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.

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.
