This villa was amazing in terms of construction and appointment -- comfortable beds, linens, furniture, smooth stone floors, Since all rooms have same bathrooms, king size beds and furniture, there was not a "bad" room in the place. Love how all the bedrooms are on top 2 floors away from the bottom living space. The views from every room were spectacular of the mountains and the bay. Welcome fruit, nuts stocked fridge and champagne were spectacular.
The location is amazing -- a short 10 min Uber ride away from the old city Dubrovnik, very short walk to grocery store (shorter than I thought from other reviews) for everything from fresh baked bread, wines and spirits, suntan lotion and even inflatable pool toys!, and if you follow the same path, you reach the bay in a few more hops. We walked around the bay for a long walk one evening to have dinner at one of the restaurants recommended by Pero, the owner. It was spectacular -- both the dinner and the walk!
Our stay was too short (only 3 nights). Given that our stay was short, the few shortcoming kept us from giving our review 5 stars -- as we would have if we had the few issues handled at the beginning of our stay rather than the middle of the 2nd day.
On the 1st night, we texted Pero that the pool was too cold. No response until the next morning when he made some adjustments in a locked utility closet. Later that day, the pool was still cool though you could feel slightly warmer water coming through the 2 jets at the stairs of the pool. Kids wanted 28C/80F or warmer. The pool was holding steady at 26C which was too cold for my skinny kids. And, the hot tub was cold too! The temp was about the pool temp and any attempt to adjust temp settings was futile. We sent Pero another note indicating importance of having the pool and hot tub temp fixed -- this time with specific temp requirements rather than a generic "warmer".
On the 1st morning, the coffee pot was broken. We uses the hot tea kettle and poured boiling water over the coffee. The 2nd morning the hot tea kettle was broken!
Pero did finally show later that morning with a new coffee machine and hot tea kettle. By then, pool temp was ok. He fixed the hot tub. That day and the next morning was perfection. Wish we could have stayed longer.
Other recs: add washcloths, conditioner and body lotion. We also used Stijepo's airport transfer which was super convenient. Pero and Stijepo were a pleasure to deal with. We have already recommended!
