“ Our three generational family has been to villa Mimosa three times. We will come again. The garden, the comfortable villa, the huge pool and great restaurants are of exceptional standard. Loved Dubrovnik, the nearby islands and the authentic Mediterranean Peljesac peninsula and the boat trips which were the highlight each time. Aircon and a large private parking space were a great bonus.

Gorgeous villa, short stroll the beach
“ Gorgeous villa a couple of minutes away from the beach and two outstanding harbour side restaurants. We stayed in Villa Mimosa in August 22 and had an amazing holiday. The villa is superbly equipped and has a fantastic, large pool and a beautiful garden. There was plenty of seating and space for six people and the second sofa in the large living room provided a comfortable extra double bed for two adults, so eight people can be accommodated without a problem. Part of the garden and terraces is tastefully fenced off so small children could not get to the pool without supervision. The focal point for all of us was a large outdoor dining table where we could eat all our meals. A wisteria canopy shaded the terraces which was always cool to relax in. All around the garden there were outdoor seats where we could sit and enjoy a quiet moment.
”
About location:
“ The villa is within easy reach of Dubrovnik, which is a must see, and we had an unforgettable trip in the speedboat to the nearby islands where we swam in a warm and clear sea. Sandy beach is within 5 min drive and in the nearby town of Ston we could do all our shopping and enjoy local food which was reasonably priced. It is a very historic area with great natural beauty. Our family loved it and will go again.

A beautiful traditional villa
“ A beautiful traditional villa with the most amazing garden/plants/outside area and pool. We loved the charm and rustic style which comes with a traditional style villa in a quiet coastal village. Lovely lounge area for evening relaxing, great bedrooms and bathrooms. Adequate kitchen facilities.
”
About location:
“ We were looking for a quiet and relaxing holiday which we found in Mali Ston and Villa Mimosa. A beautiful and peaceful residential location, with only a couple of restaurants : a car was definitely necessary to access local shops, more varied restaurant choices and other tourist spots. The local village beach is more of a toe-dipping spot, with a better Sandy beach a 10 min drive away. We loved the walk along the fortified walls which join Mali and Mali Ston, our day trip to Dubrovnik, and Boat trip to the National Park on Mljet.

“ The pool was wonderful on a hot day. Laida and Nigel made wonderful recommendations for things to do in the area - boat trips, beaches, grocery stores, and the amazing restaurant Gastro Mare, at that time only accessible by boat.
”
About location:
“ Having the historic village of Mali Ston a short walk away was part of our morning ritual. Cappuccinos and croissants on the terrace of the Ostrea Hotel. Mussel dinners at Kapetanova Kuca were also a highlight. Hiking the walls of the fortress from Mali Ston to Ston. Buying paintings from local artists in Ston. Going for runs along the paths between fields near Mali Ston.

“ I just wanted to thank you for our week in Mali Ston - it was excellent.
The villa, terrace, pool and gardens are lovely and the village and location just what we were looking for. The info pack had everything we needed and some of your beach/swimming tips were great, especially the secluded beach beyond Broce. Marushka was also super helpful.
The boat trip around the islands was very worthwhile and we all want to go back to Sipan island…! Please pass on to the boat company our special thanks to Frano who was a quality skipper and guide, especially on regional history.
So thanks again for introducing us to Croatia and your lovely Mimosa - and we’ll be in touch when we want to return.

A stunning villa in an equally wonderful location
“ Villa Mimosa is a stunning villa in an equally wonderful location, the beautiful, unspoilt seaside village of Mali Ston. It has been refurbished with great care, providing modern comfort and plenty of space while protecting its magical atmosphere.
Its outside areas are gems. The shaded terrace is a lovely spot in which to have meals or to sit, talk, read and relax. Its position is superb with great views of the surrounding landscape. You get a real sense of local atmosphere as the villa & its garden nestle on the outskirts of the village while also being totally private and blissfully quiet. The pool area was equally enjoyed by all the family, including children aged 3 to 8.
One of our happiest family holidays. I couldn't recommend Villa Mimosa enough. ”
About location:
“ There were lots of fun local trips - wineries, castle battlement walks, the historical salt pans, boating to local islands, great restaurants in the village and in nearby Ston, stunning coastline with both fun beaches and wild spots to swim from. Dubrovnik is a very easy day trip from this villa also. ”

The villa was beautiful and lived up to expectations.
“ The villa was beautiful and lived up to expectations. The setting is lovely as is the villa. The master bedroom has a great bed which I wanted to take home with me. We were a big family and a baby and we fitted in fine. We cooked in quite a bit and ate outside which was always delightful especially when we got our heads round the mosquitoes and how to get rid of them. We were in the pool daily but there are beautiful sandy beaches near by too. We had a fab holiday and really enjoyed getting to know Croatia. The house was air conditioned which made a huge difference at night. Thank you.
Maroushka was very lovely and helpful. The house was in beautiful condition when we arrived. ”

Response from Croatian Villa Holidays:
Liz, thanks for your feedback. Regarding the dishwasher; I tested it a few weeks after you were there and it was fine but I think the soap dispenser sometimes fails to open. Regarding local information we did send you an information pack several weeks before your departure which contained four pages of recommended restaurants, beaches and trips. There is also a drawer full of brochures and leaflets about local attractions in the villa. The villa manager tends to the pool and garden each morning but tries to be unobtrusive. But she is available to help if required.
A very comfortable house with a pool ...
“ A very comfortable house with a pool and various seating areas allowing for privacy if you want, in attractive surroundings, with one of the best restaurants in Croatia within about 200 yards and, for those who want to boat , the quay at Ston about a mile away. Wonderful. ”

Nice house with pretty gardens ...
“ Nice house with pretty gardens in quiet and peaceful Mali Ston. Our enjoyment of the pretty pool area and outside terrace was somewhat spoilt by the hungry mosquitos - we were bitten morning, afternoon and evening. Not sure if this is typical of this area of Croatia but we certainly didn't have problems elsewhere (we'd travelled from Zagreb down to Ston stopping off at the lakes, Zadar, Sibenik and Trogir on the way). Overall though we liked the house, and had an enjoyable stay. ”
About location:
“ Mali Ston is a great place to eat out if you like fish - but a bit of a challenge if not. Ston is only 15 mins walk away, or about an hour over the walls with the bonus of stunning views, and offered a slightly more varied eating experience. We loved Stagnum where the super friendly owner organised a lift home for us when we were caught in a thunderstorm. Top man.

Villa Mimosa is Delightful
“ Very well equipped and spacious it was a real home away from home. We were then in high summer but I'm sure the house would be equally suitable for an out-of-season break as the internal furnishings are much more comfortable than in many other villas. The pool area is lovely and catches the sun all day. The housekeeper is very friendly and helpful. Mali Ston is a quiet backwater, very picturesque, but in easy reach of Dubrovnik and other local sites. We had a great day's sailing (with a skipper) arranged via Croatian Villa Holidays and another day heading up the Orebic peninsula and over to Korcula. The walk over the walls to Ston is also well-worth the effort - we went early evening, when it was a little cooler, had a drink and a pizza in Ston, then walked back along the track that runs by the road back to Mali Ston. All in all, we would thoroughly recommend Villa Mimosa, and Croatian Villa Holidays. ”

I have to thank Nigel for his advice about using the car we loved driving around, excellent small and quaint towns, and little restaurants were perfect.
Suggestions about the restaurants were perfect. Very much recommendable.

Beautiful villa, authentic, wonderful vista pool and surrounding gardens
“ The Villa Mimosa was a real gem. Nestled in a quiet spot, yet just yards from the enchanting fort and port of Mali Ston. The amenities were excellent, 3 bathrooms, excellently equipped kitchen and airy 3 bedrooms.I would certainly recommend this villa. It is built in the traditional Croatian style, yet has all mod cons. The pool is large and is surrounded by an enchanted garden. ”
