Description
Nestled away in the lush green Konavle countryside, hidden away from the hustle and bustle of modern life, lies the beautiful Villa Cypress. As you enter the villa through the impressive courtyard area it seems that time stopped centuries ago. Villa Cypress is the perfect holiday villa and a wonder of tradition and culture, a monument to a time when the aristocracy ruled the region, a time of nobility.
Villa Cypress has a long and wealthy history. The villa was originally mentioned back in the second half of the 18th century. Although the history doesn’t start there, in the 15th century the charming chapel located in the villa's gardens was constructed. It can be also be assumed, although the history books are vague, that the chapel was built by a noble family that once upon a time owned the villa. The only remaining evidence of the villas existence today is a land right to the property by the Caboga in 1891. Villa Cypress has stood proudly overlooking the rolling hills of Konavle for centuries.
Villa has been lovingly restored and now shines as it did all those centuries ago. With its strong stone walls and traditional exterior the villa will impress you even before you enter. The courtyard, with a feature Konavle style window and a magnificent cypress tree in the center, will leave you intrigued, this is an entrance to impress and it works. The villa’s inviting outdoor heated swimming pool with hydro massage is ideal for keeping cool during warm summer months.
The living room oozes class, the fusion of the traditional and the modern is a feature that continues throughout the whole villa. Each room having a special touch but each also highlighting the very best of Mediterranean design; Villa Cypress still has the feel of nobility.
Villa stands surrounded by a spacious and typically Mediterranean garden. Fling open the shutters of your bedroom and you’ll be greeted by a green oasis, a garden that makes the villa the ideal location for the whole family. And there is plenty of room inside the villa to spread your wings with four bedrooms located on the first floor each luxuriously decorated. Three bedrooms have balconies with panoramic views over the gorgeous Konavle countryside, ideal for morning coffee or a cocktail at the sunset. There are two bathrooms on the first floor, one with bath and another with shower plus toilet on the ground floor.
Villa Cypress has at your disposal a ten seat speedboat with a skipper and crew that can pick you up in Cavtat (10 min drive) and take you wherever you would like to go, whether to explore the historical old town of Dubrovnik, or one of the many enchanting islands that surrounds the city.
