Villa Hermina

About this property

It’s the simple things in life that bring us a sense of tranquillity; a table peppered with delicious flavours and tastes, a baby blue pool to ease into in order to escape the heat of another ethereal day and being surrounded by the beauty and serenity of nature. When you supercharge the little things with a touch of elegance and luxury, they become all the more beautiful.

May we introduce you to Villa Hermina, here to welcome your group to a peaceful paradise. A traditional stone property near Sinj, you can enjoy amazing views of Cetina, the striking river valley. Completed with a heated pool, hot tub and four bedrooms. As a fully renovated property with a traditional exterior, you may find yourself experiencing the best of the old and new worlds. Furnished in a vintage style, you’ll also find plenty of light, brightness, and modernity to ensure that you enjoy your vacation. Your villa is located in the tiny village of Gala, close to Sinj, which is further inland from Split, one of Dubrovnik’s most popular tourist destinations. This gives you great proximity to Split’s glamour and prestige, but ensures you get to retreat to a part of the country where things move at a slower, gentler pace.

Your villa is here to bring you all the comforts you need to feel at home, including full air-conditioning throughout the property, Wi-Fi and three parking places secured on your own private plot. Able to accommodate eight people, this is the perfect choice for friends seeking fun or a family wanting quality together time.

You’ll also find a kitchen fully equipped to meet your needs, a comfortable living and dining room, two master bedrooms complete with en-suite bathrooms and two further bedrooms each with two single beds. Their open-concept design is utterly modern. One of the bedrooms is located in the attic and kitted out with a PlayStation 4 and Smart TV which may make it the envy of all. A family bathroom is shared between the two rooms – ideal to be shared by siblings.

Outside you’ll truly be able to take in the beauty of the surrounding area. Life in the Med is designed to be lived outdoors – the concept of bringing the indoors outside is hugely popular. You’ll be able to enjoy you covered and shaded dining area complete with fireplace for those more chilly evenings. Here you can make traditional Dalmatian specialties or try some of the local tipple. You can also make use of your own private heated pool, hot-tub and play a game of outdoor table tennis.

The views are truly something to behold – the verdant countryside stretches all around and most promisingly, you’ll get to enjoy the striking views of the Cetina River and neighbouring valley.

One of the most enchanting aspects of this property is its proximity to nature and the wild world. Wake up to the sweet songs of birds and the sounds of the natural world around you. If you prefer peace and quiet served with a slice of serenity with lashings of nature, then Villa Hermina is ideal for you.

Your home away from home is located 7km from Sinj town, an area centred in the very heart of Dalmatia. But we’re not just talking about geographically. Here you’ll find a very compelling sense of the local spirit. The history and culture of the area are powerful and palpable – it is here that brave locals fought to protect the Dalmatian Coast from Turkish invasions.

Not far from Split, the sophisticated city of many visitors, you’re positioned perfectly in the River Cetina Valley and eclipsed by three rather majestic mountains. These are the Kamešnica, Svilaja, and Dinara, all of which make for breath-taking (literally and figuratively) hikes.

Sinj itself is a geographically diverse area where you can enjoy mountains, rivers, and forests – if you’re a nature lover, you’ll find everything you’re looking for. You’re also close to some of the cosy essentials that make life easy – for example your closest minimarket is 0.5k from your villa, and you’ll also find a pizzeria and bar nearby.

Sinj itself is an 11-minute drive from your property. Nearby you can enjoy Peručko lake, a picturesque location where you can enjoy the sunshine, indulge in a picnic or swim in the beautiful water.

For those who seek a touch more adrenaline there are opportunities to exercise this daredevil streak on the Cetina River with white-water rafting or canoeing on the Cetina River, a 40-minute drive away. There is a family friendly option, which is suitable for children from the age of eight upwards, and a more challenging course. Both courses last approximately three hours and may prove to be a highlight of your holiday.

You may also wish to horse ride in the stunning wilds of the area and may allow you to reach untouched areas, including fascinating old villages seemingly frozen in time. One of the most exciting aspects of the area is the versatile and varied terrain. Sinj itself is well worth visiting. A game called Alka was invented here – you may wish to play. It’s known as a knights’ game and has become a staple of the area ever since. You can find out more by visiting the Sinj Museum which will take you on an interactive and innovative trip into the area and feed any thirst for knowledge you may have.

If you require a further shot of adrenaline, you must head to the mountains on a quad safari. This is a marvellous way to explore this unique part of the world. Here you can enjoy the amazing landscapes of the Dalmatian inlands and enjoy Kamešnica mountain. There’s also the option to partake in a river tour via canoe where you can truly forge memories that will last a lifetime. For those who prefer to explore the landscape via bicycle, there are numerous biking trails that will take you deep into the very soul of Dalmatia. Go off the beaten track and explore the hidden corners of this beautiful country.

If you decide to venture into Split, which we’d highly recommend, you can enjoy a tremendous array of historical attractions including the stunning old town, the mighty Diocletian Palace, and the nearby Krka waterfalls. For a short trip, the tiny town of Trogir, which is unesco protected, is a wonderfully authentic way to explore old Croatia and transport yourself back in time.

You may even wish to explore further afield and visit the enchanting walled city of Dubrovnik. With so much to do, it’s up to you to decide how to best spend your time.
