Villa St Elias

Description:
Villa St. Elias is a beautiful modern villa with spectacular sea and mountain views, situated in a peaceful location a few minutes walk from the harbourside town of Orebic, with its sandy beaches, shops and restaurants.

Only 90 minutes from Dubrovnik in Southern Croatia our detached villa offers 5 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, kitchen, 3 balconies, a large terrace and private garden. The villa is set out over 3 floors and can comfortably accommodate up to 10 people with car parking provided for up to 4 cars.

The villa is situated at the base of Mount St. Elias, and offers spectacular panoramic views across the sparkling Adriatic sea with the island of Korcula visible in the distance and has the stunning backdrop of the mountain to the rear of the villa.

The bedrooms have access to one of the balconies and the living room leads to a large terrace, perfect for starting the day with an al fresco breakfast or for watching the sunset while enjoying a glass of the locally produced Peljesac wine.

The villa also has a barbecue area and large garden planted with a variety of fruit trees and is surrounded by unspoilt lush Mediterranean countryside.

It's only a 10 minute stroll to the lovely harbourside town of Orebic on the Peljesac peninsula, which has a variety of shops, cafés and restaurants and a further 5 minutes to the sandy beaches, which have been declared some of the best in Croatia.

We can help with all aspects of planning your holiday to Croatia including arranging flights, ferries, car hire, sports activities and sightseeing as well as advising on other matters that may help you organise and enjoy your holiday. Although it is preferable to hire a car during your stay this isn’t absolutely necessary as there is a daily bus service from Dubrovnik to Orebic and from there you could use the local ferries to explore the islands or hire bikes to visit some of the traditional villages that dot the coastline.

ABOUT THE AREA
The small town of Orebic, located on the Peljesac peninsula in Southern Croatia remains one of Europes best kept secrets. Only 120kms from the delightful medieval city of Dubrovnik, it’s about a 90 minute drive along a spectacular coastal road which offers stunning views of the clear blue Adriatic and many of the unspoilt islands that dot the Dalmatian coastline.

This pretty town of about 1500 people was once the home of wealthy sea captains and sailors, who built beautiful houses along the coastline, some of which are still inhabited by the descendants of their families. The town is easy to get around on foot and still retains many links to its past with its attractive historical centre and maritime museum which houses documents and artefacts from its famous seafaring past.

There is a wide variety of restaurants and cafes with friendly service, serving great food (especially seafood) and famous local wines, as well as many shops and facilities that will cater for all your needs during your stay.

Dominating the scenery on the slopes of Mount St. Elias above Orebic there is a Franciscan Monastery (built 1470) that houses a small museum. After a short walk through the pine forests you are rewarded with unforgettable views over Orebic, and across the Peljesac channel to Korcula, Mljet and Lastovo islands.

The area around Orebic offers fantastic walking and cycling opportunities through unspoilt countryside that is still populated by hundred year old pine forests, cypress and almond trees. The coastline is made up of long sandy and pebble beaches with numerous small coves that have the shallow crystal clear waters of the Adriatic lapping the shore.

It's only a few kilometres along the coast to the village of Veganj which is Croatia's premier windsurfing location, due to the mistral winds that gently blow through the Peljesac channel, and only a 20 minute ferry ride from Orebic harbour to the island of Korcula which makes for a great day trip.
