Only 30 minutes easy drive from Dubrovnik Airport, heading south towards Montenegro, the Villa was easy to find once we understood the directions. Set in the shadow of the mountains in a rural hamlet, the villa is wonderfully peaceful, with one small house nearby, which was unoccupied during the week and only used at the weekend.
The Villa was surrounded by a field and goats were our only neighbours most of the time.
We were met by the wonderful Azra, who has excellent English, and she gave us a tour of the villa, which was immaculately clean and tidy.
There were two bedrooms upstairs one with an outside balcony area with enough room for tables and chairs, the other bedroom was large and well appointed. There was a shared bathroom and separate toilet for these rooms.
Downstairs, there was the master bedroom with dressing room and though to an ensuite shower room.
A very well equipped kitchen and breakfast area, although we always ate outside next to the pool. There was also a separate lounge area which also had another dining table (never used). In the lounge was a large television, connected to satellite.
There were also two bicycles to borrow, but sadly one had a puncture and no way to repair.
Outside the pool area was very spacious and there was a table tennis table with bats and balls.
The villa, although slightly quirky in layout was perfect for our family of 6 and everyone had a comfortable time.
The nearest supermarket is a 20 minute drive, so you need plan your shopping to make sure you are not popping out the whole time.
The closest (and almost only) sandy beach was only 10 minutes drive away in the car, but was small and pretty busy at times. It is hard to find sandy beaches in south Croatia, unless you hire a boat and go exploring.
Cavtat was just beyond the airport going north, and this was great for eating out, walking the harbour, and fantastic ice creams. You also hire boats and get the water taxi to Dubrovnik, about 1 hour by water taxi.
In summary, Azra was fantastic, and always available at the end of the phone if we had any questions or problems, the Villa was perfect for our holiday and we would recommend this for a relaxing family holiday.
