Villa Overview

Villa in Dubrovnik – Villa Mlini is a super Croatia villa with pool near Dubrovnik Old Town and Mlini beaches and restaurants. “What a stunning,memorable week we have had at Villa Mlini… Could not have been better”… This Dubrovnik villa with views across the bay to the islands, is very popular with our guests, particularly families, and quite a few have been back several times over the years.

A perfect family villa, it’s one where you can really manage without a car, with the bus stop to Dubrovnik, Cavtat and a large supermarket just down the road, or the water taxi from the harbour, you can get about quite cheaply and easily.

The interior of the house certainly has the wow factor – with all mod cons, and is most comfortable after a day on the beach (or a night on the tiles!). With its “Entertainment Room” (Home Cinema & Office Facilities with Play Station and 3D TV), this is the perfect pad to retire back to.

The villa comprises 7 bedrooms; 5 double bedrooms and 2 twin bedrooms, giving a great deal of flexibility in sleeping arrangements. Two of the double bedrooms are found in a self-contained suite in the upper storey, complete with bathroom and open plan living/dining/kitchen. The suite is accessed by internal stairs from the main part of the villa, so is integral to it, but would be ideal if two families, or a family with young children or teens who wanted to share accommodation, but at times wanted the privacy of separate living space.

Two of the bedrooms are on the ground floor allowing the open plan living and dining room a fantastic view out across Mlini to the sea and islands beyond! This Dubrovnik villa with views boasts a stylish and private pool along with 2 large terraces covered with vines to shade you from the sun while dining or relaxing. Pool-side, and leading from the kitchen, there is also a wonderful al-fresco dining area and BBQ area, perfect for those long summer evenings…

LOCATION

Location Overview

It is a about a 5 minute walk into to the historic village and Mlini Bay from the villa (depending on where you are heading in the bay) with its charming little fishing boat harbour and beautiful beaches. Mlini is historically known in the area for its water mills (“Mlini” means “mills”) which were powered by the fresh water mountain springs – you can see the streams as you wander around the pretty pathways in the village – very pleasant indeed and plenty to discover. There are lovely little restaurants in Mlini Bay and cafes scattered around the bay and all serve fresh fish and delicious organic, local wine! This Dubrovnik villa with views over the Adriatic always books up early.

Reviews of Villa Mlini – Dubrovnik villa with views:

“Hi Helen

Yes, we loved Villa Mlini. It was clean and modern inside, with brilliant facilities
so the whole group was comfortable. We loved the movie rooms and the swimming
pool . The flat upstairs was also beautifully furnished.

The location was brilliant, near the bus stop for
Dubrovnik and access to the beach (although the steps definitely tested our
fitness). The view from the sitting room and balconies was stunning, we got
treated to some amazing lightening displays over the sea.

We’d definitely return and the villa owner was so
helpful.

Best wishes, PJ” August 2024

“Hello Helen- Carol and I just wanted pass on our very positive feedback on our holiday at Villa Mlini. The property is spectacular, as was the service. Zeljana was a welcoming host, and continually offered assistance and advice throughout our stay. Likewise, Mario was very helpful advising on and procuring wine for our group.
We would certainly return if our travels bring us back to the area, and would recommend you and specifically Villa Mlini to others.
Thank you! E & C W” Stayed May 2024

“Hi Helen
Nick and I agree with everything the W’s wrote [see above].
The house was magnificent, Zeljana is a lovely woman and so very welcoming. She was kind enough to offer to do food shopping for us for our first night in Croatia.
Your services were second to none, very quick and helpful responses to our endless questions. You also went out of your way to help us stock up on local wines which were delicious. Without Mario’s help we would not have known which grapes to choose as they were unfamiliar to us. Croatian wines are beautiful. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us.
Overall I have only high praise for the house, the hostess, your services and also Croatia. Beautiful property, and country and excellent services from Croatia Gem. The holiday exceeded our high expectations. Thank you. S M-M”. Stayed May 2024

“Hello, We had a fantastic time at villa Mlini. The villa was absolutely the best! So much room for all 12 of us ranging in age from 7 months to 70 years! The location was perfect. We got our exercise each day walking up and down the stairs to the beach!
Thank you for the restaurant recommendations. They were all terrific and we went to a couple more than once.
We met the house owner and spoke with her a few times. She was so friendly and helpful.
Thank you all for answering all my questions so promptly and helping me plan this vacation.
I hope we can do it again. I will definitely contact you when we are looking for a place next year. Croatia was lovely. Do you deal with other locations?
Best regards,
Sharon and family” August 2023

“Hi Helen,

The holiday/wedding went fantastically well, the villa was excellent and the owners were very helpful….

Tena looked after us exceptionally well in the resort organising our transfers and wedding transport. Big thank you to all of you from the booking process to getting home, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend you – excellent service.

Thanks

“We had a great time thank you. The villa was probably the best villa we have ever stayed in, very clean, spacious and well equipped. Nice touch was the owner had left a large pool towel on each lounger in addition to the white bathroom towels.

5-10 minute walk to the beach.

Ideal location. kids loved water inflatables and scuba diving booked at Mlini was our best dive ever.

We would certainly book a holiday with Croatian Gems again. we were very well looked after and the day of our arrival in the blistering heat this was greatly appreciated. 

Best wishes 

Carol” August 2017

Everything about the listing is 100% correct. The view is outstanding. There is so much room in the house. The outdoor dining was fun and the kitchen is well equipped to make gourmet dinners. 2 Large showers and a big bathtub in the bathrooms should keep everyone happy. The host is handy for questions and usually gets back to you within a few minutes if you have questions. Overall, the best rental we have ever had. With a million dollar view.

“Hi Helen,

Quite simply a fantastic holiday in every sense. The UK based team were very helpful throughout as was Ana in Croatia during our stay. The owner of the villa who lived next door also gave us great local info.

The villa was everything we wanted and more. It was the perfect family villa with views to die for .

I will gladly recommend you to friends who may wish to arrange a villa holiday in Croatia. 

I hope this is of help to you. Ray” July/August 2017

“Hi Denise, Having just returned from our holiday at the villa in Mlini I thought I would email you to let you know how much my family and myself enjoyed our holiday. The villa was great and the owners, Bozidan and Ana were really friendly and very helpful and made the holiday go very smoothly.

I would like to thank you for all your help and patience with answering my emails and giving so much helpful information. I would have no hesitation in recommending you to family and friends and hope to use your company in the future. Everybody loved Cavtat so we may look at booking a villa there in the future.

Once again thank you. Best wishes, Vic” June 2017

Morning Helen

Apologies it’s taken me so long to reply to your message.  We had a wonderful holiday, the villa exceeded our expectations and so did Mlini.  We all were hugely impressed with Dubrovnik, we particularly liked the restaurant Kopun which was one of Ana’s recommendations and our teenagers loved the nightclub Revelin.  My three children also enjoyed jet skiing and para gliding on Mlini beach which we found this quite reasonably priced.  Our two favourite local restaurants were the pizza restaurant on the beach and another 5mins walk along the coast road called Marinero.  Marinero was very popular so booking early was essential.

 I would really like to thank all of you for all your help, organisation and local information, your attention to detail meant we had a fantastic, stress free holiday.  Also a big thank you to Denise for helping me select Villa Mlini and being so helpful and friendly on the phone.  I will certainly be recommending you to friends and will be in touch when we return to Croatia.

Best wishes, Carey” July 2017

“Our second year here and another amazing holiday. Great villa, great place and Dubrovnik is amazing!

We hired a car and travelled to Kotor, Montenegro which is like a smaller Dubrovnik, the route there had the most beautiful views, well worth a visit. We also travelled to Trebinje, Bosnia which had a lovely park and was very cheap.

never did fathom out the timetable. A day trip around the islands was also a memorable experience and gave a different perspective of the area… NB If

“Our recent stay in Croatia was absolutely wonderful. A beautiful country which we will definitely return to. Our daughter was married at Grand Villa Argentina on Wednesday of that week. Villa Mlini was a perfect place to stay and have some wedding guests to join us for evening BBQ’s. The facilities in our villa were even better than we imagined  and the owner, owner’s family were absolutely charming and helpful. They even decorated the stairway for our daughter (the bride) as she left the villa to go to the wedding. Please let her know how much we appreciated all of the things she did for us. I will be showing photographs to friends and will be recommending Croatia to them. Thank you very much for a wonderful holiday. Robert”

In terms of the Villa we absolutely loved the size of it, there was plenty bathrooms/bedrooms & the whole Villa was very clean…The kitchen had everything we needed (loved the big fridge with ice!).  The Living room was great & the view of Mlini and the Adriatic were superb.  The games room was a great idea & we particular enjoyed playing on the Playstation 3! We didn’t use the 3D TV but would of if films were provided.  The Pool area was great and we enjoyed using the outdoor table & BBQ.  The additional services were good – the meal prepared by the chef was excellent & we particularly enjoyed the truffle sauce with the pasta.  The transfers to/from the airport were well organised…  We also got some food on arrival which provided us with the basics for when we first arrived. The owners were fantastic.  They were so helpful and friendly and everything was no effort to them.  One day Vera’s husband picked me up in his car, took me to the supermarket, waiting 1 hour in the car while I got some BBQ food, helped me pack the bags and then drove me back! He then came back later that day to help with the BBQ and brought his special tabasco sauce for us and 4 bars of chocolate for the children! I gave him a few beers in return but he wouldn’t accept any money…what a guy! We took a boat ride to Lopud 1 day as well which was very nice and the children enjoyed the sandy beach and swimming in the very clear and clean Adriatic Sea. I would definitely recommend you to friends/family so thanks for everything. Kevin
