About the villa

Relaxing, refreshing and peacefully positioned, the very contemporary Crystal Cove is thoughtfully planned and for a water-based, winding-down family holiday. Overlooking the sea, amid rock-garden grounds, an inviting pool has a shallow section for youngsters, a brick-paved terrace with parasols and cushioned timber loungers, and a comfortably furnished poolside gazebo. And a footpath leads from here to water’s edge sunbathing platforms on the rocks, a private boat mooring and a pebble beach. The villa itself is bright and informal, with a sleek and stylish dining kitchen on the ground floor, opening out to a shaded dining area and built-in barbecue; and, on the upper floor, a gym, sauna, pool table, and a spacious sitting room with big leather sofas and doors to a sea view terrace with sundowner seating.Fully air-conditioned, the house has four double bedrooms, each with en suite bath or shower room, a three-bed room for children, and a family bathroom. Close to the medieval walled town of Ston, and seafood restaurants in the harbour village of Mali Ston, Crystal Cove is a 45km drive from historic Dubrovnik
