“Wonderful family-run B&B”

My best friend and I decided last minute to do a trip to the Krka Waterfalls in November 2015 and decided to stay the night at Vila Barbara. The apartment was fantastic, very comfortable (and warm, considering the chilly time of year!). Barbara and her husband were also fantastic in helping us deal with a public transportation issue. We needed to be back in Split the evening after our hike by a specific time (friend had to catch a flight) and having checked bus schedules online, expected to be jumping on a bus from the center of Skradin town back to Split. As we were settling our bill with Barbara, we casually mentioned our bus, and she was quick to note that, given the time of year and day, it was highly unlikely the bus would come to town. She was fast-thinking, made a few calls, and before we knew it, she and her husband were driving us up to the highway toll booth where they managed to get the bus driver to agree to stop for a second to let us on board. It was a wonderful, crazy adventure, and if it wasn't for this great couple, my friend would have missed her flight. Thank you Vila Barbara!

“Great views, good location.”

Booked this last minute as 2 others had cancelled/ miss-sold to us but in the end we think we ended up with the best apartment. Barbara and her mum are really nice people and were very proud of the furniture in the apartment as it came from Dubrovnic old town and (if we understood correctly) it came from her grand mother or great grandmother from the 1800's. Views from the balcony are probably some of the best in Mlini, and are amazing. The apartment we had (Spirit of past centuries) is fine but not over large. Bedroom is a good size but the furniture dominates the room as the bed is huuuuuge! There was a flat screen TV in the room but we never switched it on so we cannot comment on it. Furniture as stated is from the 1800's and quite large, with 2 wardrobes, an enormous double bed, side tables and dresser. Bathroom was a little small but adequate for what you need on holiday. Kitchen was a reasonable size, small (2 ring) stove (no oven) sink and fridge with a little freezer built in. Table with 3 chairs and a side table. A small hall linked the 3 rooms. Balcony was a good size (apartment is on top floor on right hand end looking outwards) and they are now separate from the other apartments balconies with a steel frame and a canvas screen stitched to this frame. The apartment is basic but the bed is very comfortable, the aircon works well and is very quiet. It could do with a freshen up (laminate floors had a few gaps that need tightening up, kitchen cupboard doors need adjusting, and bathroom tiles have a fair few cracks in the glaze) but it is very clean and perfectly adequate. Towels & linen changed weekly - though towels could be a little larger. Other apartments in the same building that are newer are a lot smarter so maybe these ones will be refurbished in the near future. The walk to the local beach is approx 1/4 mile down 111 steps through the local woodland (about 5 mins walk) to the beach by the Hotel Asteria. The opposite end of Mlini is about a mile and takes about 15 mins to walk. The walk back up the steps will get you fairly warm! so a cold shower when you get back is essential! We walked back late at night every night, the path is unlit so you need to let your eyes get good night vision if you dont pack a torch (we didn't) but the moonlight is adequate to see where you are going for 90% of thr route. Pros; reasonable price, clean, friendly owners ( they drove us to a restuarant one night & offered to drive us to supermarket) fantastic views across the bay, comfortable bed, good air con & WiFi. Cons; On outskirts of town and lots of steps to beach - so no good for infirm or unfit people. No local supermarkets or shops (Mlini is unusual in that there were almost NO shops at all?! strange!) Apartment a little tired in places (as mentioned above). Overall, we enjoyed our stay and if we came back to Mlini we would consider staying here again. This (in our opinion) is the nicer end of Mlini away from the main town & noisier bars.

Ficamos no Villa Barbara fora de Dubrovnik para três noites em uma visita auto-guiada de aluguer da Croácia. Foi um apartamento é simples e razoáveis na extremidade baixa de quartos que conhecemos as nossas necessidades básicas que incluiu a ser perto de uma praia e útil para o transporte público para Dubrovnik. O maior Hooey foi que nós vizinhos ruidosos em ambos os lados de nós com quem tivemos que dividir um pátio comum. Eles trouxeram um ao ar livre de televisão e com crianças pequenas que jogou bem alto até às 10h. A televisão começou novamente no início da manhã e devido às paredes finas entre as unidades soou como se fosse no nosso quarto. Teria sido melhor ter tido um quarto no andar superior com varanda privada. Villa Barbara fica ao lado de duas outras casas na periferia da cidade. Havia uma vista pacífica. Devido à falta de um caminho directo, a caminhada até a praia era quase uma milha. Os restaurantes mais próximos foram dois terços de uma milha; os restaurantes e compras em frente à praia foram um pouco mais de uma milha. O transporte público parou um terço de distância. O apartamento era simples, um pouco datado, faltam alguns detalhes convenientes, e no lado pequeno. Fomos desafiados a pé depois colocando dois duffels grandes no chão. Havia uma pequena mesa, organizador unidade na cabeceira, e peças sobresselentes cama [un-uma vez que nós dois, não três]. Houve um novo e inovador fogão, pia, combinação de um frigorífico na cozinha. Villa Barbara fornecida, panelas e utensílios suficientes; mas não foi apenas uma taça de cereais. Não havia toalhas de papel ou roupas de prato. O lixo só cesta foi o banheiro, que rapidamente preenchido com resíduos de cozinha. Havia um guarda-roupa para pendurar roupas, mas apenas três cabides. O nosso quarto tinha uma televisão de tela plana pequena televisão. O apartamento e a cozinha e a casa de banho foram todos muito limpos. A Internet funcionava bem. Houve uma falha de que Villa Barbara recuperou bem. O estabelecimento fica perto de ônibus #10 & 16 que o levam para a cidade. É aconselhável obter alguma ajuda com o horário de ônibus como tivemos dificuldade interpretar. Também é aconselhável determinar antecipadamente em Dubrovnik pode embarcar e desembarcar [eles não são necessariamente o mesmo lugar]. O nosso anfitrião foi simpática e prestativa. Ela nos disse que tudo foi localizado e respondeu a todas as perguntas que pedimos. Ela organizou para um táxi [que mostrou-se exactamente no tempo] para uma viagem rápida para o aeroporto. Enquanto em Mlini, caminhamos ao redor e observado o & localização de privacidade de vários apartamentos. Havia muitas propriedades com aspecto atraentes e se tivessem anunciado no Trip Advisor, Booking.com, ou o Google, que poderiam ter escolhido outro local. Centro de Mlini parecia especialmente agradável.
