Land of a Thousand Islands

Holiday Rental Description

Nestled on the Dubrovnik riviera, surrounded by rocky coast, natural bays and vineyards, this elegant villa is perfectly placed for exploring one of Croatia's most famous cities. Boasting a covered patio, start your days with brunch under the pergola, and soak up the magnificent scenery the surrounds you.

Post breakfast, it's time to get out and explore. Dubrovnik offers plenty to see and do, from pretty beaches to gothic towns. If you're into hiking, you simply have to take a day trip to Mljet island– it's around an hour away by boat. The beauty of the island's National Park is enchanting, thanks to dense, unspoilt forest, ancient ruins and saltwater lakes. Mljet is one of the few Croatian National Parks that permits swimming, so be sure to experience a dip in the deep blue pools and make the most of it.

Before you head home, pick up some of the fresh seafood that Dubrovnik is famed for. The fully-equipped kitchen allows you to get creative and try cooking some Croatian dishes – grilled fish is a local delicacy and highly recommended. Tuck in alfresco around the outdoor dining table, then relax with a cooling dip in the infinity pool. Make sure you get front row seats to the spectacular sunset by going up to the balcony – the ocean views from up there are truly breathtaking.
