Historical Former Monastery on Lopud Island, near Dubrovnik, Croatia

Perched on the northernmost tip of Lopud island, the villa overlooks the small harbour and islands beyond. Sensitively restored from its 15th century incarnations, it is a private, tranquil retreat that seamlessly merges history and heritage. The 13 original rooms have been elegantly transformed into five private suites, each with its own bathroom and views over the ocean or out onto the monastery’s medicinal gardens awash with Mediterranean greenery, herbs and native fauna. At the heart of the property, with sweeping views over the sea, lies a fortress that once protected the security of the island’s inhabitants, providing shelter and a means of defence against the attacks of Ottoman pirates. From the top of the fortress, experience majestic views over the neighbouring island of Šipan and the national park on Mljet.

Thoughtfully restored using bespoke joinery and historic plastering techniques, the interiors effortlessly fuse bespoke furniture by Italian designer Paola Lenti with historic renaissance pieces from the Thyssen-Bornemiza collection. Contrasting with the ancient architecture, walls are adorned with carefully curated contemporary art pieces from the TBA21 Collection.
