Description

Introducing Villa Gomila, a timeless retreat nestled in the enchanting Zaton Bay, just a short 10-minute drive from the renowned Dubrovnik, known as the Pearl of the Adriatic. This splendid estate is an exquisite haven, boasting six generously appointed bedrooms, surrounded by lush Mediterranean gardens with a private outdoor pool and a secluded chapel. Villa Gomila is a perfect sanctuary for both families and groups of friends, accommodating up to fourteen guests.

Originally constructed in the 15th century, Villa Gomila was envisioned as a luxurious summer escape for aristocrats seeking respite from the sun-soaked cobblestones of Dubrovnik's Old Town. It was designed as a place for relaxation, indulgence, and the enjoyment of cherished moments with friends and family. The villa's main entrance is nestled at the quiet end of Zaton Bay, right along the waterfront promenade. As you step into the southern courtyard, the villa's massive stone walls exude an air of exclusivity and seclusion, offering a distinct atmosphere that sets it apart from contemporary villas.

The courtyard is furnished with inviting outdoor sofas and is centered around a striking glass bridge, which spans the courtyard, connecting two outdoor terraces on the first floor. From the courtyard, you can access the main villa, a spacious 580-square-meter expanse spread across two levels. The interior design showcases the use of traditional local materials like Croatian stone, tufa, top-quality wood, and glass, resulting in a harmonious blend of modern minimalism, cozy warmth, and original historical details, some of which date back over 500 years. These details include the stone staircase in the entrance foyer and intricate stonework within the library wall niches. The villa's interior is both airy and expansive, offering a multitude of unique spaces that make everyone feel at home.

The entrance foyer, at the heart of the ground floor, serves as both a welcoming area and a lounge. To the right of the foyer, two double bedrooms with unique features are equipped with private bathrooms and direct garden access. Additionally, this area houses a laundry room with a washer and dryer. On the ground floor, you'll find a fully equipped professional kitchen, a cozy living room with a fireplace, and an impressive dining area dominated by a massive, one-piece table crafted from wood and stone, capable of seating 16 guests. A historic staircase from the entrance foyer leads to the first floor.

The central space on the upper floor serves as a library, formerly a salon, and is bathed in natural light with high ceilings, large windows, and double doors leading to one of the two terraces on this level. The first floor accommodates four luxurious suites, each spanning two levels and following a similar layout: a comfortable lounge and a modern bathroom with a walk-in shower and heated floors on the lower level, while a wooden staircase leads to the gallery with a king-size double bed on the upper level.

The true gem of Villa Gomila lies behind the main house, concealed by towering stone walls. The terraced Mediterranean gardens span over 1500 square meters, offering a fragrant, peaceful, and private oasis. Immerse yourself in the scents of local flora like citrus trees, olives, and lavender, and pick fresh herbs from the garden for your culinary creations. The gardens also feature an inviting outdoor pool, a shaded lounge area, and an outdoor grill, making them the perfect place to spend most of your time. At the rear of the gardens, you'll discover the idyllic chapel of St. Jerome, an integral part of this magnificent estate.
