I first stayed in Plat as a 10 year old, 40 years ago. We came to stay in Villa Samba as part of my 50th birthday travelling celebrations this year. I wanted to return to Croatia, which was Yugoslavia on my first visit, as I remember the friendliness of the people and the good food. We couldn't have wished for more from a location or accomodation. Anna and Nikola are such friendly owners and offered great advice on things to do in the area. They take real pride in their accomodation block. (And strangely I found out that Nikola may have been playing traditional music on my first visit in the now overgrown ruin of the Hotel Plat down on Plat beach). Reasons to come here: 1. Plat is close to the airport but you don't hear the planes. 2. The apartment we stayed in was immaculate with breathtaking views. 3. There is a bus route which goes right past the apartments just up on the main road. 4. Dubrovnik is just 15 mins away on the bus and worth a couple of trips to explore the beautiful town and don't forget a trip to Lokkrum island on a boat from Dubrovnik harbour. 5. The stunning harbour town of Cavtat is 15 mins in the opposite direction and worth a day spent there. 6. The traditional village of Cilipi is just past the airport and worth visiting on a Sunday morning to watch the performanace of the traditional dances in traditional costume. 7. We planned to visit Montenegro and Mostar, neither of which did we do, due to illness, but both trips are easily doable from this location. 8. Visit the river Gruda and spend a peaceful day walking the river, through the shadey woodland with perhaps a spot of lunch at Konoba Vinica Monkovic or Konavoski Dvori Eco Green Restuaurant. We ate at the latter and had a very tasty meal, not the biggest portion ever and a bit pricey but it was a beautiful setting and very good food. We hired a car, which we booked in the UK before we travelled, collected it at the airport and used it every day except when visiting Dubrovnik-it was easier to go in on the bus. I would not hesitate to recommend these apartments. We hope to visit again someday. Anna and Nikola, ”Hvala puno”....thanks for a great stay!
