Heritage Bakovic

Perched on the gentle hills of the Lapad peninsula and overlooking the picturesque harbor of Gruz Bay, Heritage Villa Bakovic is a rare jewel capturing the essence of Dubrovnik’s golden era while offering every modern comfort you could desire.

Set within Dubrovnik’s most sought-after residential neighborhood, the villa provides complete peace and privacy, yet remains just a short drive from the Old Town, the marina, and all major attractions. With four double bedrooms accommodating up to eight guests and generous outdoor areas, it is perfectly suited for families and friends who want to enjoy quality time together while still having quiet corners for personal retreat.

Entering through the main gates at Gruz Bay, you're welcomed by a lush Mediterranean garden. Its terraced layout offers numerous spots for relaxation: sun loungers perfect for an afternoon nap, serene nooks for morning yoga, and charming alcoves framed by citrus trees, olive branches, lavender, and rosemary. Scattered tables and armchairs create intimate spaces for quiet reflection or lively gatherings.

A stone garden gazebo with a large dining table and barbecue sets the scene for memorable al fresco meals. Hidden among the greenery is the private heated swimming pool (up to 25ºC), offering tranquil refreshment from early spring through late autumn.

At the back of the property stands the imposing stone residence, with solid walls and an arched, vaulted porch that whisper stories of centuries past.

Upon entering, a self-contained apartment sits to the left featuring a double bedroom, en suite bathroom, and fully equipped kitchen. Cool stone walls and period details such as vintage cookware make this area ideal for staff or guests seeking extra privacy.

A central wooden staircase decorated with original paintings, family memorabilia, Olympic medals, and trophies connects the ground floor to the upper levels, offering a charming journey through the villa’s history.

The open-plan dining and living area invites guests to gather whether around the elegant dining table or on the expansive living-room sofa. From here, you step out onto the spacious first-floor terrace, where panoramic views of the garden and harbor provide a stunning backdrop for sunbathing, reading, or enjoying a candlelit dinner under the stars.

Adjacent to the living room is the fully equipped kitchen with access to a small terrace and an outdoor stone lavatory with a historic fireplace evoking the traditional ways meals were once prepared.

The master bedroom, overlooking the peaceful garden, features an en suite bathroom with a jetted bath. Classic wooden furniture, tasteful modern accents, and select artworks create an atmosphere of quiet elegance shaped by generations of family life.

The top level includes two additional bedrooms one double and one twin a shared bathroom, and a cozy living area furnished with generous sofas. At the back, a spacious office reminiscent of a writer’s studio features a rocking chair and an antique travel chest, perfect for moments of creativity or contemplation.

More than just a villa, Heritage Villa Bakovic is a family home designed to welcome those who appreciate culture, history, and the authentic rhythm of Dubrovnik life. Immersed in local traditions yet complete with contemporary comfort, it offers a sense of belonging making you feel as though you’ve lived here for years.
