"Operation Croatian Villa”, as it is called, is a clever marketing move, modeled according to the well-tried international pattern, by a Split based company „Profiniti“.
Rules are pretty straight forward. Profiniti Company is selling threelingual “Book about Dalmatia” (Croatian, English and German) in digital form (CD) for 160 Kuna. Each book has a code and at the end of “Operation Croatian Villa”, after 50.000 books will be sold, one of buyers, whose code will be randomly retrieved under a supervision of a three-member commission and a public notary, will get an incredible chance to buy a real villa in Croatia for only 1 Kuna.
The estimated end of Operation "Villa-Croatia" is 30 September 2009. If the required number of participants is reached before that, Operation "Villa-Croatia" will end earlier. If there are not enough participants until then, the management of Profiniti d.o.o. can postpone the end for 15 days. There is always the possibility that there will not be enough participants. Of course Profiniti says that they cannot give the house away in that case, so in case of such scenario they have created a table with substitute products ranging from mobile phones to luxury apartment, depending on the final number of buyers of the book.
The book itself, if anybody is interested, is dedicated to Dalmatia and it’s beauty, its charms but also its problems. It is dedicated to the people that live there, the tourists that go there and the ones seeking a better life somewhere else! As they say, authors will introduce you to chosen places, locations, events, traditions, food and the way of life in the Croatian south. The book is written in three languages: Croatian, English and German.
And for those who are more interested in the villa itself, the villa is situated on the island of Šolta, only 15 km (9 nautical miles) from the second biggest town of Croatia – Split. The house is located in Maslinica village, on the southwest part of the island.
The size of the plot is 401m² (4320 sq ft), the size of the house 140m² (1500 sq ft) (70+70 m² each floor). It was built in 2007. The house is like a luxury two-floor apartment.

Maslinica is the only Solta’s village situated in the cove of the western part of the island. It has beautiful scenery of picturesque cove and pinewood in the southern side and also of its well-protected cove of Sesul and archipelago of seven islands. On the largest of them in the 5th and 6th century an old Christian church with monastery was built and today there are a lot of remains of it. The natural meaning of olive scenery complete historical-architectonic and environmental values of baroque castle and picturesque local houses. Maslinica was made in 1703 when an aristocratic family Marchi asked from a Venetian “providur” permission to found a new settlement and to build a castle with towers for defense of frequent pirate attacks. Today the castle is turned into an attractive and a very famous restaurant "Conte Alberti". Today Maslinica is very attractive for tourists who want a complete peace during day and night. Since Maslinica is a traditional village, a modern beach with tourist attractions doesn’t exist here. In the cove of Tepli Bok there is a smaller beach, but the main beauty of this village is that in any cove you can find a solitary place for swimming.- Order “Book about Dalmatia” and more information about Operation Croatian Villa
