Infused into the rock face of the rolling hills of the Konavle valley, surrounded by lofty cypress trees, this delightful retreat enjoys captivating views across the rural landscape towards the Adriatic Sea. Recently built and cleverly designed inside and out, comfortable accommodation is complemented by terraced grounds and a lovely swimming pool, that honeymooners or a couple are sure to enjoy.
Inside, modern furnishings sit alongside a facade of cool mountain rock and exposed stone walls, providing the backdrop to an informal open plan living area and kitchen. A staircase leads up to the mezzanine double bedroom with en suite shower room and windows that frame the wonderful views beyond.
Following the natural contours of the hillside, a stone pathway leads to a private garden, where peaceful waterfalls splash into a clear pond and shaded seating creates a peaceful haven in which to relax and savour the view. A little patio to the side of the house provides the ideal spot for pre-dinner drinks, whilst a wide terrace and shaded dining area with built-in barbecue and outdoor shower room surround the swimming pool.
A 300m stroll downhill brings you to a local bar and shop selling essentials. There is also a restaurant (160m) in the village offering local dishes (seasonal opening times). The nearby village of Ljuta (6km), on the River Ljuta, has a couple of traditional restaurants where you can enjoy lunch or dinner on the riverside (refreshingly cool in the summer). The delightful small town of Gruda (7km) has a couple of supermarkets and a selection of cafes, restaurants and shops, while further afield the fabulous UNESCO city of Dubrovnik (34km) is a must visit. The clear waters of the Adriatic sea can be enjoyed at Molunat (18km), a charming fishing village with a beach and cafes.
We mention for information only that the owners live adjacent to Duka. They do not use any of the house facilities and your privacy is completely assured at all times.
