Green Gate Gardens

If absolute rest and relaxation are what you’re looking for, this holiday home is just the ticket. Tucked away in the small village of Put Ljubotića, this 400-year-old home has been recently transformed into a cosy holiday house.

The pretty house is as traditional as they come, with wooden shutters, original stone walls, and lush gardens. The open-plan layout ensures that it feels bright and airy inside, whether you’re enjoying breakfast together or lounging on the comfy sofas.

Outside, you’ll find a marvellous terrace that boasts sea views. This charming home is 330 metres above sea level, so it’s also blessed with views of the Velebit mountains.

You’ll likely spend most of your time dozing in the sunshine of the garden, revelling in the tranquillity of this rural home. If you do want to get out and explore though, you can stroll to the centre of the village in twelve minutes. Admire the traditional homes and learn a little of the cultural and historical heritage before meandering back for alfresco dinner under the shade of the trees. Duboka Kruščica beach is an eighteen-minute walk, or a three-minute drive – dive into the clear water and feel all your worries float away.
