Cavtat holiday apartment: CAVTAT

We had a wonderful holiday at these apartments recently. The views towards Dubrovnik over the bay are exceptional with beautiful sunsets. Jadranka and Paula are very helpful and kind and offer information and advice about the local area and places further afield to visit. They also arranged car hire which we used for two days;on one of these we drove to Montenegro and around the bay of Kotor with some beautiful scenery. We used local buses and boats to get around and walked into Cavtat, which is not over developed, a very pleasant down hill walk of about 15 minutes to a beach and about 30 minutes to the centre where there is a good selection of restaurants and a lovely harbour to stroll around. There is also a watersports centre. The owners offered lifts back up to the apartments, and also collected from the airport. The swimming pool area is very well maintained, and has the view across the bay. The apartments are well equipped and very clean, with linen and towells changed frequently.In Cavtat it is possible to arrange excursions such as to Mostar or a variety of boat trips.

A very nice, clean and well equipped two bed apartment with a great view overlooking the bay towards Dubrovnik. There was a nice pool area shared with the other apartment residents. The supermarket was a very short (100m) walk and had pretty much everything you need.

The apartment is located approximately a 5 - 10 mins bus ride from the restaurants etc in Cavtat. We usually walked there (nb. it is a very steep hill!) taking about 20 mins or so but got the bus back (they run very regularly). I think older people may struggle with walking around - there aren't any pavements to speak of in the area.

Dubrovnik was a short 30 - 40 minute bus ride away and the old city is really lovely. We'd recommend walking around the city walls.

We also went to the Islands by boat from Cavtat - its quite a long trip to the first island but well worth the visit. The waters are crystal clear and make sure you pack your swimming togs.

The owner, Jadranka, was very helpful - picked us up and dropped off at the airport as well as driving us down to Cavtat on the first night for dinner. Her colleagues were also very helpful and if needed would give advice about day trips and car hire.

The meals were more expensive than we anticipated. The meat and fish were all very nice but the side vegetables were a little bland - either chips (fried) or boiled potatoes with spinach! Restuarant Leut was very enjoyable and we also went to a a very nice place by the bus stop (sadly I can't remember the name but it wasn't Restaurant Ivan, which was also by the bus station but overlooked the harbour!).

We stayed in a 1 bedroom apartment in May and thoroughly enjoyed it. The apartment and swimming pool were very clean and well maintained. The owners, Jadranka and Paula, could not have been more friendly and helpful, giving lifts back up the hill whenever required and supplying lots of information about the area. Transfers from and to the airport worked out perfectly. The area is very picturesque and the people very friendly. The restaurants we ate in were all very good. I would certainly recommend it to my friends. Hopefully will return sometime in the future.
