VILLA RUNJE- STONE BEAUTY with heated pool, jacuzzi, amazing view on Split & sea

VILLA RUNJE is located in the mountain and has an amazing open view of the Adriatic sea and islands, a place with the most beautiful sunsets in the peace and quiet, rural environment in mountain idyll, a sky filled with stars with very clean air at 600 meters above sea level. Villa offers a private heated 36m2 pool, with a no-Chlorine system Jacuzzi, outdoor covered dining area, traditional BBQ, seasonal organic vegetable, 3 bedrooms, fully equipped kitchen and living area with fireplace and TV...and much more. Come to Villa Runje!

Villa Runje is a stone beauty that the owner made with his hands and it offers you to find yourselves in its beautiful, well-preserved environment with amazing panoramic views and also close to everything you need for unforgettable holidays.
The surroundings of the villa are peaceful and quiet with beautiful, pure mountain air, and beautiful views of the islands, the Adriatic sea with islands, and the Split city from the 36 m2 heated swimming pool, jacuzzi, and cozy covered terrace leaves you breathless.
As a bonus you have the opportunity to eat the organic vegetables that the owner grows just for your use on the field next to the property, believe me, the taste of that season vegetables is something else. The owner picks them early in the morning while discreetly cleaning the pool and leaves it on the table just for you at no charge.

About the house:
On the ground floor, there is a fully equipped and air-conditioned kitchen (with ice machine and espresso machine), dining and a living area with a sofa and a fireplace, an amazing pool, and panoramic views, and a direct approach to the outdoor dining area. There is also one family bathroom with a shower and a washing machine.
On the first floor, there are bedrooms; Bedroom No1 with double bed, A/C and pool views, Bedroom No2 with double bed, A/C and pool views and Bedroom No3 with 2 single beds (bunk bed) and one family bathroom with a shower. There is also a terrace so you can find your own perfect spot to enjoy in a calming environment, or in romantic moments watching unforgettable sunset.
The outdoor offers: a private and heated 36 sqm swimming pool, a Whirlpool (Hot Tub) with amazing views, 6 deck chairs, covered outdoor dining area with solid wooden table, and breathtaking views from morning to evening when you can enjoy unforgettable sunsets. There is a Dalmatian outdoor fireplace to make a barbecue, a playground for children with swing, slide, seesaw, trampoline, and a net for badminton or volleyball.

Every day you can enjoy the heated pool and Jacuzzi (Hot Tub) (this is important for April, May, and also September, October) and walks in mountain trails, climbing on our mountain cliff, or riding a mountain bike. The food that we can get our guests is ecological and produced in this small pastoral village.
Please note that the pool water temperature, even with heating, can be affected by weather conditions and seasons. Therefore, specific pool temperatures cannot be guaranteed.
As a bonus you have the opportunity to eat an organic vegetable that the owner grows just for your use on the field next to the property, believe me, the taste of that season vegetables is something else. The owner picks them early in the morning while discreetly cleaning the pool and leaves it on the table just for you (no charge).

There are two restaurants within walking distance that offer local traditional food, a mini market. You have a Dalmatian outdoor fireplace to make a barbecue.

Above the villa, there is a mountain trail that will keep you in shape, or perhaps try free climbing on the path also above the villa.
There are two secured parking places and the property is fenced.
Our neighborhood is friendly, quiet, and unspoiled. You can buy local food like goat's milk, eggs, vegetables, fruit, and wine in the village, and there is a minimarket within walking distance. All those local products hosts can provide for you at your request (not included).

The house is placed near the suburbs of Split (20 min drive), which gives you the proximity to all that one modern city has to offer, yet you are not involved in all the city fuss.

The guest will have access to the entire house; two big terraces overlooking the nearby city of Split (18km), coast, and several islands; our garden with domestic and organic vegetables, heated private swimming pool, jacuzzi (Hot Tub), 6 deck chairs, and authentic Dalmatian fireplace; playground for your youngest and 2 parking spaces.

This Villa is a unique place that is in a well-preserved environment where you can enjoy relaxing with a glass of wine and so close to everything you need for a complete holiday experience.

The near Split area is the perfect place to visit and to spend holidays. You will be in the center of Dalmacija, and be able to visit Split (half-hour), small-town Omiš (half-hour), Cetina river (half-hour), Krka waterfalls (1,5h), beautiful town Trogir (30 min) or to visit the nearest island Brač for a one-day tour, or just enjoy in view from the terrace far from the city fuss.

We are looking forward to meeting you.

Owners Mare and Zdenko

    My husband and I spent a week at Villa Runje with close friends. We all agreed that we have never stayed in a better eqipped holiday home - and we've seen a few! Mare and Zdenko were the kindest of hosts. The house (built by Zdenko) was immaculate and beautifully maintained. The views and sunsets were spectacular

    The location is great, even though the mountain roads are not suitable for the widest cars. So make sure to get a car fitting the roads. The Villa was nice, pool with 28c water, jacuzzi with 34c water. The house was well equipped and with modern accessories (even a PS4 for the kids to play with) and a view second to none. We had a very warm week with temperatures between 34-39c but the air conditioning in the building made it comfortable all day round. We had a very nice vacation, using the Villa as a base for car trips around Dalmatia area.

    This property is stunning, Zdenko & Mirjana are wonderful and attentive hosts. Our experience was exceptional and would thoroughly recommend to anyone considering staying here! The only one thing I would recommend to anyone staying is that I was grateful for having a smaller hire car as the entrance to the property is quite tight! I hope that in the future that we can come back to this beautiful villa and experience this holiday again!

    We loved our holiday at this villa. It is perfect for a family of 6 and very safe for kids. The pool area is beautiful and the sun loungers comfortable - the hot tub is a real treat. The patio dining area is perfect in the evenings and the view is spectacular. We cooked often on the outdoor oven. And ate courgettes from the garden. Mare and Zdenko even cooked us a stunning Peka dinner one night, and then dropped off a beautiful cherry cheese cake the evening we were leaving. The beds are so comfortable and we slept 9-10 hrs each night! It's a 30 min drive down to the coast on bending winding roads. Being up in the mountains means you are cooler and there is a beautiful breeze so that was perfect. The village is not touristy however and is completely off the beaten track - it has one basic shop. We didn't actually go to the restaurant there at all. There is a get pizza restaurant 15 mins down the mountain from the villa with nice river views. Overall, we would say that Mare and Zdenko are some of the nicest people we have ever met! So helpful and accommodating - nothing was too much hassle and they take excellent care of their property. We feel we got to see both sides of Croatia - the everyday, village where people live and work and the touristy cultural side down by the coast. Mare recommended beaches and we drove to them and then did boat excursions - one to the 3 islands (leaves at 9:30) and one to the Blue cave & Hvar (leaves at 7:30am). Both very different, both equally enjoyable. Parking crazy in Split so go in early or leave the car somewhere within a two min walk in to the city. We loved Split and would recommend exploring the old town there (though the value or quality of food is not good inside the old walls) - outside better. The sandy beach in Omis town is okay - we would recommend the pebble ones further down the coast. A day trip to Krka National Park is worth it too - take the river boat entrance and plan to spend c. 2hrs Bring swimming togs too as you can jump in for a swim at the water falls. We explored the cities in the late evenings/nights as the heat was very intense during the days. Trogir is a beautiful town too and well worth stopping off in for dinner or an ice cream. And Ston is stunning and well worth stopping off at to eat amazing shell fish - Mare has brilliant restaurant recommendations for everywhere so definitely try what she recommends!! In Dubrovnik, the 1hr city tour is well worth it.

    Our family had a wonderful 2 weeks at Villa Runje, we could have stayed longer..... The owners are lovely people and helped us in several ways, recommending restaurants and booking, explaining we had dietary requirements for allergies. They even cooked us a delicious local dish one evening, which my kids now want me to replicate! There is so much to do within a 2 hour drive we could easily come back again. Omis is very pretty, rafting the Cetina is great fun but the Omis zip lines were our kids (9 and 11) favourite! The villa is up on Moser Mountain and the drive there includes some narrow windy roads, but don't let that put you off. You are rewarded with the most spectacular views of Split. We spent almost every evening watching the sun sets from the hot tub or over a glass of wine and a game of cards with the kids....

    Four adults and three children stayed for one week at Villa Runje. The villa was perfect for us with a pool, jacuzzi, playground for the children and wi-fi. The house owners made us feel very welcome, and they cooked a fantastic traditional Dalmatian meal for us one evening. It is a 15-20 minute drive up the mountain to get to the villa. Once there, the view is fantastic. It’s easy to reach different locations within a 30 minute drive, Split, Omis, Trogir etc. We can highly recommend staying at Villa Runje!

    We (a family of 6, 2 adults and 4 daughters) experienced an amazing one week stay in Villa Runje! The villa is very well equipped with everything one need. The girls enjoyed the heated pool and tub despite the cold weather. The hosts Mare and Zdenko are just the perfect hosts! Fresh bread was delivered at the villa every morning (because the bakery was closed during our stay) and they prepared a lovely organic meal for our family! We highly recommend this beautiful place and are planning to return in the near future!

    Villa Runje is a truly amazing place to stay. The Villa itself was perfect for our family of 4 (2 adults, 12 and 10 years) facilities were great, everything needed for cooking etc... The children especially enjoyed the pool and wi-fi a bonus. The hot tub was lovely, especially watching the sun go down. The views from the Villa are breathtaking, you never get tired of them! A car is a must for sightseeing, the drive up the mountain is interesting, but so worth the tranquility at the top! Mare and her husband were perfect hosts, greeting us with wine on many occasions! 😊 good to communicate with and on hand with any queries. We have had an amazing time here and did not want to leave, we will definitely be coming back! 😊
