Villa on the edge of a medieval town near Dubrovnik, 5-minute walk to the beach

The villa is located in Croatia's southernmost town, Cavtat, built on a pine-scented peninsula. The medieval town occupies one half the peninsula, the forest covers the other. The villa is on the edge of either. Over 400 year old, it has all modern conveniences, such as a state-of-the-art kitchen, while its old charm has been retained. Cavtat features among the most beautiful towns in Croatia. Its boulevard overlooks a splendid bay, and is lined with restaurants, cafés, and super yachts. It boasts better beaches than Dubrovnik, which is within easy reach by boat or bus. Cavtat is an upmarket town in an upmarket region. Discos are banned in the old town, and the only buzz comes from the restaurant- and café-terraces on the palm-lined boulevard. Yet, even this buzz cannot be heard from the villa, which is built on the top of a small hill (40-odd steps).

This traditional stone house is just about 150m from the old town promenade with the cafes, restaurants and shops. The house can be reached either from the main parking (a 100m path with some 40 steps) or from the town promenade (a slightly longer but less steep climb through medieval streets). However, the house is not convenient for people with walking difficulties.
Entering the property you will find yourself on a spacious and furnished terrace dominated by a huge bougainvillea, and orange and lemon trees. The terrace is a perfect getaway to the sunny beaches that line peninsula, all of which can be reached by foot in 5 to 10min.
The main entrance leads you into the fully equipped kitchen, beyond which there is a partially separated dining area for 8 people and living area with a television set (Netflix, Chromcast) and DVD-player (with a collection of films). The internal stair case leads you to the first floor with a double bedroom and en-suit bathroom with shower, a second double bedroom and a separate bathroom with shower. The second (top) floor has one more double bedroom and twin bedroom, as well as and a separate bathroom with shower. Both top floor bedrooms have lovely views of Tiha bay.
The house is fully air conditioned with units in each bedroom, the kitchen and the living room, and on the top floor landing. There is Internet Wi-Fi and the utility room in outside area equipped with a washing machine and a tumble-dryer.
The closest beach is a rock beach just 100m from the house where you can also find water sports center. Banks, shops, a (modest) green and fish market, a pharmacy and the post office are within a 5-10min walk.
This villa radiates old world charm beauty and is perfect for family or group of friends looking for the Mediterranean way of life.
There is no private parking as the house is situated within the pedestrian area of the old town, but there is a public parking down by the sea. It is paid and a parking card can be provided for 300kn (this was the last year’s fee and will probably remain the same).

Family in the sun
Fantastic location, beautiful courtyard for evening meals, well equipped kitchen, and everything is spacious and comfortable- even for 4 couples and a very young baby. Aircon that allows very real comfort. Handy to Dubrovnik boats, taxi and beaches as well as restaurants and the charm of the old town

Enjoyed Our Stay
We enjoyed our stay at Cavtat. As all the other reviews state, the stairs/climb to the property are no joke. Our group kept joking about it getting easier but it wasn't. Make sure to pack light or be prepared to haul your luggage!

A wonderful stay
We booked airport transfers with the owner, these went very smoothly, Ida met our taxi in the car park near the house and took us up to the house. It's beautifully renovated, spacious, well equipped and set in a very pretty garden. Ida was very helpful giving us lots of information for our stay and her watts App contact details should we need her. The steps were a challenge on arrival but we soon got used to them, we often took a longer less steep route from the waterfront through the village to the house. The house was perfect for us, we had a wonderful holiday in Cavtat and would love to return.

Absolutely Fabulous
Terrific villa in a charming old village. There are 3 great beaches within easy walking distance and a nice selection of cafes on the main street. The easy access to Dubrovnik via water taxi was nice (about 30 min away). The caretaker Suzana was very helpful. All in all this was a great place to spend a relaxing week.

Cavtat House on the Hill
A lovely house that suited myself and my friends very well. The 100 or so steps up from the harbour got easier as the week went on! And they gave us a good excuse to eat more without feeling guilty. Cavtat is a charming town with a beautiful harbour and plenty of restaurants. We particularly recommend Leut and Toranj. The service and the food at both places were excellent.

Family Holiday in Cavtat
We found the property exactly as described on the website. The house was lovely and the air-conditioning was very effective without being noisy. All the arrangements were very efficient with both the property owner and manager. We appreciated being able to check-in early on our arrival day. We very much enjoyed our stay in Cavtat, the snorkelling was a highlight for everyone.

Great accommodation for group of friends or large family
From booking to checking out everything was handled perfectly. Both the outside and inside were spacious and well appointed. As 3 couples we were able to have our bedroom and shower/toilet. The kitchen was well appointed for cooking our own meals and Cavtat had plenty of restaurants if eating out was preferred. Yes you have to get your luggage up the hill when arriving but it’s well worth it. If returning, this would be the first place we would look to book.

Great stay in Cavtat
The property was lovely and the outside space was great. Make sure you take mosquito spray as we all got several bites. As the property says it has quite a few stairs but for us it wasn’t a problem and helped with the daily exercise.

Beautiful Villa - Amazing location
We were a group if seven, celebrating our joint 70th birthdays. The villa is beautifully situated on the top of a small peninsula and can only be accessed by steps, but we managed! It is very clean and well equipped and Susana, the housekeeper is most helpful. Cavtat is a beautiful little harbour. Plenty of water-side restaurants and a couple of supermarkets It's easy to get to Dubrovnic by boat or bus. We so enjoyed our stay here and the owner was most helpful.
