town, travelers can visit one of Europe’s oldest surviving theatres, which was opened in 1612, explore the historic port or walk amongst buildings and homes erected in the 15th, 16th and 17th centuries. There are several private holiday homes available for rent in this historically and culturally important trade center, each of which allows visitors to live like a local and experience the luxury of private accommodation during their Dalmatia travels.

Istria Croatia
Life and culture in today’s Istria region of Croatia has been influenced by a long history of the land changing hands numerous times. This has created a diverse culture that cannot easily be identified by simply pointing out a few ethnicities that happen to reside in the region. Istria has been conquered and occupied by various people throughout its history, and has even been divvied up between different countries in various ways throughout the years. While this type of tumultuous past can wreak havoc in some regions of the world, in Istria this has resulted in a delightful blend of cultures that is just one of the many reasons so many travelers flock there each year.

Istria is nestled between the Bay of Kvarner and the Gulf of Trieste, and is the largest peninsula in the Adriatic Sea. It is well-known for crystal clear waters that lap against pristine beaches, its many vineyards and olive trees, cultural festivities through the year, fabulous seafood and old-world fishing villages that have blossomed into popular tourist destinations. With many natural, cultural and historical attractions in close proximity, it is easy for travelers to spend a day diving, visiting castle remains, indulging in exceptional dining opportunities and exploring archeological sites in ancient villages before returning to the comfort of their Croatia accommodations for the night.

The towns of Umag, Marcana, Koromacno, Medulin, Tinjan, Motovun and Pula are among the most popular tourist destinations in Istria, and each is surrounded by villages that offer a more rural experience for those who prefer Croatia accommodations that are a bit more in the country, but still close enough to town to enjoy a day at a summer festival or expanded shopping and dining options. Pula is the oldest and largest city in Istria and is a former Roman village that is well-known for its amphitheatre constructed in the first century and its old-world city centre. There are several villages close to Pula, offering a number of options for Croatia accommodations that are secluded and private, but still in close proximity to Pula’s cafés, nightclubs, casinos, restaurants, sporting facilities and beaches.

Opting for self-catering holiday homes in Croatia allows travelers to live like a local during their time in Istra, while enjoying all of the luxuries and conveniences of home. Private holiday homes offer fully-equipped kitchens, onsite laundry facilities, comfortable décor, and much more privacy and luxury than offered by resort town hotels.
