Historic Croatian luxury villa near Dubrovnik, with private terraces overlooking the Adriatic Sea
The luxury villa rental was originally built as a summer retreat for Dubrovnik aristocrats. As a wonderful example of Dubrovnik Renaissance architecture, it is a registered Croatian National Heritage monument.Full Description
This luxury villa to rent in the picturesque bay of Zaton is just a 10 minute drive from Dubrovnik. Dating from the 15th century, and offering both a beautiful waterfront location, and complete privacy.
The present owner has renovated the property to its former glory, retaining historic features such as the original stone staircase while, at the same time, adding contemporary design and modern comforts. Entrance to this private luxury villa to rent near Dubrovnik, surrounded by its large stone walls, is from the main waterfront promenade, into a furnished courtyard, with the main entrance to the house. An outdoor staircase also leads from the courtyard to a very modern glass bridge which connects the two outdoor terraces on the first floor, with their stunning views over the sea, and the marina – a perfect spot for a sunset glass of wine while enjoying the views.
Behind this luxury vacation villa close to Dubrovnik, is a secluded Mediterranean garden extending over 1500m², with local plants including citrus and olive trees, lavender and herbs. There is also a swimming pool, and a shaded area with seating, and a barbecue. Specially designed indoor and outdoor lightning, plus Sonos and Bose sound systems throughout the property, create a special atmosphere during the day and by night. A private chapel also sits in a quiet corner of the garden.
