Quiet and beautiful water directly in front of a comfortable vacation home make this 800-metre property a rare slice of paradise in Korcula, Croatia.
Our 135-square-meter three-bedroom, two-and-a-half bath home is directly on the sea in Tri Zala (Three Bays), less than three kilometers west of Korcula’s old town. From a quiet road, you exit down steps along terraced gardens to the home. You enter on the main floor into the kitchen (including dishwasher), and toward the sea are a living room and bedroom; a bathroom is to the side.
Outside the bedroom and living room is a 35-square meter terrace with a splendid 180-degree sweeping view of the ocean. The water in front is the Peljesac Channel across to the Sveti Ilija mountain (961 meters high) on the Peljesac Peninsula connection to the Croatian mainland.
Upstairs are another two bedrooms (one has two single beds; the other a double bed) with parquet wood floor and a second full bathroom. Below the main house is another large living room area with a small kitchen and small toilet and another terrace in front. Your own private stairs from this level lead to another level of land and then to your private access to the Adriatic. The waterfront here and across almost all of Korcula is rocky, but the crystal-clear water is easily entered from a small dock on the property. Traditional stone, flowers and plants decorate the property and extras include a large outdoor grill, a washing machine and many corners for relaxation.
The house is also rare because it is rented in its entirety and no one else will be there during your stay. Although a few islanders rent houses directly on the water, almost all subdivide the space inside.
The historical centre of the island is built on a small peninsula which narrows the passage between the island and the mainland to bare 1270 metres. The very possibility of the control of navigation of galleys and sailing boats along the eastern coast of the Adriatic at this place was the cause of the foundation of the small town-fortress, which issued this important service to various masters. In its present form it develops rapidly from the 13th century, the century of the proclamation of the Statute, coming of the dukes from the Venetian family Zorzi, the century of Marko Polo.
The town walls and towers, from that time on, are ever higher and stronger, and houses and churches are ever higher and more comfortable. The town is at the peak of its might in the 16th century when it could "receive 6.000 inhabitants". The building is quite concentrated; "the whole city enclosed by walls does not surpass by its surface one modern football stadium"; some experts compare the Middle Age Korcula and its narrow streets with Manhattan. The town impressed many medieval writers and travel writers, and it deterred, by its fortification, many invaders.
