Warm welcome.
We were met by Stijepo who helped us park the car right at the house, and went into the kitchen where his mother Anka offered us a drink and homemade sweets. What a welcome! They made us feel right at home on our first night in Croatia. They speak English, which helps a lot. We felt very comfortable during our stay. It's only 5 minutes walk down to the port and promenade, with lots of stores and restaurants, but it's quiet and peaceful in a residential area. We would stay there again.

We received a very warm welcome from Anka and her family, complete with cake and a drink. The property itself was really large with huge super comfy beds and a new kitchen, it was perfect for us in every way. It was in a superb location, just 5 mins from town with lovely views on the way down. I can't recommend Villa Anka highly enough, it was superb

Friendly and comfortable
From the minute we arrived we were made to feel so welcome! Homemade cake, elderflower drink, homegrown grapes and figs from the loveliest family anyone could wish to stay with. The apartment was so comfortable and clean with plenty towels, satellite TV and wifi. Close to the harbour even though the walk back was very steep we made it a challenge to do it quicker every night! Would not hesitate to recommend this property and its wonderful owners.

This place is 22 km from Dubrovnik, about 45 min travel on twisting roads. It is on a steep hill. Nice, helpfull owners. Caution: does not accept credit or debit card for payment, only cash! Had to run around ATM machines to get cash. ;

Comfortable 2-bedroom apartment at Villa Anka, with all the amenities desirable for a good holiday. Hosts, Anka and Luka, were very pleasant and helpful, but unobtrusive. Only drawback - common to much of the holiday accommodation in Cavtat - is that the apartment was at the top of a steady incline: 5 minutes walk down to the harbour area, but a 10 to 15 minute hard trek back up to the apartment. You need to be reasonably fit to cope with this. This is not a bad reflection on Ville Anka - just the nature of the resort itself.

Close to DBV & Cavtat
Very close to DBV airport, less then 10 min walk downhill to Cavtat town (that means uphill walk back) where we took the #10 bus to & from Dubrovnik. Our room is clean, with a kitchen (& cloth washer). We made our own dinner & ate at the balcony while watching the sunset, very relaxing. The host are very nice. They accept Euro cash for payment. The WiFi is a bit weak & stairs only.

holiday
We had an amazing time. Anka was a great host. Greeted with cake and local brandy. Fantastic. Balcony with partial sea view was great. Anka's husband was kind enough to take us to airport upon leaving. Very nice couple. Anka very informative, answered any questions or concerns we had. Room was very comfortable and had everything we needed. Only things that could have been improved upon was WiFi, poor signal in room. Bit of a hike uphill (10% gradient)from Cavtat harbour up to apartment. Just take your time and follow road up hill rather than upstairs direct route. All in all a brilliant place to stay and couldn't have wished for nicer hosts. thank you. Hope to return one day.

Great personal experience at Villa Anka
The staff is awesome. I cannot say enough about Anka, such a lovely, kind lady. She always greeted us with smiles and treats. The figs, tomatoes, zucchini were fresh and delicious. Stijepo is pleasant and gave us great tips - take the ferry to Dubrovnik instead of the bus. Enjoy the beach, take day trips to neighboring Montenegro, Medugorje etc. The walk to the hotel is steep but if you are a healthy person, it could be part of your work out. We enjoyed our time and stay and Villa Anka.

Perfect perch on a hill
We stayed at Villa Anka for a week in a large room on the second floor with a kingsized bed and a single. There was a good sized kitchen, well supplied with all implements needed for cooking (and even a washing machine), and a bathroom off the bedroom with solar-heated shower in the tub. There was also a little balcony off the bedroom with a line for drying clothes, and wifi in the room which was not the strongest, but was adequate for our needs with 2-4 bars. We wanted to use Cavtat, a pleasant village in its own right, as a base for exploring Dubrovnik and the Konavle region with day-trips to Montenegro and Mostar. We had a car and wanted to park it somewhere which had on-site free parking (parking is a problem in Dubrovnik). For our purposes Villa Anka served excellently well. Anka herself, the proprietress, lives downstairs, and is both friendly and efficient in doing all she can to make her guests comfortable and the room well-maintained. Clean towels were brought several times during our stay, garbage was regularly emptied, and often gifts of home baking or fresh produce would appear on the table. The access to the town is direct via a staircase -- room to village is only 7 minutes -- but the incline is steep. Cavtat village has about 5 different swimming spots, two grocery stores (prices better than the city), a bus terminal, a travel agency to arrange day trips, restaurants, banks etc. It is excellently well-appointed as a base for exploring this area.

The perfect hosts!!
These people are the PERFECT hosts! They have been very generous and kind. They extended my stay without costing anything. Moreover, the owner was so nice to drop me off at the airport himself. The place is close to the city centre. I will stay at the same place whenever I will visit Cavtat again...which I surely will!!

Great value for small price
We have chosen to stay at Cavtat last night in our trip in Croatia before flying back home. The room we got was huge with fully equipped kitchen, good location, a bit up the hill, but very close to old town centre. Family which rents the rooms was very friendly and offered us to come again in the evening to shower many hours after checkout and we could leave the car there for whole day. The facility is a bit basic, but great value for the price we paid.

Spacious Apartment with views of sea
I was very fortunate that we were given an apartment with 2 bedrooms (only needed 1 bedroom) , we had balconys in both rooms. Fresh towels were provided daily. Owner greeted us with drinks and snacks. Quiet location - only down side is the hill back to the apartment.

Stayed here one night at the end of our Croatia trip as it was close to the airport. The apartment was very nice and the hosts were fantastically accommodating - we got homemade cake, wine and juice on our arrival :) The location of the apartment was great too, not in the main part but a short 5 min walk from the main town with all the restaurants.

An excellent option
Probably the best thing about this place is Anka, the lady owner of the hotel. She is lovely - very helpful and friendly, and tries hard to communicate in English and make you comfortable. This is a villa, so it's more like staying in a small apartment. Our room was huge, and there was even a kitchenette. Anka keeps the place very clean, and so even though the amenities are a little basic, we were very comfortable here. The location is only good if you have a car. Apparently in the summer there is good reason to stay in Cavtat because of the beaches, etc. We were only there because of it's close proximity to the airport for our 6am departure the next day. I'm glad we stayed here, I was very satisfied.
