Location
About the surrounding area of Villa SauloVilla Saulo is in a fantastic, rural, totally thrillingly beautiful area with wonderful panoramic views of the terrific mountains and dazzling sea. Mlini, 3km away, is the nearest seaside location with shops, restaurant and beach. Mlini is a small, idyllic fishing village located halfway between Cavtat and Dubrovnik with a charming harbour, lovely pebble and sand beach, cafes and restaurants and gorgeous sunsets. Mlini lies between numerous freshwater wellsprings that used to power flour mills in the past. That is how it got its name. It is fun watching people playing water polo in the evenings. You can hop on a water ferry to visit Dubrovnik Old Town from here if you do not want to drive. You can also get to Lokrum where some of Game of Thrones was filmed and enjoy a peaceful day with a delicious picnic. You will see the beautiful nature and much wildlife and you can go to the popular saltwater swimming spot named the ‘Dead Sea’.
Of course, anyone staying in this area will be visiting the priceless pearl gracing the south shores of the Adriatic Sea, Dubrovnik. With its breathtaking natural beauties, rich historical heritage and fantastic restaurants and entertainment, it is awe-inspiring. You can soak up the romantic atmosphere of the narrow streets, admire the countless monuments, taste the delicious city’s rich gastronomic offer and be left breathless with the harmonious beauty of the Old Town. You should try some signature dishes such as rozata, kotonjata or black risotto along with local wines while in the restaurants. Once tired of sightseeing, the crystal clear, the azure sea is awaiting. There are several beautiful beaches close by.
Cavtat, 20km south of Dubrovnik and only 22km from the border of stunning Montenegro are very pretty and rich in cultural history. It is worth a visit as it is known for its beautiful beaches, crystal clear waters and the many ancient necropolises dotted around. There are several museums and galleries. You will find some lovely restaurants with rich, local gastronomic offerings.

The view is breathtaking!
An amazing welcome by Diana, the property owner. The house was spotless, the view is breathtaking and the weather perfect!

The villa was absolutely beautiful
We stayed at Dalmatian Villa Saulo for a week with 6 adults and 3 children under the age of 5. The villa was absolutely beautiful, the photos don't do it justice and the view is breathtaking. The pool and the outdoor kitchen just added to the most wonderful holiday. Diana was the perfect host! Communicating with us before hand to make our trip as smooth as possible. She booked hairdressers for us for a wedding we were attending, a Croatian meal (definitely one not to miss) and arranged all of our taxis. She also brought us fresh produce, home made cakes and wine and surprised us with a leaving gift! If you are thinking of visiting Croatia this villa is perfect! A short taxi ride to both Dubrovnik and Mlini but also you are able to enjoy the quiet days and evenings in this beautiful location.

Stand out home with an astonishing view!
We stayed at Villa Saulo for 4 nights in June. The villa was exactly as described and exceeded expectation. It was immaculately clean and decorated to an extremely high standard. The design is contemporary yet homely. The 2nd kitchen outside is a wonderful addition with an inbuilt BBQ, sink, ice maker and professional glass cleaner. The pool is big enough, clean and well maintained, with plenty of sunbeds. However, what really makes this home stand out from the crowd is the astonishing view. Taking breakfast on the upper kitchen terrace or downstairs by the pool, it is possible to enjoy the most incredible vista.
Sweeping countryside, rugged hillsides, cypress trees, houses dotted about, and a glistening sea in the distance. Diana's communication leading up to and during our stay was always responsive. She was extremely helpful and offered a wonderful suggestion for dinner at a local restaurant. She even even presented us with a bottle of wine, some fresh vegetables and a homemade cake which her mother made (delicious!).If you are looking for a villa with some privacy but still just a short taxi ride from Dubrovnik old town then this property would be perfect for you. I wholeheartedly recommend it and would like to thank Diana for being a perfect host. -
Highly recommend!!
Diana was the best host we have ever had - she went above and beyond to make sure we had a really special time at her beautiful house. The house itself is finished to an extremely high standard, thoroughly well thought-out, and situated in a really convenient location (close to Dubrovnik airport, 5 minute drive from supermarket / shops and near some lovely restaurants and beaches). Diana and her family are generous, lovely people, and even helped us book some really great places to eat as well as a walking tour around Dubrovnik Old Town. We would go back here time and time again - highly recommend!!

Definately recommend!
We have just returned from a 1 week stay, with 8 adults and 3 young kids in total and we all absolutely loved the villa. The views are amazing, and outside space is great! The villa was also lovely and clean and very well presented with great utilities . We couldn't have asked for a better host...she is very friendly, super helpful helping to arrange airport transfers, cots for the children and a massage at the villa and she also provided complimentary local apples, figs, cake and alcohol!
Don't miss out! Reserve now and get a full refund if you change your mind within 48hrs.
