Very warm welcome from Anna, who waited up late for us since our flight was delayed. Morning chat with Nicolas who explained what we could do, local buses boats etc. Good air-conditioning, amazing view. Perfectly maintained pool that was never over crowded.

Communication from "direct booker" (the company Anna and Nicolas use to manage the bookings) could have been better. Sometimes days passed without any response to important emails in the days leading up to our stay. Th steep climb up from the beach was hard work in the extreme heat of July 2023, but this is not a criticism, only to let others know that there a a good 15 minute walk back from the lovely seashore and beach café.

very nice big swimming pool and facilities in the appartment. Owner was friendly and reasonable, he also spoke very good English.

The property was very modern and clean. The views from the balcony were amazing. It was very quiet with two good restaurants nearby. The pool was great too

Very clean and accessible, everything we needed was there, after being on a boat for a week the space was amazing. we loved the pool, it was the perfect place for us to be after a very busy 10 days and we could just relax. the host Ana made us a reservation at a lovely steak house which was just a few minutes walk from the Villa. the host couldn’t have been more charming and their son ran us into town to get supplies and even showed us around the supermarket. we actually considered staying a couple of extra days but sadly they were full. we would 100% go back to Villa Samba!

There was nothing to not like.

A very tidy apartment with an excellent sea view. Good location, several beaches nearby the villa.

The owners were super helpful and friendly; even driving me to a supermarket for groceries. The accommodation was clean, quiet and spacious and a real oasis away from the bustle of Dubrovnik.

I wish I could have stayed longer!

The property was clean. Beautiful sea view. Okay location.

The owners were extremely rude. On arrival the first thing they did was complain at us for not using them for our airport transfers. He seemed annoyed that we arrived early, before check in. We had already made this clear (could not help the time of our flight), and that we would return later. Instead, we were made to sit for over an hour, after very little sleep, to all the information. While this was a useful gesture there was too much to take in and the whole time the owner made derogatory comments about previous guests. For example, he said that he explains the information as if we are children, yet people are stupid and still come back asking questions! I was made to feel quite uneasy and like I was putting him out by being there. Too many rules!! The owners are very picky about their property. They live on site and watch on their cameras all day. While the pool is lovely and clean they don’t really want you to use it, especially children. If your child gets the floor wet around the pool the owner may come running and shouting, in a loud, aggressive voice at your child for being disrespectful. The apartment is clean and fairly modern however the beds are not very comfortable. The location is central to Cavtat (10 mins by car) and Dubrovnik (20/30 mins by car) but there is very little in Plat where the villa is located. The beach is a ten minute walk down hill. It is a fairly steep walk back up. Small children may struggle. He also said people are lazy if they say it is too far to walk. However we witnessed him and he wife use a scooter to go down and back from the beach! The beach is lovely with a small beach bar, however Plat has not recovered well from the war. Bombed out hotels over look the beach which is a shame. There is only a small, expensive shop in walking distance and only a few restaurants so be prepared to drive, Uber, bus of boat it to shops and restaurants etc.
