Location
About the surrounding area of Villa OctaviaSet amid the southern Croatian countryside, Villa Octavia is in an ideal location for you to create family memories together.
On your doorstep, spend a couple of hours visiting Sokol Grad, a medieval castle. Once used as a defensive fortress, this castle is located on top of a 25-metre-high crag, and today, it hosts displays of historical artefacts and details of the castle’s history. The name Sokol Grad means ‘Falcon Town’, mimicking the bird’s eye view of the valley and surrounding area the castle has.
Travel north to the famous city of Dubrovnik and experience the history of Croatia. Due to its Mediterranean climate, Dubrovnik is guaranteed to have an abundance of sunny days. A maze of terracotta rooftops and narrow streets, Dubrovnik is a tourist hotspot for witnessing the culture and history of this region. The architecture is unique and filled with sculptures, archways and engravings. Listed as a UNESCO world heritage site, the old town’s architecture was completed in the 13th century, giving a glimpse into what it looked like all those years ago. Those who enjoyed Game of Thrones will recognise Dubrovnik as the setting of many scenes throughout the seasons.
The old town was encircled by a large stone wall in the 16th century which still stands today. The wall runs directly to the shoreline and is a prominent icon on the city’s architectural skyline. A popular city walk is the ‘Walls of Dubrovnik’ which can easily be self-guided or in a tour group and reflects Croatia’s historical past.
Six fortresses are spectacled along the wall, including the Lovrijenac fortress. Built in the 16th century on a 37-metre rock-face fortress Lovrijenac provides an impressive backdrop for local theatres to perform many theatrical performances.
Experience the cooling waves of the Adriatic Sea and head to the coast for a relaxing swim, an adventurous kayaking tour or an educational boat tour.

Kids
Best Suited For: All AgesVilla Octavia has plenty of room for the whole family to enjoy a relaxing holiday in Croatia. Inside, the twin beds in the main room are great for children sharing a room, giving them and you, personal space. The living and dining room is an ideal space for family bonding. However, you can also dine on either of the two outdoor dining tables for a change of ambience during dinner time.
There is plenty of outdoor space for children to enjoy under the sunshine. The pool is completely private and great for the whole family to enjoy. Parents should be cautious of children playing outside as the patio is made mainly of tiles.
Croatia is an excellent place for the whole family to come together. Families will love exploring Dubrovnik’s 13th-century old town streets and fortresses and taste local cuisine along the way. The whole family can transport themselves into a real-life adventure in the Adriatic Sea. Explore it with boat rides and kayaking tours or see what’s under the surface and go snorkelling! Please note some water sports have age restrictions, so check before booking.
