Ottoman Villa Velagomed

Velagicevina b.b. - 88210 - Blagaj
Ottoman Villa Velagomed, Blagaj The Ottoman Villa Velagomed, also known as “Velagićevina”, is an important monument of the Ottoman era in Blagaj, close to Mostar in southern Bosnia and Herzegovina. Constructed in 1766, the Villa Velagomed consists of several houses, a mill, a washing area, and a cave in splendid mature gardens. The gardens are split in 2 by the river Buna, creating an island accessible by small wooden bridges. The property sits at the feet of sheer cliffs, which are dominated by the Herceg Stjepan fortress. Distributed over 2 floors, the rooms overlook the garden and the river Buna. The typically Mediterranean garden is peaceful and full of flowers. Access to the rooms is by the vast living room of the house called Hayat. The rooms' thick walls provide natural air conditioning in summer. The furniture is chosen with taste, as are the bedding, linen and towels.
