This is not some minimalist purpose-built, or stripped down converted, holiday home. The house was built by the owners' grandparents, and while all modern conveniences and a pool have been added, it retains many original features including a lush well tended garden, house plants and paintings. The beds and furnishings are comfortable, and there are several distinct social spaces, both inside and outside, including a large outside glassed-in gazebo with its own kitchen and dining table. The beach is a two minute walk across a generally quiet road and down a path through pine trees. We had no need of a car: from Mlini there are regular ferry services to Dubrovnik and Cavtat,and there are local convenience stores and a giant Konsum. It was a privilege to be hosted by Katja and Drago. They could not have been more welcoming or attentive.

My family of 4 and I just returned to the US from an absolutely wonderful three week stay at the lovely Villa Gemma…& we all agreed that it was literally a mini paradise 🌴🔆
Beautifully designed in Croatian style, lush vegetation, a perfect pool, outdoor kitchen, with plenty of room to spread out and cozy little nooks to hang out in…
Ideally located 15 mins from both Old Town Dubrovnik & DBV airport, as well as walking distance to multiple beautiful Adriatic beaches, restaurants & shops in Mlini.
Our hosts were wonderful & were there for anything that we needed 😍
Miss it already & we can’t wait to return!!! ♥️♥️♥️

From July 9th to 19th, we had the pleasure of staying at Villa Gemma. It was 10 fantastic days in a beautiful villa with a host (Dragutin) who went out of his way to ensure we had the best possible stay. We loved the house and the outdoor areas, and how clean and well-maintained everything was. It was great to have air conditioning both in the living room and the bedrooms, and with three bathrooms, our family of four had more than enough space.
The surrounding area was also very nice, and there was always a good spot available on the beaches or by the cliffs where we could swim in peace. Since the weather was warm and sunny, we also made great use of the pool, where the water was both refreshing and clean.
Everything we needed was within walking distance — from small and large supermarkets to beaches, restaurants, and even the water taxi. We already miss the place and the peaceful atmosphere and would love to come back.
Kind regards,
Anette

Villa Gemma is in a fantastic location. It is easy walking distance to beaches and restaurants in Mlini and Srebreno but also ideally located for visiting other areas such as Dubrovnik or Cavtat.
The villa itself was perfect for our family of four and the kids loved the pool. The air conditioning was also really appreciated in the hot weather!

A perfect holiday with our two teenage kids. The villa is spacious and fully air conditioned, and the kids were delighted to have their own rooms with attached bathroom. The weather was gloriously hot so we spent the week in the pool or at the beach. Within a few minutes' walk you can reach a number of beaches ranging from busy with full amenities (bars, cafes) to quiet spots where you can see fish swimming in the clear water. You can also hire pedalos, SUPs, kayaks, jet skis, etc. There are many restaurants to choose from, specialising in pizzas, pasta, grilled fish and meat, and even though it was peak season we didn't need to book. The shop at the top of the road sells everything you need and includes a bakery so you can get fresh croissants and delicious watermelon. An excellent place to stay, highly recommended!

Mlini is lovely with plenty to do - restaurants, the sea (and activities) and a great beach bars. Excellent location. Paolo’s villa is well kitted out and only a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Would stay again.

Wow! What can I say? First of all, Drago (Paco's son) was an exemplary host! I'm often wary of booking places directly via the likes of agency, but this villa in the heart of the Mlini/Srebreno area is s complete gem of a find. Our holiday choice this year was a bit of a 'pin in the map' decision but we are do glad that we landed upon Pavo's/Drago's villa. It's everything that you could wish for... Spacious, homely and a superb base for exploring such a wonderful area of Croatia.
If you're thinking twice about booking this accommodation then do yourself a favour and go for it...! You won't be disappointed! Can't wait to go back :)

My family and I enjoyed a stay in Villa Gemma for a week in early September. The location was ideal with beaches, restaurants and supermarkets in easy walking distance. The villa is spacious, well furnished and private. Our hosts provided clear instructions and were keen to help out in anyway they could. The bus stop for the regular no 10 bus to Dubrovnik was a short walk away making it a good alternative to trying to find parking near Old Town.
