VILLA GABRIELA
Impeccable, carefully decorated accommodation with luxurious amenities and services.
VILLA GABRIELA HISTORY
The upper part was soon converted into a guest of the so-called. “Frušturica” for the accommodation of pilgrims and travelers of the governor. The lower part of the building, located on the shore of the sea, is an arcade-shaped room, “Arsenal” through which a wide porthole pulled the boat from the “mandrake”, ie the harbor that used to sail the monastery bays.
Frušturica and arsenal today form a harmoniously designed Villa Gabriela.
KORCULA ISLAND
CHARMING ISLAND. PEACEFUL PARADISE. CHARMING SMALL TOWN.
KORCULA ISLAND
One of the most popular travel destinations on Croatia’s South Dalmatian coast, the island of Korcula (pronounced Kor-chu-la) is also one of the greenest. It’s dark, dense pine forests inspired the Ancient Cnidian Greeks to name it Melaina Korkyra (Black Corfu or Corcyra, as their homeland region was once known), when they settled there in 6 BC.
Today, the lush pine forests remain as one of the main features of the hilly Adriatic island, especially along its north facing slopes, scattered with dry stone walls enfolding vineyards and olive groves; still cultivated as a livelihood by inland settlements today. In fact, two of the most popular Croatian white wines, Posip and Grk are grown on the island.
