Walk through the heavy front doors of Villa Dworski and you walk into a world long past.
Rooms, redolent of former Kingdoms and Empire, accommodate family portraits and period furniture, naval memorabilia and a unique archive: photographs, personal letters and documents chart the rich history of 20th century Rijeka and Sušak, the latter days of the Austria-Hungarian navy, and consular activities in the 1930s.
Generous terraces, enhanced by rosemary, laurel and sage lead down to the sparkling Adriatic.
