• Mark from United Kingdom – 12 October 2024 (10/10)

  The villa was large, bright, finished to a high standard and clean. Plenty of room for the 8 of us to enjoy the space.

• Aidan from United Kingdom – 8 September 2024 (10/10)

  Amazingly kept property with a great pool and other facilities.

• Craig from United Kingdom – 9 August 2024 (10/10)

  Superb villa accommodation with excellent facilities to cater all requirements. Very spacious rooms with lovely private swimming pool. Within walking distance to the waterfront and a number of local restaurants. Host (Ognjen) was available as required to support our family with any additional needs. Even took us to the supermarket so we could get a large food shop for the week. Also helped organise airport transfers, including luggage storage due to the return flight being later that night. Would definitely recommend this accommodation for any family breaks/visits to Dubrovnik.
  
  What could be improved: Everything was perfect to allow for a super family holiday to Dubrovnik. Croatia is a lovely country.

• Weronika from Poland – 9 July 2024 (10/10)

  We were in the villa in a group of 11 and it was great stay. There were two bedrooms and two bathrooms (one in the bedroom, the second one common) downstairs, and three bedrooms and two bathrooms (also one in the bedroom and second one common). One person slept on the sofa in the living room, so I'd rather recommend the villa for group of 10 for maximum comfort, but sleeping on the sofa was still OK. There was an extra toilet outside next to the pool. There was also bar with fridge in the pool area. Pool was big and the water was warm, there was even pool shower. There were enough parking spaces for 3 cars. There were also ice cubes maker, huge speaker and coffee maker available. We loved sitting by the table under the tree. There was no problem with late check in, host waited to greet us. I recommend staying in the villa.
  
  What could be improved: The air conditioning was only in common areas so the rooms were pretty warm.

• Beverley from United Kingdom – 7 July 2024 (10/10)

  The villa was fantastic and our host so welcoming and helpful. We had fruit, water and wine left as a welcome and were gifted local olive oil when we left. Ognjen was very helpful with directions and knowledge of the area. The villa is a 5 mins walk down to a beautiful harbour with plenty restaurants and bars. It was very handy for Dubrovnik and surrounding villages and towns.

• Johanna from Finland – 27 June 2024 (10/10)

  We had a great holiday in Villa Olivila. We were 3 families and everything was awesome. Very clean and big house, new rooms and bathrooms, good facilities overall. Both adults and kids enjoyed the pool, which was suitable also for smaller kids. Zaton was a small beautifull village, authentic atmosphere away from the resorts and big hotels. The owner of the place was really helpful and we could even do early check in and late check out. He aldo drove us the supermarket in our first day. Thank you for your hospitality!

• Mustaniemi from Finland – 20 May 2024 (10/10)

  Villa was beautiful and it had so much to do like table football, darts, badminton and when I asked if they had volleyball the owner bought one for us. Pool was amazing and it had many sunbeds. Owner had bought us water, orange juice and two wine bottles which was so friendly. The owner was a sweetheart and super helpful. I asked for bus information and they told me about them and that shops are usually closed at sundays and then told me which stores are open that day. Owner told that we did not have to do any cleaning and that they will take care of everything. Villa had much cooking things and the grill was also nice. Owner also gave us coffee tablets for the coffee machine. Villa also had icecube maker which was very nice in the hot weather. Could not wish for better villa or better host. Thank you very much :). Warm regards Mona.
