Villa Sophie was constructed in the fifteenth century as a holiday home for a noble family wanting to escape the city heat and entertain friends in this prime location. Centuries later it has been brought back to life under the careful supervision of the Croatian National Heritage. Great care has been taken to restore many historical features such as the original stone open stair-case and the private chapel. Yet the owners have boldly added contemporary designs such as the striking glass bridge between the two upper sea-view terraces and the ultra-smart professional kitchen, a perfect excuse for hiring a private chef during your stay.
The overall feel of the villa and its six bedrooms is one of a relaxed historical ambience with modern comforts and design surrounding you. Across the vast open-plan living and dining areas you’ll easily find a corner to relax in or head up to the library with doors leading to a magnificent terrace overlooking the sea. A Bose sound-system plus specially designed lighting both inside and out helps to create the perfect atmosphere, ideal for events which can be organised here.
The vast gardens will surprise with Mediterranean scents, spots for sun-bathing, dining al-fresco or lounging with a glass of chilled local wine, all within a private and tranquil setting. It will be hard to leave the surroundings of your private swimming pool but within a few minutes walk you can be paddling in the Adriatic or taking a boat trip to nearby islands.
In Zaton Bay you can walk along the beautiful promenade, stopping in one of the sea-front restaurants and admiring the views. The town has a peaceful and relaxed ambience and it is hard to believe that incredible city of Dubrovnik, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is so near.
It's true to say you will feel like an aristocrat in this luxurious and historical home in this simply wonderful part of Croatia.
- The four stunning suites upstairs are split-level with a king-size bed on the gallery
- Kids will absolutely love the space but small children do need to be supervised in the terraced gardens and on the original stone open stair-case
- Due to the historical nature of the villa, the internet connection can be intermittent at times
- Please note, if you are arriving by car, you must provide the supplier with your license plate details prior to arrival due to traffic restrictions in Dubrovnik.
