Villa Octavia

Villa Details

OVERVIEW

Villa Octavia is a new beach front, modern, opulent Croatian holiday rental home on the world famous island of Korcula, which you can reach from Split or Dubrovnik. The villa is located five kilometres from the eponymous magical walled town of Korcula, an important historic part of the old Silk Road which is still reflected in Korcula's culture and art. Walk through the narrow cobbled streets studded with cafes, boutique shops and restaurants and you might arrive to a medieval square where men in traditional outfits dance the great ancient "Moreska" dance, rattling their sabres.

Villa Octavia is arranged on three floors and is a real Croatian beachside villa. It is very luxurious and stylish, with cool interiors, TVs and hairdryers in all bedrooms, top quality beds and bed linen which is changed twice a week. This elegant waterfront holiday home has its own swimming dock with private boat mooring and its own small beach with sunbeds. It is completely air-conditioned and offers a gym and a sauna. Apart from the grand, two-story height living room, the villa’s main feature is the spectacular infinity swimming pool with direct views over the sea. The villa in general has fabulous sea views and has large glass windows and terraces which provide great entertainment or relaxation in the sun. 

You will eat well in Korcula if you like simply grilled fresh fish or slow cooked herb-fed lamb. These go so well with the Korcula famous white wine called Posip, or the wonderful deep red Dingac. Wonderful sandy and pebbly beaches are great for lazy days or you can explore authentic fishing villages, churches and another lovely town called Vela Luka. Go surfing and kayaking, deep sea fishing, diving, or boat lazily along the pine scented bays, stopping for fabulous fresh sea food on route. Hop off to the wild Peljesac peninsula for more beaches and wineries (15 minutes ferry ride).
