Location Overview
The location is wonderful - Zaton is a picturesque and charming little village in a bay, perfect for relaxing in the sunshine and swimming in the sea. It has little pebbly beaches and swimming spots, and plenty of pine trees for shade – it’s really pleasant to walk along the shore or just to sit in one of the little sea-front restaurants sipping a glass of local wine! The sea in Zaton is a particularly vivid colour and Zaton was a favourite of the old Dubrovnik aristocratic families who used to holiday there.

The villa is also only 15 minutes drive from the ancient walled city of Dubrovnik so if you get bored of lounging around the pool or bathing in the sea, and having fresh fish BBQs then you can sightsee, shop or eat in the stunning old town or take a trip to one of the nearby islands. There are regular buses to the old town from the bus stop just up the road, and boat hire from the harbour . Apparently a favourite with families that have stayed here you can get a boat to take you out to Kolocep Island - which is lovely for a picnic , sandy beach - no cars allowed and the clearest water.

Dubrovnik is the most well known destination on the Dubrovnik Riviera with its famous medieval walled town, but there are many other beautiful and interesting places worth a visit like Cavtat, Konavle, Mlini, the Elaphiti islands of Kolocep and Lopud, The Peljesac Peninsula, The Islands of Korcula and Mljet… Great food, stunning views and wonderful sea-side locations and beaches – this is a real gem.

Location Summary
• Sea: 5 minutes walk down to the sea edge in the bay (approx 290m)
• Beach: Zaton Beach is a 6 minute walk from the villa (approx 400m)
• Shop: Village has a small supermarket and a bakery
• Restaurants: approximately 12 open from June – Sept (1 is 300m away on the sea edge (approx 6 minutes walk) – beautiful location!), 2 open throughout the year within walking distance (more at the Sun Gardens resort)
• Bank: Dubrovnik but there is an ATM in the village
• Pharmacy: Dubrovnik
• Post Office, Tourist Office and Bus Stop: 250m
• Walking: lovely walks around the bay
