Cottages to Castles Croatia Brochure

Cottages to Castles Croatia presents a programme of villa holidays across some of the most beautiful regions of Croatia, drawn from the expertise of Cottages To Castles, a company with more than two decades of experience arranging villa holidays. After several years operating in Croatia, the company has carefully sought out quality properties at reasonable prices for its clients.

Istria

Istria is the heart-shaped westernmost peninsula of Croatia, similar in appearance to Italy's Liguria or Umbria, yet quite different in its aromas, air and colours. It juts southwards into the northern Adriatic opposite Venice, a short boat ride away.

• Stunningly indented coastlines with hundreds of inlets, bays and fjords, such as the spectacular Limski Canal near Rovinj
• A hilly interior that is totally unspoilt and peaceful, ideal for a stress-free get-away-from-it-all holiday

Central Dalmatia

Central Dalmatia is described as a haven of hedonism and history, combining spectacular beaches, Roman antiquity and a string of gorgeous green islands set on a sapphire-blue sea. It is a region of dramatic coastal scenery and of medieval and Renaissance towns packed with character.

• Some of the best, reasonably priced food and wine in the Mediterranean
• Weather that allows visitors to swim and sunbathe from early May to the end of September

Southern Dalmatia

Southern Dalmatia is the southernmost tip of Croatia, a narrow strip of land attended by forested islands, soaked in sunshine and caressed by Mediterranean breezes. It is a lush region of inlets and magnificent beaches interspersed with steep cliffs, crowned by the walled city of Dubrovnik. Large parts of the region remain free of tourists, and the climate is not harshly hot, kept mild in winter by a warm Adriatic and tempered in summer by the maestral, a cool breeze known as 'the messenger of lovely weather'.
