Pugliesi

Introducing Villa Pugliesi, a new gem nestled along the stunning Dubrovnik Riviera in Zaton, Croatia. Only a brief 10-minute drive from the renowned Adriatic jewel - Dubrovnik, this exceptional private estate exudes grandeur. With 6 expansive bedrooms, voluminous living areas, and sprawling Mediterranean gardens that encompass an inviting outdoor pool and a private chapel, Villa Pugliesi is an idyllic haven for families and groups of friends, accommodating up to 14 individuals.

Originally conceived in the 15th century as a haven for aristocrats seeking respite from the scorching stone of Dubrovnik's Old Town, Villa Pugliesi seamlessly blends historical sophistication with contemporary comfort. Its waterfront allure, unassuming yet remarkable interiors, serene garden ambiance, and the secluded haven of the enclosed property all stand as a testament to Dubrovnik's Renaissance architecture and Croatia's cherished national heritage. This magnificent dwelling, a reflection of centuries past, has been meticulously restored to its former glory, achieved through a close collaboration with numerous conservation and restoration experts, given its status as a registered Croatian National Heritage monument.

While our commitment to preserving the cherished historic fabric of the villa has led to certain concessions, such as an intermittent internet connection throughout the property, this very essence transports you back in time. Imagine ascending the original stone staircase, or reaching for a book from a 15th-century wall niche – a tangible connection to history. The private chapel of St. Jerome, nestled in the tranquil corner of the garden, pays homage to the estate's past, reflecting the importance of nearby worship spaces during the eras of yore.

The Pugliesi family was the last to call this estate home, up until the 19th century. Subsequently, the property fell into disrepair and the clutches of time, until its present owner recognized its regal potential and undertook a mission to restore it to its former splendor. After a substantial investment of several million euros and two years of meticulous reconstruction, orchestrated in collaboration with preservation and restoration experts, Villa Pugliesi now stands as a magnificent embodiment of history and modernity. This monument to exceptional vision radiates the historic ambiance while seamlessly embracing modern comforts and contemporary design.
