Villa Donna Paola - Four Bedroom Villa, Sleeps 8

Experience Dubrovnik’s amazing beauty within a stunning setting at Villa Donna Paola. This luxurious and historic property is located in the most prestigious area of Dubrovnik perched just 200 meters from the Old City walls situated a few minutes on foot from the town’s enchanting center and renowned Stradun. This property, with its beautiful garden, private swimming pool and large terraces is a peaceful paradise for the sophisticated and mature traveler.


Built in 1929 by the famous Captain Carić and his Italian wife Donna Paola, for whom the villa is named, this property creates a relaxing and peaceful atmosphere. The villa is surrounded with its own beautiful traditional Dubrovnik garden and offers ample outdoor space from which to enjoy the perfect views, as well as a sizeable private swimming pool (12 x 3 meters). The newly refurbished inside spaces offer a luxurious lifestyle with a beautiful open concept kitchen, dining and living areas, which opens directly onto the terrace and pool area.



The present owner, a well known architect, has recently renovated and  refurbished the villa to the highest of standards, with an airy mix of staple contemporary pieces and original antique furnishings belonging to the villa. Important works of famous Croatian artists, both modern and classic, adorn the walls all throughout the property, making it truly exceptional. The tasteful combination of “old meets new”, with design pieces by Mies Van der Rohe, Alvar Aalto, Ron Arad, century old tapestries,  original handwritten cooking recipes of Donna Paola herself, as well as an Art Deco fireplace and lamps will make even the most discerning guests feel the magic that surrounds them.


The villa spreads across two floors. On the ground floor is a mirrored entrance hall leading to a large living room with an open concept and modern fully equipped kitchen and dining area. Three large French doors open onto the terrace facing the pool and overlooking the Old City walls. The ground floor also has a double bedroom and a bathroom, as well as a separate guest toilet.



The villa’s original stone staircase, by the entrance hall, leads to the first floor which is comprised of a large, modern and airy master bedroom with an en-suite bathroom. The master bedroom has two beautiful south facing windows that overlook the garden and swimming pool area of the villa, the Adriatic Sea and the Old City. The first floor has an additional two double bedrooms, both elegantly decorated with modern and antique furnishings as well as art, overlooking the inner courtyard of the villa as well as the garden and Old City. These additional two bedrooms share their own large marble bathroom. 


All four bedrooms as well as the living room have UHD Smart TV’s. The guests can enjoy quiet and elegant outdoor living and alfresco dining on two of the terraces, both shaded from the sun, one with a retractable awning. On the third terrace the guests can enjoy sunbathing on sun beds, surrounded by wild orange trees, thick laurel shrubs, rosemary and myrtle, while taking cooling plunges in the extraordinary swimming pool, all with breathtaking views of Dubrovnik’s Old City.

Great house with pool
Love the location just outside the gates- luckily we have strong legs for the steps all around Dubrovnik. Mentioned the sheets on check out - could be much softer. Hopefully enough mentioning will create change. Check in was fine but house not available until after 4 pm. Thanks for a fantastic stay. Everyone loved the house and really enjoyed the pool!
