Located in the old district Zelići in Brela, just 200 meters from the sea, this fully renovated traditional stone house offers an authentic Dalmatian atmosphere with all the comforts of a modern stay. Surrounded by century-old stone homes and Mediterranean nature, it’s ideal for families or small groups looking for peace, character, and close proximity to the beach. The house spans three floors and accommodates up to 5 guests. On the ground floor, there is a spacious living area with a fully equipped kitchen and dining space. The first floor features a bedroom with a double bed and a private bathroom (shower/WC), with direct access to the terrace and pool. On the second floor, there is another bedroom with a double bed and a private bathroom (shower/WC). An additional single bed is provided in this room when the house is booked for 5 guests. All floors are connected by an internal staircase. The outdoor area includes two terraces – one with a private swimming pool and sun loungers, and the other with a dining table, summer kitchen, and a traditional stone barbecue, perfect for enjoying meals outdoors. Private parking is also available. The whole house is equipped with the air conditioning, free WiFi, TV, a washing machine, and all essential kitchen appliances. From the terrace, guests can enjoy beautiful views of the sea, nearby islands, and the Biokovo mountain rising above the old district. Brela is one of the most charming destinations on the Adriatic coast, known for its white pebble beaches, pine forests, crystal-clear sea, and relaxed Mediterranean vibe – a perfect place to unwind and experience authentic coastal living. Here, tradition meets comfort in the most picturesque corner of Dalmatia – the kind of place you'll want return to again and again.
Your host, a financial director, has been managing accommodation independently since 2016, carrying forward a cherished family tradition. He is committed to making sure every guest enjoys authentic Dalmatian hospitality and feels warmly welcomed during their stay.
The old district of Zelići, where the house is located, is surrounded by traditional stone-built homes that truly capture the spirit and heritage of Dalmatia. Nearby stands the impressive historic Church of St. Stephen, a remarkable landmark adding to the area’s charm. This neighborhood offers an ideal location with all essential amenities close at hand, making it a perfect base for exploring the region. Split is just 70 kilometers away, while Dubrovnik is approximately 185 kilometers from here.
