The kitchen is equipped with all modern appliances and the space is perfect for leisurely intimate meals.

The villa’s bedrooms are comfortable, inviting and tastefully furnished. One of these is located in the separate annex on the ground floor, allowing those staying here a pleasant sense of privacy. The master-suite on the second floor leads on to a marvellous balcony with a table for two from which guests can gaze out over the mountains and the sea with its far-off islets.
Head outside and Villa Safranka continues to beguile. There is a size-able infinity swimming-pool tiled with glass mosaics and equipped with night lighting. Around the pool are a welcome array of sun loungers and pristine white sun-umbrellas where guests can indulge in lengthy siestas...

Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SafrankaVilla Safranka is located in the hills overlooking the picturesque fishing village of Mlini. It is just a seven-minute walk from the Mlini harbour and seafront. The beautiful and venerated city of Dubrovnik is only a 15-minute drive away (11.4 Km), whilst the ancient Hellenistic town of Cavtat is also easily accessible (9Km).
Mlini itself is a delightful village of authentic stone houses and some beautiful churches. The natural setting of the village is spectacular - lush mediterranean greenery and pine covered hills surround the village’s pebble beaches and shady promenades. The place hums with quiet serenity and visitors will love exploring the floral gardens and scenic coves dotted around Mlini bay.
There are plentiful culinary opportunities down at the seafront and guests can feast on fresh fish and organic wine in any number of lively local restaurants.
Mlini also boasts some enticing local beaches, most notably Mlini and Srebreno. Both are within easy walking distance from Villa Safranka and offer shady pebble beaches and shallow jade waters, making them perfect for family excursions. For those more inclined towards cultural exploration, the nearby Church of St Rocco, (1.5Km) is a must.
Just a short drive from Mlini is situated the glorious and ancient city of Dubrovnik. Described by George Bernard Shaw as ‘paradise on earth,’ Dubrovnik is frequently described as one of the most beautiful cities on earth, as evidenced by its status as an UNESCO world heritage site. Once the prosperous capital of the ancient republic of Ragusa, Dubrovnik is a maze of aristocratic piazzas, baroque churches and medieval fortresses. It is a resplendent example of an archaic walled city and provided the setting for much of the popular ‘Game of Thrones’ series. Dubrovnik is home to the oldest arboretum in the world as well as Europe’s third oldest pharmacy. Visitors of Dubrovnik must be sure to visit the city’s ‘Rectors palace’ as well as the fascinating Maritime museum. A trip up Mount Srd on the city’s cable car is also an unforgettable experience.
