Glamour is the name of the game at this imposing villa in the pretty seaside village of Trsteno. Just a short drive from Dubrovnik, it's a sensational, Renaissance-style villa on the slopes above the lush Arboretum Trsteno (which stood in for the heavenly gardens of King's Landing when they filmed Game of Thrones in this area). Its far-reaching sea views are made the most of with terraced gardens, a vast pool terrace and a first-floor balcony big enough to fit the whole group for sundowners. The styling here is immaculate, with a tasteful mix of classical and contemporary furnishings, and a luxurious feel to each and every room. We love the huge living room, with its oversized sofas, and the bold, purple-painted dining room. Curved windows add character, while the kitchen and bathrooms are particularly contemporary in style, and you'll spot everything from antique chandeliers to the finest modern pieces by local artists. By day, explore the famous arboretum and the little beaches along this stretch of coast, or just let time slip by as you move between pool and sun lounger all day long. The highlight of the region, Dubrovnik Old Town, is just fifteen minutes away by car and both the Elaphiti Islands and the charming Korčula Island are easily within reach. A private concierge service means booking day trips is quick and easy.
