Villa Gorica Dubrovnik — Hotel in Općina Župa dubrovačka

Villa Gorica (please note - it’s a privately owned villa, not a hotel!) is a truly outstanding place to spend your holiday near historic Dubrovnik. Built in the 16th century, on an extensive walled plot, it’s been tastefully modernised, without losing its original character. All five bedrooms have their own well appointed bathrooms, and the communal areas are spacious and comfortably furnished. The front courtyard has mature shrubs and trees, and two barbeques with a large dining table under cover for outdoor meals. We made great use of the swimming pool, with its sunbathing deck and cabana. The immaculately maintained gardens, pétanque court and badminton court with basketball hoop are further bonuses.||||Every member of our party for our 7 night stay was impressed with the villa - but what really made it special was the outstanding customer service provided by Nikolina, the villa owner, who lives in a separate house in the grounds. She was very friendly and welcoming, answered our various queries quickly and efficiently, and was of great assistance in helping to book several activities. She kindly drove us to local landmarks so that we could get our bearings at the start of our holiday, which was particularly helpful. Nikolina was rightfully very proud of the villa, and it was clear from the outset that she wanted her guests to enjoy the very best holiday experience. That she was able to do so - apparently effortlessly, and without ever being intrusive - is a real tribute to her skills in her role. ||||In summary, Villa Gorica offers a classy, private holiday base, within easy reach of Dubrovnik, the nearby beach area and local supermarkets. We would have no hesitation in recommending the villa, and certainly hope to return in future - it really is...

We have just returned from a wonderful holiday in Villa Gorica. The 'we' consisted of our family - 6 of us from the UK and 4 from Australia, with an age range from 3 to 69. We had high expectations after reading all the 5* reviews and we were not disappointed. The villa creates an air of luxury, space, comfort, history and more, while feeling welcoming and homely. Everyone could have their own space and then gather together by the pool, around the table by the barbeque, on the boule area, etc. As everyone has already mentioned, the owner, Nikolina is definitely 5* and helped to make our stay so special. From her answers to our questions before we arrived, her friendly greeting complimented by the drinks and huge bowl of fruit on our arrival, clean towels mid - week and her help with arrangements to enhance our visit. ||A week was not long enough to do all we wanted to do, but we would certainly recommend the boat trip and the meal cooked at the villa by Nikolas, the chef - all arranged by Nikolina. The food was sublime. Our thanks also go to Nikolina's friend, the lady taxi driver who was so helpful and friendly. We had hired 2 cars, but really could have managed with taxis and buses, as parking is virtually impossible. ||Be prepared for the ruined buildings behind the nearest beach (a reminder of Croatia troubled past), but the adjacent beaches and cafes and restaurants are lovely. We found the Croatian people very welcoming and friendly and the scenery is stunning.|| I hope we can return soon. Thank you, Nikolina for helping us to have such a...

We were a family of 10 from three generations that enjoyed 10 wonderful days in Villa Gorica. The villa itself is ideal in having 5 bedrooms and bathrooms and good living areas to manage a large party like ours. However we spent most of this time outside enjoying the pool, courtyard area and Petanque court. The children in particular lived in the pool whenever we were at home. It is also safe in that you can lock the courtyard gate to the pool when there is no adult supervision. Fun to see the children queuing up in the morning for the gate opening ceremony. Whilst we spent a lot of time in the villa we did manage several trips out. By far the best and most enjoyable was the one day boat charter that Nikola arranged for us to see the three islands of Dubrovnik. Even our 9 month old child enjoyed the trip! Nikola and family live next door to the Villa and from our arrival Nikola was extremely kind and helpful. From giving us an initial sighting tour of the area through to booking trips, restaurants and taxis Nikola was superb in helping us enjoy our stay whilst giving us space and privacy. Thanks for everything. We rarely return to the same place but Villa Gorica may be the exception. I cannot see how anyone would not enjoy...
