About the villa

Peacefully cushioned in countryside and approached along a tree-lined avenue, Villa Renaissance nestles in walled grounds, well designed for outdoor living, and encompassing a little pebble-banked pond, a boules pitch, badminton court and children’s play area, and an inviting pool with Jacuzzi, timber sundecks and a curtained poolside gazebo. A garden room within the grounds has a dining room and kitchenette; and the villa’s central courtyard is a very private place, planted with bright bougainvillea and tubs of flowering shrubs, and furnished with a shaded dining area and a rustic table, under tall palms, beside a built-in barbecue. 
Part of a heritage protected country estate, the villa itself is a late 16^th century house, where gothic and renaissance features frame traditionally furnished rooms, complemented by mod-cons from full air conditioning to WiFi and satellite TV. A professionally equipped dining kitchen opens into the effortlessly elegant sitting room; and the villa has five double bedrooms, styled with charming simplicity. Within 1km of a long beach, restaurant and café, bank and bakery, the house is 5km from the historic heart of Dubrovnik.
