★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4 reviews · from $9Best value

Visit Villa Banac in Cavtat for about an hour and see Van Gogh’s Sunflowers alongside works linked to Bukovac and Picasso. Guides Tanya or Rosemary explain the villa and collection in Croatian or English. A glass of wine and food may be available afterward, but are not included.

“We had a really lovely time at Villa Banac. The tour guide, Tanya, was very knowledgeable about the artwork on show there and the history of the building.

You can enjoy some food there if you take the later tour.”
