This house is truly wonderful, full of history, immaculate and has every thing you could possibly need. The views are stunning and we loved having the clear blue sea right on our door step! Katrina was an amazing host, hopefully we will be back!

A Lovely Family Get Together

The terrace was idyllic and we enjoyed all our meals outside there drinking in the spectacular view. The whole property was a delight, and our party loved the company of the tortoises. Katarina our host was wonderful, we couldn't have asked for anything more.

Beautiful

We had such a brilliant time in Mlini. The villa sits in the most beautiful setting. We were a family of 4 with 4 guests. The villa has lots of space, lovely gardens and everything is on your doorstep. Katarina was incredibly helpful and we were all so grateful to be able to stay in this special villa. We will be back!

Utopia on the Adriatic

The location is unparalleled. You are in the heart of Mlini, steps to the beach, great restaurants, the ultimate beach bar and the local sea water Waterpolo club. You can catch the boat to Dubrovnik just a block away. And the house is a paradiso for relaxation… the grounds are immaculate with beautiful grass lawns, flowers, herb plants, a flagstone dinning terrace overlooking the sea and a beautiful pool. There is even an outdoor kitchen (we grilled many meals and enemies used the outdoor kitchen’s stove to fry local sardines and peppers! The house is beautiful and furnished with taste. The 4 bedrooms that each include their own bath were very comfortable. Katarina is a fantastic host. She treated us with cheer, provided fresh pastries and helped us get the best local fish and produce. She was very responsive and friendly. Our whole family loved her. We give this home our highest recommendation and we will be back!

Villa Residence Mar

We were celebrating my husband’s 70th Birthday, 6 adults, 6 year old and 1 year old. What a time we had. Katarina is a 5 star host. Any queries were promptly answered and transport to and from the airport with booster seat and rear facing baby seat organised by Katarina. The villa is just beautiful and the view from the terrace is mesmerising and stunning. We all loved the pool and BBQ area and all 4 bedrooms were en suite. Gardens beautifully kept. Mlini is a quiet resort but with several restaurants within walking distance. The little ferry to Dubrovnik and Cavtat is a 5 minute walk from the villa. Would highly recommend and will definitely be back.

Stunning property in a great location

The property is everything it promises on the website. Ideally placed for fabulous views across the bay. Easy access to Dubrovnik or Cavtat by ferry. The Cusar bar opposite is lovely and gently lively so there’s a nice buzz of music and chatter in the evenings. The owner is really helpful and great to deal with. The four bedrooms are all lovely with plenty of storage and all en-suite. Would definitely recommend.

Character property in perfect location

We really enjoyed our stay, the villa is in a great location, between 2 bays with several restaurants and bars nearby. The gardens are attractive and come with a herd of tortoises. Pool deck was fabulous, with views of the coast. The property is well maintained and the owner Katarina, very pleasant to deal with and helpful. There are four double bedrooms all ensuite and of similar generous sizes. The nearby beaches are excellent for swimming, and a ferry runs at regular times throughout the day from the nearby local harbour (2 minutes walk ) to Dubrovnik, which is convenient. Don't be put off by what looks like a round about in front of the property, the road leading to it is very quiet, as there is a restricted access (barrier) beyond the turning circle to Mlini harbour and there is very little traffic. One point to be aware of, there is a local bar opposite the property, which closes at 12, we only really noticed the noise on one night, and apart from that not really an issue.

Perfect in every way

Amazing week at the end of the season with our four kids. Mlini is a lovely location between Dubrovnik and Cavtat. Katerina is the perfect host and the villa magnificent. We really miss the evening dinners on the veranda and the beautiful sunsets. The kids loved the Tortoises and the lovely pool. Just perfect 👌🏻

Great villa with beautiful terrace views

The villa is right opposite the dive centre in Mlini. The views from the front terrace are wonderful particularly when the sun sets, often an amazing deep red glow. The pool is in a lovely garden at the back so you have shade or sun in different parts of the villa at all times of the day. The 4 bedrooms are clean and adequate if not luxurious. Aircon in some of them is a bit noisy, particularly when on full blast. We hardly used the lounge area as we spent all our time in the outside rooms and terraces. the dive centre bar occasionally had music playing until about midnight but was not too intrusive in the bedrooms. Overall a delightful character villa in a nice location with wonderful sea views.

Perfect!!

The villa was PERFECT for our group of 6 - 4 adults and two teenagers. The location is terrific - right by the sea, and walk to restaurants, shopping either direction. Also just a short trip to Old Town Dubrovnik. Katarina is a great host, made sure we had everything we needed and checked in with us throughout the week. It was nice to relax on the terrace - or by the pool every day! Best part of the whole villa was the tortoises!! Feeding them was the highlight of our day.

Fantastic! Great host, great location, great house

It is hard to know where to start: the town of Mlini is charming, with very nice people and good restaurants. The property is located just across a small beach, walking distance (as most beach front Mlini) to restaurants and other beaches. It has all the comfort and amenities of a modern house, but with character and charm. All four bedrooms have sea view (no fighting among my kids to select the "best bedroom"); the view from the terrace is spectacular (very relaxing when I worked in the early hours of the morning, taking advantage of the time difference with the US); the garden is beautifully well kept; the swimming pool and BBQ grill are strategically located to provide both a nice view of the sea, and safety if you have small kids (you have to get up some stairs, giving you enough time to catch a runaway grandson!). Even though it was in mid-Jul, we didn't run the a/c all the time, as the walls provided isolation from the heat, allowing us to open the doors/windows and enjoy the nice Adriatic breeze. The property is kept impeccable: they do the swimming pool and the garden twice a week, and is delivered to you with all the essentials (including beach towels) for you to enjoy your stay. Lastly, but certainly not least, Katarina was a very grateful host: she help us getting the transportation from the airport, had a delicious apple strudel welcoming us, and was always available to assist us when needed (she cam quickly when one of my sons locked his safe box, contacted a catering for a gathering we had for the final of the FIFA World Cup). I would love to return to this property in the near future!

beautiful property in a wonderful location

As soon as we arrived we were absolutely delighted with the villa. Katarina was very welcoming. The villa itself is beautiful, comfortable and there is a view from every room. What we loved the most was the terrace right outside the kitchen. We spent a good deal of time there eating all of our meals there and enjoying the shade in the heat of the day. The gardens are stunning and the pool area is just fabulous too. It was definitely the best holiday accommodation I have experienced for a large family group. I highly recommend it

Perfect Villa, fabulously situated.

We loved Villa Mar so much that we almost don't want to tell you how lovely it was ... and keep it all to ourselves. Katarina and her Mother did a wonderful job of preparing this beautifully maintained and well-equipped villa for our stay. There were fresh flowers, wine, milk and home-made apple strudel upon our arrival and they ensured that we had everything we needed to make our stay happy and relaxing. The layout of the Villa is great for groups of different couples who may want a little space to themselves and it is great to separate the bedroom space from the downstairs living area with the external stairs so that those who wake early or are late to bed don't disturb others. We miss the stunning views across the bay from the terrace and the pool area and can't wait to go back again to enjoy them. The tortoises are fun too and you'll quickly fall in love with them. The situation of the villa itself is just perfect, being a 15 minute car or water taxi ride into Dubrovnik Old City to enjoy sight seeing or nightlife but there are also plenty of great restaurants locally in which to eat and a very welcoming bar for relaxing drinks nearby. Katarina is a great host and ensured we had everything in place before our arrival, including arranging car transfers from the airport to the villa. Thank you so much for a wonderful stay .... we will be back again and again and again!

Beautiful oasis in a perfect location!

We stayed 12 days at this beautiful house with probably the most amazing garden in the greater Dubrovnik area. We enjoyed every second of our stay and would definetely come back again. The house was very clean and perfectly equiped (towels, hairdryer, wachingmachine and a perfectly well equiped kitchen). The whole house and garden is prepared very lovely (fresh flowers, fresh fruit etc.) On our arrival we have been received extremely well, and felt home quite fast. We were shown around in the whole house and garden. The view is stunning and we totally fell in love with the 9 turtles who live in one part of the garden. Thanks for making our vacation so beautiful. Mona, Jozo and Athos

Charming stay at Residence Mar in April 2018

We stayed at Residence Mar for a week in April 2018. The view from the terrace to the sea was magnificent, and the back yard was nicely secluded behind the stone walls. The children loved the tortoises living in the yard. There were four bedrooms all equipped with a bathroom on the second floor - it was perfect for us since we had several couples with children staying. The villa is right next to the Mlini harbor, from where you can take a short boat-ride to Dubrovnik, Cavtat, Lokrum, etc. We received amazing hospitality from Katarina, who took care of everything at the villa.

An Adriatic gem

From the moment we arrived at Residence Mar we were made to feel so welcome, it was like home from home. Marina and Katarina were on hand to help us settle into this most comfortable and well-appointed accommodation, and they provided us with an array of provisions - including a delicious home-baked streusel along with beautiful flowers, ensuring our stay got off to the best of starts. Residence Mar was everything we hoped it would be and more - its position is very convenient for travel to Dubrovnik and Cavtat, as well as further afield when we could bear to tear ourselves away from the gorgeous pool and outdoor comforts - though we would have appreciated some provision of shelter around the pool area - it was very hot during our stay! The gardens are lovely and the tortoises an endless source of entertainment - they were very well-fed whilst we were there! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house and would highly recommend it to fellow travellers visiting this gorgeous part of the world. Many thanks to Marina and Katarina for your warmth and kindness.

A little bit of Paradise by the Adriatic

It was everything we hoped for and more. To eat on the terrace under a canopy of vines and gaze at the view over the bay was magical. Walk up the steps through the gardens to the pool, where there's an excellent brick built barbie and electric hob. Air con keeps you cool at night. Excercise by the pool early morning to the sound of the waves. There's a money machine opposite, and plenty of restaurants in either direction with a good selection of food. But, if you like fish you're in heaven! A 100 metres away is a water taxi to take you to Dubrovnik or Cavtat, there's a shop not far away and a shopping centre twenty minutes walk away. In a nutshell we loved it!

Beautiful position

We booked the Villa for a family celebration and none of us were disappointed. Beautiful setting with great views and easy access to beaches, bars and restaurants. Near the ferry to Dubrovnik and Kavtat so easy to explore. We were looked after by the Villa owners so well including helping us organise a birthday meal at the Villa....and sourcing a fabulous chocolate birthday cake! Thanks to Marina and Katarina for letting us stay in your beautiful home...

The villa is very beautiful and ideally situated. We had a fantastic, relaxing holiday and were made to feel at home from the moment we arrived and were met by Katarina. The villa has everything you could wish for, is well stocked and comes with many extras that we all appreciated such as the home baked strudel and fresh flowers. We will definitely be back.
