KAZBEK Hotel Laid-back Luxury Dubronik

[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]

Located on the Croatian side of the Adriatic coastline Dubrovnik is a treasure – trove of cultural – historical monuments that were created throughout its thousand-year existence.

A walled, sea-battered city lying at the foot of a grizzled mountain, Dubrovnik is Croatia’s most popular tourist destination, and it’s not difficult to see why. An essentially medieval town reshaped by Baroque planners after a disastrous earthquake of 1667, Dubrovnik’s historic core seems to have been suspended in time ever since. Set-piece churches and public buildings blend seamlessly with the green-shuttered stone houses, forming a perfect ensemble relatively untouched by the twenty-first century.

Outside the city walls, suburban Dubrovnik exudes Mediterranean elegance: gardens are an explosion of colorful bougainvillea and oleanders; trees are weighted down with figs, lemons, oranges and peaches.

As a City-Republic, it was alongside Venice as one of the most famous cultural-economic centres on the Mediterranean. In more recent times, Dubrovnik has hosted modern cultural and tourist events. It is a city of summer festivals, an international parade of top musical and theatrical achievements and a city of museums and galleries.


Kazbek Hotel, Laid-back Luxury in Dubronik

A sophisticated boutique setting with only 12 superior and deluxe bedrooms and 1 suite, the Kazbek Hotel is a ‘home from home’ for many discerning Dubrovnik visitors looking for a high degree of privacy and modern facilities in a historical ambience. This luxury 5 star boutique hotel is in one of the best-located monumental properties in and around Dubrovnik.

.

The history of the Kazbek Villa is as rich and as complex as the history of the medieval city in which it is located. It’s a story of glory and neglection and of pride and plundering, a real life phoenix from the flames.

Originally constructed in 1573 by one of the Dubrovnik noble families Zamanja as a summer residence the villa started its life as a place designed for peace and relaxation but history had other plans and the property passed through various violent ages.

Firstly it was burned and plundered in 1806 by aggressors, which left only the bare shell of the building standing. Then during the World War II the building was used by the occupiers as a detention centre for prisoners of war.

After the war the castle was confiscated by the government of the time and used as a school and then as a storage unit. Over these turbulent years the villa was significantly damaged and the valuable parts were either stripped or destroyed, the former glow has dimmed. When Croatia became an independent state the Kazbek property was returned to its private owner. But after years of bad maintenance and neglect it was in a terrible condition. Ownership then changed hands several times before it was finally acquired by the current owners, who have lovingly restored the once elegant glow to its former perfection. Kazbek is now a harmony of the past and the present. Combining the refined beauty of historical elegance with the convenience of modern life Kazbek has the best of both worlds.

The impressive villa is situated directly on the coast in the bay of Gruz just three kilometres from UNESCO protected Dubrovnik Old Town.

A marina in front of the Kazbek is convenient not only for guests interested in sailing, but also for those looking to explore the numerous islands around Dubrovnik.

If the walls could only talk what stories they could tell. Each room is a work of art and each has its own special place in history. At Hotel Kazbek we pride ourselves on our individuality and our rooms are certainly no different.

.

Just to add to the historical experience each single piece of furniture in Kazbek has been handmade in order to achieve the true old Dubrovnik feeling of the highest class.

All of the twelve rooms and 1 suite have been decorated and furnished individually to make your staying in Dubrovnik unique. They even each have their own coat of arms taken from the old Dubrovnik ancestry.

Kazbek’s amenities include: heated outdoor swimming pool with Jacuzzi, sauna, indoor restaurant with Courtyard and Balcony terrace and library

In the marina in front of boutique hotel in Dubrovnik is available for private transfers and for excursions to the nearby islands, the speedboat (10 persons + crew).

The rich and varied gastronomic cultures of Croatia are not only served at Kazbek, they are proudly presented in their full and glorious light.

Croatian cuisine is heterogeneous, and is therefore known as “the cuisine of regions”. The cuisine reflects the influence of various cultures, having distinctive regional qualities.

The menu reflects a pride in Croatian cuisine and produce and the ingredients are the finest and freshest available, and of course are all locally produced.
