Villa Agatha Croatia

The magical, luxurious Villa Agatha enjoys a prestigious location next to the ancient Dubrovnik city walls. This stunning villa is deeply rooted in the rich history of the city and offers luxurious comfort and beautiful, stylish nods from the past. Villa Agatha features 350 sqm of beautifully styled space, including four outstanding bedroom suites, a gorgeous living space, a fabulous swimming pool and numerous terraces and balconies. This dreamy villa boasts gorgeous natural materials throughout with exposed honey-coloured stone walls and delightful ceilings together with a wonderful blend of traditional and contemporary furnishings. Most of the spaces are drowned in natural light. Even the exterior of Villa Agatha is beautiful with its striking bottle green shutters.
Dubrovnik Old Town is captivating with its glistening limestone streets, baroque buildings, ancient city walls, a fabulous array of gastronomic restaurants, charming boutique shops and the endless shimmer of the Adriatic. It is no surprise why it was dubbed the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ by George Bernard Shaw. The ancient city can become very crowded during the summer months, so guests staying in Villa Agatha have the added benefit of visiting early and late. You really mustn’t miss a trip to one of the Buza Bars as the sun is going down.
Villa Agatha’s main living space is stunning. It boasts mellow stone walls blended with dazzling white ones and a bold, black, contemporary feature open fireplace. There are some fantastic modern lighting arrangements over the lounge and dining areas. It is clear to see that each and every fitting and item of furniture has been handpicked to create a special look that could have come out of an interiors magazine. The views through the windows of the old city are magical. The excellent kitchen offers fabulous appliances, or you can use the gas barbecue and outdoor kitchen area for an alfresco supper with views. The villa also benefits from a wine cellar.
The villa’s four bedrooms are beautifully appointed. The master bedroom suite is very lavish with traditional, slightly regal furnishings, including a kingsize bed and sofas and chairs where you can enjoy breakfast in your room if desired. Its luxurious ensuite bathroom enjoys a shower and a contemporary freestanding bath. The second bedroom enjoys a fabulous ceiling, a gorgeous balcony, a luxurious kingsize bed and a plush ensuite with a bath and shower. Just imagine waking up in this room, opening the curtains and doors and listening to the city waking up! How very special! The remaining two bedrooms also enjoy beautifully dressed, superior kingsize beds and ensuite bathrooms. One has a bath and shower and the other a shower. You really wouldn’t mind which bedroom you got in this beautiful villa. They are all beautifully decorated, peaceful havens where you will enjoy the sleep of kings!
Outside, the villa offers dreamy terraces with a gorgeous swimming pool surrounded by a shower, loungers and umbrellas, an alfresco lounge area, alfresco dining, a small outdoor kitchen and some beautiful planting. You will enjoy a dreamy holiday here! You can also enjoy some extra services for an additional cost, including villa pre-stocking, activities, excursions, and transfers. 

Dubrovnik is a sensational holiday destination. The ancient walled city offers mesmerising scenery and buildings, and the surrounding area enjoys natural charms, gorgeous beaches, an excellent array of watersports and boat trips and beautiful, ancient villages and towns to visit.
Dubrovnik Old Town is an immensely characterful, atmospheric medieval town enclosed by ancient city walls and steeped in history. You should try and walk around the city walls early or late in the day though as the queues are long and can be very hot. Staying at Villa Agatha means that it is very easy to walk them at a time that suits you. The Stradun, the city’s main thoroughfare, is lined with shops, cafes, and stalls inside the walls. Chic boutiques and stylish bars rub shoulders with ancient palaces, monasteries, churches and medieval houses. You will marvel at how the light changes on these ancient buildings. Much of the city’s Renaissance architecture was wiped out in the 1667 earthquake though some examples left, including St Saviour Church. It would be best to visit the Franciscan Monastery with one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe. There is a fantastic atmosphere in the charming, bustling marina and port where you can take boat trips to various islands and Montenegro. The port is also brimming with fabulous fish restaurants soaking up the sunlight and guests enjoying cocktails. There are three entrances to the walled city, including Pile, the main gate, Ploca by the port and Buze between the two. Buze Gate will take you in via steep staircases. Once you have finished looking at the churches, palaces and monasteries, you can take the cable car up to reach Mt Srd, which is the best place to enjoy stunning views of this iconic Old Town. You will also enjoy sensational views of the expansive coastline and the beautiful mountains in the distance. 
Dubrovnik offers an assortment of beaches, most pebbly like Banje Beach just below the walls of the Old Town. It enjoys sheltered bathing, seafront bars and cafes and a complete line-up of watersports. You can take boat trips over to the islands of Dubrovnik’s Adriatic Riviera for some lovely secluded sandy coves. It only takes 15 minutes to reach Lokrum Island by boat from the port. Lokrum is a pine-clad island buzzing with wildlife and full of walking paths, a botanical garden and the ruins of an old Benedictine monastery.
The beautiful Arboretum Trsteno is not far from the villa and is worth visiting. It is the oldest renaissance garden in Dalmatia. It developed from a park surrounding the summer residence of the Gucetic-Gozze family and existed as far back as 1492. The gardens are stunning with Japanese banana trees, bougainvillaea, evergreen magnolia, many types of cactus and other exotic plants. It also includes many old stone sculptures and has been used to film Game of Thrones.
