About this property
Situated in the beautiful Croatian village of Duce, along the coastal road of Split, stands Villa Macie; a luxury 4 bedroom villa that sleeps up to 8 guests. Showcasing classically beautiful architecture, and bursting at the seams with incredible features, this property truly offers a magical and memorable stay. The villa is situated just 300m from a stunning sandy beach, and offers spectacular views across the Adriatic and to the island of Brac. The grounds of the property are fully fenced, affording you and your family security and privacy, and there’s also a garage and parking if you have your own transportation while you are here
The interior of Villa Macie is simply breathtaking and decorated to an incredibly high standard. Thoroughly modern and spacious throughout, each room is fresh and bright, with floor to ceiling glass doors, white decor, contemporary style furniture, high-gloss surfaces, back-lit sprays of exposed stonework, and punchy decorative accents of scarlett, turquoise and sunflower. The villa features all the modern conveniences you would expect, including air conditioning throughout, flat screen TVs, WiFi, PS4, and a well-equipped kitchen that includes a Delonghi coffee maker.
All rooms offer views of the sea, the pool or the garden, and there are plenty of places to relax and enjoy the morning sun, including a sun deck and balconies off of 3 of the bedrooms. Guests here can also take advantage of the traditional games room that can be found on the lower ground floor, where you can enjoy a game of cards, darts or billiards, and there’s even a 2-person sauna available within the villa.
The jewel in Villa Macie’s crown is probably its private heated pool and hydro-massage whirlpool hot tub that seats up to 4 people...the perfect place to chill out and relax with a cocktail or glass of bubbly. There are plenty of sun loungers and seating areas in the villa’s grounds, as well as a BBQ and outdoor eating area for up to 8 guests - perfect for enjoying alfresco meals with family or friends while taking in the breathtaking sea views.
Villa Macie is in a fabulous location along the Dalmatian coast near to both Omis and Split, and is perfect for those who want to sightsee and explore. From here you’ll be able to enjoy rafting, canoeing and zip-lining on the Cetina river, or be able to take a boat tour to the popular islands of Hvar or Brac. The villa is within easy walking distance of restaurants, a mini market and supermarket, and there is a beautiful sandy beach just meters away.
While you’re staying in the village of Duce, you’ll more than likely end up at Bracera Tavern, a popular restaurant that serves up a wide range of Mediterranean dishes. There are also plenty of pizzerias in the area, and even more variety if you venture into Omis - known as the city of pirates, which is a great place for sightseeing, shopping and eating! Seafood is always on the menu here, with massive sharing platters (which vary depending on the catch of the day) being a popular option. If you’re after Dalmatian favourites, you won’t be disappointed in Omis; you’ll find plenty of places where you can enjoy traditional Croatian fare such as Peka (a meat and vegetable dish), as well as dishes made with frogs, eels and river fish.
Omis is the new kid on the block when it comes to being popular as a tourist destination, but its miles of uncramped beaches and its position on the Cetina river has certainly cemented it there. This is definitely the place to be if you want to avoid the crowds; the whole stretch of coast from Omis to Split is just one huge beach - much of it without a soul to be seen.
Duce nightlife is laid back and chilled - often beginning and ending in the beachside cafes, so if you want to dance and drink the night away your best bet is to again, head to nearby Split or Omis where you’ll find more of a vibrant scene.
