Reviews from visitors:
Wonderfull... great accomodation and a lovely service.
Decent place to stay, friendly person to welcome you and explain stuff.
Do not eat on any of the restaurants in the main street nearby.
Nice little yard, small clean swimming pool.
Breakfast was next door, definitely worth to take as extra! You can also have a good wine there in the evening.
Not only is it perfectly placed for everywhere in Dubrovnik, but the 1930's building is stunning and spotlessly clean.
Add to this a fantastic host in Anita.
Kind, informative , caring and attentive . You couldn't wish for a better hotel and host.
Another plus is you get use of Hotel Mores pool and sunbathing area. Couldn't reccomend Anita and the Villa more!
Lovely room with good size bathroom and shower. Good location with easy access to beaches, restaurants and bars. The only negative is breakfast that have to take across the road, the options were limited and service very slow.
We have just returned from a long weekend staying at Villa Filaus in Dubrovnik. It was our first visit to Croatia and we were so impressed with the location. We were met at the airport by the very informative Predo, who the hotel had booked to drive us the 30 minute trip along the coastal road to the villa. We had a late flight but were emailed all of the necessary information from the lovely Anita, who was the hostess at the villa.
The Villa Filaus is a magnificent building with all of the comforts that you require, in fact it was like staying in someone's home. The bed was really comfortable and the room had a large flat screen tv on the wall, which had English channels too. A large walk in shower, writing desk, air conditioning, telephone, hair dryer, plenty of wardrobe space with a built in safe, bath robes and slippers, tea & coffee making facilities and a balcony. The Wi-Fi was also very good and there is an outdoor swimming pool.
If you stay at Villa Filaus you also have use of all of the amenities and services of the five star Hotel More, which is a 10 minute walk along the scenic promenade along Lapad Bay. Here you will find the amazing Cave Bar and sun deck. The Cave Bar is a unique experience, an underground cave which has been turned into a beautiful bar with soft lighting and a feature glass walkway over a well. The area where the hotel is located is known as Sunset Beach and you will see the most gorgeous sunsets over the calm Adriatic Sea, whilst sipping a cocktail from the comfy chairs and sofas that line the decking.
Our hosts Nika at the hotel and Anita at the Villa Filaus were so accommodating and nothing was too much effort for them. They told us the best locations to visit whilst we were in Dubrovnik and arranged our return taxi home. Breakfast if you are staying at the Villa Filaus is directly across the road at the Rhea Silvia restaurant, which served us a nice continental breakfast with juices and tea and coffee. If you want something to eat whilst waiting for the sunset at the Hotel More, try the burgers...they are absolutely delicious.
Dubrovnik Old Town is a must to visit if you are in Dubrovnik, pay the extra and take the City Walls tour, which gives you unparalleled views of this spectacular location. We also took a boat trip around Lokrum Island and a cable car trip up the hillside where you will see the entire Old Town nestling in the bay.
EasyJet flights from London Luton Airport were just over two hours and the bus services from the Lapad area to the Old Town take about 15 minutes and are very good value. Dining out was also excellent value and the pedestrian area along the promenade has lots of restaurants.
We would highly recommend both the Hotel More and the Villa Filaus and would love to return here again soon.
