Boasting a picturesque location in the coastal village of Štikovica, Villa Marsha is an elegant property overlooking the stunning waters of Zaton Bay. With four bedrooms, a sun-drenched terrace, a private swimming pool and a relaxing sauna, the villa is situated just a fifteen-minute drive away from the spectacular Dalmatian city of Dubrovnik, offering guests the opportunity to enjoy the tranquillity of the Croatian countryside whilst making the most of the lively streets of Dubrovnik’s old town, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Only a few minutes away from Štikovica Beach on foot, Villa Marsha is the perfect place to unwind with your loved ones whilst soaking up the warm Mediterranean sunshine and the laidback lifestyle of the Dubrovnik Riviera.
Bright blue skies and the gentle sea breeze will draw you outside to the villa’s spacious terrace each morning, where you can enjoy a refreshing dip in the swimming pool or admire the enchanting views of the turquoise bay as you sip a freshly brewed cup of coffee. The terrace features a shaded outdoor lounge and comfortable poolside sun loungers, offering plenty of idyllic spots for an afternoon spent reading or simply daydreaming in peace and quiet. On the lower deck of the terrace, guests will find a delightful outdoor kitchen with a grill and a charming dining area where you can gather everyone for a delicious barbecue at sunset. A short flight of steps leads from the property to the crystalline waters of the nearby pebble beach.
Inside Villa Marsha, guests will find a welcoming open-plan living space on the ground floor, boasting a sumptuous lounge with comfortable sofas and a wood-burning stove, the ideal place to curl up after a day spent exploring the coastal wonders of Dalmatia. A stylish kitchen is fully equipped with modern appliances, while a relaxed dining area offers plenty of space for everyone to share a home-cooked meal or discuss the day’s adventures over a cocktail.
On the villa’s first floor, a bright double bedroom features an en-suite bathroom and balcony access. Two more restful bedrooms are located on the second floor, each with a modern en-suite bathroom and a private balcony. The last of the villa’s double bedrooms is situated on the third floor, along with Villa Marsha’s Finnish-style sauna, which guests can visit every evening to feel the day’s adventures melt away. The third-floor bedroom features another en-suite bathroom, dreamlike views of the nearby mountains, and a spacious balcony, where guests can enjoy a leisurely breakfast or a romantic glass of wine under the stars.
Offering a private concierge service and an abundance of contemporary charm, Villa Marsha is a tranquil Croatian retreat perfectly positioned for you to explore the treasure trove of coastal gems and natural beauties that Dubrovnik offers.
Ideally situated in the pretty coastal village of Štikovica, Villa Marsha is only a fifteen-minute drive away from the sparkling old town of Dubrovnik. The villa overlooks the scenic waters of Zaton, a charming town that stretches along a romantic horseshoe bay. You can enjoy strolling along the picturesque promenade in Zaton before stopping off for a sunset dinner at a local seafront restaurant. The bay provides plenty of lovely coves and secluded swimming spots shaded by fragrant pine trees. Here, nature lovers and city dwellers alike will be enchanted by all the Dubrovnik region offers.
The ancient, labyrinthine streets of Dubrovnik offer the perfect excuse to spend the afternoon wandering in the sunshine, taking in the city’s incredible cultural landmarks. A unesco World Heritage site, Dubrovnik’s medieval old town is home to a magnificent Baroque cathedral, enclosed within imposing fortress walls which offer sweeping views of the city. After a day spent enjoying the city’s historic sites and bustling marketplaces, visit a local tavern to sample traditional Dalmatian delicacies such as black squid ink risotto or pašticada, a slow-cooked beef and pasta dish. A sip of rakija, a local brandy made from plums, pomegranate and other fruits, is a tasty way to finish a leisurely meal in Dubrovnik. Meanwhile, intimate wine tours and olive oil tastings are another great way to get to know the city’s rich gastronomy.
For a different kind of day out, why not visit Mljet National Park, a stunning nature park located on its own green island? Ferries to the legendary shores of Mljet depart from Gruž harbour, roughly a ten-minute drive from Štikovica. An hour-long journey across the turquoise waters of the Adriatic Sea will take you to the pretty port village of Sobra, where you can rent a bicycle or catch the bus to reach the untouched natural beauty of the national park. Home to hidden beaches, woodland walking trails and beautiful saltwater lakes - including the Great Lake, which features a small island with a twelfth-century monastery - the island is a hiker’s paradise. Pack a picnic full of delicious local produce and spend the day here, basking in the sunshine and the unforgettable scenery.
Beyond the city streets of Dubrovnik, the shimmering Adriatic coastline beckons, offering visitors a treasure trove of rugged beaches to explore. Only a ten-minute stroll from the old town, Danče Beach is a secluded cove where locals like to take early-morning swims in the crystal-clear water. The nearest beach to the city is pebbly Banje, just a few minutes from Ploče Gate. The shallow waters of Banje are excellent for family-friendly swimming, while the beach’s close proximity to the city makes it a very popular spot during the summer season. On the peninsula of Babin Kuk, Copacabana Beach is ideal for the whole family, with plenty of convenient amenities and water sports facilities. Meanwhile, the spectacular Elaphiti islands of Koločep, Lopud and Šipan offer secret sandy coves, ideal for sea kayaking adventures.
After another exciting day exploring sun-soaked Dalmatia, make your way home to Villa Marsha in time for a sunset swim before a relaxing dinner on the terrace as the stars begin to appear.
