Villa Milena  

On Brač Island in Milna, a secluded upscale 4-star villa near the beach. Minutes from Rt Bijaka, Hana and Pasika beaches and about 15 minutes by car from the Church of St. Roko; Port of Split and Diocletian’s Palace sit roughly 22 miles away.

This five-room villa feels private and polished — think air-conditioned rooms with fireplaces, pillowtop beds and premium bedding. Each unit has a kitchen (refrigerator, oven, stovetop, microwave) and a private furnished balcony or patio; some rooms include sofa beds and 32-inch flat-screen TVs with satellite. Elevator access and luggage storage make arrivals easy.

Dive into an outdoor pool, rent a bicycle for coastal rides, or chill in the terrace and garden — wake up to sea-breeze mornings. There’s a picnic and barbecue area, tour/ticket assistance, laundry facilities, a safe-deposit box and free self-parking on site.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Practical extras include luggage storage, laundry services and on-site parking.

Stop by the on-site restaurant or fire up the barbecue at the picnic area. Every room’s kitchen also lets you self-cater with refrigerators, ovens, stovetops and microwaves.
