Myself and family have just returned from a 5 day stay at Villa Paulina after another stay at Cavtat.
The family that manage this villa are THE most welcoming hosts I have ever met. They are genuine and clearly take pride in what they do, as was evident in the standard of cleanliness and attention to detail within the villa. We had planned for them to cook us a traditional meal on arrival and it was easily the best meal wed enjoyed in Croatia. Everything was fresh from their farm. Even the wine!
Ive added a picture of the remoteness of Villa Paulina, however not once did we feel like it was remote. The hosts were at the property every morning to clean the pool and always asked if we needed fresh food from the market or to hire their motorbike. As we didnt have a hire car, I took a walk to the nearest market which was roughly a 30min walk and was pleasant in the evening. Its worth noting that Uber and other taxis pick up and drop off from outside of the villa.
If youre looking for a relaxing trip or a good base to visit Dubrovnik without being amongst the crowds of tourists then Id highly recommend this villa. The surrounding countryside, the rustic homely feeling of Villa Paulina, and some of the nicest hosts weve ever come across made this stay the best part of our trip.
