It is a perfect place to go and get away from it all. An ideal spot to relax and unwind.

Speaking of luxurious properties, this wonderful villa has to top the list. Located 10km from Split, Slatine is a charming seaside town that allows easy access to the city but is far enough off the regular beaten tourist track for peace and relaxation.
The villa is positioned in a quiet, sunny position, just 20m from the beach, it boasts a lovely groomed garden, a swimming pool, panoramic views over the sea and elegant and plush interiors. A truly incredible place to lay out, enjoy the scenery, sip on some wine and spend your days with choosing between sea and pool as your most difficult choice...
