Villa Mokosica is a delightful old house situated in the village of Mokosica in the canal called Rijeka Dubrovacka, separating the northern side from the old city of Dubrovnik. Before going into a more detailed description of the property, a few things about the locality should be mentioned. Firstly, Mokosica is a quiet, relatively little place with low population density and with very approachable residents. It has a few stores and markets, along with a restaurant and some good café bars. The beaches are rocky and very pretty, but for more content we suggest visiting Dubrovnik, as it offers a lot regarding history and summer activities. The area around the canal is stunning, rich in various types of flora native of the Mediterranean, like citrus trees, cypress, pine forests, palms and fragrant bushes like lavender and rosemary.
Villa Mokosica is an old Mediterranean villa built in traditional style and thus a perfect place to immerse yourself in the culture of the locality, to live like the people of old days did. At least to some extent, because even though the villa is old, comfort was raised to meet the modern standards. The villa is made of high quality stone, the main material of Mediterranean architecture. There are some other classic elements like the wooden door and window shades, stone walls enclosing the property and gorgeous gardens within its courtyard. The gardens are filled with small trees, flowers and spices, while some paved parts of the courtyard are decorated with vases containing various plants. The narrow space between the villa and the high stone wall a particularly nice area is located, with a table and a set of chairs positioned on terracotta tiles, and a cute garden right next to it. It’s just the perfect place to enjoy a cup of coffee or tea, a book or a conversation with a loved one. Behind the villa there is an upper level terrace overlooking the canal, which houses a lovely swimming pool and a Jacuzzi. Next to the pool and under the shade of a canvass canopy there is a number of deck chairs, ideal for leisure time. The interior of the villa is just as lovely as its exterior, containing some lovely vintage furniture like chests, old lamp tables, chairs, cupboards and wardrobes, adapted and renovated. The walls are painted either white or some light color like blue or purple, which fits perfectly with the notable amount of wood within the villa. The place feels naturally warm, homey and fresh. The living room is fantastic in every way, with its comfortable purple sofas, stone shelves and a large bookshelf filled to the brim with books on many themes. Behind the purple sofas there is a nice pool table and a large framed mirror beside it. It accommodates up to 17 guests in its 8 double bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. There is the mentioned living room, a fully equipped kitchen and dining room, summer kitchen and grill, a large gloriet and several terraces. The villa is air conditioned and it has access to internet (Wi-Fi). Maid service is available on request.
We suggest visiting Dubrovnik for a lot of engaging content and a truly memorable vacation. Dubrovnik is claimed to be one of the most beautiful places in the world, mostly due to its perfectly preserved centuries old architecture, rich history, warm southern climate, emerald green and dark blue sea spilling into numerous bays and coves, with steep reefs decorated with lush Mediterranean and subtropical flora. The City of Dubrovnik is under UNESCO protection due to its long history and heritage – the real origin of the city is unclear, but it certainly is an old city, persevering on its stony cliffs for at least 14 centuries. There is a lot of things to do and explore within the city limits, be it in historical aspects or purely for fun (like sports, sailing, yachting, nightlife or fine cuisine).
