Maistra Select Mlini Villas and Apartments

Our 2nd visit to the apartments in a year, both end of October. The apartments are 2nd to none. Outstanding with everything you could possibly wish for.

Nothing to dislike

It was a beautiful, spectacular apartment. Serene atmosphere and helpful staff.

Croatia as a whole is very clean and this resort was beautifully kept with great facilities. The beach is lovely to walk along and Mlini is ideally loacated between the stunning Cavtat and impressive Dubrovnic. The apartment itself had a very comfy and clean living room, small kitchenette, bathroom with bath and bedroom with lots of storage. There are two restaurants on site and the hotel itself has a huge buffet breakfast (probably lunch and dinner too but not sure as we didn't make use)

If you can't do cold water plunging, the pool is quite cold! The sea is lovely and clear though, so we didn't need the pool!

Lovely setting with excellent views from our standard apartment balcony. Good pizza / pasta restaurant which is the Hotel Asterea’s à la carte restaurant, set by the sea with a lovely terrace. Reasonable, UK prices.

We also had a ‘superior apartment’ which was in a separate building to the other apartments. We opted for that apartment and paid extra versus the ‘standard’ on the basis it would be as nice but offer something ‘extra’ in addition. Whilst the apartment was spacious, it’s in desperate need of modernisation and repair. There was obvious flood damage to all the doors and the base of each door frame was damaged and peeling off. The bathroom door didn’t close - presumably because of the flood damage - and there was a large exposed water tank in the bathroom which could easily have been boxed in. The shower was set over the bath and some may find it difficult to squeeze in between the sink and the shower screen to get in and out. There was also a damp smell throughout, combined with a strong smell of air freshener when we arrived, possibly to hide the musty smell. The apartment had a garden but it was set low, beside the swimming pool, and without the fabulous views of our other standard apartment. The overall feel of the apartment was dark and very dated, unlike the standard apartment which was bright and modern. The pool area was packed every day and very difficult to get a sun longer if arriving after 8am. The beach charged for use of a parasol and lounger - 18€. The standard apartment was a tight fit for 3 people - much more suited to 2 unless the extra person is a very young child.
