Successfully agency rented for over 10 years, this is one of Cavtat's only original Arts and Craft 1920’s summer house. The villa is very special as it was built and owned by an English lady and her local husband - they were said to have been friends with King Edward V111 and Wallace Simpson who apparently stayed with them in this house during their whirl wind tour of the Dalmatian Coast in the 1930’s! The house has been host to some other very distinguished guests and during it’s time between the 2 world wars, famous visitors to visit include; George Bernard Shaw, Hilaire Beloc and Sidney and Beatrice Webb. It has been lovingly restored by its new owners into a warm and friendly family home and is furnished with some lovely old pieces especially brought over from England.
The villa has very spacious accommodation and is ideal for 2 families or a group. The panoramic balcony views make waking up in the morning a joy and the terrace in the garden is a lovely spot to enjoy at any time of the day or evening. There is also a separate ‘little house’ – this used to be the servants cottage and is now a studio apartment.
The walled garden is lush with Mediterranean plants and flowers and enjoys a very secluded position. Floranneve boasts a large pool and there is a summer kitchen/BBQ area for al-fresco dining for those balmy summer evenings. There is also the `moroccan' outside sitting room which is a wonderful area to snooze and read in the shade during those warm afternoons. Table tennis, badminton and other outdoor games are on hand for extra amusement. And the house is just a 5 minute walk to the sea - with its waterfront bars, cafes, shops and restaurants – Floranneve's location is ideal. Cavtat is loved by all who visit – a real ‘gem’ of a harbour, unspoiled and full of history, where freshly caught seafood and delicious local wines are on offer at great local restaurants and bars, Picturesque coves surround the the village peninsular and beautiful narrow little streets make up the water front 1700's architecture.
