We are just back from our second stay at Villa Lucija and I would happily go back again and again. Everything from the very welcoming hosts to the property itself and the surrounding area is just perfect. We always hire a car if visiting and it is very easy to get around. The location so close to the airport is great too.
Everything was wonderful! Super cleanFabulous amenities Host Lucija was so helpful and thoughtful tooā¦. She noticed it was our daughterās birthday and made a cake!We loved it all and will return.

Thank you dear Beverly,
you and your family are truly the kind of guests every host wishes for. We would be delighted to welcome you again anytime! All the best, Lucija & Stipica
Everything previous reviewers said is 100% correct. The beauty of the space and surroundings, the comfort provided, the attention to detail and kindness of the hosts were all top notch.
Our first time in Croatia and after staying at Villa Lucija we will be back! A beautiful property overlooking the countryside and out to the sea. Our host Lucija and her family were so helpful and kind, always there when we had questions. The property was exceptionally clean and well equipped from the property upstairs to the outside kitchen and pool. Some homemade treats on arrival was a lovely touch. Despite being close to the airport we found the location of the property excellent, easy to drive to the local town Cavat or further north for a day in Dubrovnik. The town Äilipi itself has a few supermarkets, pizzeria and bar/cafe which was lovely to walk up to in the evenings. I highly recommend this property to anyone looking for somewhere to stay.
I was booking for Dubrovnik but we were so pleasantly surprised to be at this property away from the crowds of Dubrovnik. The owner was great, telling us about a trail that we walked for a few hours to the quaint town of Cavtat. We were only able to stay at the property a few days but it was beautiful, large, clean and we felt very safe!
We had a fantastic stay at Villa Lucija. Our hosts were incredibly helpful and friendly, even offering to pick us up from the airport and allowing us an earlier check in.The place was spotless and was plenty of space for the five of us (3x double bedrooms and x2 bathrooms). The outdoor space was the real highlight - featuring a big pool, lots of sun loungers, a sofa and dining area, and fully equipped outdoor kitchen. We had a lovely BBQ one evening! The location was also perfect, only a short drive to beautiful Cavtat where you can get a ferry into Dubrovnik. Or you can get a 30-40 min Uber into the city if preferred.Would definitely visit again!
Lovely week in this beautiful country and amazing villa. We loved the quiet location with beach bar that we walked to with crystal clear water and within east reach of Cavtat. Villa itself was excellent. Kids were always in the pool and we made great use of the outside kitchen. Couldnāt have asked for more from our friendly hosts.

Lucius and Stipica provided an absolutely wonderful stay for us! They are so welcoming and sincere. Delicious goodies and homemade wine waiting for us! The apartment, pool, outdoor area are all absolutely immaculate and designed so perfectly. Everything is very spacious and the view is perfect! Loved the village, the church bells, and evening Mass. I hope to come back to stay again!
This property is exceptional! The hosts are very welcoming and helpful and brought us treats and snacks throughout our stay. The outside space is beautiful and so relaxing. We loved the outside kitchen and pool area. The apartment is very clean, modern and spacious with lovely decor. Weād love to return.

Dear Beverly,
It's been a pleasure to meet and host your family. Thank you for beeing so wonderful guests š! Hope to see you again š
Had a wonderful time at Villa Lucija. We had long lazy days beside the pool along with al fresco dining using the outside kitchen, the villa itself was very high quality and a real home from home. There was only a short walk to shops and even a bar and pizzeria. Cavtat and Dubrovnik were in easy reach for days out. To top all this Lucija and Stipica were amazing hosts and made us feel so welcome with home made treats and nothing was any bother to them. This was a holiday we will not forget for a long time and could Not recommended highly enough.
We have just returned from a fabulous 9 days at this property. Honestly I can say it was perfect. So easy with our young family, a beautiful home and spotlessly clean. The family is so lovely and Lucija surprised us with lovely items of home made treats and produce from their garden which was absolutely appreciated. The nicest tomatoes we have eaten. We hope to return to this beautiful region of Croatia and to this property. We were very sad to leave.

We had a fantastic stay at Villa Lucija. Lucija was the perfect host - treating us to gifts of cake, figs and pancakes during our stay. The Villa is beautiful, impeccably clean and has everything you could possibly need. The pool is a great size with a jacuzzi. 6 sunbeds, wonderful outdoor kitchen and beautiful terrace. Definitely recommend the pizzeria in the town square - we dined there twice - very cheap just ā¬7 for a delicious large pizza. Well stocked supermarket within walking distance. Simply amazing place. Thank you Lucija x
Villa Lucija was a great choice for our holidays! We have been there in June, the weather was perfect so we could enjoy the outdoor kitchen, pool and whirlpool. I didn't miss anything. Lucija greeted us when we arrived, she made welcome snacks (she even made me dessert for my birthday!) Communication was very easy and very nice. Thank you for being our host!

Thank you for your review. It was a pleasure to host you and your family. Thank you so much for taking so much care of the apartmentš. Hope to see you againš„
Really enjoyed our stay with Lucija and Stipica. The accommodation is beautiful with everything you need. There is also air con which made a massive difference with the heat in the evening. The pool area, outdoor kitchen and lounge area make it super special.
Lovely little village with two shops, bar and pizza restaurant. We decided to not hire a car and was super easy to get Ubers as itās close to the airport.
Lucija and Stipica go above and beyond and made our holiday very special. Lucija even made a birthday cake for my daughter as she celebrated it on holiday.
100% recommend this accommodation for holidays - doesnāt get any better.

Dear Jane, thank you for the nice review! It makes us happy to hear that you liked our villa and had great holiday with us. Hope to see you again:)
Our stay at the villa was wonderful.
Lucija is a fantastic and attentive host and the villa is superbly equipped and fantastically clean. Plenty of aircon makes it extremely comfortable at all times of the day.
She presented many little extras like wraps and small cakes when we arrived, fresh figs picked from the garden, picked us up from the airport and even made us all a delicious chocolate/tiramisu dessert!
The pool, outside kitchen and veranda area is spacious and of the highest quality, with a view towards the sea. Looks fantastic at night lit up!
I highly recommend a stay here - it's only 10 minutes to Cavtat which is great little resort, and 30 minutes to Dubrovnik, which is lovely but very busy this time of year.
We stayed 10 nights at Villa Lucija Jul 2024 and it was perfect just how the photos showed. The hosts Lucija and Stipica are wonderful and on hand if needed and surprised us with treats throughout our stay. The three bedroom apartment is spacious, with great air conditioning and has everything you will need along with sole use of the outdoor area which has an outdoor kitchen, dining and seating area along with the fabulous pool. Cilipi is only about 10 mins from the airport, it has a lovely Pizza Restaurant, a couple of bars and two shops for your daily groceries. We decided not to hire a car but it easy to get Uber's, they are reasonably priced and you are in easy reach of Cavtat and Dubrovnik. I would definitely recommend Villa Lucija. Thank you for the wonderful holiday we were sad to leave.
We had a wonderful stay at Villa Lucija from 8thā18th July 2025. The villa is absolutely stunning, immaculate, beautifully designed, and even better than the photos. The view is lovely, and the 4-minute airport transfer was a game changer!Inside, the villa is spacious and stylish with air conditioning in every room, though we often enjoyed the natural breeze and left the AC off during the day. I havenāt slept so well in years!The outdoor area is a highlight, the pool gets sun all day, the loungers are super comfy, and the jacuzzi section is a bonus. We loved the fully equipped outdoor kitchen and shaded dining area, which became our main hangout, especially in the evenings.Äilipi is peaceful yet convenient, with a great pizzeria and small supermarkets just a short walk away. We used Uber instead of renting a car, super easy and reliable, with trips to Cavtat (14) and Dubrovnik (32).Lucija, our host, was amazing, friendly, responsive, and thoughtful. She even brought us homemade pancakes and a delicious blueberry trifle. On our last day, with a late flight, she stored our bags and met us at the airport. Truly exceptional hospitality.We highly recommend Villa Lucija for anyone looking for a relaxing, luxurious Croatian escape. We made amazing memories and canāt wait to return!

Dear Gary, thank you so much for your wonderful review!
Weāre absolutely thrilled to hear that you had such an enjoyable and memorable stay at Villa Lucija. It means a lot to know that the villa exceeded your expectations and that you appreciated everything from the design and comfort to the outdoor amenities and peaceful location. We're especially glad you enjoyed the outdoor kitchen and jacuzzi ā and that you had such restful sleep!
It was a true pleasure hosting you, and Iām so happy you felt well taken care of. Iām glad the homemade pancakes and blueberry trifle were a hit! Thank you for being such kind and respectful guests ā we would love to welcome you back anytime.
Wishing you all the best until then!
Warm regards to whole your family,
Lucija & Stipica
The property is modern and beautifully presented with excellent living accommodation and views across the local countryside.
In addition to the inside living is a superb outside space offering a covered lounge and dining area and a magnificent further kitchen area where we enjoyed preparing two BBQs in the warmth of the evening sun.
The pool and jacuzzi complete this stunning outside facility.
The great holiday home is set in the delightful village of Cillipi only a few minutes drive from Dubrovnik airport, has a lovely pizzeria where we ate twice, a small supermarket and every Sunday between Easter and October they host a charming folklore event including music and dancing that is worth seeing.
The icing on the cake are the wonderful hosts who are onsite but whilst they give you total privacy they are on hand to help out with any query or support you may need. We have used VRBO a lot both in the UK and in mainland Europe but have never experienced hosts better than Lucija and Stipica - thank you!
Not surprisingly we would have no hesitation in recommending the villa to others!

Lucija & Stipica
We (family of 4) stayed for 10 nights at Villa Lucija in July 24. I would agree with all the points made by previous reviewers ā it is a modern spacious villa, with 3 good sized bedrooms (we didnāt have any teenage arguments on who gets which room!), very efficient air con system and great outside pool area. It is exactly as the pictures and previous reviews portray it.
The villa itself (or hosts Lucija and Stipica) canāt be faulted, so here are a couple of practical points.
If you want total peace and quiet, then the fact that Cilipi is only a few minutes drive from Dubrovnik airport means you wonāt get it because there is occasional noise from planes taking off/landing. It didnāt bother us but worth noting.
If you are hiring a car, then some of the roads in the area are very narrow, so be prepared for some close encounters with oncoming vehicles! Also Google hasnāt mapped Cilipi 100% so you donāt get street view for the Villa itself but there is no problem parking there.
Overall a great place to stay ā 10/10.
We loved our stay at Villa Lucija. Everything was as described and better. Well-appointed indoor and outdoor kitchen, modern, spotless. The outdoor space was perfect with an outdoor kitchen and fireplace. The pool was fantastic. Everything is so well maintained. The hosts were lovely. Lucija brought us homemade treats which were amazing. We really enjoyed the Sunday singing and dancing in the church square, you might recognize one of the singers... We drove to Dubrovnik, parked on the outskirts and took UBER to get closer to old town. The City of Cavtat was close by with many restaurants and pubs, shopping. Cilipi has a pub, a pizza place grocery store and small meat store, all within walking distance. We visited a beach a short drive away which was beautiful. The airport is very close which is great for arriving and departing, we heard the planes occasionally when we were outside, but did not hear them when we were inside, and they certainly didn't affect our stay at the beautiful villa. I would highly recommend Villa Lucija Cilipi.

Dear Elise,
thank you for your review. We really enjoyed meeting you all. Thank you for being such wonderful guests and taking care about the villa, we really appreciate it. Hope to see you again:)
We (family of four) stayed 11 nights in the apartment in Villa Lucija and we couldnāt fault a thing. I was initially apprehensive thinking we might not have much privacy (without having the full Villa) but I was proved completely wrong. We only ever saw our lovely hosts when we needed them or when they surprised us with lovely home made treats. The apartment itself was really spacious with three good size double rooms and was immaculate. Everything was just perfect, even down to the softest pool towels!!
We visited in the heatwave but it wasnāt a problem as there was AC in each room and the outdoor terrace had everything we needed⦠the pool, large shaded lounge/dining area, outdoor shower and a fully equipped outdoor kitchen.
It was only a very short walk to the local cafe bar, pizzeria and supermarket which were all great, but also a short drive to Cavtat which is one of the most beautiful places weāve been.
The photos of the property look lovely, but even they donāt do it justiceā¦. All so much nicer in reality. And with the kindest, most helpful and welcoming hosts, we hope to return again. Thank you again Lucija and Stipica ā¤ļø
