| "We absolutely loved staying at this house. We arranged for a minibus to pick us up from Dubrovnic airport (50 Euros) The drive takes about 40 minutes - the views on the way are stunning and as you approach the house the road swings around the Bay of Zaton and you get your first glimpse of the beautiful setting you will be staying in. The house feels like a home with all sorts of extras - loads of clean towels, everything you could possibly want in the kitchen, really powerful shower - and a CD player that wasnt mentioned -so bring some CDs if you like music . The garden was lovely and very prvate lots of trees to proved shade. There is a dining table inside and outside - with lovely views of the bay and a side garden with the stone BBQ and another seating area - couldnt have asked for more! Oh and the owner was lovely too with great English. Highly recommended - peaceful location but easy to get about."

| "Atruely excellent find! The house may be small and basic but has everything you could want (including fans) and the garden is a delight. The owner was very helpful and kind. The position is out of this world and the village very charming with wonderful bakery, a veg stall and plenty of very quiet and very good restaurants close by. Supermarket is a walk along the coat path.....go early before it gets to hot to walk!! The village is very peaceful and relaxing but plenty of help from the tourist info and excellent bus and boat trips to Dubrovnik and surrounding islands. A truely beautful spot with glorious beaches, coves, wooded walks close by. Everywhere very clean and unspoilt. A true gem of a find!!!!!"

| "Great villa in a great place. It has everything you need except air conditioning, which was not a great problem. The only slight downside is that the nearest supermarket is a very pleasant 20 minutes walk away.
There is a bread shop in the village that is open all hours and a fruit and veg stall that is open in the mornings, both within 3 minutes walk.
The bus to Dubrovnik leaves from the Information Office and takes about 15 minutes it costs HK14 and stops beside a large supermarket if you need to do a big shop.
There is a boat that leaves at 9.00 every morning to Dubrovnik and returns about 6.00 (HK25 one way HK40 return). You can get a bus from where it dro ps you into the old town.
The streets leading to the villa are narrow and our 7 seat taxi was too big to get through so we had to walk the last 100 or so metres. If you hire a car dont pick a big one!
The restaurants in zaton are great, try them all. Our favourite was the two pines. You have to try the black risotto and the fish cooked under the bell at Kasar, the restaurant closest to the villa.
If you are looking for a quiet relaxing place to chill out you couldnt pick a better spot."

| "If you are looking for 5 star luxury then look elsewhere BUT if what you want is value for money accommodation in an indyllic setting then I would recommend this place very highly.
The property is situated just back from the sea in a private location. As a previous reviewer said, the facilities are a little dated but this does not detract at all the kitchen is ceratinly well equipped if you want to self cater. We didnt hire a car which is fine if you are primarily looking to relax. There is a reasonable bus service to Dbrovnik that goes 5/6 times a day. The supermarket in the village has closed but the nearest one is a 2km walk along the coast footpath.
The local restaurants are excellent I would definitely recommened the Kasar (it is pictured by the boat on the website) for fantastic fish and the main bar in the village for those who prefer steak. A day out on the 3 island cruise on the M/S Zvir which sails from the village is also a must. If you are looking for somewhere to really relax then this is the place for you we are already planning a return visit.

| "The villa is in a beautiful location - very quiet and literally right by the sea. The road to the villa is extremely narrow in places which can be a bit unnerving but is fine once you get used to it (one false move and you could be in the sea!). Inside is comfortable although a little dated however you will find everything you could possibly need for your stay. Bring a couple of jumpers for chilly autumn/spring evenings though as there is no heating.
All in all we had a wonderful week, the owner is very welcoming and helpful and we would certainly go back again."

| "Fantastic location only a short car ride from Dubrovnik. Property is set away from the main coastal road, which can be very busy. You literally walk out of the garden and you are by the sea in a very safe, sheltered bay.
Property comes with kayaks and a surf board, which our children loved messing around on. No complaints of being bored on this holiday.
The owner is a very sweet lady, who speaks very good English.
The house is basic but with everything you need in the kitchen and lots of towels etc. It does get a bit stuffy inside as there is no aircon or fans. But great outdoor barbeque area, with lots of seating.
A great little place in a perfect setting.
Be warned - the roads down to the village are very, very narrow. We live in Devon and are used to narrow tracks but these were something else. If you are driving a wider than average car - ie MPV, park at the top of the road and walk down."

| "The house was ideally situated next to the sea with a lovely private garden. Plenty of restaurants locally at good prices. Local bus or boat to Dubrovnik.
Access to the house would be very difficult with a large car.
The owner was very welcoming."

| "The house is nice and private. It has all you need, except maybe fans. The village of Zaton Veliki is nice with a few good restaurants. The road is small, so drive slow. The swimming is wonderful just outside the house, bring swim shoes. This is a great place for kids, very safe.
Make sure to walk up the hill for a nice view. The house is close to Dubrovnik and all the nice islands. We loved Mjlet. A day trip to the Bay of Kotor, Montenegro was wonderful. Over all a great place to spend a holiday.

| "A nice holiday in a homely property right next to the warm clear sea. The owner was very helpful and speaks good English, and the village itself has several good places to eat and drink. One word of warning however is that the road to the property is very narrow and can be difficult to negotiate."
