Apartments Villa Mirjana

Our apartment at Villa Mirjana gave us possibly the best view we have had from a holiday rental. Our spacious veranda looked out over the bay with a stunning view across to Srebreno harbour. The room was spacious with a comfortable large bed, small kitchen area with a huge refrigerator. The bathroom was very good with an excellent shower. French doors led out to a large veranda with coffee table, chairs and two deck chairs. You need to be aware that there are a minimum of 30 steps to reach the apartments and the owner does have two friendly dogs and quite a few cats that roam the property. This was not a problem for us but could be for others.

I have just returned from a wonderful weekend in Croatia and my stay at Villa Mirjana helped made the experience wonderful. Now, first impressions wasn't what I was expecting. We got a cab from the Dubrovnik airport (don't make the same mistake as me and get a cab from inside the airport. We were charged 40 Euro and we found out an Uber is 15 Euro) and were greeted with a construction site next door, where they seem to be building a new hotel/villa. We were then met by the owners mum, who was an elderly lady who had trouble communicating (she was very sweet). We arrived at midday, 4 hours too early, so we were hoping to drop our bags and go out to enjoy the beautiful weather. Luckily the room was ready and they gave us the keys, very nice of them! There are a lot of steps from the entrance to all the rooms, so not ideal for anyone that struggles with stairs. The room, well, what can I say, it was lovely. Slightly old fashioned, but it had everything you need to make your stay comfortable and was very clean. We also had a lovely private terrace, where we enjoyed a few late evenings enjoying the view with a glass of wine. The pool, we enjoyed an hour in the pool and it is great. Its only a small pool, but the view looking over the Mlini coast is breath taking. The pool is located outside two rooms, so I'm not sure if this would cause an inconvenience for those rooms. Location, the villa is about 15-20 minutes outside of Dubrovnik. You can either use Uber, which costs between 10-15 Euro, depending on how busy it is, or you can grab a bus from the top of the hill for 5 Euro. The busses seem to run every 30-45 minutes and we managed to use them easily enough. Mlini itself is absolutely beautiful! There are several beach locations that can utilised. Some that are surrounded by restaurants and bars and some that relatively private. The beaches are not sand, but stones, so i would suggest bringing some footwear that can be worn to access the sea. There are a number of restaurants, id say 5-6, that are close to the villa. We used 3 of them for breakfast and dinner. The food is lovely and plentiful, but the prices are not cheap. A breakfast will cost between 15-25 Euros. A dinner will cost 80-100 Euro. Overall, a lovely villa, lovely location, lovely beaches, lovely restaurants, just lovely and we will be returning!
