The house
Adriatic Luxury HotelsTerraced cliffside villa
The historic villa sits high on a limestone bluff, trading the city's crowds for quiet terraces and open-sea views.
What it’s good at
What they say
Also in AFAR.
The guest rooms have a contemporary design and showcase locally sourced wood and stone, materials long used in the region’s architecture.
Right in the middle
Well-located: walkable to some things, a short ride to more.
Banje Beach sits just down the coast, and the Old Town's Ploče Gate is a five-minute walk west.
The rooms
Interiors use regional stone and wood, and most rooms open onto balconies facing the gardens or the sea.
The pools
Bring a swimsuit.
A 28-meter outdoor pool faces the Old Town walls, and an 18-meter pool sits under stone arches indoors.
The spa
A Finnish sauna and a Himalayan salt room sit beside a quiet room with heated deckchairs.
At the table
Dining terraces face the Old Town for fresh Adriatic seafood, and Copper Bar pours cocktails in the gardens.
How it began
Investor Ivo Milić built the villa in 1913, naming it Argentina after a stay in South America.

The city grew up with it. Same rituals, same regulars, same bar.

A world of its own. Something to do from breakfast to nightcap.
