Really loved this place and the village was a reasonable walk away, 10 mins. Close to a supermarket and decent restaurant, 3-4 mins.
We had the very well equipped and spacious top floor two bed apartment. Amazing views and furnished to a high standard. You may even spot a superyacht.

Wow what a fantastic place.

The apartments are lovely, the pool area fantastic and the view amazing. 

We were 3 families with 6 adults and 6 kids aged 9 to 16. 

The apartments are in a block built into the hillside. The apartments are at the end of lane and have a private parking area. The studio is on the ground floor and has its own entrance from the parking area. The owner family live on the first floor of the block. The 2 2-bed apartments and 1 1-bed apartment share a common entrance on the second floor of the block. 

The apartments are all very clean, well decorated and furnished and spacious. They had everything we needed including air conditioning which was very welcome at the end of the very hot days. The beds were comfy and there were plenty of bathrooms. There were some nice touches such as white towelling dressing gowns and slippers /flip flops. 

You can't directly access the pool area from the apartments. You need to go down the steps of the apartment block to the parking area and then up a different set of steps to the pool area. This didn't cause us any problems. however our kids were old enough that we were happy to let them walk around the plot by themselves. 

The pool area is lovely. It is a really nice, good sized pool, lots of sun beds and sun umbrellas. There are flowers and plants around the pool area that make it very attractive and we spotted the occasional tortoise in the flower beds. The view from the pool is amazing. You look straight out into a bay with Cavtat beneath you and Dubrovnik in the distance. There is lots of activity in the bay with yachts and power boats and so lots to look at. 

There is a covered outdoor sitting area on the same level as the pool with sofas, chairs and benches. Great for late evening drinks and great views again. 

One quirk is that the owner family have an outdoor kitchen on the same level as the pool area and opposite the sitting area. Actually this was fine. The family were very discrete and used this for short times in the late morning and early afternoons. 

There is an outdoor table for 6 outside the shared entrance to the apartments that is in the shade at lunch time. We tended to eat there. 

It is lovely to stay in a villa that when it says you can walk to a village with bars and restaurants that you actually can. There are three bays below the villa that are all easily walkable to. You can walk down the road into the old port of Cavtat. It took 10 mins to walk down and 15 mins to walk back up. It is quite steep. The old port has lots of bars and restaurants and lots of posh boats dock here so lots of good people watching. To the left of the bay is Hotel Croatia where we had a good meal in their waterfront restaurant and drinks in the bar above. We also hired canoes and jet skis from Hotel Croatia which we really enjoyed. We canoed around the headland from Hotel Croatia to the other side of the hotel. There was a small reef and outcrop of rocks that we canoed to then swam and jumped off rocks. 

In the old port, there is a good ice cream shop that was good value (8 kuna an ice cream) at the bottom of the hill you need to walk up to get home. Good incentive to help kids and us climb the hill. 

You can also walk down through the trees from the villa parking area into the middle bay. This took about 6 mins down. In this bay is Hotel Cavtat and some nice restaurants over the bay. We actually had better food in the one immediately to left of where the track came out than we did in the busier ones in the old port. This bay feels more local. 

From this bay you can walk round the headland to the right into another bay with a large beach with sunbeds and an inflatable park in the sea. Was 40 kuna for 30 mins with lots of inflatables to climb, jump off and balance on. The kids and some of the adults really enjoyed this. You can also hire pedalos with slides, SUPs and canoes here. 

As you walk around the headland from the middle bay to the third, there are a number of wooden jetties and the kids enjoyed jumping off these into the sea. 

The headland from the Old Port into the middle bay also has a good walk around it with some little beaches, bars and restaurants on the way. On the top of this headland is a 1920s Art Deco mausoleum which is actually worth the climb to see and a chat with the nice man who sells the tickets to it. 

There are lots of boat trips you can do. We took the boat over to Dubrovnik which is a lovely way to arrive. The boat trips always took 50 mins even tho they say it is 35 mins. 

It is 25 mins to drive to Dubrovnik but very difficult to park. There is a bus from near the house to Dubrovnik as well. 

There is a small Supermarket 3 mins walk from house and 2 other small supermarkets in the old port. There is a large Konsum supermarket 15 mins drive along the main road to Duvrovnik. 

The villa is very near the airport. Literally 10 mins drive. However this also means you are under the flight path and the planes come down low over the pool as they descend to land. Actually this wasn't too bad. The planes seem to arrive in batches in mid morning and mid afternoon and so is not constant. 

Toni, who manages the bookings, was really helpful and friendly. He was very responsive whenever we needed anything (which wasn't often).

Great apartments, lovely pool area, amazing views

Our quoted price was in euros which, would, we were informed by the booking agent would be converted to the local currency at the time of payment. The elderly confused lady in charge couldn't speak English and insisted that the local currency that I should pay should   being the same amount as the quoted euros. It was a stand of and I reluctantly paid. I wasn't given a receipt on invoice. I felt ripped off. It worries me that this place had no name sign displayed and this review is only the second posted. Will it now disappeared to be relaunched with another name I wonder?

It's true that the apartment has a problem with its drains which are smelly and this wasn't helped due to the air con in our apartment not work. However the pool area is stunning and the elevated views across the bay are lovely. The [shortcut] footpath down to the town is though unlit woods and is steep. At night a torch and mosquito repellent  are essential if using this path.
Cavtat is a delight.

We felt ripped off

I was in Croatia for the first time as I was there to see my cousin get married. My partner and I had a incredible few days in split, travelling to Makarska and down to Dubrovnik and Cavat. The people we met were fabulous and we stayed in some beautiful apartments. We arrived in Cavtat on the night before the wedding and checked in to apartment Azur. All other apartments I had stayed at I received texts from the owners, not this place. The gentleman that greeted us was friendly and he took us into our room where we were due to stay for 5 nights. There was a questionable smell when entering and all the windows were open and there were countless air fresheners.  I was a little disappointed, for a 4 star property this left me underwhelmed. Our passports were not collected or photographed so procedures were not followed and we were given no emergency information
We went in to the beautiful town of Cavat for a meal as we were weary from travelling, on our return at 11.45 we opened the door to be greeted with an overwhelming smell of damp.
I tried to contact the phone number for the property that I found in booking.com but after trying for 15 minutes I rang booking.com. It was clear I was not able to stay there and had no way of contacting anyone, incredibly dangerous in my opinion if we had an emergency.
Booking.com advised me to book another hotel and move, it was now 12.30am. As many places are apartments it is not possible to book so we found a big hotel that we had specifically not booked into previously, however we had little choice. We packed up and found a taxi.
On arrival at this hotel they said the bookings don't come through after midnight! We were homeless for the night!
I can truly say I was so upset, I burst out crying and walked outside. I was due to be at my cousins wedding the following morning, it was ruined.
Luckily the receptionist at the hotel took pity and and came out to find us and let us have a room based on the email confirmation I had.
I then spent countless phone calls to booking.com the following days because I received an email stating I was a no show and that I was going to be charged a €600 cancellation fee.
I just stress that I have not once heard from the owners of Azur Apartmnts, have received no apology, only an email for €600!!!
I really really don't want anybody else to experience this this is why I am writing this review.  There are plenty of other stunning apartments in Cavtat that you can stay in that are far superior to this, and probably cheaper, better location and fantastic hosts. Don't stay here!!! Check out my other reviews to see.
I don't think it takes much for a simple apology, I am disgusted and disturbed that in an emergency situation anything could have happened, dangerous!!
