Hidden Paradise Near Dubrovnik : Peace, Space, Privacy, Views, Close to Beach

We love this property! It is in a beautiful location and the pool was much used. Perhaps a couple of appliances to update such as the dishwasher and coffee machine but it wouldn’t stop us coming again. We love meals under the kiwi tree and hope to come back again. Thank you!

Great house, great location and a very nice host. Very close to the airport but without disturbance från the airplanes. Close to the magic Pasjsha Beach and close to Cavtat and Dubrovnik. Visit Montenegro for the day or go to Bosnia. Everything is very close.

Just back from a lovely week in the property. 10 mins from the airport was a dream and barely heard a plane. Was well informed of everything before arrival, during and just prior to our departure. Would highly recommend.

Delightful property and grounds in a rural setting The facilities were excellent catered for all ages the pool and terrace were excellent and enjoyed by all ages particularly the younger ones The figs and grapes were a bonus, shame the Kiwi fruit weren’t ripe but they gave great shade over the terrace.

Description of the house and area is accurate apart from the pool. It advertises a heated pool but we all thought it was much colder than 25c-26c which is normal for a heated pool, too cold for some of our party to use which was disappointing. The owner said the heater only “takes the edge off” but there was no evidence of this. The accommodation itself was good if a little tired and in need of tlc in a few places. We arrived to find some issues in the guest annexe with plumbing and lighting which were both rectified in a couple of days. Anna the local manager was lovely and very helpful. The house is old and perhaps not ideally suited to toddlers although the owner went out of her way to ensure the older children had toys to play with, this was very thoughtful and greatly enjoyed by our grandchildren. The kitchens are well equipped and we found the ground floor “summer kitchen” ideal for our needs and the outside stone built bbq had plenty of use. We found some local supermarkets with basic supplies but for a better selection including fresh fish we drove 30mins north to the Super Konzum at Srebreno. Cavtat was our favourite location for dining out, not cheap but a great selection of restaurants right by the sea.

The house had everything. We had 7 people sleeping- kids and adults. Everyone enjoyed the house. The kitchen has everything to cook, the pool is nice, the table outside is amazing. Everyone enjoyed.

We had a lovely spring stay at Lucivana. Such a wonderful place to relax by the pool or just find a quiet corner to take in the scenery or read a book. You will need a car to get around from this lovely traditional country house but much is within close distance. Very close to the airport (15min), Cavtat (15min) - can get a boat to Dubrovnik from here - and also the border with Montenegro (30min). Locally, you can walk to the beach (steepish decline as you near the beach but worth the effort), visit vineyards and enjoy adventure activities. If you're looking for a restful break, and a home away from home (and away from the crowds), then I can highly recommend this stay in the beautiful countryside in Croatia. Should you need any assistance during your stay, Lucy and the staff helping to manage the property are easily contactable and very attentive.

Relaxing, secluded, and spacious property. We visited Dubrovnik via boat taxi, Gruda, Sokol Grad, etc. A car is necessary and there are many places to find groceries. We loved the pool!

My family and I had the most perfect holiday here. The photo were accurate but really do not do the property justice. We were so delighted when we first glimpsed the house and stunning gardens filled with many types of fruit trees, herbs and flowers. The pool was a good size and depth so we could swim properly and we spent much time relaxing poolside or in the shade by the terrace. For a extended family group, it was ideal as there were many areas of the house and gardens to allow privacy, but equally plenty to all come together for lunch or dinner or even aperitifs on the terrace. We used the summer kitchen alot and found it extremely well equipped. It was handy to have a fridge, freezer and cooker here as well as in the main kitchen upstairs. The bedrooms were all very spacious and we liked the decor as it felt very much home from home. The lounge in the house had antique furniture and wooden floorboards which reflected the 200 year history of the house which has been in the family for 6 generations. My parents stayed in the ground floor annexe, which has its own bathroom, and lounge with mezzanine bedroom. This was ideal as my Dad has had a recent hip operation and finds too many stairs difficult. We walked to the nearest beach, which is about 10 minutes pleasant walk away before descending steeply down to the actual beach. My Dad could not make it down this slope or the steps which was a shame as the beach is stunning, however, he visited the local wine cellar whilst we were out and had a great time! The whole family had a fabulous time and wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone. We hired two cars between us and this really was necessary as there is no shop within walking distance. The nearest is about 5-10 minutes away. The owner, Lucy, was so lovely. She called a few times to check if we needed anything and to offer advice on restaurants and local shops etc She even organised the TV so my husband and my Dad could watch the football!. She was very understanding when a wine glass was broken(sorry!) and very genuinely wanted to ensure we had a happy and memorable holiday. We really appreciated her help, kindness and advice. We would love to return sometime in the future.

We had a wonderful holiday in this lovely house. We were 3 couples and 3 children, and the owner was wonderful in helping us sort out the sleeping arrangements for our children. The house itself is everything we were looking for - large, full of character, beautiful house and garden, great pool. The house was very clean and well maintained. The area is also very beautiful - we had a lot of lovely walks and spent a lot of time at the local beach a short walk away. The locals were very friendly! Easy to get to Cavtat and Dubrovnik, both of which we enjoyed immensely. I would definitely recommend this peaceful, romantic place.
