Perfect place for family vacation

We had a wonderful time here in July 2025 for a special famly occasion. We were a party of 8. The house is spacious, but the gift is the poolhouse equipped with kitchen facilities, outdoor tables and chairs, brick bbq space. You will use the house for sleeping, storing clothes and as an overflow for fridge space. You will delight in the beauty and provision of the pool area, pool-house, and surrounding garden space. Simply wonderful. As others have mentioned, this home is part of an integrated build with the hosts living next door. This was only ever a benefit for us. The hosts gave us all the privacy and space we needed, and were on hand with any very minor issues as they arose. They also were very generous towards us in our stay with a wonderful platter of breads, and cheeses, and meats. Finally they went above and beyond to help us with an item left behind at the car hire place. Wonderful hosts, highly, highly recommend. You will need a car. This was our first time in the area. You are about 11km south of the airport and about 17km south of Cavtat. You are also only around 6-7km away from a delightful local area of Molunat (again, a recommendation by the hosts!). But essentially this part of Croatia is a single road taking you to Molunat, Cavtat, Dubrovnik and all the other stops in between. With lots of places to stop off and spend the day in the glorious clean waters of the Adriatic sea. We loved it!

Wonderful house and garden, located in a quiet neighborhood. There are several beaches to choose from at a driving distance of 10-20 minutes.The villa has a second kitchen in the house by the pool and a cozy terrace for late dinners under the figue trees.The hosts are really helpful with recommendations in the area, and surprised us with delicious home made food.To sum it up it’s a fantastic villa with excellent hosts that certainly did the little extra. We’re very happy with our stay at Villa Lucija and can highly recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a beautiful house in this fantastic part of Croatia.

This property is spacious and clean. The house is set below the pool. The pool is lovely with a building next to it where there is a great kitchen and another toilet/shower room. There is a lovely area where you can sit in the shade and eat by the pool. The owners were absolutely lovely, they live next to rental property, there would be someone to ask questions to daily if you needed to. On one day they prepared plates of cold food for us (thank you it was delicious). A car is needed. We went into Cavtat and Dubrovnik- both were beautiful and a must to visit.

This is our second time of staying here. The villa is spacious, clean, quiet, and eleven minutes from the airport! The owners are very helpful and friendly. .

This is a great location for an active holiday. Dubrovnik 30 minutes away. Where you can take boat rides to islands, snorkle, jet ski, visit castle walls. Dubrovnik is really busy. Gruda looks small but there are some lovely restaurants 5 to 10 minutes away. Property is beautifully kept with lovely gardens. It is just off a main road which you can hear softly in the background but won't disturb your sleep. The pool is small but fine to have a short swim. Wonderful small beach nearby, but bring water shoes.

Accommodation is lovely, lots of space with good aircon. We spent lots of time around the Pool, great views and pretty gardens. Mariana and family were very welcoming and were very helpful with any requests we had. There are lots of great restaurants locally, especially if you like fish. Many quiet bays for swimming only 10 mins drive away. Molunet, only 15mins away was great for swimming with a nice small beach. Dubrovnik 40 mins drive, very accessible. Would recommend.

Villa was perfect for our family holiday! It was spacious and very clean. Everything was well maintained. We loved the swimming pool and the extensive grounds with bbq and outside dining area. Views from the villa were beautiful too. Definitely recommend a car to get around. Cavtat was ~ 15 mins away and Dubrovnik was ~ 40 mins away.

We had such a wonderful holiday at the villa! The hosts are so friendly and helpful, the villa was very clean we had lots of room for a family of seven. There is a kitchen at the top by the pool where we did all of our cooking, we really used the house for sleeping and showering! So close to the airport and a short drive to beautful Cavtat. Thoroughly recommended!!

This is a really lovely property with beautifully maintained gardens and a fantastic pool area. The location of the Villa is really excellent in Gruda, it is off the main road that runs from one end of Croatia to the other, 10 minutes from the airport and close to Cavtat and Dubrovnik. The owners are welcoming and friendly, they run a local restaurant and catering business, we went to dine in the restaurant and the food was great. Inside the property are plenty of towels and nice bedding. Two bathrooms which is excellent when you all want a shower after the pool. There is also a great shower outside next to the pool. We had a baby with us and the family provided a great cot and a high chair. The air conditioning works really well and is easy to adjust so you don't feel like you are wasting it. There are lots of places to sit/eat/relax and explore and the views are amazing. We would really recommend this Villa.

We had a fabulous time, Stijepo and his family made us feel very welcome. Facilities were excellent and our granddaughter absolutely loved the swimming pool! It was lovely to walk from the villa through a gorgeous garden to the pool. The taverna was very well equipped which meant we could have our lunch near the pool, rather than walk down to the villa. The villa itself was very quiet even though we were quite close to the road. The location was close to amenities and cheap too! Thank you Stijepo.
