Villa Lorena , Riviera

Sleeps 14 guests, 7 bedrooms, 5 bathrooms

DESCRIPTION

Set against a backdrop of verdant hills along the Dubrovnik Riviera, this luxury, air conditioned villa with pool is surrounded by a typical Mediterranean garden and boasts several terraces overlooking the nearby Elaphiti islands. The coast is within 1km of Villa Lorena as are the nearest shops and restaurants situated in the small town of Orasac, just 10km north of Dubrovnik.

The interior decor is elegant and furnished with a mix of modern and classic furniture, and gracefully embellished with artworks by renowned artists. A large party of friends or extended families will have plenty of space to enjoy together or alone at this substantial self-catering villa. Seven individually appointed, air conditioned bedrooms are all equipped with flat screen TV, five of which have access to balconies with magnificent sea views. Whether you like cooking or prefer to hire the services of a professional chef, the summer kitchen under the covered terrace provides the perfect spot in which to enjoy your holiday meals al fresco, especially with a bottle of good Croatian wine!

The small town of Orasac offers a selection of shops and konobas (=local taverns) as a convenient alternative to dining at home. You can visit different beaches every day - the Hawaii beach is one of the best in the area with a combination of sand and shingle - and practise snorkelling in the crystal clear water. Just off the coast are some of the most beautiful and unspoilt islands in the Adriatic - Kalocep, and Sipan are the only inhabited islands in the Elaphite archipelago and well worth visiting. Almost on your doorstep is Trsteno , a lush Renaissance garden which is open to the public. Known as the 'Pearl of the Adriatic' Dubrovnik is within 10 km of Villa Lorena. Its Medieval and Baroque quarter is a UNESCO world heritage site and is protected within its thick walls. Inside the walls you find an array of cafes, restaurants, konobas, and shops, especially along the Stradun (the main road), but also church domes, fountains, monasteries and fortified city gates. Group excursions by kayak are strongly recommended and very popular with children and adult alike. From the top of Mount Srd, easy to reach by cable car from Dubrovnik, you can enjoy some striking panoramic views over the city and the sea. And, if you are a fan of Games of Thrones, remember that this popular TV series was filmed in Dubrovnik so look around for any familiar spots!
