Our stay at House Tereza in Zaton Mali was a wonderful experience. The unit itself was very comfortable and well appointed. Its location right on the water's edge of the bay was fabulous and proved to be an excellent base from which to explore Dubrovnik. Luko and his family made us feel very welcome and were always available if help or advice were needed. Luko picked us up from the airport, then helped our planning by offering suggestions about the best places and times to visit various attractions. He provided not only information and maps, but was available to transport us to the islands if we chose, or help arrange taxis if needed.

The city was easily accessible by bus (only a 10 min walk from the unit) and our location kept us away from the tourist hordes inhabiting the old city. Arriving back at House Tereza after a busy day in the town was an escape back to a peaceful and comfortable environment. All the attractions were easily accessible to us from visiting the old city itself to travelling and walking the many islands, to visiting other places of interest such as Cavtat, or the cable car with its wonderful views of the city and coastline.

Spending a day relaxing in the local area was also a great option. Exploring Zaton and the bay itself by walking along the water's edge discovering the character and the good choice of local restaurants and mini markets, most only a short and pleasant walk from the our unit

One highlight for us were the numerous snorkeling opportunities we could access. Luko helped us by suggesting the best spots to go. Off the islands particularly the water was very clear and there were many fish to see and the intriguing underwater landscapes etched into the limestone sea floor. The warm water meant that we didn't need our wet-suits, although the buoyancy of the Mediterranean water was a surprise.

Stayed here 13th to 20th July, 2013. Luko, the owner, picked us up at the airport and took us to the apartment. (He will take you back too). On the way he was a mine of information on the area and the recent history. Our apartment on the first floor was an air conditioned bedroom (including separate shower room / toilet) overlooking the bay and a separate reasonably well appointed kitchen (sole use) on the half landing. There is always hot water available and the cold water is very drinkable (and soft - wife's hair will testify to that). Clean towels are supplied and can be changed on request. There is free Wi-Fi available. The building is situated on the sea-edge, one can walk down a few steps from a common patio area onto a quayside (sun-beds situated here) and walk down steps on jump/dive into the very clean sea. There are small balconies outside where tables and chairs are set out to allow you to enjoy food/drink while taking in the lovely views. There are quite a few very nice restaurants within a 2 to 25 minute walk. There is a fairly well stocked supermarket a 10 minute walk away on the main road. The old town of Dubrovnik can be reached via bus (20 minute ride - stop a 10 minute walk) or "water taxi" (30 minute ride) and 20 minute walk around the bay at Zaton Ziliki. Luka and his family live in house a the rear and are always available to help. I could have stayed longer.

We stayed in the ground floor 1 bedroom apartment for 5 nights, the location is perfect,a covered terrace leads to a waterside jetty with sunbeds and crystal clear sea. The apartment is small, but well equipped & spotlessly clean. the owners are lovely, professional, friendly, & on hand if needed with good local info and help. I initially wanted to stay in dubrovnik old town, but am so pleased we didnt,its a great place to visit but its busy, hot, noisy & expensive,however the zaton area is only 8km away( feels a world away) just a perfect base to relax. there is a really good bus service, which is cheap & taxis are plentiful if you travel back late from dubrovnik( the owners son in law is also a taxi driver,so all options are covered). There are a couple of places to eat in and around the village one of which is a really friendly waterside bar and a 25/ 30 min walk around the beautiful bay leads you to zato veliki which has 3 really good restaurants. You can hire kayaks and take an island tour from this area. I would highly recommend this as a ideal base to enjoy dubrovnik or the islands.
