Villa Octavia

About this property

Nestled in the hills of southern Croatia, Villa Octavia is a home away from home, sleeping six guests. This villa offers a traditional Mediterranean exterior with stone walls, blue shutters, and a terracotta rooftop with all the modern necessities.

The layout of Villa Octavia is on separate floors, both inside and outside. At the very top of the villa, there are two private parking spots with steps leading down to the main internal family space.

Step into an open-plan living and dining space with a fully equipped kitchen. The décor is modern, light and will have a cooling feel on those hot days. Colourful art hangs on the wall providing pops of colour to the white backdrop. Windows look out to the spectacular views of the garden, mountains and open countryside that can also be enjoyed from an alfresco dining table on the terrace outside the kitchen.

Two bedrooms are off the main living area. One is a double room with an ensuite bathroom, and the second is a twin bedroom with a private balcony. There is also a separate family bathroom and laundry room. A hairdryer, towels and toiletries are provided in all bedrooms.

In a separate annexe overlooking the pool is a spacious master bedroom with an ensuite and walk-in shower. Below the annexe is an alfresco summer kitchen, perfect for those long summer nights enjoying home-cooked dinners whilst watching the sunset.

Villa Octavia’s grounds are laid out on several layers, the main level is the pool terrace. Enjoy views of the mountains and open countryside from the cooling water of your private pool. A large sundeck terrace surrounds the pool, with sun loungers and parasols. An outdoor shower is on hand to cool down after a morning soaking up the hot sun. A family dining table sits under a pergola so you can feast under the stars. An outdoor barbecue is on a separate level, with stone detailing the oven and walls.

Nestled in the mountains of southern Croatia is the home away from home for your holiday. On your doorstep, there are a variety of activities, including exploring the historic city of Dubrovnik, touring the coast on a kayaking trip or hiking through the surrounding countryside.

Set amid the southern Croatian countryside, Villa Octavia is in an ideal location for you to create family memories together.

On your doorstep, spend a couple of hours visiting Sokol Grad, a medieval castle. Once used as a defensive fortress, this castle is located on top of a 25-metre-high crag, and today, it hosts displays of historical artefacts and details of the castle’s history. The name Sokol Grad means ‘Falcon Town’, mimicking the bird’s eye view of the valley and surrounding area the castle has.

Travel north to the famous city of Dubrovnik and experience the history of Croatia. Due to its Mediterranean climate, Dubrovnik is guaranteed to have an abundance of sunny days. A maze of terracotta rooftops and narrow streets, Dubrovnik is a tourist hotspot for witnessing the culture and history of this region. The architecture is unique and filled with sculptures, archways and engravings. Listed as a unesco world heritage site, the old town’s architecture was completed in the 13th century, giving a glimpse into what it looked like all those years ago. Those who enjoyed Game of Thrones will recognise Dubrovnik as the setting of many scenes throughout the seasons.

The old town was encircled by a large stone wall in the 16th century which still stands today. The wall runs directly to the shoreline and is a prominent icon on the city’s architectural skyline. A popular city walk is the ‘Walls of Dubrovnik’ which can easily be self-guided or in a tour group and reflects Croatia’s historical past.

Six fortresses are spectacled along the wall, including the Lovrijenac fortress. Built in the 16th century on a 37-metre rock-face fortress Lovrijenac provides an impressive backdrop for local theatres to perform many theatrical performances.

Experience the cooling waves of the Adriatic Sea and head to the coast for a relaxing swim, an adventurous kayaking tour or an educational boat tour.
