Villa Kazbek is a luxury 5 star boutique hotel owned by the Swedish investment company Pervanovo. The company’s aim is to acquire the best located monumental properties in and around Dubrovnik and to renovate them back to their former glory.
Pervanovo’s policy is to maintain as much of the original building as possible whilst at the same time refurbishing to the highest possible standards and comfort levels. The first and the great example is the boutique hotel Kazbek.
It was constructed in 1573 by one of the Dubrovnik noble families Zamanja as their summer residence. Although designed as a place for peace and relaxation history had other plans and the Dubrovnik Villa Hotel passed through various violent ages.
Kazbek is now fully renovated to the highest standards and has regained its original beauty and function as a summer residence for guests with high demands in privacy and culture combined with modern facilities.
This impressive villa is situated directly on the coast in the bay of Gruz just 3 kilometers from the Old City of Dubrovnik. Our 5 Star Hotel in Dubrovnik offers a high degree of privacy and customizable renting plans in its 12 double rooms and 1 suite. It is possible to rent an entire floor or even the entire castle if required.
Our aim is that our guests should not have the feeling of staying in a regular hotel, but more the feeling of staying at a renaissance castle with the services and privacy that comes with it. A perfect harmony of the past and the present. The whole Kazbek area is a completely non-smoking zone.
HISTORY
The history of the Kazbek Villa is rich and complex. Our Palace Dubrovnik Hotel has been constructed in 1573 by one of the Dubrovnik noble families Zamanja as a summer residence. Although designed as place for peace and relaxation history had other plans and the villa 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 World War II the building was used by the aggressors 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.
When Croatia became an independent and democratic state the Kazbek property was denationalised and 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 Pervanovo in 2006. Some of the exterior had been partly refurbished however it was still an empty shell. A true tale of riches to rags and back to riches again.
From the 14th to 16th centuries, the people of Dubrovnik constructed 300 country homes and summer residences around the city, in Lapad and Gruz, as well as from Cavtat to Slano.
In the beginning, they were constructed as private landowner estates but were later used as summer homes where their owners spent time reading, creating art, and creating Dubrovnik Renaissance literature, philosophy, and culture.
The Gothic and Gothic-Renaissance constructions, similar in blueprints because of their large terraces, gardens and trellises, are among the greatest architectural achievements in this part of the Mediterranean.
Today, the majority of these summer residences are abandoned and destroyed, but there are several that are still used today as residential homes or tourism accommodations – we are PROUD to say that – KAZBEK is one of them.
RENOVATION
The interior of Kazbek went through a complete overhaul by Pervanovo in order to both modernise the old castle and at the same time bring it back to its former glory.
The renovations were performed in close cooperation with the Dubrovnik conservators and the Dubrovnik construction and building company Alfaplan.
Kazbek Hotel in Dubrovnik is now renovated to the highest standard of luxury Dubrovnik hotels and has regained its original beauty and function as a summer residence for guests with high demands for privacy and culture combined with modern facilities.
It is today used as a high class hotel and the shine the building once had it glowing again.

DINING
Croatia is a small country with an abundant culinary tradition. The modest area comprises three diverse geographical regions where continental, mountainous and Mediterranean climate intertwine.
As part of the rich cultural heritage, Croatian cuisine has also been shaped through centuries of ever-changing and turbulent history. Today we could name it the cuisine of four elements, as its flavors are influenced by the sea, sun, winds and fertile land.
The beauty of Croatian gastronomic traditions lies in their simplicity, infused by fresh, seasonal ingredients, but also in the art of processing, cooking and sharing food.
Croatian cuisine is a way of life. Precisely that aspect has been decisive in the protection of Mediterranean diet as intangible cultural heritage – the tradition of eating together is the foundation of the cultural identity and continuity of communities throughout the Mediterranean basin.
It emphasizes the importance of family gatherings, social exchange and communication, as well as the values of hospitality, intercultural dialogue and creativity. The Croatian continental cuisine shares these principles, while it tells a different, heartier story.
Our menu is the selection of the most beautiful Croatian culinary fairytales, seasoned with a pinch of modernism and the freshest local produce, accompanied by best Croatian wines for a complete gourmet experience. All you have to do is savor the flavors.
Our menu reflects a pride in Croatian cuisine and produce. Our ingredients are the finest and freshest available, and of course are all locally produced. The Kazbek Hotel in Dubrovnik is proud to present three elegant dining & cocktail venues in Dubrovnik.
