Anita made our stay memorable, from our check-in to recommending restaurant's and areas to visit within Dubrovnik, including knowledge of Ston (Oyster's are incredible and a must try)!!

We spent three nights in villa Filaus , it was amazing and rewarding. Short walking distance to beach and seaside from hotel, we enjoy swimming and sunset! Lots of restaurants to choose for the excellent local cuisine. Take couple of minutes walking to bus station and 10 minutes you will be arriving Dubrovnik! We got three days pass and living like local ! Anita , thank you so much for helping us start our long waited journey to visit Dubrovnik!

Super
Very nice place. Easy to find. Walking distance from the bus stop. The place has been renovated and it’s awesome. The breakfast options are nice. You are giving two places to have breakfast. The first one is a 3 min walk (3 star hotel) or 15 min walk (5 star hotel).

The Villa was lovely. Beautiful modernization of a very old residence. No one was there to greet us and give check in information. To be fair, our ferry was late in getting into Dubrovnik, however, another person should have been tasked with reception.

My favorite part of our stay at Villa Filaus was definitely the manager/coordinator Anita. She was extremely informative, kind, helpful and simply a true gem of this place. The room was modern, very clean and pleasant. There is a supply of toiletries, an iron with ironing board, beach towels with a carrying bag. The mattress and pillows were extremely comfortable. The location was perfect, just a few steps to the main promenade and not far from the beach. Breakfast was included, the issue was that it is not on site, it is a short distance to a guesthouse called Aquarius. This restaurant was very dated and the food was rather poor quality. I wouldn't recommend the restaurant to anyone.

Totally recommend
Lovely oasis in the city. Receptionist very helpful, room a nice size with really comfy bed and pillows plus efficient a/c. As a villa, room service isn’t daily but a couple of times in the week was enough plus if you do need anything, they’ll put in an extra visit. Pool small but quiet and clean - plus you can go to the 5* sister hotel ‘More’ for full sized pool or sun bed terrace on the seafront which is lovely. Only thing not nice was the breakfast, at a nearby hotel - that wasn’t worth getting up for so we popped over to supermarket with its fresh bakery for continental with daily super fresh rolls and croissants - there’s a decent fridge in room. To be fair, I only mentioned this on penultimate day so no chance for them to rectify and receptionist was hugely apologetic however it wasn’t really a big deal and didn’t mar our stay. Location is convenient for a myriad bars and restaurants but not on main drag and is a 40 min walk from old town (or couple of mins on very frequent and late finishing bus route 6). Definitely woukd return.

Anita was very helpful and eager to assist. The room was very clean and beautifully decorated. Parking for our rental car was very convenient. Close to the promenade and restaurants. We enjoyed a lovely day at Hotel More and took full advantage of thier services. Bus stop is just round the corner so easy access to Dubrovnik Old City. The main downside was breakfast. Yiu are given token to use at hotel round the corner. I do not have problem with this. My issue was the quality and options for breakfast. Breakfast is in the basement in a very drab room overcrowded with large tables and chairs. You can sit outside but there is little shade. The pool area of the villa does not have any showers or changing area. The pool is tiny but perfect for plunging and cooling off. More could be made ofcthe gardens as they lovely but no furniture to make use of it. Overall a lovely stay.

Hotel by the promenade
This hotel may look far from the old city, but it is close to the most beautiful promenade I have ever seen! A short walk gets you to restaurants and beaches and a view to die for! Getting to the old city is a quick and inexpensive bus ride away. And Anita is the most gracious host who knows everything you will need to make your visit interesting and relaxing. And there is parking, which is an absolute must in Dubrovnik.

Villa Filaus is excellently located. Away from the crowds of the Old Town, yet the Old Town is very easily accessible either by getting the bus which is just a 2 min walk from the Villa, or it’s a pleasant 40 min walk, which I did often. The Villa is a few minutes walk from a lovely pebble beach where it’s possible to watch the setting sun. There’s a huge selection of places to eat, and while the main promenade which passes by the end of the street of Villa Filaus, can be a little touristy there are still some good places here & you can find many more choices away from this area with a little exploring. From the little beach or the end of the promenade you can find the walking trail around the coast of Babin Kuk which is a lovely walk. Lapad really is an ideal location for exploring the whole of Dubrovnik. Villa Filaus is immaculate whith a high standard of accommodation & service. As it is a Villa & not a Hotel there are no facilities, but the rooms do have fridges so you can keep snacks & drinks in your room. Breakfast is served in a restaurant behind the hotel, a very lovely walk through the Hotel garden, and no inconvenience at all. Anita the host at Villa Filaus went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable and to help in anyway she could. I would definitely stay here again, and would very happily recommend it to others.

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Filaus! The villa is beautiful, the staff is very friendly and incredibly helpful. When we arrived they had a map of the town ready for us, with bus information and must see activities marked right on it. It was our honeymoon and they went out of their way to leave us a beautiful note, bottle of wine and wine glasses in the room. The breakfast restaurant is right across the street and was delicious. A nice bonus to staying at the villa. There is a grocery store and bakery just across the street as well, we found that to be very convenient. The villa is in the perfect location. A quick walk to the boardwalk where there are so many restaurants and bars (more options than we were able to try!) Having access to the other Villa More that is right on the water was a huge bonus. We spent a day there, enjoying the sun and going for a swim and then had a delicious drink at the cave bar. We enjoyed how easy it was to get around and yet it was still quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the privacy that the villa offers, having a limited number of rooms and housekeeping kept to a minimum while you are staying. Supplies were always available when needed, but the room was ours to enjoy without interruption. Each room is equipped with a keyless entry system. It was very nice not to have to carry around a key every time you leave the room. Modern rooms, with large balconies, lots of space to relax while you're on vacation. Would highly recommend!

Villa Filaus is a lovely property, the rooms are huge and have everything you could want. it is managed by the excellent Anita who is a true gem, always ready with helpful recommendations of places to eat, visit or just relax. located perfectly in Lapad surrounded by resteraunts, bars and cafes just 2 mins walk away (literally)the old town is just 35-45 mins walk away with plenty of places to stop off and re charge if you like or you could catch the bus which is right on the door step

Bargain 5star stay.
Such a lovely room and all of it appeared to be brand new. Shower was amazing and spacious. Staff polite. Anita on reception was very friendly and full of good advice. She is a credit to the hotel chain and obviously loves her job The hotel is in the Lapad area within east reach of the local beach and many restaurants and cafe bars, and the marina for boat/ferry trips. It’s a good 40minute walk to Dubrovnik old town up and down some gentle hills. Stay here and catch the bus rather than pay extortionate Old Town prices

Fantastic updated rooms. There is no elevator. Anita the Villa manager was easily accessible by phone and email. It’s a 5 minute walk to lapad beach. And a 20 minute bus ride to the old town on bus 6. A great place to stay well worth the money. A grocery store is directly across the street.

If we come back to the Lapad area of Dubrovnik, we would definitely come back to stay here! Anita, the property manager, is so kind and helpful. She arranged for transport to the airport to the property. She took time to make sure we are familiar with the area and answered all our questions. The property is located in a great area near the prominade and pickup points for many day tours. The place was extremely clean, well appointed with all the amenities. The included breakfast is across the street near the property. There is a supermarket with a pastry store across the street too. Thanks again for the great experience and stay!

We initially got a room facing a parking lot in front of TOMMY supermarket. We had to stay the first night in that room as they did not have anything available that night. We asked for a room on the opposite side of the Villa that would face their garden. To our big surprise the owner (Robert) offered us what we wanted and even more: a free upgrade to a larger room with a balcony facing the garden. Thank ou Robert!

Charming destination in Dubrovnik!
Had a lovely one night stay. Loved the location—was a 40 min walk / 8 min Uber to Old Town and a 10 min walk to the beach, where there are plenty of bars and restaurants. Mara was lovely and let us store our bags after an early flight and was able to make the room available to us a bit early. Room was gorgeous and had a balcony. Plenty of amenities and super clean! (Only downside was the early 10am checkout.) Would absolutely stay again!

A perfect stay in an amazing small hotel
Villa Filaus is an outstanding place to stay - it’s an old Dubrovnik villa that has been restored to an amazing standard. Rooms are spacious, airy, bright, with balconies to enjoy a morning coffee in peace (cannot confirm that all rooms have a balcony, btw). It’s got coffee/tea-making facilities in the room to start you off in the morning. Breakfast is provided in a cafe across the road, and you can enjoy all the facilities available in the sister-hotel More as if you were their guest (swimming pools, spa, beach loungers....), that’s about 15-20 minures’ walk away from the villa. If you’re driving to Dubrovnik, the villa has its own private parking lot that you can use, which to us was perfect since driving in Dubrovnik is a bit of a faff, and there are cheaper options to get form A to B (certain well-known app service operates amazingly well in the city!). There is also a small cute plunge pool for hot summer days, which is, however, slightly exposed to outside of the perimeters so won’t be to everyone’s liking. For any questions and issues, Villa Filaus has amazing staff, particularly the manager Anita, who is simply amazing. I would totally recommend you book a room there.

Great stay in a lovely big newly renovated room. Really clean and great to be able to use the facilities at Hotel More just a short walk away, the sun loungers at the Cave Bar right next to the sea were fantastic. Lapad is a good base for Dubrovnik with the old city a short bus ride or £5 Uber journey away for sightseeing and then you can come back late afternoon and enjoy the sun in Lapad. The hotel is really close to lots of places to eat too, wish we had stayed longer! Thank you to Anita for great service.
