SEA VIEW LOCATION
Trsteno is an old settlement known for its sea captains and seamen, rich in history and natural heritage. It is famous for its two 500-year-old gigantic plane trees, protected monuments of nature, which are centrally located alongside the spring in the village. The abundant source of fresh water has ensured that Trsteno has lush, green vegetation, both natural and cultivated. Its XIII century arboretum, views, summer manor, pavilion, aqueduct, and fountain are one of the best examples of architecture found in the Dubrovnik area. With its natural beauty and vegetation, Trsteno is one of the loveliest places in the region. Its clean and unpolluted sea, shoreline promenades, possible excursions to the Elafiti Islands, and easy access to Dubrovnik, make Trsteno an ideal holiday resort all year round.
