This unique villa in Dubrovnik with a pool is surrounded by beaches – the famous pebble Miramare Beach and several untamed rocky beaches, coupled with concrete plateaus just beneath the steep cliff, on which the villa stands. The crystal clear turquoise sea, Dubrovnik’s sublime sunrises and plenty of shade in the afternoon – these are just a few of the reasons why the Miramare Beach is so popular. This particular beach in Dubrovnik boasts a setting and an ambiance that is so comfortable and inspiring it makes you feel you want to read a good book or maybe even write one. You can also watch the locals play water polo or leap from the cliffs.

For centuries, it was home to the Republic of Ragusa, a small but powerful maritime city-state, known as the first country to recognize the independence of the United States of America and one of the first governments in the world to abolish slavery. Perhaps the best word to describe the Dubrovnik Republic would be “libertas” meaning “freedom”. That used to be the motto of this amazing small republic and you can still see it written on all the flags fluttering within the city walls, along with the image of its protector, St. Blaise.

Nowadays, Dubrovnik is well known for hosting some exciting big-name blockbusters. A number of movies and television shows were recently filmed in and around the Old Town. For instance, Dubrovnik is the main filming location in Croatia for King’s Landing  in The Game of Thrones series; it was turned into Nottingham for Leonardo DiCaprio’s Robin Hood and transformed into Canto Bight, the casino planet, for the filming of Star Wars: The Last Jedi, just to name a few.
