Holidays for the soul (private heated pool)

Villa Lucian is located in the southeast of the island of Brač. It has two floors and can accommodate 14 people. It is located on the outskirts of Selca and is still only a few minutes' walk from the center for all needs. The equipment is simple and comfortable, while being functional and tasteful.
Due to its location, the house is preparing for a quiet family vacation. If you want to recover from the stress and fast lifestyle, you have come to the right place. If you still want to be active on vacation, you will find offers for sport and leisure, excursions, night spots in the open air in the nearby towns, etc.
From the house you can access a spacious outdoor area with pool and whirlpool. The garden is laid out in the traditional Dalmatian style from old stone on the island of Brač with many Mediterranean plants. Next to the pool there is a whirlpool with a panoramic view of the sea and the surrounding mountains. There is also a children's corner for the little ones. Enjoy your absolute calm and your completely undisturbed privacy. The spacious house with two huge terraces and the outside area cannot be seen from the outside. From the kitchen you come to a 70 m2 terrace with a unique panoramic view of the sea, the forest, the surrounding mountains and the bay from the fishing village Sumartin. On the terrace there is a large wooden table and a large grill fireplace.

The prefect villa
We loved our stay at the villa. It was the perfect size for two families, lots of space inside and out, with an amazing pool and hot tub. The villa was incredibly well equipped, there was nothing we needed. It is situated in a little village where everything is a walk away, great supermarket, deli, bar, pharmacy, butcher and delicious pizzeria. We would definitely recommend this villa. it was a joy to stay there and we will be returning. The only challenging part of our holiday were the car ferries to and from Brac. The queues are very long. I advise anyone who is travelling in peak season to leave plenty of time and go as early as possible.

Villa Lucian In Selca Brac Croatia
This is a stunning property - beautifully maintained by Tanja and her husband. We were a party of 14 and just home from a wonderful holiday with our three children with their families. The seven grandchildren varied in age from 4 to 9 and they loved the pool area and hot tub which were cleaned every morning at 6am although we never heard a thing! The villa has an amazing view from the top floor to the sea at Sumartin with a table that holds many happy memories for us of BBQ nights and chatting. There are 3 supermarkets close by and Surmartin has some wonderful swimming areas in the beautiful adriatic sea - best swimming we have ever done anywhere in the world - the sea is crystal clear. We cannot thank Tanja enough - she is an amazing hostess and helped us book restaurants and a full day boat trip which I would really recommend. In summary a perfect place for a family holiday. The villa is clean and very well equipped - plenty of safe parking. Selca and the area surrounding is unspoilt with many lovely small waterfront restuarants. Can't wait to return one day.

Superb villa in stunning location. That view!!!!! Wow!
Just home from a wonderful 1 week say here. The villa is beautiful and has everything you need for an enjoyable stay. The outside area, pool and spa bath are fantastic with shade and sun as desired. The view is simply breathtaking! The ever changing colour of the mountains and the boats coming and going in the sea are a joy to take in over a morning coffee or an evening wine. Selca is very small, very beautiful and very quiet. The supermarkets are few mins walk away. There is a great pizza restaurant next to a lovely play park and bar available by the church. It was exactly what we wanted. The people are lovely and Tanja was so welcoming and helpful. She put us in touch with Zeljko from the local taxi service who were outstanding! Both transfers were seamless and they were available whenever we wanted to see the sights of the wonderful island of Brac. Sumartin is gorgeous with a few restaurants, supermarket, ferry to the mainland and boat, jet ski, buggy, SUP hire. Its quite a walk and no pavement so we used the taxi service mainly but the walk there and back is great exercise! There is a path over the hill so you don’t have to walk on the road for the most part which offers great views. Smaller groups may benefit from car hire but we felt the prices of the taxi’s were good value so used them to visit Sumartin, Bol, Povlja. All stunning! The cocktail bar in the bay opposite Sumartin is fantastic! Thank you so much, we loved our holiday, it was perfect!

Great stay with great host
The villa is beautiful, including the garden/pool area. It offers great views of the mountains and the sea. Location is close to the supermarket in Selca and just 25 minute walk (or short taxi ride) down the hill to Surmartin, a small fishing village. Tanja, the host, was excellent when communicating before arrival, helping to arrange a boat for us as we had a late arrival. She met us at the villa late at night (due to plane delays) and came back the next day to welcome us again and talk us through areas we might like to visit on Brac. We were a group of 10 with an age range of 2 to 70 years old and everyone loved it. The dining table outside offers spectacular views. (Just pack bug spray for the evenings). Very recommended.

Great villa and lovely time in Selca
A group of family and friends stayed at this villa for a week. The villa owners ( Tanja and her husband) were very warm and such great hosts. Communication with Tanja was excellent from the booking process to us leaving . Useful information was provided regarding places to eat, things to do and see. Tanja even arranged transport for us and was always on hand for advice. The villa has two floors. The top floor has 3 bedrooms and a lovely terrace were we all sat to enjoy meals and drinks most nights. The mountain views from the top terrace are amazing . The ground floor has 2 bedrooms and a terrace overlooking the pool and jacuzzi. Both floors have an open plan kitchen, diner and lounge. The villa was well equipped, Very clean and comfortable. The pool was always clean, plenty of towels provided. It was an easy 5 minute walk to the local shops , bars and restaurants. Tanja helped us hire a boat to explore Hvar, also helped with local taxi services and car hire. All the family from the little baby to adults, all enjoyed our stay at the villa . Great memories.

Our stay was just excellent! Tanja is so kind and helpful person. She gave us an advice about close beaches, restaurants, shops, fruit market and so on. All property is excellent for a stay of big family with small children. Pool and whirpool are really nice, same as outside dining table. Property is really very close to the marina, beaches, shops and bars/restaurants (about 5 min. by car).

Beautiful villa with amazing views
Villa Lucian is a stunning property, the villa was absolutely immaculate, very clean and spacious. There was enough space for 14 of us and each bedroom was equally lovely. The views from the top terrace are to die for, surrounded by mountains! The villa benefits from having a lovely pool but be aware the pool is not heated and hot tub is heated by the sun so if weather is not great which we experienced it can be too cold to enjoy. Tanja the host met us on arrival and arranged a welcome pack for us, she was there on hand for everything we needed. We couldnt ask for a better host! The villa is conveniently located by the main town of Selca where u can find a few restaurants, bars and supermarkets which you can walk to in around 5 minutes. Every where else u need to go by car, Sumartin is a lovely fishing village about 10 minutes drive with a stone beach, playground for kids and lovely restaurants. Despite the usual bad weather we all enjoyed the stay and I would definately return back. Thank you to Tanja for making us very welcome. Thanks Nadia

Truly a holiday for the soul- fun and relaxing. Just perfect.
This was a truly magical place to stay. The location, accommodation and hosts could not have been improved upon. Tanja was so helpful and welcoming, leaving fruit and a delicious platter of hams, cheese and fresh bread for us. She also gave us a guided tour of Sumartin, pointed out restaurants and places to visit and organised speedboats to take us to Hvar (a trip I would really recommend) The villa is even more stunning than it was in the photos. The pool area and jacuzzi are just beautiful with incredible views. There were 16 of us -8 from Scotland and 8 from Australia (we had an extra surprise guest and Tanja was very flexible about this) and it was important to us that everything was perfect and it was. The local wine tasting and peka was also superb. Tanjja’s husband came every morning and cleaned the pool so that everything was immaculate when we awoke. I would like to thank them for helping to make our special family holiday so wonderful.

Relaxing house with beautiful pool garden
This house is very convenient for 12 people -separated in two apartments. Nice kitchen in both. Gorgeous veranda with beautiful views of both the sea and the mountains. Unfortunately no evening sun. 2.5 km to Sumartin with restaurants and beaches. Selca 200m away is a quiet village with a few shops and restaurants. Tanja was very helpful both before arrival and also guided us the first day. Everything worked perfect!

An Oasis on the Island of Brac
Tanja and Ivica's Villa in the idyllic village of Selca, Brac is an absolute oasis and an ideal vacation spot. Our group of 8 people were extremely comfortable and well cared for in this spacious, island get-away. The Villa is extremely well appointed and Tanja and Ivica could not have been more accommodating. They arranged for a boat trip for us to Hvar, took us on a tour of the areas around the Villa and even organized an amazing peka dinner to be prepared for us in the Villa on the first night. The Villa is located on a beautiful part of the island, just minutes from the port of Sumartin. The view from the terrace of the mountains and the sea could not be more majestic! As tour guides, we organize many tours in locations around the world and we cannot recommend this gorgeous Villa enough. Thank you Tanja and Ivica for everything! We look forward to our next stay with you.

Welcoming hosts, marvellous stay
We had a very lovely stay at the Villa for 10 days. Tanya and her husband were perfect hosts that were caring, friendly and very relaxed. The Villa was beautiful with a marvellous view, even to the sea. The rooms were clean and nice and we had enough space for our group of 12 adults and one little child. We had a good time also at the pool and whirlpool. Unfortunately the last mentioned could not be heated, however the weather was very warm most of the time so there was no need for heated water in the whirlpool. We warmly recommend staying at the villa! Best greetings

Fantastiskt hus i lugna omgivningar men ändå närhet till affärer och service. Vi var 5 vuxna och 5 tonåringar vilket fungerade väldigt bra med två våningsetage med separat kök. Poolen med launchen var perfekt. Bra plats med bilar vi hade 3 st och det fungerade bra. Ville man ta en promenad på morgonen så fanns det än naturslinga på ca 4 km i absolut närhet. Vår värd Tanja var ett underbart stöd under hela vistelsen och det märktes att Tanja ville att vi verkligen fick en underbar vecka. Vi vill från vår familj tacka för en underbar vecka. Kan verkligen rekommendera detta ställe TACK

Wir haben Pfingsten in der Villa von Tanja verbracht. 3 Familien, je 4 Personen (Kinder zwischen 9 und 15 Jahre). Wir alle waren mehr als begeistert von Tanjas Villa. Die Kinder haben unten geschlafen, die Erwachsenen oben. Die Veranda mit dem Essplatz ist sensationell. Der Poolbereich riesig. Es ist ruhig, der Blick unverbaut. Alles ist sehr sehr sauber. Internet funktioniert hervorragend. Tanja ist sehr hilfsbereit und hat viele Tipps. Der Ort Selca entpuppt sich als ein sehr lieblicher Ort mit 2 Supermärkten und einem Obststand. Ein wunderschöner Platz mit Restaurants und einer Bar. Die Bewohner sind alle auffallend freundlich. Pfingsten waren wir gefühlt die einzigsten Touristen im Ort. Wir würden sofort wieder buchen.

waren im August 2018 eine Woche in dem Haus. Die Vermieter sind sehr zuvorkommend und versuchen alles damit der Urlaub in Erinnerung bleibt. Die Aussicht auf die Berge und das Meer ist echt etwas Besonderes. Morgen nach dem Aufstehen in den Pool springen und nach dem Strand abends nochmals ist sehr angenehm und tut sehr gut. Die Ausstattung ist Kroatischer guter Standart. Die Insel Brac bietet echt viel und ist super entspannend. Werden versuchen jedes Jahr nach Kroatien zu fahren.

Wonderful house and hosts.
We visited Selca with friends for one week in August and had realy amazing time. The house, swimming pool area and stunning views from the house was so inviting so we struggled to leave to go out and make the rest of the island surrounding. Our hosts Tanja and Ivica, who greeted us with all necessary information and help, couldn’t be more accommodating. Their house was beautiful and immaculately kept. We had everything we needed to enjoy our holiday. Thank you Tanja and Ivica for your great hospitality! And thank you Milan for the great time on your boat! /Adam & Beata with friends
