Villa Kate could not have been more perfect for our group of 11. It is a beautiful villa, perched high on the mountain overlooking the Dubrovnik coastline. Very comfortable bedrooms, and ample living spaces (including 4 kitchens) gave us all the opportunity to spend time together, or have quiet time apart. Everything was well stocked and we needed for nothing. The villa is about a 15-20 minute drive to old Dubrovnik. When booking, I had concerns about this, but it turned out to be perfect. It was an easy uber ride to anything we needed (many places in walking distance). But the best part was the incredible views the location afforded. Just spectacular! Lounging by the pool, looking out at the ocean and spectacular landscape, was incredible. The pool area had very comfortable furniture, umbrellas, bathroom, and a fridge to stock your drinks in, so you could easily settle in for a while. Ivana was an incredible host. She greeted us on arrival and gave us a tour of the house. She provided us with her number, and was accessible for ordering transport, tours and food delivery. Anything we needed to know, she was there to help, which was very useful as we were not familiar with Dubrovnik. If I was to make one complaint (and it's a very minor one) - as it got very windy at night we had to keep our doors and windows shut (a lot of door slamming going on otherwise), so a few fans to circulate the air would be nice. But this is really minor - when you are in paradise, it's easy to overlook this. Our vacation was a very special gathering of family and friends, and Villa Kate was the perfect place for us to further build our memories together. Thank you Ivana!!! Craig - Dallas TX

This is a special property. The view is magnificent. You cannot find a better hostess than Ivana. She arranged our transfers from the airport and to the port where we caught the catamaran to Hvar. She even drove into Dubrovnik to pick up our tickets. If we needed anything it was done immediately. Mlini is only a short ride to Dubrovnik about 100 kuna for 4 and 150 kuna for 7 by Uber. Don’t try driving because parking is difficult to find and expensive. The bus is 18 kuna each way but make sure you know where to get off because it does not go down to the old town. If you call Uber in Dubrovnik you must walk up the street from the Pile gate to the Hilton. The Uber drivers are not allowed to stop outside gate. Mlini itself has good beaches and restaurants and a large supermarket. About 35 kuna back to the Villa. If you want a day to relax, for 95 kuna you can rent 2 sun beds and an umbrella. Easy walk down not so easy back up. However everyone in our group is over 60 and we all did it. The Villa has 3 separate levels each with their own kitchen plus a small studio apartment. Lots of space to get away if you want to alone. The pool area great area to cool off at the end of the day. I can’t say enough about Villa Kate and Ivana

We travelled here with 4 families and it was perfect! The pool was so much fun and the villa layout was so accommodating for our group. Nicely appointed kitchen, and great linens. The views from the deck are spectacular!!

I cannot speak more highly about Ivana, her friend Nikolina and her property. Together Ivana and Nikolina made our stay overly special from recommendations to finalizing minute details and picking up a birthday cake from down town Dubrovnik for us. They were in one single word AMAZING! The property is beyond gorgeous - the pool, the scenic overlook over the Adriatic sea and the apartments were perfect! One minor thing if I have to say - is with it being on a mountain side, the road to the property is narrow and steep. Driving on that road scared me. However, we have already decided we will visit again. Our stay was three days and way too short. I would come back for a week and just enjoy the scenic overlook and the hospitality. Thank you for everything.

The views are breath taking and the villa is very spacious. There are 5 double beds and 1 twin room so it sleeps 12 comfortably. Ivana is delightful - very helpful but not at all pushy. It’s a steep walk into the village but Uber taxis are plentiful so it is easy to walk down to restaurant/bar/supermarket and then Uber back if you feel lazy! We had a wonderful holiday and loved the villa and the whole area.The pool is perfect and there are plenty of loungers and a great bbq plus loo and fridge right by the pool.

Fantastic week staying at Villa Kate. Ivana greeted us on arrival and showed us everything we needed to know regarding the villa and surrounding areas. She was extremely helpful and willing to help in anyway. She even text during the stay to see if we needed anything. It was very reassuring to have someone so helpful especially having 2 young children. The villa was stunning, it’s split into 3 spectate floors which was great for us as were able to keep the kids away from our family at night (great for their ears!) The pool area is stunning and we thoroughly enjoyed sitting and playing down there with the kids most days. My only fault is the steps for young children, a bit of a drop on the other side but they were never walking alone so we were fine. OH AND THE VIEW. JUST BEAUTIFUL! The beds were really comfortable and the temperature of the villa was perfect. Many different balconies and places to chill so everybody had a little place to themselves if they needed a time out. It was a fantastic family holiday and we would 100% return! Thank you for a truly lovely stay! GG

Waking up to a beautiful view everyday could only put a smile in your face and in your heart. Beautiful outdoor area, and balconies throughout the house to enjoy the views from the inside and/or the outside. Ivanna and Josip were the most helpful hosts, they were responsive, helped us with reservations, restaurant recommendations, where to go, what to do, and just were always available for anything that we needed. While the Villa is around 20 minutes from Dubrovnik, it's centrally located in a lovely village of Mlini, and in many ways it was nice to be away from the town center. We had no parking issues! Villa is perfect for large group providing everyone with plenty of privacy. We highly recommend the property!

We went as a group of six and booked this way back in January. Communication with Ivana was constant and great. We were picked up from the airport and taken back at the end of our stay for a small fee which was definitely worth it. The villa itself is tucked away up a windy road but it's breathtaking once you get there. It's EXACTLY as the pictures show with three floors all with their own bathrooms and kitchen. We used all the facilities including the pool, games room and BBQ. Ivana was a brilliant host as was Josip who were always just a call or text away even for trips to old town, the shops or for pizza. Old town is about 10 mins drive away but there is a medium size shopping complex within walking distance. As is an activity centre 'Beta Adventures' I highly recommend them also for jet skis and quad bikes. All in all a perfect stay in Croatia for all of us and we will definitely be returning. Thank You Ivana & Josip :)
