This house was built by the father of Dusan Popov who lived here in his early age and was one of the most famous double agents during World War II. He was the original Ian Flemming’s inspiration for the James Bond character and the subject of a number of non-fiction books and documentaries.
Nestled in the green heart of Dubrovnik in the charming neighborhood of Lapad, the enchanting Villa Aria combines the charm of an ancient structure with modern renovations. Just a short ride from the iconic Dubrovnik Old Town, this villa is perfectly situated among scenic seaside walking trails, lush pine forests, and nearby beaches, offering the ideal blend of tranquility and accessibility.
The property consists of a main house with two floors and an attic featuring a studio apartment, along with two adjoining buildings: a one-bedroom guest house complete with a kitchen, living room, and bathroom, and a gym and sauna building for ultimate relaxation. Additionally, a private garage provides added convenience.
Outside, you’ll find ample garden and terrace space, featuring a sparkling pool, comfortable sunbeds, and two outdoor showers—creating the perfect setting for unwinding and soaking up the sun. Whether you’re seeking relaxation or adventure, Villa Aria offers an unforgettable retreat in a breathtaking location.

We had the most amazing time at this beautiful place!
The house is perfect, and the garden was a hit with the kids – they had so much space to play and run around. It’s just a short walk to the beach, so we spent a lot of time by the water, which was so convenient. The whole family felt right at home here. Everything we needed was close by, and we couldn’t have asked for a better getaway!
Major-league holiday!
I have never booked an AirBnB stay for a home with no reviews, yet after reviewing reviews of other Awaytocroatia’s homes, I took the chance. Please know that this villa is AMAZING and actually surpassed my expectations. One of the most important details that wasn’t posted on the listing was the complete walkability to numerous restaurants, bars, and the water! We were a group of 8, with half being our young adult children. It was such a safe location that we felt 100% comfortable with them being out late and it made our life easier to have them be able to just walk anywhere from the house. We loved every minute of our stay!
Wat een fantastische plek!
We hadden een geweldige tijd met de familie. Het huis is perfect – alles wat we nodig hadden was aanwezig. De jongens waren helemaal gek op de gym, dat was echt een pluspunt! De tuin was ideaal voor de kinderen om te spelen, en het was gewoon een super relaxte sfeer voor iedereen. We hebben echt genoten van het hele verblijf en zouden graag terugkomen. Alles was top, en we hebben echt mooie herinneringen gemaakt!
