Apartments Cakelic

We really enjoyed our stay at Apartments Cakelic. It is located at the main road that runs through Mlini, a small village roughly in between Dubrovnik and the airport (DBV in Čilipi). Mind you this is a busy road and you have to cross it if you want to go to the beach. The road runs through the hills and it is quite a climb up and down to reach the beach promenade. Because of the busy road (many stretches without footpath) and the climb (200 steps) I would not recommend this location for the less-abled or if you travel with little children. This was a self-catering holiday and we were lucky to get appartment 5 which is probably the best as it includes a full-size jacuzzi (we did not expect that at all)! We book flight + accomodation with EasyJet Holidays. The building is new and very clean. App. 5 was very spacious. It featured a combined kitchen / living area, bedroom, toilet + shower and a large terrace. There is a flatscreen satellite TV on the wall. Kitchen comes with a fridge, hob and microwave (plenty of utensils and crockery available). There is space on the terrace for the afore mentioned hot-tub + 2 deckchairs + table with chairs and a clothes drying rack. The beds were firm and comfortable. The aircon worked fine and is quiet. Although close to the road there is little road noise with the windows closed as they are double glazed. Housekeeping was adequate. The bus stops for Dubrovnik old town and Cavtat (& other villages) are within 100m from the house. There usually is a bus to Dubrovnik every half hour (once we had to wait 50 minutes). The owners Mr & Mrs Cakelic are very pleasent and speak good basic English. All in all a good place to stay if you're on a budget and want to combine Dubrovnik with a quiet beach holiday. Note not all rooms will be as spacious as app. 5.
