Overview
Situated in central Dalmatia, Villa Julija is just 1.5 km from the centre of Zaton, a quiet village just over ten kilometres from Vodice. It boasts a pool, hot tub, children’s play area, four bedrooms, two of which are en-suite, and a further family bathroom. This beautiful traditional but modern villa is a perfect destination for families or friends travelling together.
You will find parking for up to three cars. The heated swimming pool dominates the outside area. Sun loungers and parasols are in place to ensure you make the most of your time relaxing around the pool. A pergola attached to the villa provides a shaded oasis with comfortable garden furniture. At one end of the pool is a grassed play area with swings and a slide. You will also be delighted to find a hot tub shaded by a further pergola. When the sun goes down, an outdoor dining area is what you would like to enjoy: evening meals and cocktails.
The ground floor has the main open-plan living area, which overlooks the pool terrace. Hardwood floors and contemporary furnishings make this spacious area perfect for spending time after sunset. Sofas and a dining table that seats eight means you can relax and enjoy whatever the weather. The fully equipped, sleek, spacious kitchen has a breakfast bar.
From the pool terrace, you can also enter the sauna room, where you will find the sauna, shower, and loungers—exactly what you need to rest.
Bedroom one can be found on the ground floor. This spacious, air-conditioned double bedroom has a wall-mounted satellite television, an en-suite bathroom with a shower, and patio doors leading to the terrace. An internal staircase will take you to the first floor, where you will find three more air-conditioned bedrooms. Bedroom two is a double room with an en-suite bathroom, shower, and flat-screen satellite television. Bedrooms three and four are also double rooms but share a family bathroom.
What you should know…
- Two of the four bedrooms are not ensuite. The shared Jack and Jill bathroom can be accessed from each room.
- Many local beaches are pebbled, and sturdy beach shoes are advised.
- Although the town of Zaton is just 1.5 kilometres away, a car would be helpful for visiting further afield.

Region
Cradled along the shimmering shores of the Adriatic Sea, Šibenik is an ancient coastal city that sits equidistance from the larger and busier cities of Zadar and Split. By contrast to these larger destinations, Šibenik offers a glimpse into a more local way of life. With its well-preserved medieval core, magnificent fortresses, and the ethereal beauty of Krka National Park at its doorstep, Šibenik is a destination that captivates the hearts of travellers seeking an authentic Croatian experience.
Šibenik's Old Town is home to one of Croatia’s ten UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the iconic Cathedral of St. James. The cathedral is a true masterpiece of Renaissance architecture, a testament to human ingenuity and craftsmanship. The intricate frieze that adorns the cathedral's exterior tells stories from the Bible and local history, leaving visitors in awe of the skill and artistry of the craftsmen who dedicated their lives to this grand project. Stepping inside, the awe-inspiring interior of the cathedral continues to leave visitors breathless with its intricate stone vaulting and a serene atmosphere.
A visit to the Šibenik City Museum reveals the rich maritime history of the region, showcasing ancient ship models, navigational instruments, and artefacts from the city's seafaring past. Šibenik's maritime heritage is also celebrated during the annual International Children's Festival, a tradition that dates back to 1958 and unites children from all over the world in a cultural exchange of art and music. Children from around the world participate in various artistic and cultural activities, making it a unique experience for young travellers.
Šibenik’s calendar comes alive with festivals and cultural events throughout the year. The Šibenik Evening of Dalmatian Chanson is a tribute to the region's musical heritage, where local and international artists perform the soulful songs of Dalmatia. For those seeking a more contemporary cultural experience, the Terraneo Music Festival brings renowned musicians and electronic music enthusiasts to the city. This eclectic blend of events ensures there's always something happening in Šibenik, from lively street performances to classical concerts in historic settings.
Just a short drive from the city, Krka National Park is a haven of cascading waterfalls, lush greenery, and crystalline rivers. The park's centrepiece is the Skradinski Buk waterfall, a stunning series of cascades that plummet into a serene pool. The park is not only a feast for the eyes but also a sanctuary for diverse wildlife, including various bird species and aquatic life. Hiking trails and wooden walkways wind through the park, allowing visitors to explore its beauty at their own pace.
A boat trip along the Krka River offers a unique perspective on the park's natural wonders and historical sites, including the Visovac Monastery, a peaceful island sanctuary that has stood for centuries.
Šibenik is a gateway to the stunning Dalmatian islands that dot the Adriatic Sea. Day trips or longer island-hopping adventures are easily arranged from the city's port. Islands like Kornati, Prvić, and Zlarin offer pristine beaches, clear waters, and the opportunity to experience the tranquility of island life. Kornati National Park, also known as the "nautical paradise," is a sailor's dream, with its rugged islands and countless coves. Charter a boat or join an organised tour to explore this unique archipelago, which is a protected natural wonder and a playground for divers and snorkelers.
Whether you're wandering the picturesque cobbled streets of the Old Town, basking in the natural splendour of Krka National Park, or savouring traditional dishes in local eateries, Šibenik promises an unforgettable journey through history and the magic of the Mediterranean.

Best Suited For: All AgesWith plenty of space and privacy, little ones will have ample room to run around and explore. The private pool is always a popular feature with children who are more than happy to splash and play endlessly, and with the added bonus of a children’s play area, Villa Julija is perfect for kids.
Kids have plenty of fun options. They can splash around at the popular Blue Beach or explore the nearby pebble beaches, which have calm, shallow waters perfect for little ones. The Aquapark Vodice offers thrilling water slides and pools for all ages. For a bit of adventure, families can visit the nearby Krka National Park to see waterfalls and enjoy nature trails. Vodice’s promenade has playgrounds and open spaces where children can play, and the town’s summer festivals often feature kid-friendly activities and entertainment.

Super nice holiday in Zaton!

Dream week!
We spent a wonderful week in Croatia at Villa Julija. The house is top and well/generously furnished. Nice large rooms with bathroom. The pool is heated but still provides a pleasant cool down. You can linger in the hot tub. House handover and acceptance by host was great.
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
