Villa Lucilla

About this property

Villa Lucilla is a beautiful holiday home offering six exceptional bedroom suites, gorgeous interiors and fabulous outside space. One of its major attractions is its waterfront location in Dubrovnik. The interiors are beautiful with sumptuous furnishings, beautiful artwork and a wonderful, inviting ambience. Outside, the villa boasts a fabulous swimming pool surrounded by luxury loungers, parasols and a popular jacuzzi. This excellent villa is perfect for large family or friends groups, sleeping up to twelve lucky guests.

Villa Lucilla is traditional in its styling with many contemporary touches. Its smart exterior offers charming shutters at each of the windows. The villa is surrounded by lush greenery, making it more attractive and framing the sea views from many spots in the house and garden. Though its living areas are beautifully furnished with a comfy corner sofa and circular dining table, guests staying at Villa Lucilla are likely to spend most of their time outside. The villa offers an excellent, well-equipped kitchen for a self-catering stay, plus a barbecue outside for alfresco dining.

The villa’s six-bedroom suites are beautifully finished with luxurious soft furnishings and linens adorning the kingsize beds. Each bedroom enjoys a generous sized ensuite bathroom with a bath. Some rooms also enjoy access to balconies and terraces with sensational views. How lovely to be able to wake in the morning, draw the curtains and step out to a comfy sofa on the terrace for your morning cup of coffee and watch the boat activity in the sea!

Villa Lucilla is perfect for large groups, but there are many quiet little corners where you can disappear with your holiday book and a chilled glass of wine. The raised alfresco dining area is superb. It is shaded from the sun but offers the most extraordinary seascapes. Even if you are not eating, it is a lovely spot. The pool and jacuzzi are other lovely areas. Just imagine lazing in the jacuzzi with a lovely glass of fizz by your side and those spectacular views in front of you. Another terrace enjoys lovely lounge furniture and is flanked by majestic cypresses, a perfect spot for afternoon tea. Behind the alfresco dining area is another dreamy tranquil spot, perfect for your holiday read.

This is a lovely property with plenty of charm and an excellent location. We can organise some extra services for you for an additional cost, including villa pre-stocking, activities and excursions and transfers.

Dubrovnik is a fabulous holiday destination. The ancient walled city offers captivating attractions, and the surrounding area enjoys natural charms, gorgeous beaches, all sorts of watersports, boat adventures, and charming villages and towns to visit.

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.

Visitors arriving at Dubrovnik Old Town for the first time are usually in awe of this fantastic city with its limestone streets, baroque buildings, ancient city walls and the endless shimmer of the Adriatic. It is no surprise why it was dubbed the ‘Pearl of the Adriatic’ by George Bernard Shaw. This characterful, atmospheric medieval town is enclosed by ancient city walls that you have to walk around. You should try and do this early or late in the day though as the queues are long and can be very hot. Inside the walls, you will discover the Stradun, its main thoroughfare brimming with shops, cafes and stalls. There are also many churches, monasteries and palaces scattered within the walls. You will marvel at how the light changes on these ancient buildings. The Old Town’s picturesque shops, restaurants and historical sights are an absolute delight. 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, Placa by the port, and Buze. 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, 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.

The Peljesac Penisula is a premier wine region of Croatia. Visitors can tour the local vineyards and sample the local wines, stopping at the charming villages of Ston and Trstenik. It is a wonderful excursion, particularly if you are not driving!

Guests also enjoy crossing the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina and taking in the stunning natural beauty of Mostar, with its iconic bridge spanning the meandering river below. Along the way, the religious pilgrimage site of Medjugore and the unesco-listed city of Pocitelj are excellent stops. Spending a day in charming Montenegro, exploring the natural beauty and historical cities of Petast and Kotor, is another incredible experience.
