Villa Jelavic

Villa Jelavic details

Sea views, seclusion and a smart interior sum up this Croatian retreat. A traditional, red-tiled building, it’s so near the sea you can almost touch it. In fact, it’s just steps to a bathing platform. The best beaches belong to this side of the island and there’s a small pebble beach at the end of the road. And there’s nothing surrounding the property to spoil the scenery – it’s set on a steep green hillside so you won’t be disturbed. You’re not miles from anywhere, though. Take the ten-minute stroll to the sleepy harbour town of Trpanj and you’ll find seafood restaurants along the shore. You can also catch the ferry to Ploãe from here and then hop on another to Medugorje or Mostar in Bosnia-Hercegovina.

Most of the time, though, you’ll probably want to stay put and enjoy the setting. When you’re not cooling off in the sea, the terrace makes a lovely spot to unwind. It runs the length of the property, so there’s plenty of space. Even inside, the Mediterranean-style first-floor apartment is designed to make the most of the views. The double and one of the twin bedrooms have doors opening onto the terrace and the other twin and the open-plan living-come-dining room have lovely views from their windows. Plus, you’ve got all the home comforts like satellite TV and a kitchen with a washing machine and coffee maker.
