Luxury brand new villa by the sea in beautiful village

There can be few panoramic views more beautiful than the one from the terraces of The Glass House on Brač. This luxury new build is beautifully situated on the hillside of Pučišća on the unspoiled island of Brač. From here one can stare across the crystal blue waters of the Adriatic Sea to the dramatic mountain range high above the city of Split or turn and watch the dazzling white stone village of Pucisca turn a subtle shade of pink as the sun slowly sets behind it.

Cleverly designed by award winning architect Damir Rako, the villa is drenched in hot Mediterranean sun, yet allows the breeze to flow through the living areas and provides ample shade for those who wish it. Although it has a contemporary design, it makes use of the famous white Brač stone, the same stone that was used to build The White House in Washington. Cleverly positioned terraces lined with native plants and trees soften the villa, and give guests a superb vantage spot at any time of day.

The villa, built as our own family escape, is individually and stylishly decorated with uncluttered elegance. It is a refuge for those seeking peace and tranquility but also incorporates all the modern conveniences one would expect in such a beautiful villa. All the bedrooms are designed to be calm and restful spaces and each boasts its own individually designed en-suite bathroom and a balcony. Each bedroom has a flat screen TV and a separate air-conditioning unit, allowing guests to independently select their own indoor temperature.

The outdoor living spaces are comprised of terraces on different levels, some large enough to host all the guests together and others to encourage smaller gatherings. The sun deck is the top story of the villa and is set-aside for the true sun worshipers being bathed in sun from morning to night, although the large Jacuzzi offers a little respite. From here the view out to sea and down to the village is truly magnificent. On the main terrace sits the pool, also with the same unadulterated views. Here we have also installed an outdoor kitchen with a large BBQ and a Pizza oven, encouraging a perfect balance between inside and outside living.

The villas spacious construction allows for many people to holiday together happily. With its large kitchen/dining area, two reception rooms and many terraces large and small, one can either seek out the other guests or hide away with a book, depending on ones mood.

The small attractive village of Pučišća, voted one of Europe’s prettiest, is a five-minute walk down narrow cobbled streets. Here the warmth of local hospitality will enchant you and the lack of crowds will delight you. There are family run shops, bars and konobas (restaurants) to suit all tastes, all offering undiluted charm on this very special island. The sea is a stones throw away and the village boasts three public beaches, but the whole coastline dips elegantly into the sea and it is easy to find ones own unoccupied space just a few minutes walk from the house. It is also possible to rent boats, jetskis, fishing equipment, book boat excursions to other islands or just along the beautiful coast line, car hire is also possible or guests can rent bikes, and quad bikes or scooters all from the local tourist office.
