Villa Linka I | 5-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool in Orasac
Holiday Home Rental Description
Ten guests, five king-size bedrooms, one unobstructed view of the Adriatic that makes first-time arrivals stop mid-sentence. Villa Linka I stands in Orašac, a village of 600 residents on Croatia’s Dalmatian coast, ten kilometres south of Dubrovnik’s walled Old Town. From here, the sea glints between cypress trees, and the air carries the mineral scent of salt water mixed with wild herbs from the limestone hills behind.
Inside Villa Linka I
Villa Linka I sleeps 10 guests across 5 bedrooms and 6 bathrooms. The property divides across three levels, each connected by interior steps that descend toward the water.
The ground floor holds the main living hub: an open-plan kitchen with breakfast bar and full appliances sits adjacent to a dining zone and generous living area. Pale stone floors reflect Mediterranean light through full-width glass doors that frame the terrace beyond. One bedroom occupies this level—a king-size room with flexible twin-bed option and ensuite bathroom with shower. Air conditioning and floor-to-ceiling windows position this room as an ideal ground-floor suite for guests with mobility considerations or those who prefer evening terrace access without climbing stairs.
The first floor contains four additional bedrooms, each with ensuite facilities. Three rooms feature king-size beds with ensuite bathrooms. The fourth bedroom offers two single beds with ensuite bathroom, creating flexible sleeping arrangements for families or groups. All windows frame views across the terrace toward the Adriatic. Thick stone walls and efficient air-conditioning systems maintain cool interiors even during August heatwaves. Beds arrive dressed in crisp cotton linens; guests find fresh towels replenished daily through the included maid service.
The lower pool level houses a summer kitchenette and sauna room—a secondary cooking space for outdoor entertaining and a steam facility for post-swim recovery. This level opens directly onto the pool terrace, making it the natural hub for daytime activities.
Practical amenities throughout include Wi-Fi covering all areas, television with satellite channels, full laundry facilities (washing machine and dryer), and iron with ironing board. High chairs are available on request for families with infants. Parking accommodates multiple vehicles on the villa’s private drive.
Outdoor Spaces and Living
The exterior defines the Villa Linka I experience. A terraced landscape descends from the main living area through multiple entertaining zones to the water-facing pool level.
The upper terrace functions as the formal outdoor room. Stone-built garden sofas cluster beneath lemon and pine trees (their fragrance intensifies in evening heat). A substantial dining table seats ten, with outdoor lighting enabling late dinners under star-thick skies. Floor-to-ceiling glass doors from the living area fold back completely, erasing the boundary between interior and exterior.
Steps lead downward past sun lounger clusters—enough for simultaneous sunbathing across the 10-guest capacity. An outdoor shower positioned on the descent offers fresh-water rinsing before or after pool time. Architectural features like this prevent sand and salt tracking into interior spaces and provide the practical luxury of al-fresco washing while maintaining property condition.
The infinity-edge swimming pool forms the visual anchor. The water reflects sky and coastline, deepening the sensation that the property extends directly into the Adriatic. A Jacuzzi sits adjacent to pool loungers. The pool maintains temperature year-round through heating systems included in the rental. A built-in barbecue stands ready for grilled seafood or traditional Dalmatian lamb, with the stone pizza oven alternative common in neighboring villas.
The property sits on natural ground sloping toward the sea—no flat artificial terraces requiring constant maintenance. Native vegetation provides natural screening from neighboring properties while minimizing the manicured resort feeling. This creates genuine privacy despite the villa’s proximity to Orašac village center.
Location: Orašac and the Surrounding Area
Orašac occupies a narrow coastal strip where Dalmatian hillsides descend directly to the Adriatic. The village preserves a working fishing community character: small family restaurants operate from converted waterfront homes, and the morning fish market on the village quay operates year-round. Supermarkets in central Orašac lie 800 metres from Villa Linka I—walkable for daily supplies or leisurely morning shopping.
Dubrovnik’s Old Town lies 10 kilometres north by car (approximately 15 minutes). This UNESCO World Heritage site draws two million visitors annually to its limestone streets, Sponza Palace, and 2-kilometre city walls. The Pile Gate provides main entrance; from here, the Stradun (main street) runs through the medieval core, lined with restaurants, galleries, and perfume shops. The Onofrio Fountain marks the Old Town’s far end. Lokrum Island sits 500 metres offshore, accessible by 10-minute water taxi from Dubrovnik harbour—a botanical garden and hiking destination in a single afternoon excursion.
The Elafiti Islands lie 5 kilometres west across open water. Charter boats operate from Dubrovnik marina offering day cruises to Koločep, Lopud, and Šipan. These islands feature quiet beaches, monastery ruins, and seafood restaurants on piers where water laps directly beneath dining tables. Speedboat operators also run from Dubrovnik for those seeking faster island-hopping itineraries.
Korčula Island, famous for Marco Polo’s supposed birthplace and exceptional local red wine, sits 30 kilometres south—a two-hour ferry from Dubrovnik. The island’s walled town rivals Old Town Dubrovnik in medieval authenticity while remaining far less crowded. Local wineries near Korčula’s Grk grape region produce distinctive white wines unavailable outside the region.
Zaton lies 2 kilometres west along the coast, offering sandy beaches (rare in rocky Dalmatia) and family-friendly bathing facilities. Cavtat, 15 kilometres south, provides an alternative to Dubrovnik with slower pace, excellent seafood restaurants, and the art collections of the Baltazzi House museum.

Seasonal considerations: May and September offer optimal conditions—warm water (22°C), manageable crowds, and afternoon temperatures between 24-28°C. July and August see peak tourism and temperatures exceeding 30°C, with correspondingly higher accommodation rates. April and October remain pleasant for walking and boating but water temperatures drop below 20°C. November through March experiences occasional rain and rough seas, though winter rentals appeal to couples seeking solitude.
Who This Villa Suits Best
Extended family groups of 8-10 find Villa Linka I ideal. The five ensuite bedrooms eliminate bathroom queuing, and ground-floor accessibility accommodates elderly members. Two kitchens enable simultaneous meal preparation for different dietary preferences.
Professional friend groups benefit from the separation between social spaces (lower pool terrace and upper dining area). Individuals can retreat to private bedrooms without feeling isolated from collective activities.
Families with children aged 5-16 appreciate the pool’s accessibility, included maid service reducing cleaning duties, and proximity to quiet beaches at Zaton. The high-chair availability and ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom suit families with young children. Older children find Dubrovnik’s medieval streets and Game of Thrones location-scouting inherently engaging.
Multigenerational trips (grandparents, adult children, grandchildren) function smoothly given the room count, varied bed configurations, and ground-floor bedroom option that avoids stair navigation for less mobile guests.
Couples seeking group villa experiences share the property’s cost while maintaining private ensuite bedrooms and terrace areas for quiet moments.

What is the best time of year to rent Villa Linka I?

July and August experience temperatures exceeding 30°C, peak Dubrovnik crowds, and premium nightly rates. April and October suit walking, boating, and cultural activities, though water temperatures drop to 18-20°C.

Is Villa Linka I suitable for families with children?
Yes. The private infinity pool permits unsupervised swimming for families with competent swimmers; shallow zones near pool entry suit younger children. Zaton’s sandy beaches lie 2 kilometres west—rare in rocky Dalmatia and specifically designed for family bathing. The included maid service (minimum twice weekly) frees parental time for activities rather than household tasks. High chairs and travel cots are available on request, and ensuite bathrooms in every bedroom enable flexible bath times. Dubrovnik’s Old Town and nearby Lokrum Island provide educational and engaging activities for children aged 8+. However, young toddlers (under 3) require enhanced supervision given the multi-level layout and open terraces without perimeter fencing.

The nightly rate covers maid service (minimum twice weekly, typically Friday and Tuesday), Wi-Fi internet throughout the property, air conditioning in all bedrooms and main living areas, pool heating, standard utilities (electricity, water, waste), parking, and use of all furnishings and amenities.
