I stayed at Villa Joe in September 2019 for three nights with a group of seven artist friends and had an absolutely fantastic time. The property was even more impressive than the photos show. It looked like we were the first guests after a fresh renovation - it was that clean and perfect-looking - but in reality it's just an extremely well-maintained home that has been lovingly decorated and cared for by the owners, Amila and Rusmer. The bedrooms are spacious and airy with immaculate linens and modern ensuite bathrooms, but the historic flavor of the property has been maintained, with beams and stone walls throughout. The living spaces are expansive and open, with plenty of room for a large group to mingle, cook, and relax. The kitchen was well-equipped, with multiple coffee makers, plenty of dishes and cutlery, and lots of cooking utensils. The outdoor spaces were beautiful and well-maintained.
Amila was quick and responsive in answering all of my pre-trip questions and even offered to pick up our large group (and all our luggage) from the airport, which is only a 5-minute drive from Villa Joe. She helped us throughout our stay when we had questions or needed to arrange for local services or food delivery. She recommended restaurants and activities, which turned out to be wonderful, and she couldn't have been nicer or more helpful the entire time we were there.
Villa Joe is very quiet, despite it being across the road and slightly over the hill from the Dubrovnik airport. It is not on the flight path for planes landing and departing from the airport, so we were rarely even aware that the airport was there. The close proximity made it really convenient, though, for pick-ups and drop-offs.
We used Uber throughout our stay to get around locally, and had no problem booking rides using "Villa Joe, Mocici" as the address.
The only drawback to this property is that it is not within easy walking distance of shops and restaurants. If you don't have a car, you'll have to taxi/Uber everywhere or take the public bus.
We LOVED our stay at gorgeous Villa Joe and were sorry to leave. I recommend it without reservation and will always remember with a smile the wonderful time I spent there with my friends.
