The Villa was originally built as summer palace by an noble family of Ragusan republic in 17.th century. It is 10 meters of the sea, perfect for a quick dip, in a quiet suburb of Old Mokosica, 5 minutes walk to local good value shops, bars and restaurant, occupied mainly by Croatians, with very few tourists in evidence.Villa Mirak has a really peaceful and restful atmosphere. An excellent bus service is close by running to all major locations. We would describe the area as " spectacular rustic". All of the neighbours are very friendly - some own their property as a holiday home, so a few properties are not occupied all the year around. Part of the property comprises an old chapel, which is now used as a dining room with an amazing atmosphere. Outside there is a Renaissance style restored garden with its own natural well. Villa Mirak is 2 miles from the ACI Marina, and from the Port Town of Gruz 4 miles away. The Old City which is under Unesco protection as cultural monument is 4 miles from Villa,it is a major tourist attraction, with a large range of museums, restaurants and bars and excellent cultural activities including concerts and clubs.
