Dubrovnik is a spectacular holiday destination. The ancient walled city offers mesmerising scenery and buildings, and the surrounding area enjoys natural charms, gorgeous beaches, an excellent array of water sports, and boat trips and beautiful, ancient villages and towns to visit.

Dubrovnik Old Town is renowned for its character and charm, with its medieval town sheltered by ancient city walls and steeped in history. The best time to walk around the city wall is either early or late in the day though as the queues are long and can be very hot. The Stradun, the city’s main thoroughfare, is lined with shops, cafes, and stalls inside the walls. Chic boutiques and stylish bars rub shoulders with ancient palaces, monasteries, churches and medieval houses. You will marvel at how the light changes on these ancient buildings. Much of the city’s Renaissance architecture was wiped out in the 1667 earthquake though some examples left, including St Saviour Church. It would be best to visit the Franciscan Monastery with one of the oldest pharmacies in Europe. There is a fantastic atmosphere in the charming, bustling marina and port where you can take boat trips to various islands and Montenegro. The port is also brimming with fabulous fish restaurants soaking up the sunlight and guests enjoying cocktails. There are three entrances to the walled city, including Pile, the main gate, Ploca by the port and Buze between the two. Buze Gate will take you in via steep staircases. Once you have finished looking at the churches, palaces and monasteries, you can take the cable car up to reach Mt Srd, which is the best place to enjoy stunning views of this iconic Old Town. You will also enjoy sensational views of the expansive coastline and the beautiful mountains in the distance.

Dubrovnik offers an assortment of beaches, most pebbly like Banje Beach just below the walls of the Old Town. It enjoys sheltered bathing, seafront bars and cafes and a complete line-up of watersports. You can take boat trips over to the islands of Dubrovnik’s Adriatic Riviera for some lovely secluded sandy coves. It only takes 15 minutes to reach Lokrum Island by boat from the port. Lokrum is a pine-clad island buzzing with wildlife and full of walking paths, a botanical garden and the ruins of an old Benedictine monastery.

The beautiful Arboretum Trsteno is not far from the villa and is worth visiting. It is the oldest renaissance garden in Dalmatia. It developed from a park surrounding the summer residence of the Gucetic-Gozze family and existed as far back as 1492. The gardens are stunning with Japanese banana trees, bougainvillaea, evergreen magnolia, many types of cactus and other exotic plants. It also includes many old stone sculptures and has been used to film Game of Thrones.
