Villa vacation rentals in Ploče iza grada

We had the good fortune to find Andrea and Diana's home late in the season after the rush of tourists that fill the restaurants and clogg the local roads. Our timing helped make our first experience in southern Croatia less stressful than it might have been. The home was spectacular. The modern house is located in a quiet neighborhood village on the outskirts of Dubrovnik with ample space for parking. The roads in the village are tight, but roadside mirrors help. Because of our timing many of the restaurants around the house were closed for the season. A cafe with incredible views and reasonable prices was within walking distance. The local mom and pop shop was open in the morning and late afternoon, but was not opend during their ample early afternoon break. If you're driving bring groceries with you. That being said, Andrea and Diana had the house stocked with essentials from bred to cereal and milk. That was a fantastic treat. The kids loved the pool!

Overall we had an excellent stay and highly recommend the villa, everything is as described! Only 2 things to be aware of: i) when getting a taxi from the airport, give the address with the street number so they know where to drop you off to climb up some street stairs that get to the villa. ii) take repellent with you for mosquitoes (we were there in early October). Enjoy!

We loved our stay at the villa. The location was ideal being a short distance from the airport, Cavtat and Dubrovnik. The borders to Montenegro and Bosnia are also nearby. We hired a car for our stay and would say it’s essential to really appreciate the area. The villa has a homely feel although a bit dated in its interior decor, it worked so well for us all, enabling private areas and space. Aircraft did fly by but did not affect our enjoyment of the property. The real plus for us all was the outside space …. So gorgeous with fruit in abundance; kiwis, limes, pomegranates, figs, apples, damsons and quince. The outlook was stunning and the pool was perfect and cleaned regularly. The nearby beach was 20 minutes walk away. A steep decline but stunningly beautiful. Local wineries are worth visiting and their produce impressive. Anna was very approachable and helpful.

Ivana's place is perfectly located, right at the entrance to the Old Town, by the Buza Gate. Everything is walking distance and the place is always full of life. She is so friendly and helped us get to and from the car park when we arrived and when I was heading back to the airport. Would highly recommend for people looking to experience the Old Town! It really does feel like living in King's Landing for a few days

Villa was amazing. Cared for by hosts from start to finish. The organised boat trip touring three islands is an absolute must. Eight of us shared the Villa and it was a perfect size. The villa is ideally situated with bakery, supermarket and pizza restaurant within a very short distance and beautiful bay, shops and more restaurants within 15-20 minutes walk. Hosts gave direct number so we could contact them throughout our stay. Amazing time had by all.

When we first arrived we were slightly concerned by the smallish rooms, separate apartments and view spoilt marginally by telelphone cables. But honestly , as we stayed longer at the villa it was perfect. You can walk to the baker at the bottom of the hill for daily breakfast. The villa is clean and tidy and modern albeit the cupboard space and bathrooms are small but modern. Marko was a lovely host and gave us fresh meat and cheese. Our best day was the boat trip to the islands, swimming in caves, cliff jumping and a lovely seaside lunch in Lopud. You can pay for hotel facilities at the bottom of the hill (5 min walk) - tennis, badminton, jet skiing, beach and restaurants which are all fabulous. We didn’t hire a car and used Uber which isn’t the easiest but doable. Restaurants in Zaton were lovely. You cannot get bored of the amazing view from the outside area with a lovely salt water pool and loungers with unspoilt views to the islands and passing boats. Highly recommended stay!

What a beautiful home Diana and Mihaela have! We spent a week here with friends (4 kids and 4 adults) and there was plenty of space. The layout is so well designed and the locked gate made it so we never worried about the kids safety. It is just a 5 minute walk to the grocery store and shopping and a 10 minute walk to a rock beach and marina for easy ferry transportation to Cavtat and Old Town. Ubers were aplenty and the home was spotless. 11/10 recommend this place, you will be coming back!

Lovely location - within walking distance of the waterfront and harbour. Lovely views from front bedroom balcony and patio. Two very nice bathrooms - one on the ground floor and one on the first floor. It was lovely to sit on the patio around the pool. Staircase to first floor is steep! We rarely used the kitchen as we prefer to eat out in the evening. There was an array of restaurants to choose from . We had an ice cream most nights from a fabulous ice cream shop near the supermarket and bought croissants and bread from the bakers every day. Had a lovely relaxing break. Kristina is a great host and quickly answers any questions you may have.

Maja is one of the most amazing hosts . Her home, the location , the welcoming, and overall atmosphere she created was top notch . Can not wait to come back!

We had an amazing stay! Hosts were extremely responsive and helpful. Some of my family members arrived on a Sunday and as the local shop was closed Nike drove them to a bigger supermarket to get food supplies for the house. She did not need to do this but it was greatly appreciated. Location is amazing. Approx 15 mins taxi into Old Town and Uber cost approx €9-10. Local shop 5 mins walk and well stocked. Area is so peaceful and setting absolutely stunning. We enjoyed many days sitting out on the terrace just admiring the view and peaceful sounds. House was spotless and had everything you could need. Would highly recommend staying here and would love to return again and would definitely stay here without a doubt

What can I say! Jelena and Robert provided the best airbnb experience I’ve had so far. Extremely helpful and responsive. Provided Videos for check-in to explain the exact location of the apartment and some useful tips inside. Jelena was super attentive and never took longer than an hour to respond to any queries. She contacted us prior to arrival to arrange an airport transfer, which for a group of 7 turned out to be a great idea. It was super smooth and the driver tracked our flight and met us in arrivals. Transfer time is approx 30 mins. There are about 85 stairs from the drop off point/main road to the apartment and a total of approx 300 when going from old town to the apartment. Good exercise after great meals out!! The apartment had everything we needed, Smart TV’s in most rooms, 2 bathrooms/showers and the kitchen was well equipped with a coffee machine, sandwich grill, dishwasher and all the utensils you’d need to make anything. 10/10 would definitely recommend. Thank you J & R!

This home is a short drive to Dubrovnik and is between the two harbours of Srebreno and Mlini which have lovely little cafes, restaurants and beaches. You can walk for bakery and basic groceries or drive 5 minutes to a larger grocery store. The pool area and view is spectacular. We ate all our at home dinners outside on the large dining table. It would be nice to have a few basic kitchen supplies in the smaller kitchens by the bedrooms (plates, cups, glassware, cutlery) but we managed easily enough by bringing them up from the main kitchen. This home was perfect for our family of 3 couples and a baby. Mato was warm and welcoming and gave us great parking advice for Dubrovnik!

What a lovely way to kick off a holiday with our family - on arrival Diana had prepared some local meats and cake as a welcome. The house is 5 star luxury, the view is stunning, beds are so comfortable, and we loved using the outdoor kitchen by the pool. This is the best stocked airbnb we’ve ever stayed in. Diana truely made us welcome and is a fantastic host. She helped us organise dinners and a day out on a boat. So many great memories from our holiday. Thanks Diana you are simply amazing.

The right place to stay for a bachelor party. Quiet. Space available. Nice garden. Separate buildings is a plus Friendly hosts

This house is AMAZING and has everything you need. Immaculately cleaned on arrival and lovely welcome drinks and food. Great property for a big group or 2 families- lots of areas around the property to spread out and chill. So much to do in the house too. The pool area is the best bit- it was truly magical. The photos of this house do not do it justice- it was much better than we imagined. All our transfers and other requests were met. For future guests - make sure you have a car as this house is quite far away in the mountains- stunning views but definitely need a car as it's not exactly where it is on the Airbnb map. Loca taxi drivers were amazing though. We will definitely return!

Kind and helpful host. Area was nice and quiet, lovely view of the hills. Pool area was nice and private.

We were a family group of 8. We were all impressed, with accommodation, location and local area. Anita was helpful arranging pick ups, trips, taxis and restaurant bookings.

Beautiful private house with pool. House was spotless clean when we arrived and three bedrooms with own bathrooms was really appreciated. Cavtat is a cozy little town not that far from Dubrovnik, with nice restaurants and more relaxed atmosphere. I would recommend renting a car to get to places and grocery stores, since the house is on the outskirts of the town and there is no walking path. But with a car/uber it’s not a problem. We enjoyed our privacy, no neighbors in sight and beautiful mountain views! Thank you Jelena!

The house was perfect for our stay. It was spacious and had the most spectacular view. I knew that there would be a lot of stairs, but that’s inevitable in Dubrovnik. The view was definitely worth the walk up. We had convenient access to all of the sights of Dubrovnik and had a great time. Sanja was available and responsive before and after our stay. She recommended a great outfit to rent a boat for the day and coordinated a ride to and from the airport. We will definitely stay there again if we return to Dubrovnik.

Jelena was a great host, if we needed anything she was very helpful! It was lovely how she made a a booklet of suggestions to do in the local area so it was nice and easy to find something to do each day

A lovely, well-equipped house with all mod cons, and things that made it a fun place to hang out with the family, such as a pool table, table football, an outdoor BBQ and fantastic pool. The view was stunning; we loved the location by the waterfront and near the Dubrovnik marina. It was wonderful to sit on the terrace and watch the sun go down. We took the canoe out (saw a kingfisher), and went out on the bikes, which were provided. It's a bus ride into Dubrovnik old town, which is an amazing place. We would have welcomed an information folder with local knowledge - for example, we weren't sure where to catch the bus, or find the local GP surgery, etc and came across by chance an amazing bakery with caffe bar on the last day, which we would have frequented quite a bit had we known about it. When we did ask the hosts for information, they came back promptly with a response, however.

Matija's place matches the photos and description, the villa is at the top but above all what makes your stay pleasant is Matija's very very warm welcome! Matija is super responsive and accompanies you even before arriving at her beautiful villa! THANKS again Matija

This was a great find & perfect for a family break with my sisters & husbands. Maro was a great host sorting transfers from & to the airport he answered any questions we had promptly & also sorted a private boat ride around the beautiful islands. Thank you Maro for letting us use your lovely home! xx
