Ghetaldi

Villa Ghetaldi, situated amidst early Renaissance-style Gardens, stands as the former grand summer abode of Dubrovnik's aristocracy. Originating from the Republic's Golden Age, when possessing a rural retreat was a societal norm for escaping urban crowds, the villa was erected by the noble Ghetaldi family. This haven served as a space for social gatherings, business engagements, creative pursuits, land cultivation, and communion with nature. Recently restored to its original splendor by the dedicated owners, the villa seamlessly blends historical features with modern interiors, proudly holding the title of the oldest dated summer residence in the Dubrovnik region.

Crafted majestically in local limestone, the villa follows Golden Ratio proportions, aligning perfectly with the sun and stars. Offering breathtaking views of private early Renaissance gardens, the island, and the Adriatic Sea, it provides an ideal retreat for couples, groups seeking seclusion, or those planning a romantic wedding or a long-awaited family reunion.

Step into the Ground Floor "saloca" (salon), where Renaissance charm converges with minimalistic comfort. Once a social hub for the aristocracy, this simply adorned yet refined space exudes harmony, balance, and well-being. The dining area, an inviting spot for a delightful breakfast prepared by a personal chef in a fully equipped kitchen, doubles as a space for unwinding with parlor games or planning yacht excursions, all within an atmosphere of timeless elegance.

On the first floor, the salon creates a serene ambiance, blending past and present. Neutral fabrics and furnishings, contemporary wall maps, and a gentle sea breeze from open windows transport you to a space that once hosted festivities and family celebrations during Dubrovnik's Golden Age.

Accommodating 14+2 guests, Villa Ghetaldi 1516 features seven private guest accommodations across three floors. Each ensuite room, with twin or king-size beds, wooden-beamed ceilings, signature furnishings, and natural linens, offers a tranquil haven. From the Garden and Terrace Suites, adorned in soothing Adriatic hues, to the Island View Rooms showcasing Renaissance-style artwork and warm earth tones, each space exudes peacefulness.

The Loft Rooms, designed with a minimalist flair and sloping wooden eaves, provide a cozy rooftop respite for creative guests and those in search of solitude.

Indulge in stargazing, intimate dinners, or opulent banquet-style gatherings for family and friends on one of the terraces. Revel in the picturesque views of the Church of the Holy Spirit and the charming town of Suđurad, all while the soothing sounds of cicadas echo across the hillside.

Immerse yourself in the enchanting atmosphere of Villa Ghetaldi's tiered gardens, designed in the early Renaissance style reminiscent of Tuscan palatial gardens. Take leisurely romantic strolls along terraces connected by loggias and pergolas, where time seems to slow down.

For a refreshing interlude after a day of exploring the island, enjoy our panoramic swimming pool. Maintain your fitness routine in the well-equipped fitness room or simply lounge on luxurious sun beds with your favorite novel, embracing the tranquility of the surroundings.
