Facing Dubrovnik's 16th-century fortress of Lovrijenac, this exquisite villa sits within the atmospheric Old Town – a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Just around the corner from authentic restaurants and characterful boutiques, you'll enjoy easy access to everything the Pearl of the Adriatic has to offer. Perhaps you'll head to the coastline and relax 800 metres away at Banje Beach, or how about chartering a luxury yacht instead? With a postcard vista of the shimmering sea and warm-hued townscape, we can't think of a better place to retire to at sunset than the bedroom balcony. Indoors, there's no denying that his central home oozes contemporary class with its stylish design, as every room is a sight for sore eyes. Spoiled for choice when it comes to intimate seating areas, the multi-level outdoor space is where you'll dip your toes in the plunge pool after sightseeing. Fancy a Croatian barbecue with cevapcici? Simply descend the staircase to the leafy terrace and make plans for tomorrow over an alfresco dinner.
