This fabulous, boutique five-star hotel started life as a primary school and was even a prison during World War 2.
The current owners have looked more to its heritage as the cherished summer home of a Dubrovnik noble family and have carefully preserved the beautiful historic features including stone walls and arches. The property is a protected cultural monument dating back to 1573.
Approaching the hotel, Kazbek still looks like a private mansion built of traditional stone. There is a beautiful garden-courtyard in front of the building which is sea facing, with covered, shaded areas and tables and chairs. The outside courtyard has steps which lead up to the first level outside terrace. Blankets are provided for evenings in cooler periods.
Inside, the décor is traditional, even with a hint of an English country house and many of the guests are regular visitors from the UK
There is a beautiful outdoor pool and jacuzzi set in a garden to the rear of the property with sunbeds, pool towels and parasols. Further table seating for drinks and snacks and a pool bar serving these. Lunch can also be taken by the pool. The pool is heated if required (usually only April). A changing area is adjacent to the sauna area with direct access out to the pool.
Inside there is a stylish lounge with a vaulted stone ceiling, a small library area and a beautiful stone arched corridor leading to the indoor restaurant and bar. Breakfast is served from an a la carte menu and the restaurant served both international and Croatian dishes with an excellent wine list featuring Croatian wines and others.
The nearest beach is Sunset Beach on Lapad Bay, some 20 minutes’ walk and buses depart from near the hotel to the old town, journey time usually under 15 minutes.
