Villa Elena | Zaton, Croatia | Vacation Rental

 

Once a summer retreat of 15th-century Dubrovnik nobility, Villa Elena in Croatia has been masterfully restored into a luxurious vacation rental. Located in the peaceful bay town of Zaton, just 10 minutes from Dubrovnik this historic estate blends aristocratic charm with modern elegance, offering a truly exceptional vacation experience.

Behind its traditional stone façade and protective walls, Villa Elena reveals a world of Mediterranean elegance. Set amidst 1,500 m² of lush, manicured gardens, the estate features a private chapel, fragrant herb gardens, shaded lounge areas, a large swimming pool, and two sea-facing terraces—perfect for unwinding with morning coffee or enjoying sunset gatherings under the Croatian sky.

The villa offers six beautifully appointed bedrooms and expansive indoor living areas that comfortably host up to 14 guests. The bedrooms feature stone walls, minimalist design, and distinctive architectural touches. The villa offers six ensuite bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms are located on the ground floor and the first floor hosts the remaining four luxurious suites. On the ground floor, the open-concept living space creates a natural flow between a cozy fireplace lounge, a sleek bar, and a dining table for sixteen. The adjoining professional kitchen is fully equipped and ideal for both family meals and private chef-prepared dinners. Upstairs, a second living room provides a more intimate space for relaxation. Throughout the property, exposed stone walls, soft lighting, and timeless furnishings pay tribute to the villa’s noble heritage while ensuring absolute comfort.

Step outside to discover elegant stone courtyards shaded by olive trees, plush sun loungers around the swimming pool, and al fresco dining spaces that invite long lunches and candlelit dinners. An open grill adds to the villa’s culinary charm, making outdoor feasts a central part of the experience. Included with your stay are 5-star services such as daily housekeeping, a warm welcome set-up with fruit, drinks, and snacks, and a dedicated house manager and concierge to assist with any needs. For those seeking a truly elevated experience, private staff including a chef, butler, or full-service catering can be arranged at an additional cost.

Villa Elena is more than just a luxury villa—it’s a living piece of history, where centuries-old architecture and modern hospitality come together in harmony.
