Palace Natali, Croatia

• Timeless Dubrovnik glamour: Housed in an enchanting Renaissance villa close to Dubrovnik’s Old Town, Palace Natali oozes old-world sophistication. Combining the understated charms of a private summer house with all the amenities of a five-star hotel, you’ll be experiencing Dubrovnik like the European élite of times gone by, while meticulously-designed interiors create an atmosphere of contemporary minimalist luxury. Outside, the manicured Renaissance garden boasts idyllic views across the rugged mountains, cypress trees and idyllic villages all around you, while the majestic Adriatic glitters on the horizon.

• Elegant eats: Set across a spacious terrace overlooking the garden and an intimate stone-clad dining room, the villa’s stunning Natali Restaurant serves up gourmet delights in a refined yet laid-back setting. Feast on Mediterranean flavours with a creative fine-dining twist, as you take in serene views through the trees to the sparkling sea beyond. As the sun sets over the Adriatic, stick around to slow-sip a cocktail in the twilight, stroked by the soft evening breeze.

• Relax and unwind: Spend your days soaking up the sun by the tranquil outdoor pool, or drifting between endless secluded corners and shaded spots in the Renaissance garden. For a spot of high-end pampering, switch up sauna sessions and Jacuzzi stints with a soothing massage (fees apply), perhaps topped up with a workout in the villa’s cutting-edge gym. And when you aren’t picnicking or kicking back under the charming gazebo, head to a nearby beach to while away your hours on Croatia’s most dazzling shores.
