A luxurious two-bedroom estate for four, Villa Emilija is tucked away in one of the most fragrant villages of Croatia. A treasure trove of restaurants and seaside attractions, it’s set in charming Mlini, located 11km southeast of Dubrovnik.
An amble from a pristine local beach, this sleek, inviting villa is a cocoon of solitude and calm. Boasting contemporary designs and elegant rooms, it greets you with soothing, white-washed décor and a sprawling outdoor garden that remains one of its biggest draws. Bask outside on the private manicured sun deck, flanked by rolling hills and lush foliage. A glimmering plunge pool is all to yourself, along with a wealth of modern facilities that ensure a pleasant stay. Pamper yourself with a rejuvenating massage under teeming parasols. Dig into al-fresco meals out in the gazebo or sizzle up the BBQ on wintery evenings. Cosy sun loungers and basket swings make for a comfortable siesta by the pool, while the property oozes a relaxing ambience throughout the day.
Inside, all rooms are adorned with soothing, natural hues. Elegant fixtures and snug furnishings radiate a gratifying synergy of style and serenity.

You’ll find modern elements around the house, including an airy, open-plan kitchen equipped with a refrigerator, toaster, stove, coffee maker, microwave and wine cabinet. You can even hire a private chef to whip up aromatic Croatian delicacies. Watch the kids take a refreshing dip in the pool as you settle down for an intimate meal in the 6-seater indoor dining area.
Both bedrooms are spacious and minimalistic, with dewy, white walls and neat flooring. Each comfortably accommodates two guests, providing king-size beds with elegant en-suite bathrooms. Glass windows overlook the pool, promising a restful night’s sleep. An additional shared washroom with a sofa-sleeper is available in the living room.

We’d definitely look to stay here again
We stayed in this beautiful villa for a week with our two young boys. It’s a bit out of town but so worth it for the seclusion and privacy the property offers. It was really well equipped with everything we needed and Mihaela and Ines were great hosts - providing us with food and drinks on arrival, and great recommendations for places to go and restaurants to eat at. Dubrovnik and Cavtat are both 15 mins away and Srebreno beach (our favourite we visited) was just 5 mins away.

Definitely a recommendation!
Exactly as described in the listing, or better. The kitchen was better equipped than the one at my home. The house and owner has provided everything that was necessary or requested! Very comfortable bed and sofa. The pool was cleaned every day!
-
Highly recommend
Stunning place outside Mlini. 20min drive from the hustle and bustle in Dubrovnik. Very new, clean and modern. Epic mountain view nestled in the Croatian countryside. We stayed here while we got Married in the city, it was the perfect place!! Michaels was very welcoming and accommodating.

A wonderful stay!
Well what can I say?.. This villa is absolutely stunning! Really spacious, modern and beautifully designed. Very peaceful surroundings among the mountains, olive, fig, lemon and lime trees.
Mihaela made us feel really welcome and gave us tips on the best places to go. Yes it’s a little far away from the old town but it’s so quick and easy to get a taxi to anywhere you want, and there’s a shop, bakery etc nearby too.
We loved having a peaceful place by the pool during the day - and then grabbing a short taxi ride to the old town, Mlini or Cavtat for food and fun in the evenings - all incredible places with beautiful sunset beach/sea views, lovely restaurants and bars.
We all booked a 60-min massage at the villa through Mihaela with magic hands Ivan! It really was the best massage any of us have ever had - so good that we booked him for a second massage later the same week.
We had such an amazing, relaxing stay here. If you’re thinking about booking then definitely go for it - this was one of the best holidays we’ve had.

What an amazing stay here!
We had a whole week to ourselves which was a lovely time to relax around the pool with friends and setting up BBQ dinners in the evening. It is only 15 minutes car ride to Dubrovnik and a great location to drive to other areas such as Ston and Cavtat. Mostar and Kotor if you fancy a drive to other countries are also only a couple of hours drive away.
-
Amazing place!
We loved every second of our stay. The place had everything you could need and was so clean and well kept.More of a rural location and very private but Travelling into the city was super easy and taxis were readily available. It was nice to have a little escape from the busy crowds.There were plenty of beautiful beaches either a walk or taxi ride away. 100% recommend this place for a group or couple !
-
I would 100% recommend to anyone!
This place is a dream! It was so much more than we expected. The area is very quiet so it was nice and relaxing to come back to after exploring Dubrovnik city. The way the house has been built has meant that the outside area gets sunlight all day, it was perfect! Dubrovnik old town is about 15 minute drive, it’s very quick and easy to get a taxi to and from the city!
The house itself was immaculate, two big lovely bedrooms with en-suites and a big open plan kitchen fully stocked with all the utensils you might need and a relaxing lounge space with a big TV! Mihaela was very welcoming and gave us all the top tips and locations we might want to explore.
