Villa Farda

About this property

Perched spectacularly on the seafront across the bay from Vela Luka on the stunning island of Korčula, Croatia, Villa Farda is a haven of comfort and serenity. This charming 3-bedroom villa, designed to accommodate up to 8 guests, offers a perfect blend of modern elegance and traditional Adriatic charm.

Stepping into the villa, guests are greeted by an inviting living area made cosy with plush sofas and bright with warm sunlight filtering through large floor-to-ceiling windows leading out to the terrace. The sofa converts to a bed suitable for two guests. Adjacent to the living room, guests will find a fully equipped kitchen and dining area. The open-plan layout seamlessly connects the living, dining, and kitchen areas, creating a communal space that encourages shared moments and laughter.

The kitchen is a treat for culinary enthusiasts thanks to its range of modern appliances and ample counterspace. Whether you’re tossing together a Mediterranean Salad or preparing a holiday feast for family and friends, Villa Farda’s kitchen is a delight to cook in and boasts easy access to the interior and exterior dining settings.

The first of three well-appointed bedrooms can be found on the ground floor, it consists of a double bed, ensuite bathroom with shower, and direct access to the pool terrace. Ascending the stairs reveals the other two bedrooms, each exuding a tranquil ambience and immersive views. Both rooms boast double beds, ensuite bathrooms with showers, and balconies with spectacular views.

Villa Farda’s exterior is a sanctuary of relaxation. The private infinity pool, surrounded by sun loungers, invites you to bask in the Croatian sun while the landscaped gardens provide lush greenery to balance the open expanse of azure blue. An elegant al fresco dining setting completes the terrace, providing a sumptuous spot for those memorable meals which make a vacation unforgettable.

With its seafront position, thoughtful layout and serene atmosphere, Villa Farda promises an alluring escape into the beauty of Korčula.

Located across the bay from the idyllic town of Vela Luka on the island of Korčula (also known as the Emerald Isle), Villa Farda and its guests benefit from the comparative lack of tourists compared to places like Hvar. This gives the island its laid-back attitude but doesn’t mean there isn’t a wealth of things to see, do, and consume.

Vela Luka is where the ferry from Split arrives and has a bevy of natural and cultural attractions. Indeed, the Vela Luka Cultural Centre boasts two Henry Moore sculptures. And make sure to check out Vela Spila, a stunning cave hidden among olive groves with a gaping limestone cavity and two large holes in its ceiling that produce vivid plays of light.  

Korčula Old Town (a 44-minute drive) is certainly worth a day trip. Sometimes called “Little Dubrovnik”, thanks to the likeness of its medieval city walls, picturesque Venetian-style buildings with red rooftops, and the fact that the town is built on a small peninsula jutting out into the Peljesac channel. This historic town even provides a rival claim to Venice as the birthplace of Marco Polo (in a house on Ulica Depolo Street).

Be sure to check out St. Mark’s Cathedral, a stunning Gothic church built on the highest point in town. Finish the day at Mariola Wine Bar, a laid-back joint right on the sea where you can watch the world float by over a refreshing glass of local wine and tasty bruschetta. Or, if you’re feeling fancy, treat yourself to a cocktail at Massimo, a bar on top of a 15th-century tower perched precipitously on the sea’s edge. You’ll have to climb a ladder onto a roof, and your drinks will arrive via a pulley system, but it’s pretty fun.

Foodies should also pay the nearby town of Zrnovo a visit. This town originated Makaruni, a traditional homemade pasta from the island. Often served with beef, it can also be found with prawns or simple tomato sauce. Of course, Makaruni can be found at restaurants all over the island, so keep your eyes peeled.
