We loved the place. Very simple accommodation. However, the positionis idyllic. The balcony faces the water. A million dollar view. The surroundings create a peaceful relaxing and idyllic atmosphere. We could walk to an incredible restaurant where the mother cooks all these delicious dishes. If you want supplies, there is a tiny supermarket to accommodate your requirements. Its very convenient to catch a bus into the Old Town. Also our host was so accommodating. A very kind woman. It was a blessing staying there. Thank you.

This place is older and could use some upgrading to make it more pleasing. On the plus side it is on the water and has it's own waterside patio

The view is beautiful. The sea is just in front of you and the downtown of Dubrovnik is just on 15 minutes away.

I chose this property as it was away from the city & right at the bay very close to an almost private rocky beach very pleasant to swim in & spend time. It was easy to find, accessible to busses to city, grocery, restaurants & nearby towns. There’s a nice covered veranda on the side that has self serve kitchen where you can cook which we did for breakfast as it was a long walk to restaurant just for that. The rooms were very basic with old fashioned furniture. Sheets changed every 7 days but as we stayed 1 extra day they were never done. It wouldve been appreciated if the sheets were changed at least once between the 8 days. The room given to us had 2 single beds drawn together while it was ok the middle bit kept separating hence my hubby were like sleeping in separate beds. It needs addressing for improvement. The sofa bed my daughter slept in had very little support and mattress kept tipping to its side so we decided to fix it ourselves by putting the back cushions underneath to hold it up. Our TV never worked from the start. We mentioned this to the owners son who spoke English but nothing was done for the entire 8 days stay. The owners were nice but had didn’t speak English hence communication was with great difficulty. A lot of hand signal communication. All things apart we had a great time, lovely restaurants around and an easy bus trip to old town. The Villa is in a great location & while we were not fuzzy it would be nice for basic necessities to just work.

Beautiful location, in a port right next to the sea. A few restaurants and supermarket approx 15-20 min walk. Hosts were extremely accommodating and helpful. Location is a bus ride ( approx 20minutes) away from Dubrovnik. Actual accommodation was standard but location more than made up for it. Would recommend.

Maria

beautiful location, lovely family business

Villa was very clean, not plush but good standard and comfortable. Location was beautiful, what are described as beaches are not sandy so wet shoes are recommended however the bay is stunning and the water calm and safe for families, but the lack of sand can mean that its not so much fun for children. There are a few restaurants nearby, but not all would be accessible to families with pushchairs as there is a distinct lack of footpaths . The Villa has kitchen facilities and there is also a terrace with a barbeque which is available for guests to use. This is a family owned business and Mario and his family are great hosts, very accommodating and helpful. The bus stop is less than a 5 minute walk away with buses into Dubrovnik hourly, the buses are air conditioned and reliable. The old town can get very busy and was particularly hot as we were there in July, this is compounded when the cruise liners arrive and thousands descend on the City. I would certainly stay in Zaton Mali again and would definitely certainly stay at Villa Malfi again, Dubrovnik is beautifu and Villa malfi are great hosts.

The host family was so lovely, and it’s hard to give this place a poor rating as a result, but the facilities need some major attention. I’m not a hotel snob by any means, but this place was very run down. The “sofa bed” was broken, the bathroom smelled like something was very wrong with it. I can not recommend in good conscience.

Great value apartment

This is a lovely apartment, with fantastic views over the sea, which is a stones throw away. Small balcony allowed room to sit and eat while looking out at the view. The room, bathroom and small kitchen were extremely clean and functional, with fresh paintwork, though dated furnishings. If you are looking for somewhere functional and comfortable without being flashy, on a modest budget, then this is the place for you. Several nice restaurants within walking distance and swimming in the calm waters possible without getting in the car. There is some noise from the coastal road nearby but you don't notice this at night once doors are closed.

Nice seaview, great hospitality

When we arrived, we didn't have any Bosnian local money. The host had borrowed us 200 Bosnian marks, so that we could take the bus to the city centre for currency exchange.

Great hospitality. Great trust! Thank you, host!

Dubrovnik visit

Very friendly and attentive management. Clean tidy room with beautiful view across the bay. Really nice communal terrace to the side. Perfect location if you have a car or if you want to stay outside Dubrovnik. Bus connections close and regular. Great alternative to horrendous parking charges in Dub

Room was clean, but everything is very old. Bath towels not much larger than hand towels. Bed was comfortable, that is the only positive comment I can make. Weird smell. But we did not pay much for this.

Beautiful apartments overlooking the water

Everyone there was extremely friendly, the apartment was spacious with more than enough room, it was very clean, every room has a balcony overlooking the gorgeous water, you can swim right in front of the building, there's a bus stop right outside that takes you to Dubrovnik, close to 2 amazing restaurants (tavern arka was my favourite), and in a quiet and relaxing bay. 10/10.

Basic but nice hotel in quiet hamlet.

Basic but very good value. All rooms have view right over Zaton bay which is beautiful. Hot showers, free and strong signal wifi, satellite tv, balcony for sitting out on , in addition to covered communal outside area with small bar. We were greeted near midnight by the lady who had stayed up for our delayed flight, with a bowl of watermelon.
Fridge and kettle in room but no cups - we only overnighter there, sadly, I'm sure they would have provided these if we'd asked. Breakfast was next door at the welcoming Villa Kukuljica, Kn110/2 people, very good.
A couple of areas of the bay are lightly bounded for swimming, forming natural swimming pools - just perfect! Enough shade and enough sun for all . Gorgeous clear water. Very chilled area, the only thing is the noise of the main highway behind the hamlet. But would not put me off staying there again. Access to Dubrovnik (main bus station) is very easy, there's a bus stop at the entrance to the hamlet and buses go at least once/hour (kn15 one way).

Accommodation was everything we hoped for from the details provided via Expedia and my wife & myself had a wonderful, peaceful holiday there. There are some very small beaches within walking distance but would definitely recommend hiring a car as there are some absolutely beautiful pebble beaches within easy travelling distance. Found the food & local wine to be lovely and the cost was reasonable, similar prices to UK. This was our first time to Croatia and we will definitely be going back.
