Boutique Villa Filaus

My stay at the Villa was exceptional. Anita is the name of the lady that runs the Villa, and she is absolutely lovely. There is also one housekeeper that looks after the rooms in the Villa, who is also very sweet. I stayed in one of the small apartment/studios in the Villa (I was on the very top floor) and it was so clean and comfortable inside. Overall, my stay felt like a wonderful home away from home, which was especially important as I was traveling solo. The Villa is in a perfect location with restaurants all around, close to a beach and beautiful for walking along the ocean-front. The Villa is also super close to the bus stop which takes you direct to the Old Town. If you like walking, then walking to the Old Town is also easy to do - I did it, and it only took 30 mins (it was about 5 kilomoters walking). The best part about the Villa is that it is affiliated with the very beautiful "More Hotel" just down the road, which is an amazing benefit. I visted Hotel More for dinner one night, and it is absolutely gorgeous with an amazing beach, bar, and restaurant facilities.

Property is in a great location away from foot traffic around Old Town. You can get the bus to Old Town but we found these were crowded so opted for the convenience of Uber (€10 to Pile Gate). The promenade is a very short walk from the property, and this was a nice place to spend early mornings and evenings. There are some really nice restaurants nearby - Pantarul was exceptional and Mango’s was very pleasant, to name a couple of them. Anita was very helpful during the booking process and check in. We didn’t require much support during our stay, as the room was very clean and comfortable - I hadn’t slept that well in a long time! Some guests came in a little later and made some noise, but it was peak season, didn’t last long, and there was nothing really the property could have done to prevent it. The pool isn’t essential when there are so many spots to relax near to the sea, but it was nice to have. It was useful to chill there for an hour or two and read a book on a sun lounger. Bathroom was very clean and fitted with a modern shower. No complaints at all.

The location was nice, near to the bus station that goes to the city center. Also there are a lot of good options to eat near the location. I liked the rooms, they were big, clean and with a nice balcony. But most of all i liked the host, Anita, which was willing to share with us all the details about the city, what we can eat, how to go to the city center, what to visit etc..

This was a great experience from the moment we were greeted by Anita at reception. Rooms are very large and well equipped. You can catch the bus to the old town with a 4 minute walk to the stop. If you buy the Dubrovnik pass to walk the wall and see the museums, it includes your bus fee so great deal. It is a close walk to lots of restaurants and a very nice beach. Check out the cave Bar down at the beach.

The host Anita is exceptionally polite, friendly and helpful. She suggested great tips for spending time in Dubrovnik. Every day we were using Hotel More beach premises - they have an amazing beach location for the Villa's guests as well.
