DESCRIPTION |
|
Villa Bellezza is one of the most beautiful luxury villas and gardens in Dubrovnik, located on the site of the Renaissance summer residence of the Jordan-SorkoÄević family, originally built in the 16th century. The 2000 square metre garden, with its majestic central walking path and original 16th century columns, gives Villa Bellezza a special charm.
The garden is filled with exotic Mediterranean plants, including shady hundred-year-old pines, cypress, bay laurel, oleander, myrtle, rosemary, lavender, Canary palms, figs, lemons, wild oranges and grapefruit and many others.
The capital of each column is decorated with carvings in a variety of floral motifs, and bear witness to the importance of landscape architecture of the Renaissance period. Villa Bellezza, a luxury villa, with its unique and spacious garden, is an ideal place for relaxing and enjoying, surrounded by high walls which have ensured its residents peace and privacy since the 16th century.
During the age of the Dubrovnik Republic, summer residences were centres of social life, relaxation and enjoyment. This particular home was known for the artistic and intellectual conversations about love and beauty which the Dubrovnik nobility often held in these beautiful gardens, which have been preserved to this day in nearly their original condition. The spirit of true Renaissance beauty - Bellezza – inspired this villa's current name.
Although the summer residence was almost completely destroyed in the 19th century, the current owners have recently renovated it completely, following the highest standards of historic conservation, to create a luxury villa and garden in Dubrovnik, which is among the protected cultural artefacts of the Republic of Croatia.
Villa Bellezza stretches over 120 square meters of Mediterranean style, a perfect combination of luxury and tradition. The centre of this luxurious Dubrovnik villa is the spacious living room and dining room which offers a stunning view of the terrace and gardens. The warm Dubrovnik colours of Bordeaux and beige predominate in this part of the villa, with its antique furniture and paintings by well-known Dubrovnik artists such as Josip Trostman, modern painters and younger artists. The 50-year-old Danish chandelier, designer figurines, and antique telephones give the villa a special charm.
Adjoining the living room is a fully equipped kitchen with a bar.
The ground floor of the villa also contains a bathroom with a tub and separate toilet. A wooden staircase leads up to two beautiful double bedrooms on the first floor, with handmade furniture, in predominantly mild brown and beige tones. This luxury villa in Dubrovnik is an ideal holiday location for 6 persons.
At the entrance to the garden is a barely visible carved inscription in Latin, which is believed to date from the 16th century: “Be gone from me, jealousy, quarrels, arrogance, and worry.†(ESTE PROCUL LIVOR, LITES, AMBITIO CURARE). We can conclude that the owner of this villa truly enjoyed his paradise.
Welcome to a true paradise; welcome to the luxurious Villa Bellezza Dubrovnik! |
