We had a lovely time in villa silvia! Ston is lovely and ivonna was very responsive to all issues. The whole property was well airconned and the pool space is lovely - we would definitely recommend having cars but local taxi services can resolve any issues. We had a great week and have no complaints about the villa!

Beautiful property and wonderful location!
We were two family’s with 4 kids total. The property was very spacious and had plenty of room. The pool was great and all the outdoor areas were so enjoyable. The kids loved the extensive DVD collection too :)
The town of Ston was right down the road so we had fresh bread from the market everyday and enjoyed several meals there.
We would definitely stay again.
Very central to many attractions. As we took day trips to Dubrovnik, Mustar, Corcula and Mljet.

Dear Maria,
Thank you for your kind review, it's much appreciated. I'm delighted you all had a good time and hope to welcome you to Croatia again sometime. Ivona asked me to thank you for leaving the house so tidy when you left.

If you want to be close to Ston with its shops and restaurants but have privacy, peace and views then you’ll love this villa. The pool is perfect for a dip and there are plenty of sunbeds and shaded areas to relax. The kitchen is well equipped and there is an outside BBQ area too. It’s an easy drive from Dubrovnik along the beautiful coastal road and the town of Ston is around 5-10 mins drive away from the villa over the salt pans. Ivona, the housekeeper, was so helpful and was available during the whole of our holiday to answer questions and give advice. She organised an amazing boat trip around the islands of Mljet and Korcula which departed from Ston - a fabulous day out. Despite being ill for a couple of days due to a dodgy oyster we had a wonderful holiday and will definitely be back!

Dear Emma,
Thank you for your kind review, I’m so glad you had a lovely time though sorry for the dodgy oyster. You are welcome back any time and I will pass on your comments to Ivona.

This is a delightful villa up in the hills above Broce. It is very comfortable, clean and well maintained. There is a long narrow path from the parking area to the building which might deter the physically frail, but apart from that - and it was not really a problem for us - it met our requirements for a large family holiday perfectly. Our age range was from 5 months to 73 years and the building soaked us all up without strain, with plenty of room for everyone. Ivona the (non live-in) housekeeper could not have been more attentive or helpful, when for example a lighting strike disabled the wireless modem. Good restaurants and beaches nearby completed the picture for us. Highly recommended.
Ritorno nei posti delle vacanze estive della Nostra infanzia. Posto e rimasto identico come nella ultima volta che ci siamo venuti nel lontano 87 a parte la vista del nuovo ponte. Incantevole

Dear Eldin,
I'm glad you weren't disappointed when you returned after so long. Too often when you come back things have changed for the worse and are nothing like how you remembered it. Thank you for the review.
Regards,
Hugo

Our small group of Norwegian “wine lowers” has over the years visited many of the European wine districts. Always renting a house with self catering possibilities for a week or more.
This house has been the best so far.
The charming village close by, Ston within walking distance, a beautiful beach at Prapratno and not to forget some very good vineries nearby.
Thanks

Dear Erik,
Thank you, I'm glad you enjoyed yourself if you have the time I would love to have your opinion on some of the local wines and your recommendations..........I still get confused at times and often forget which wines I really enjoyed; a combination of old age and of course the alcohol!
Regards,
Hugo.

Why they chose this property
Love at first sight, close to the sea approached through a Cypress grove and surrounded by pine clad hills. Tranquil, secluded yet only 5 minutes from Ston by car and a short stroll to the sea
