Description Waterfall Grotto: Garica

The first thing that grabbed our attention at this typically Croatian villa was the swimming pool. Fed by waterfall and with a grotto-like shaded area, it sits pride of place in the backyard. Dine by the poolside on the loggia-style patio, perfect for a rustic lunch from the grill. Inside, the bright and open living room shows off exposed stone walls like the farmhouses of old and quirky mid-century furniture provides pops of holiday-bright colour. Enjoy a quiet night in charming bedrooms with traditional wooden ceilings and honey-hued stone walls on display.

In terms of location, you’re 600 metres from the centre of Garica hamlet, where a couple of supermarkets are within walking distance. For days at the beach or to explore Croatia’s ancient town centres, head to the coastal towns of Vrbnik (excellent for diving) a ten-minute drive away, and Krk, a fifteen-minute drive away.
