Villa Smokvina is a recently restored villa with great sunsets as your looking straight out to sea with nothing to block your view, and also far enough from the city lights, so you have the clearest starry sky to enjoy. However your not completely out in the wilds but just a short drive from restaurants etc.

The ground floor consists of an open plan kitchen/dining/living area and a bathroom. The three bedrooms are on the first floor, along with another bathroom. Two bedrooms have a gorgeous shared terrace with breath taking views of the bay and the nearby islands.

In front of the house is a large dining terrace & summer kitchen; the terrace meanders around the corner to the small pool ( 18m ) and sunbathing area, and there is also a place for yoga.

The small beach and pristine sea are just 100m away, whilst the nearest town is about 10 mins drive.

In one direction you drive onto the Peninsula Peljesac and stop at Ston which is famous for its oysters and has several restaurants specialising in shellfish/seafood, or drive back down towards Dubrovnik and stop at Slano with its new Marina and lovely beach, and where there are some super restaurants there now.

Nearby you can also catch the ferry across to the island of Mljet which is mostly designated as National Park and absolutely stunning; perhaps rent some bikes for the day to make the most of it.

Just 10 miles away is Trsteno Arboretum, now better known for its location as Red Keep’s gardens in Game of Thrones.
