Historic Villa in Croatia with Luxurious Sauna, Jacuzzi, and Pool

Built between the World Wars in 1938, Villa Princess is a unique and exclusive property suited for vacationers who appreciate top-notch modern design within an historical setting. The villa is located in an A-list neighborhood a quick walk away from the Old City of Dubrovnik, a well-preserved medieval city set within a walled fortress overlooking the Adriatic Sea. 

Set among cypress trees and a private garden, everything about Villa Princess speaks to impeccable design. Minimal white walls allow furnishings and design elements to pop throughout this high-end villa. Colorful paintings by abstract Croatian artist Nikolina Šimunović are displayed throughout the house. Furniture in the rooms come from famous designers, including Charles and Ray Eames and Hee Welling, hailing from Croatia and beyond.

This villa sleeps 10 guests and boasts five bedrooms, each with its own en-suite bathroom, plus an additional guest bathroom. The ground floor features one designed bedroom, a living room surrounded on each side by painted walls, and a dining room with an extensive wine collection, which guests are free to enjoy.

On the first floor sits an expansive eat-in kitchen with room enough for 10 guests. With an elegant upright piano and a plush 1920s Bibendum armchair evoking the iconic Art Deco period, the nearby salon transports visitors to a bygone era. On this floor is another picturesque bedroom as well as the master bedroom, which opens out to a luxurious, in-ground jacuzzi.  

Beside the swimming pool rest cozy lounge chairs and a massive dining table, allowing for al fresco dining. From this terrace guests can admire the spellbinding grandeur of the Old City of Dubrovnik and the beautiful island of Lokrum. 

The second floor features two bedrooms and another balcony with stunning views. A charming attic holds an impressive and sizable book collection and a comfortable reading corner. The adjoining mirrored room makes a great escape for couples, where they can appreciate gorgeous views of the Adriatic Sea while relaxing in a stylish Devon&Devon bathtub. A sleek, wooden sauna features a shower room for the convenience of all guests. 

A pebble beach is located a five-minute walk from the villa. The beauty of Croatia’s historical Dalmatia region is easily accessible via EliteLyfe’s luxury yacht tours and charters. First-class shops and standout restaurants are within walking distance so guests can experience Dubrovnik culture and flavors up close and personal. 

An on-site villa manager is available to assist with anything from directions to sightseeing recommendations. The Dubrovnik airport is located just over 14 miles (23 kilometers) from Villa Princess, and guests can utilize EliteLyfe’s premium concierge service for professional transport upon arrival and departure. 

With its proximity to Old Town Dubrovnik, unparalleled design elements, and superior amenities, historic Villa Princess is a luxury vacation home to remember.
