Villa Circe enjoys a splendid hillside location above the fjord-like valley of Rijeka Dubrovacka, close to the source of the gorgeous Ombla River and six kilometres from the centre of Dubrovnik. It is close enough to visit and enjoy the magical charms of Dubrovnik Old Town, yet enjoys a lovely, natural environment of its own and is close to the other charms of the Dubrovnik Riviera.
The Ombla is approximately 30 metres long, emptying into the Rijeka Dubrovacka, a ria formed by the Adriatic Sea near Komolac in Dubrovnik-Neretva County. The ria is a flooded river valley replenished by Trebisnjica, a stream flowing in Popovo Polje in the hinterland behind the Ombla. The small marina is a charming and beautiful sight from the villa.
Dubrovnik Old Town’s picturesque shops, restaurants and historical sights are an absolute delight. There is a fantastic atmosphere if you can get a table for lunch or dinner in the charming, bustling marina and port. Dubrovnik is an up-market destination enjoying huge popularity and a fantastic gastronomic scene. There are three entrances to the walled city of Dubrovnik, including Pile, which is the main gate, Ploca by the port and Buze, between the two. Buze Gate will take you in via steep staircases. Placa Stradun, the wide, flat main street running the length of the city, is sprinkled with open-air bars and cafes. The market in Gundulic Square sells classic candied orange peels and figs. Visitors can take a ferry to Lokrum Island between May and September, brimming with fragrant pine trees, lush grassy picnic areas and hundreds of birds chirping away. If you leave the Old Town through the Ploca Gate, there is a lovely panoramic walk along Frana Supila Street. You will enjoy stunning views over Dubrovnik and the sea.
Mount Srd can be reached by cable car, car or hiking. Mount Srd boasts amazing views. If you take the cable car up, you might want to hike back. You can take a delightful path in Bosanka leading back to the Old Town.
The Peljesac Penisula is a premier wine region of Croatia. Visitors can tour the local vineyards and sample the local wines, stopping at the charming villages of Ston and Trstenik. It is a wonderful excursion, particularly if you are not driving!
Guests also enjoy crossing the border into Bosnia and Herzegovina and taking in the stunning natural beauty of Mostar, with its iconic bridge spanning the meandering river below. Along the way, the religious pilgrimage site of Medjugore and the unesco-listed city of Pocitelj are excellent stops. Spending a day in charming Montenegro, exploring the natural beauty and historical cities of Petast and Kotor is another incredible experience.
