About this villa rental
This beautiful stone house which dates back to the 18th century will give you an impression of how families have lived in Konavle for centuries - only now it has been fully renovated with all the comforts of a modern home. There is a big, fully equipped kitchen connected to the dining room area where you have a fantastic view of Sokol Grad - a medieval tower and museum - which really gives you a sense of the area’s rich history (Don’t miss visiting Sokol Grad during your stay!). In the center of the living room there is a fire place giving warmth and comfort to the entire space. The ground floor also includes a laundry room and one bathroom. The upper floor includes three bedrooms, all with double beds, air-conditioning and TV’s. Additionally there are two more bathrooms on the upper floor. Outside you have all the privacy you require to enjoy the swimming pool, sun beds, outdoor kitchen, barbecue and dining area. Behind the house there are two paths, one leads to the family olive grove and the other leads to Sokol Grad Tower. Villa Castellum Canalis is located just 7 km away from the quaint village of Gruda where you can find supermarkets (the closest only 2 minutes drive from the Villa), pharmacy, cafe’s, restaurants, a hair dresser and post office. Since there is limited public transport in the area, we recommend that you rent a car for the duration of your stay. You won’t want to miss the extremely scenic drive through the country side and along the coastline to one of the most popular tourist destinations in the world, Dubrovnik Old Town, 37km away. To get away from the tourist mecca of Dubrovnik, the beautiful seaside town of Cavtat is only 21km away with connecting ferry’s to Dubrovnik Old Town and back. Alternatively, Monulat, another lovely seaside town is only 19km away.

We had a fantastic holiday while staying at this absolutely stunning house. Location is quite breathtaking and the house is everything it looks in the photos and more. So comfortable and it’s such a haven that it really makes it difficult to want to bother venturing out and about! That is quite something considering how beautiful the country is! The surrounding country side and coastline is so easily accessible from this property, and there are great restaurants and plenty grocery options nearby too. Ines and Stijepo were brilliant to deal with, so friendly and helpful. We do hope to return in the future!

This is by far the best Villa we have ever stayed in. All the reviews I read said we would not be disappointed and we weren’t. We were amazed by the breathtaking views and the quality of the Villa and the remote location. There is so much space to relax and have your own time or hang out together poolside. The pool was crystal clear and so clean. Ines’ husband Anton cleaned it each morning before we even woke up. We struggled to leave the Villa to explore as we enjoyed being there so much. We went on a walk to visit the nearby Castle and loved it.
A car is a must. Cavtat is a short drive away and was our go to for an evening out or swim in the sea, watching the sunset and having a peaceful waterfront meal. The roads are well maintained making things easy access.
Supermarkets are easy to find. Tommy’s was our favourite but we also travelled to Lidl for our big shop, then topped up at Tommy’s. There is also a great little supermarket in Gruda which is closer.
We drove to Dubrovnik (go early!) but a boat trip from Cavtat is an ideal way to get there. Take beach shoes as the beaches are shingle so can be tricky to walk on but the sea is so inviting.
Ines and her family were very welcoming. They are superb hosts. They live near the Villa and are on hand if you need them, but they are also very respectful and let you enjoy your private space without bothering you. The welcome platter they left for us was greatly appreciated after our late flight and chatting to Grandpa Niko about his home was also a highlight for us.
Take a lilo as pool time is amazing in such a tranquil location. (Lovely long steps into the pool but then it goes to approximately 1metre 50 depth)
We loved Croatia, the views and the Villa. We will definitely return.

Beautiful relaxing stay near dubrovnik
The property looks exactly like the photos. Stunning!
We booked 4 nights as a treat at the end of a fortnight in Croatia and the house was perfect for our needs. Well appointed facilities, nice decor, fantastic views. Probably the pool was the highlight for us and it was spotless, the hosts cleaned it each morning for us before we’d even woken up. We used the bbq grill at the pool one day too which was handy. Even the finer touches like having the outside shower and poolside toilet (which was more luxurious than most of the toilets inside houses I’ve visited before).
Great views to Sokol Grad and our family and friends were wowed by the photos we shared.
Comfortably sleeps 6 in three double rooms.
I don’t really have any negatives tbh. 30-40 minutes drive ti Dubrovnik we just wanted to lounge about the pool all day though.
Chatted ti some locals when we were there too. Hosts, locals, Croatian people generally were very friendly and they really look after their country. Very little litter anywhere.
We very much enjoyed our stay. Probably the best holiday rental I’ve ever stayed in and we’ve stayed in a LOT!

Luxury hillside villa.
As a family of 4 adults we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful house. The property looked great in the photos but is even more impressive in reality, being very tastefully decorated and finished to a high standard. Very quiet peaceful location but supermarkets etc are within easy reach by car. Pool is fantastic and the many terraces offer splendid views up to the castle and across the countryside and there is always a seating area in the sun and one in the shade. We enjoyed day trips to Dubrovnik and Kotor, and had two fantastic meals at the nearby Mrs and Mr Caput’s restaurant (it is a must)! Communication with hosts was great, and we received a very warm welcome from Ines. Would definitely recommend this property!

Wunderschönes Ferienhaus
Wir waren mit der Familie für 1 Woche in diesem wunderschönen Ferienhaus. Die Buchung und der Kontakt mit dem Vermieter verlief jederzeit reibungslos. Sehr freundlicher und herzlicher Empfang bei der Anreise und auch während des Aufenthalts immer gut erreichbar.
Das Ferienhaus ist wunderschön und hat alles was man für den Urlaub braucht. Alles ist sehr modern, sauber und liebevoll eingerichtet. Wir haben uns hier jederzeit sehr wohl gefühlt. Das Haus liegt etwas Abseits in den Bergen, ist aber gut erreichbar (eigenes Auto vorausgesetzt).
Wir würden dieses Haus jederzeit wieder buchen und auch weiter empfehlen.

Ein wunderschönes Fleckchen Erde
Wir genossen die Zeit in diesem Ferienhaus sehr. Es ist sehr hell und groß für eine Familie mit drei Kindern und Großeltern, jeder findet ein ruhiges Plätzchen in den hellen Zimmern. Das Haus ist wunderschön renoviert, liebevoll und bestens ausgestattet. Es liegt sehr ruhig am Berg gelegen, was uns total zugesagt hat, ist umgeben von Olivenhainen und Gemüsegärten. Die Terrasse mit Pool und Aussenküche war für uns allerdings das absolute Highlight- wir grillten jeden Tag nach langen Badetagen. Dafür wurden wir auch noch immer wieder mit frischem Gemüse aus eigenem Anbau versorgt. Tatsächlich wurden wir während unseres Aufenthalts unglaublich herzlich und gastfreundlich aufgenommen - die Vermieter leben in der Nähe, sind jederzeit ansprechbar und erfüllen jeden Wunsch, drängen sich aber niemals auf- man hat das Gefühl, dass man wirklich willkommen ist. Zu den Stränden ist es schon ein Fahrtweg von gut 20 Minuten, dafür wird man mit wunderschöner Natur, felsiger Küste und fast kompletter Einsamkeit belohnt- man muss nur ein bisschen suchen…nur gut zu Fuß sollte man sein- aber selbst mit Dreijähriger gut zu machen. Die Ausflüge in die Umgebung haben uns sehr gut gefallen- besonders war, dass wir eigentlich überall auf sehr freundliche Leute getroffen sind. Die Fahrt von Deutschland ist echt weit und durch Corona- Bestimmungen gab es Verzögerungen- trotzdem hat sie sich total gelohnt und wir würden sofort wieder kommen… besondere Tipps: Natürlich Dubrovnik und Cavtat besuchen! Unbedingt die nahegelegene Burg anschauen- ist toll hergerichtet und wirklich eine Besichtigung wert. Außerdem ist das Olivenöl am Stand vor der Burg exzellent. Und zu guter Letzt- das Restaurant Mr.und Mrs. Caput im Dorf unterhalb serviert bestes, frisches Essen insbesondere Fisch bei herrlichem Sonnenuntergang auf der Terrasse…

What a stunning place this is! The property itself is exceptional, loving restored with no detail spared design and with views to match.
Our family with our 3 young children have had a really memorable time playing in the pool, walking up to the fort and enjoying spending time together.
The hosts owners are always on hand if required and are a wonderful family making sure that every detail is looked after from ensuring the daily pool clean to very generously bringing over the most impressive vegetables from their garden.
As a place to stay, it is a real sanctuary, that be warned, you may never want to leave! If you do wish to venture out Dubrovnik old town is a great trip and there are plenty of local beaches to explore.
Local shops are available within a short drive and the biggest supermarket is a drive away but stock up and enjoy the views!
Car essential but we found it increasingly difficult to tear ourselves away and venture out from this blissful place.
Thank you for a wonderful week.

Beautiful villa and location
This is the best villa we have ever stayed in! Lovingly refurbished to a fantastic standard throughout and every need catered for. Ines and Anton were lovely to our family and extremely welcoming and helpful. The nearby castle and surroundings were beautiful and the whole stay was very relaxing. Would definitely come back again and cannot recommend highly enough! Many thanks again!

Perfect in every way from start to finish.
Such a warm welcome from Grandpa Niko, Anton & Ines - rightly very proud of the beautiful villa they have created.
This stunning house, and it’s incredible exterior, made for a truly amazing and memorable week. We and our three children (8, 10 and 13) thought we’d been transported to heaven! The views, the pool, the many different outside areas, the open plan living space...all amazing. It looked amazing in the photos, but the reality is even more impressive.
The attention to detail is incredible - we particularly loved the ceramics and the fabulous floors - and all the furnishings made for a very comfortable and stylish look.
The hosts have thought of everything. Their kindness and hospitality continued throughout the week with delicious fresh towels and bedding, pool cleaning before we’d even woken, offers to print tickets, local recommendations, garden produce and amazing cake. It’s like a serviced apartment and so much more.
Such a delightful family - so generous, yet discrete and unintrusive.
We will be back in a heart beat! Thank you for a wonderful family holiday.

Best place
We stayed as a family of 4 adults & 4 kids (from 1,5 to 12 yes) and without any doubt this house was the final highlight of our wonderful Croatia trip. Modern and spacious, yet very cozy, with a nice little garden spreading into nearby fields and woods and finally a massive pool area including an extra outdoor kitchen- none of us felt the urge to leave this place at all (although e.g. Cavtat is a great place and only 15 minutes drive). What does not really come out on the photos is the exceptionally gorgeous location on a mountain overlooking a wide green valley full of cypress and olive trees and the sea within sight. A cool mediaval fortress is a direct neighbour, the kids loved it. Finally the host family living nearby are the certainly the nicest and most caring people you can imagine! Enjoy this perfect place!

Long lies and summer skies
This was a villa which not only lived up to expectations but exceeded them. It was clean, modern had everything you need. Dont be put off by the fact that it is not located in the center of a the busy tourist resort. Its much better positioned where it is. It is has privacy, great views, quiet surroundings but not completely isolated. There is a nearby town with a small supermarket and the larger ones are only about 20 minute drive away . Look out for either Tommys or Pemos where you will get all your provisions. If required the Wifi is great and there is a TV in the main lounge and each bedroom. Outside cooking facilities next to the pool area , radio and much much more. Dont bother taking any towels at all . The owners make sure you have plenty during your stay.Located next to the tourist attraction of Sokol Grad the views and scenery were outstanding. I would highly recommend this property to anyone who doesn’t settle for just average. It is located on the hillside about a 20 -25 minute drive from the lovely town of Cavtat with its many resturants and lovely marina. At the same time the property via Gruda is only again 20-25 minutes away from the airport. Next to the entrance to the airport is a fuel station, convenient for filling up your hire car before returning it. Can’t speak highly enough about the friendly welcome we received from the owners who stay nearby. They looked after us and made us feel very welcome. The were the perfect hosts. Due to its location a car really is essential but if you enjoy eating breakfast in the early morning sun overlooking the hills in peace and quiet then this is the place for you. If the high standards are maintained in this property then people I would expect will return year after year to this same location. You will not be disappointed!!
