Where On the north side of Čiovo island, within a 15-minute drive of mainland Croatia. One of the island’s two bridges links to the old town of Trogir, a Unesco World Heritage Site located on its own tiny island that is connected to the mainland via another bridge.
Why A heated infinity pool, a Jacuzzi, a gym, a sauna and a basketball court.
House, Istria, €699,000

Where The Istrian countryside, a five-minute drive from the village of Muntrilj — half an hour inland from the peninsula’s west-coast resort town of Poreč.
Why Surrounded by lush greenery, the house’s walled garden features a swimming pool, terraces and an open stone barbecue. There is a standalone games room with floor-to-ceiling windows.
Two villas, Dubrovnik-Neretva, €5.175mn
