The villa is located in Croatia's southernmost town, Cavtat, built on a pine-scented peninsula. The medieval town occupies one half the peninsula, the forest covers the other. The villa is on the edge of either. Over 400 year old, it has all modern conveniences, such as a state-of-the-art kitchen, while its old charm has been retained. Cavtat features among the most beautiful towns in Croatia. Its boulevard overlooks a splendid bay, and is lined with restaurants, cafés, and super yachts. It boasts better beaches than Dubrovnik, which is within easy reach by boat or bus. Cavtat is an upmarket town in an upmarket region. Discos are banned in the old town, and the only buzz comes from the restaurant- and café-terraces on the palm-lined boulevard. Yet, even this buzz cannot be heard from the villa, which is built on the top of a small hill (40-odd steps).
This traditional stone house is just about 150m from the old town promenade with the cafes, restaurants and shops. The house can be reached either from the main parking (a 100m path with some 40 steps) or from the town promenade (a slightly longer but less steep climb through medieval streets). However, the house is not convenient for people with walking difficulties.
Entering the property you will find yourself on a spacious and furnished terrace dominated by a huge bougainvillea, and orange and lemon trees. The terrace is a perfect getaway to the sunny beaches that line peninsula, all of which can be reached by foot in 5 to 10min.
The main entrance leads you into the fully equipped kitchen, beyond which there is a partially separated dining area for 8 people and living area with a television set (Netflix, Chromcast) and DVD-player (with a collection of films). The internal stair case leads you to the first floor with a double bedroom and en-suit bathroom with shower, a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom with shower. The second (top) floor has one more double bedroom and twin bedroom, as well as and a separate bathroom with shower. Both top floor bedrooms have lovely views of Tiha bay.
The house is fully air conditioned with units in each bedroom, the kitchen and the living room, and on the top floor landing. There is Internet Wi-Fi and the utility room in outside area equipped with a washing machine and a tumble-dryer.
The closest beach is a rock beach just 100m from the house where you can also find water sports center. Banks, shops, a (modest) green and fish market, a pharmacy and the post office are within a 5-10min walk.
This villa radiates old world charm beauty and is perfect for family or group of friends looking for the Mediterranean way of life.
There is no private parking as the house is situated within the pedestrian area of the old town, but there is a public parking down by the sea. It is paid and a parking card can be provided for 300kn (this was the last year’s fee and will probably remain the same).
