Location Overview

This stunning Dubrovnik villa is well located to savour the best the region has to offer. This is a gorgeous area of tall cypress trees and wonderful old villages, beautiful scenery, stunning beaches and lots of activities! There are wonderful little fishing villages and pretty coves, beautiful views of the sea, walks through ancient vineyards and olive groves and activities such as horse riding, folk dancing events etc are available in the surrounding country side.

If you are more inclined to have some fast paced action, then there ATV buggies too. Great to keep youngsters amused and have some family fun at the new Activity Park near Gruda. You don’t need to leave the village but if you do fancy getting out and about to explore the Dubrovnik Riviera, then everything is within easy reach. Cavtat Bay, a charming sea edge old town with a delightful selection of restaurants and cafe bars is 20 min drive away and of course, the ‘must-see’ Old Town of Dubrovnik is only a 40 min drive away. You could even water taxi in from Cavtat right into Dubrovnik Old Town’s harbour!

One of the most interesting draws of the Konavle region is that it was traditionally, and still is, the main wine and olive growing area of the Dubrovnik Riviera so be sure to make the most of that with lots of wine tasting and sampling of local dishes. It is known for its quality wines, olives, olive oil, and wide variety of local produce so the gastronomic side of Konavle is not to be missed. Visit local taverns and wine cellars and partake in some wine tasting, and try some local traditional delicacies – this region has a mouth-watering selection of some of the best traditional eateries on the Dubrovnik Riviera… one of them is just down the hill from the villa.
