About this property

Dubrovnik Oceanfront Villa For 10 with Private Beach and swimming Pool

This charming Mediterranean holiday villa is located in the beautiful Lozica area, at the western entrance to Dubrovnik. This is an exclusive destination where secluded seaside villas are built along the coast, offering you a dream holiday in a peaceful and private place known for its natural beauty and spectacular panoramic sea views, as well as overwhelming sunsets. South facing, the villa is situated on a multi-level stone walled property surrounded by terraced gardens of aromatic Mediterranean vegetation, a private swimming pool overlooking the ocean and only a few steps above a private beach - the perfect spots to relax in and enjoy Dubrovnik’s sunny and warm weather.
Lozica is a short 5km drive from the Old town of Dubrovnik – the 'Pearl of the Adriatic', where you can explore the historical and cultural heritage of this unique centuries old World heritage site. If you are looking for crystal blue sea, beautiful beaches, charming local restaurants, romantic scenery, entertainment, various cultural events, or simply a place to unwind, you will certainly find it in Dubrovnik. We recommend renting a car or using taxis for getting around so that you really make the most of what the area has to offer. Among other local activities are various water sport and beach activities, boat excursions, mountain biking, hiking, tennis, horse riding, folklore, and visiting local family estates for a taste of domestic wine and gastronomy, music or crafts.
The villa provides a welcoming spacious accommodation, and is ideal for a family or a group of friends.
The panoramic balcony and terrace views make waking up in the morning a joy and provide lovely spots to enjoy at any time of the day or evening.
The villa has a large summer kitchen with a big stone table and a barbeque.
The private pool is equipped with deck chairs, sunbeds, and a shower, and is a perfect place to relax by. Just a few steps down is a private beach, a rocky seafront tamed by a spacious pier where you can take a dip into the clear Adriatic Sea and enjoy the sun and the summer breeze.
A charming stone bench and table corner overlooking the sea provides a perfect place to unwind, with a glass of wine or a good book.
Indoor, on the top floor, is a large open plan living/dining area with an adjacent seaview terrace, a fully equipped kitchen, two double bedrooms both facing the sea and with access to the terrace, and two bathrooms – one of which has a large corner Jacuzzi tub.
On the lower floor is the extension of accommodation and amenities. The front bedroom facing the sea accommodates 2 guests. Also front and sea facing is a large lounge area with large pool/snooker table, TV, coffee and wine bar. Two sofas offer a comfortable resting and mingling area (the bigger sofa pulls out into an extra bed for 2 guests). In a separate room is 1 more double bedroom. There is 1 bathroom with shower and a hallway. The whole floor opens up to a large terrace with lounge furniture, and is a few steps away from the pool.
This type of villa layout offers a great facility for many: one large family, two families, a group of friends... the possibilities are various.

A perfect week

I have just got back from a wonderful week at Villa Luce. Dubrovnik is a wonderful city and Villa Luce is a perfect place to stay when visiting. The pictures on the site are accurate, the sunsets are amazing and the ability to wake up in the morning, walk down the steps and dive into the sea makes this place really special. All of the practical stuff worked well, the villa was clean, the check-in was easy, no complaints !! We did not have a car, we used UBER, which was fine. We will certainly come back again in the future.

Lovely Villa in a Fantastic Location

We stayed as a family of 8 for 6 days at the villa. The villa was lovely, the host welcoming and informative and the views were stunning. The villa was clean and tidy, but maybe a little tired in places. Although on a busy road, it was peaceful, as the villa is set down from the road next to the sea. There are a lot of steps - 95 from the road to the villa front door and then down more to the pool and sea. Slightly unusual layout - the 2 floors are only joined by external stairs. Upper floor has 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, kitchen and lounge. Lower floor has 3 bedrooms but only 1 bathroom. Overall a great villa for a large family such as ours - comfy beds, good showers and air con. The pool was lovely and private access to the sea was great. We really enjoyed watching the boats and cruise ships going past on their way into Dubrovnik Port. Supermarket at the Port about 10 min drive away. We used Uber to and from town in the evenings, worked really well, costs about £10 each way, much cheaper than regular taxis or parking in town.

Good location however wouldn't recommend property suitable for under 10 year old as on steep cliff and access to sea into deep water with no steps. Also busy road making tricky pulling out from property and also parking Spacious property but beds and bedding need replacing, Likewise sunloungers! Spac

Stunning villa and location

We have just come back from the villa and our first thought is when can we go back. The villa is beautiful with folding doors opening up the lounge and bedroom and you feel connected immediately to the stunning views outside of the Adriatic Sea. You never tire of seeing the large cruise ships sail by and the luxury yachts coming and going from Dubrovnik harbour. Each day we would go down the steps to the platform at the bottom where we would swim in the sea which was surprisingly warm and so very clear. Shoals of fishes would be all around us with tiny crabs climbing the walls of the platform. It is in a great location and each night we called a taxi to go to Dubrovnik old town which is beautiful and has many high quality restaurants to choose from. Lucija was very helpful and was a pleasure to deal with. I could not recommend this villa enough, the location is absolutely magnificent as was the lovely wine cellar which left us all with cellar envy.

Heaven on Earth

This Villa is a genuine slice of heaven! Large rooms, spectacular views, direct access to the sea, perfectly situated to receive both morning and afternoon sun, and the hostess, Lucija, is so very nice, very accommodating, and very well connected to the wine community. There is even a wine cellar on the premises. I would absolutely return to this Villa for another stay. In fact, I tried and it was already booked! No surprise, as it is truly gorgeous in so many ways. It's also close enough to the airport and to the Old Town, but also far enough away to hear nothing but the sea. Honestly one of the best Villas I have ever experienced!

5 Star Villa at Magnificent Location

This is a great villa, ideal for a family. We stayed here for 9 days and enjoyed fantastic weather, surrounded by stunning views. The villa is extremely well equipped and is very private. It is ideal for a relaxing holiday where a private pool and access to the sea is a high priority. Dubrovnik is a short drive away and offers a wide variety of restaurants, in particular Amfora where we ate twice. Lucija was so helpful during our visit, the perfect host. We would love to return to Dubrovnik for another holiday and would highly recommend this villa.

Truly tranquil, modern and peaceful home

Words fall short to describe the tranquil experience we had in this awesome setting. The home itself has been kept clean and extremely well equipped. The landlady is extremely kind and helpful. She has taken great care to make sure that all is included in the house for a blissful stay. We used the pool and also the private boat docking. We used bathed every day in the warm sea water and lounged around the pool. The interiors are also very well kept and the house is huge in size. Will definitely visit again!

Fantastic for a relaxing holiday

We wanted a quiet, relaxing & romantic holiday and this villa was perfect. The villa was clean and had everything we could need, and the views were stunning. We spent nearly every day sitting outside on one of the many sunny patios, in the pool or on the 'beach' (a little jetty on the waterfront). Lucija, the owner, was incredibly helpful and kind. As the villa is a little way out of Dubrovnik and there were no local shops, it was recommended that we hire a car. In the end we didn't need to as Lucija provided us with the number of a local taxi driver who became our personal driver - wherever & whenever we needed to go somewhere. He gave us excellent recommendations for 'local' restaurants sights to see - and was much cheaper than hiring a car for the duration! We had one day in the beautiful old town which we visited before about 5 years ago. Now there are thousands of cruise ship passengers every day - a cash cow that is being taken advantage of as everything is more expensive and even walking around the town wall costs €5. It was the only time during the whole holiday that we felt like tourists rather than guests of Croatia, and we couldn't wait to get back to the tranquility of the villa. The only negative was the stereo didn't have a USB socket so we couldn't play our own music, though Lucija may have rectified that now. We still had a wonderful holiday.

A wonderful choice

We chose this villa for our 6 week Croatia vacation. It was certainly a highlight of our trip. Lucija met us on arrival with wine, grocery staples and advice about the property and surrounding area. The villa is ideally located with breathtaking views from the balconies. It was extremely clean, beds comfortable, kitchen well stocked, and a wonderful jacuzzi. To meet our specific needs, Lucija added a clothes dryer, feather pillows, and she facilitated minor repairs immediately. She recommended Dubrovnik Rent A Car, which provided us superior and personalized service. Our son and his wife joined us for two weeks and together we enjoyed the private beach snorkeling, outdoor kitchen and proximal distance to so many outings. The Raddison Hotel is only 10 minutes away and we were able to purchase month long spa passes, very reasonably. A phenomenal spa, well equipped gym, indoor pool, large whirlpool and several Hamen and saunas. Having rented the car, we were able to experience a true taste of the area. We ferried to Mljet, Korcula, and Kolocep. Visits to Old town Dubrovnik, cable car, Lapad promenade were lovely and we specifically recommend the More Hotel Dining. Nearby memorable trips were to Zaton, Ston, wineries on Peljesac peninsula, Orebic to the north. And to the south, we loved Cavtat, Cilipi and Gruda. Fine dining at both Gruda restaurants (Vinica Monkovic and Konavoski Dvori). Traveling across borders is very easy and we especially loved The Bay Of Kotor and Perast in Montenegro. In Bosnia we visited Medjugore and Mostar. All of our outings were easy driving day trips and as much as the places we visited will always be great memories, the best part was coming back to the villa, wine on the terrace, watching the sun go down and cruise ships pass. A special thank you to our lovely host, Lucija and we highly recommend this property.

Paradise on the Adriatic Sea

My family and I cannot say enough how much we enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik, and so much of that is due the beautiful home on the Adriatic Sea! The home was exceptionally well-appointed, beautifully landscaped, with a pool overlooking the sea. The owner was so easy to work with, and was especially good at communicating. The Property Manager, Marina, prepared delicious breakfasts as requested (for a nominal charge), and was so responsive to our questions and needs. Loved every second of our stay on the sea!

Great place for big groups

We had a wonderful stay in Lozica! It was a great place for me and my adult siblings to hang out, relax, and swim our hearts out. We were able to go into Old Town and see the sites, but allow some time for Ubers as it took a little while for them to confirm the trips (but it was only 10-15 minutes once you were in the car!) Lucija and Marina were incredibly responsive throughout our stay and we were very sad to leave. Highly recommend for your trip to Dubrovnik!

Great views & times by the Dalmatian Coast!

Great property right on the coast, 5 minutes from Gruž (which has a decent supermarket). The kitchen is extremely well equipped and the bedrooms all have strong air conditioning. The pool and outside areas all have great views of the coastline just north of Dubrovnik. The property is on the main road however the property itself is down the hill so is very quiet (There are quite a few steps down and up!). The property is 5 minutes south of Mali Zaton which also has some super restaurants and places to swim. The property is recommended! We were two families with 4 children ranging from 6-17.

Charming Seaside Villa

This property is absolutely amazing! The location offers fantastic seafront panoramic views. The pool and the private sea access allow for plenty of opportunities for swimming and cooling off on a hot sunny day. The property is secluded and offers a lot of privacy, but yet it is a very short drive to the Old Town of Dubrovnik and other local attractions and sightseeing opportunities. The property had a lot of character and offered a perfect blend of traditional local architecture and modern amenities. There is even a private wine cellar on the property. The host is very accommodating and welcoming and kept in touch with us daily during our stay and assured we were taken care of. The property keepers were also available daily and kept the property clean and tidy. Highly recommended!

Great holiday

It was a fantastic family holiday in this beautiful villa. The location of the villa was one of the best. The communication with Lucija was easy and prompt, she is a clever negotiator. The summer kitchen is great. The pool is deep enough and clean and warm. The view from any corner of this villa is beautiful. Thera are 200 steps form the upper gate to the sea, but this was not a problem. There is smart TV in the upper living room, where you can watch your favourite sport or other TV channels. The sea was warm and you can feel all the time that you are at unique location. Great villa, good communication with the owner, fantastic holiday.

Host profile image
As your hosts, we are a married couple with three small children. Apart from tourism our main business is wine growing and making in the region of Dingac, located on the Peljesac peninsula.This is why we live between Dubrovnik and Trpanj, a village on the Peljesac peninsula - depending on the business season. As such, we strive to encourage our guests to discover the beauties of the whole Dubrovnik region as well as the city itself-especially the Peljesac peninsula. On one hand we put emphasis on strong family values and believe that our tradition and culture can teach us a lot about the future.On the other, we believe that travelling and meeting new worlds creates the perfect balance with the afore mentioned, opening the mind to new and modern ways of thinking, working and feeling. This is why we use most of our free time to travel all around the world and encourage our family and friends to do as well.

Why they chose this property
