Smilčić lies 11 km northwest of Benkovac and 20 km east of Zadar, offering a convenient balance between peaceful surroundings and access to city life. Nature lovers can explore the region’s natural attractions, including Kornati National Park, Krka National Park, Telašćica Nature Park, and Plitvice Lakes.
The highlight of the villa is its outdoor area. A large private swimming pool surrounded by sun loungers invites you to relax and cool off on warm days, while the fully fenced property provides privacy throughout your stay. Next to the pool, a covered dining area with a summer kitchen offers the perfect setting for preparing delicious meals and gathering with family and friends. Rustic stone walls add character to the property and inspired the villa’s name.
Inside, the villa offers a comfortable setting for families and groups of friends.

Die Gastgeberin war so nett! Hatte immer etwas als Geschenk (Gemüse aus den Garten, Willkommenskorb) bereit
Sebastian Feischl, October 16th, 2026Wir hatten eine sehr gute Zeit in der Unterkunft. Alles war vorhanden. Die Außenküche und der Grill sind super! Im Poolbereich mit den Liegen konnten wir super entspannen. Die Unterkunft liegt etwas außerhalb von Zadar und von Stränden. Aber mit dem Auto ist alles in kurzer Zeit zu erreichen. Super Ort zum runterkommen, beisammen sein und zusammen kochen. Die Gastgeberin war super freundlich und ging auf uns ein. Alles ist mit sehr viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet.
Melanie He, September 23rd, 2026Die Villa ist wunderschön, sehr sauber und mit unglaublich viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet. Besonders toll fanden wir den Außenbereich mit Außenküche, Essbereich und Pool. Auch Ana war eine sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Gastgeberin.
Lucie Madsack, August 16th, 2026The Villa was absolutely amazing. From we were greated by the lovely hosts to we left, we enjoyed staying in the Villa. The hosts were always available for help and questions throughout our stay. The Villa was beautiful, made with many beautifully decorated details, and the best part was the outdoor kitchen/dining area which we used a lot. As well as the pool area, the whole property was high quality. We’ll definitely come back one day.
BRIAN SAMUEL, August 6th, 2026Fantastisk villa. Alt hvad man har brug for og mere til. Vi satte specielt pris på det skønne udekøkken. Stort køl- og frys. Masser af plads. Smukt indrettet både ude og inde. Store parasoller og en fantastisk pool. Serviceminded ejer.
Ekstra toilet ved pool.
Ejeren kom med tomater og peberfrugter fra egen have. Dejligt!
Beliggenheden kræver bil, da den lille by ikke har det vilde at byde på. Dog to små supermarkeder. Ingen spisesteder. Men tæt på Zadar, som har alt. God mad, butikker, havn og mulighed for skønne ture ud til øerne. Halvanden times kørsel fra huset ligger nationalparken Plivicesøerne.???????? Fantastisk!
Smukt gammelt hus med skønne udeområder og pool. Var helt vild med udekøkkenet som vi benyttede hver dag. Smukt udført, renoveret med rigtig mange detaljer, pyntet med personligt touch, gode muligheder for både skygge og sol, og rigeligt med plads. Og ejerne var virkelig søde og rare. Tog godt imod os ved ankomst, havde stillet lidt godter og koldt vand frem ved ankomst. Kom forbi midt på ugen for at rense poolen. Stillede på samme tidspunkt en stor kurv med diverse grøntsager fra egen have. Virkelig lækkert! Bestemt et sted vi kan anbefale alle, vi kommer gerne igen! Selvom det er beliggende cirka 20 min fra Zadar by gjorde det os slet ikke noget. Man skal dog have en bil for at komme rundt. Men god beliggenhed for diverse udflugter.
BRIAN SAMUEL, August 2nd, 2026We received a warm welcome to the villa with a personal touch and a tour of all rooms and facilities which helped us feel at home. It's a rustic villa with a heated pool and modern outdoor facilities. All the rooms are clean and have airconditioning. We would recommend.

Max Hegeman, July 18th, 2026Wir wurden von den Gastgebern sehr herzlich empfangen und haben uns von Anfang an rundum wohlgefühlt. Die Unterkunft war sehr sauber, liebevoll gepflegt und bot alles, was man für einen erholsamen Urlaub benötigt.
Unser Aufenthalt in der Villa Rustica war unvergesslich – wir konnten wunderbar entspannen und uns richtig verwöhnen lassen. Die angenehme Atmosphäre und die Gastfreundschaft haben unseren Urlaub zu etwas ganz Besonderem gemacht.
Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen und können die Villa Rustica uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen! Vielen Dank für diese schöne Zeit!
We had the most amazing stay! The villa was absolutely beautiful, we especially enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and the pool! We will definitely be back!
Sophie Black, June 24th, 2026Wir hatten einen tollen Aufenthalt in der Villa Rustica. Wir wurden nett empfangen und es war alles sehr sauber. Man konnte sehen, dass von den Vermietern viel Mühe in die Unterkunft gesteckt wurde und es fehlte uns an nichts. :)
Rica, October 9th, 2025Thank you, Mrs Ana, for your hospitality. We had a great time at this beautiful villa with an open kitchen area, illuminated garden and swimming pool, and cosy modern rooms and bathrooms. The place looks exactly as shown in the pictures, and the host is very friendly and helpful. Mrs Ana prepared us some snacks and samples of local produce, and even some baby food, knowing that we had an early flight, which was extremely thoughtful and well above and beyond our expectations. They also sell homemade olive oil for tasting, which is delightful and tasty. Overall, we had a great holiday - one to remember!
Vadims, September 23rd, 2025Even better than it looks in the photos!! The owners have created a beautiful home-from-home destination in Smilcic which we were delighted by. The fixtures, fittings and appliances are of a high standard, the furniture - including beds - are very comfortable, the decor very tasteful and the details enchanting (ask about the work-bench in the outdoor kitchen). We loved the hot shower next to the pool, the outdoor kitchen with the wood-fired stove option (there is an electric oven in the house too), and the laundry facilities were very handy. Smilicic is a peaceful village well served by two small supermarkets within safe walking distance. We enjoyed the home-grown fruit and vegetables which the owner brought, and the home pressed olive oil. I highly recommend staying here!
Joanne Cotton, August 27th, 2025Magiskt semesterhus! Ett av de finaste husen vi hyrt – perfekt för vår familj på 8 personer. Uteköket och poolområdet var fantastiska, och ägaren var så trevlig och välkomnande. Vi hoppas verkligen få komma tillbaka!
Åsa, July 28th, 2025Piękna willa. Całość przemyślana i wykonana idealnie dal komfortu i wygody gości. Grill i stół na zewnątrz super na kolacje. Basen. Zewnętrzny prysznic oraz osobna toaleta przy basenie. Nie jestem w stanie wymienić jednej rzeczy, która mogłaby być zrobiona lepiej. Wygląd i aranżacja miejsca bardzo ładnie. Z właścicielami można swobodnie porozmawiać po angielsku i są bardzo mili. Produkują pyszną oliwę. Bliskie położenie zatoki, w którym jest cieplejsza woda niż w otwartym morzu oraz piękne pobliskie miasteczko Novi Grad z pysznym jedzeniem.
Wojciech, July 22nd, 2025Review – Two-Week Dream Holiday at Villa Rustica (Zadar Villas) in Smilčić We spent two wonderful weeks at Villa Rustica, part of Zadar Villas in Smilčić, Croatia, and we can’t say enough good things about it! From the moment we arrived, we were warmly welcomed by the hosts – super friendly, attentive, and always helpful. We immediately felt at home, like visiting friends. Throughout our stay, they were always available and took care of everything without ever being intrusive. The house itself was in perfect condition – spotlessly clean, very well-maintained, and thoughtfully decorated. Nothing was missing. The amenities were excellent, both indoors and outdoors. There were six of us, and we had plenty of space to relax, cook, and enjoy our time together. The pool was an absolute highlight – clean, beautifully designed, and perfect for cooling off or spending a relaxing day in the sun. The entire outdoor area was ideal for cozy evenings or simply unwinding. The location in Smilčić is peaceful and idyllic, yet still well-connected. Zadar, beautiful beaches, and nearby attractions are all easily accessible by car. Conclusion: We would absolutely stay at Villa Rustica again and highly recommend it to anyone. If you’re looking for a clean, relaxing, and welcoming place for your holiday in Croatia, this is it! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Nils Göwecke, July 14th, 2025Super sauber! Super schön! Super schnelle Kommunikation! Gerne nächstes Jahr wieder
Ioanna Io, June 7th, 2025Super netter Austausch! Großer Pool, saubere Zimmer in denen man sich wie zu Hause gefühlt hat! Und es gab zwei Küchen mit zwei Kühlschränken!!!!! Es war toll. Danke für alles wir haben uns super wohl gefühlt.
Ioanna, June 2nd, 2025´The house was beautiful. It was very clean and the pool too. A lot of private area in this house and plot. The landlords are lovely people. One time we got vegetables from they garden. That was nice. They always asked if we need everything else or if we need help. Our holiday was amazing. We want to come back.
