My wife and I were looking for a large house in Dubrovnik vicinities to rent so I could invite my business friends/partners from Austria and Germany in September 2014. We wanted swimming pool and barbecue as first condition, stone house with authentic atmosphere, second condition. I contacted a local real estate agency because one of my friends would like to see properties on sale and these people helped me find this house. First plus – only 5 kms from Dubrovnik airport, so we rented two cars and only one hour after landing we had unpacked our luggage and were having a drink. Parking for three cars inside iron gate, feels safe. Down the path to stone wall and second large wooden gate we enter green courtyard with everything that we wanted. Feels very private. Our host prepared pretty table on the terrace for our brunch first day and left fridge full with food and drinks, so we can enjoy our stay immediately before going shopping. Later we found excellent meat in Pemo food store near airport and bought fresh vegetables from the gardener for our barbecues. Our friends, three couples, slept in the main house and we slept in side cottage (very comfortable, like a suite). While our guests sleep on first and second floor, we prepared breakfast in the garden for them because there was a second kitchen on the ground floor. This house has great atmosphere because the same family are owners for two centuries. We drove often to Cavtat where there are lots of good fish restaurants. Like in Cote d’Azur you see many enormous yachts and sail boats. Our friends liked this area very much, because it is like Provence, close to sea, protected by mountains. We visited Dubrovnik once during the day (very crowded) and in the evening (fantastic). The old town and the whole area offers good life, fine weather, fascinating history and many cultural events.
