We have just returned from our 9 day holiday with our three children (10, 8 and 5) and cannot recommend this apartment highly enough. Lucija and her husband were wonderful hosts, meeting us on arrival and showing us around the beautiful property, not to mention providing lunch, as well as dropping off treats throughout the week! The apartment is brand new and finished to a very high specification, and is fully equipped and beautifully furnished. What's more, the pool area (which is also brand new and really lovely) has its own "outdoor kitchen" and bbq area.
We were concerned that the close proximity to the airport would mean a lot of aeroplane noise. However, most days we heard barely any aeroplanes at all, and when they were taking off in our direction it really wasn't a big deal and certainly wouldn't stop me recommending this property.
We had hired a car which I think is essential; that way we could easily explore the area, including nearby Cavtat (which is a nice marina town with lots of restaurants, and from where we took the boat to Dubrovnik). It was also just a short drive to the border with Montenegro, where we went for lunch one day. We found lots of beaches and the all-important rock-jumping in to the sea! (big tip: make sure you take swimming shoes as the beaches are stoney).
The village of Cilipi has a nice square with a beautiful church, a café/bar and a pizzeria. On Sunday mornings there is the opportunity to watch traditional dancing in the square, accompanied by singing and music.
Thank you for a wonderful holiday - the most relaxing and fun yet, we will be back!
