"My brother, who refuses to skip a workout, had been concerned about finding a gym in such a remote spot. To our relief, the house had a bench, yoga mat, weights, a stationary bike, and plenty of space for cardio-whether running the incline up the mountain or swimming laps in the pool. Evenings sometimes turned into game nights in the entertainment room, which housed a giant projector for movies, billiards table, guitar, and karaoke-ready sound system."
"The kitchen was well-stocked for cooking, with a market in walking distance for fresh produce. While my mom is a superb cook, the few meals we outsourced at the villa were actually unforgettable. One afternoon, while out on a boat by the bay, we crossed paths with a fisherman who had just caught a couple of massive tuna. With a hand signal from our host and a nod from the fishermen in response, we bought the fish right there in the middle of the Adriatic,"
The villa provided comprehensive amenities including a bench, yoga mat, weights, a stationary bike, pool space, and an entertainment room with a projector, billiards table, guitar, and karaoke system. Meals combined home cooking, market produce, and extraordinary villa-prepared dishes, including fresh tuna purchased directly from a fisherman and cooked over a traditional Croatian wood fire with olive oil and garlic. Private chefs prepared other memorable dinners, enjoyed alfresco with panoramic views and local wine. The villa functioned as a home base for diverse regional activities, from boat excursions and historic walking tours to cave swims and quick border crossings around southern Croatia.
