About Donje Selo
Donje Selo means lower village. It is a farming village of around 160 people on the north-western edge of the fertile Donje polje field, beside the road between Maslinica and the middle of the island. St Martin's church was built at its southern edge in the second half of the 14th century, and the fishing harbour of Donja Krušica belongs to the village. Small local winemakers sell wine directly here. Most homes have a garden, fewer than half have a private pool, and they are spread over several kilometres of countryside around the village.

Donje Selo villa holidays: questions answered
How do you reach Donje Selo from Split?
By ferry across the Split Channel to Rogač or Stomorska, then onward by road. Buses run from the Rogač ferry port to Donje Selo, though a car gives much more freedom around the island.
Can you buy local wine in Donje Selo?
Yes. Small local winemakers sell wine directly in the village. DNA analysis links the island's Dobričić grape to Zinfandel, though nearly all of the island's wine is made for growers' own use.
Donje Selo or Maslinica for a stay on Šolta?
Pick Donje Selo for gardens and farmland, set beside the road between Maslinica and the island's centre. Pick Maslinica if you want to be by a fishing harbour that is sheltered from all but north-westerly winds.
Is Donje Selo good for families?
Mostly yes, because most homes here have a garden and many sleep six or more. The village has little tourism of its own, so plan on driving for restaurants and the sea.
