This unusual property is a delightful, historic, stone-built detached villa dating back to the 15th century which is located in an elevated position on the car-free island of Lopud in Croatia. The house has wonderful vine-covered terraces, a summer kitchen, a bbq and sea views from the upper level.
Currently run as a holiday lettings business, the house could equally be converted back to a private residence. Presently composed of three separate apartments (one on each storey) the villa provides a total of five bedrooms.
