Villa Lanterna, Dubrovnik

Comfortable villa is quite well-situated...Zaton Bay, Stikovica..great view of the very popular (pebbly) beach for owners, visitors to that area. Shuttle driver Marko made a nice impression...very polite, professional, prompt young man from Zagreb. Loved listening to the playlist, especially including Gibonni songs, in the common area for relaxation next to the restaurant (conveniently at the villa, but owned separately). Enjoyed the company of several guests from Newcastle, England and guests from Sweden who were at the villa for the first time. If the villa's shuttle schedule does not work, then you can take Bus 12 to main port, harbor and then hop on the 1 or 1A bus to the Old City. I had to wait for my coffee...until 8 AM, but that, and lack of cable TV signal in my room, was the only inconvenience I had to 'endure' in a paradise. Recommend it and would return. I can also recommend guest taking the ferry from Old City to Lokrum Island (pack towel, wear bathing suit as you'll want to spend time in the water and on the rocks). And I visited Mostar...wow, worth it.

Extremely friendly and helpful personal. The room was clean, and well maintained.Location is perfect with a nice view over the bay! Easy access to the beech. Shady parking for the car, and convenient bus service to and from Dubrovnik.Everything was fine, except one thing: no markings on the road for the entrance, and exit- if you do not have GPS is very difficult to find.

We stayed in a one bedroom apartment. Spacious, spotlessly clean and very comfortable. The view from our balcony was fantastic. Staff were friendly and efficient, especially Nicolai who provided so much helpful information. The shuttle bus into Dubrovnik meant we could visit outside the busy times, and we enjoyed a couple of evenings in the city, travelling back to the hotel on the midnight shuttle bus. Perfect. We also appreciated being picked up from the airport for a modest charge. The apartment sleeps four, however, the fold out chair-beds are quite short and only really suitable for chiildren. The little restaurant attached to the Villa offers tasty food at reasonable prices. Meerko and Mya are a lovely couple - my only negative observation is that service can be very slow indeed and it was disappointing to find the bar closed in the middle of the day on a couple of occasions. Villa Lanterna offers a superb base from which to visit Dubrovnik and the surrounding area, at a competitive price. If you want a quiet holiday, this is the place to come. I would certainly visit again.

After a 9 hour travel we were given a room with three beds and one of my children was not covered. Manager was sleeping and did not look after the customers. The check out day they demanded us to evacuate at 10 am and cut the hot water to force. If you are thinking about this hotel forget about it.
