A very comfortable family apartment in the most perfect location
Where do I start when describing our fabulous stay in Cavtat! Not only is Cavtat the perfect location - a beautiful, bustling little town just a boat or bus ride from Dubrovnik - but Villa Andrusko happens to be in the most perfect location within the town too.
No steep steps to climb with this property, Villa Anmdrusko is located right on the water's edge by the water polo so you are a stone's throw from the sea, the promenade, the restaurants, the bakery, grocery store and super yachts! Hence we give the location a 10 out of 10.
As for the property, it is reached through a door in a stone wall around the back of the Poseidon Restaurant and has a beautiful, peaceful walled garden. Much of this is in the shade, with garden furniture to relax on. There is also a higher terrace from which to view the famous sunsets (which did also act as a useful place for hanging washing), a table tennis table (mind your head on the tree!) and access to a tennis court behind. The garden was shared by Andrusko's family who live on the ground floor of the house with the two self-contained holiday apartments on the first and second floors.
We stayed in the first floor apartment which sleeps 6 in 3 spacious bedrooms. Two of the bedrooms faced the sea and led out to the balcony. Whilst the view was a bit impeded by trees, it was still very pleasant to sit out on the balconies and watch the boats out to sea. All of the bedrooms were nicely furnished, and we slept well on the comfortable beds with the very welcome air conditioning.
The apartment had two immaculate shower rooms, each with shower, sink and toilet, accessed from the main hallway. There was also a very well equipped kitchen with seating and space for all of us. There was no lounge, which might sound a bit unusual but we simply didn't miss it at all.
I understand that the second floor apartment was very similar (no balconies but better views) and sleeps 7.
The icing on the cake was Andrusko himself and his son - yes, they discretely refreshed bed linen and towels etc regularly - but more importantly, were amazingly welcoming and friendly. Our taxis to and from the airport were arranged for us, discounts on day trips and restaurants were discussed (everyone knows Andrusko!), homemade walnut brandy was shared with us and farewell breakfast tea and coffee was served. We felt privileged to have experienced such wonderful hospitality and felt we had found the real Croatia with Andrusko and his family!
