Villa Pomalo in Zaton
Villa Pomalo in Zaton Veliki Pomalo means to relax, no stress, slow down and it adequately describes this location. Villa Pomalo is a newly renovated three double bedroom villa that also has an additional loft bedroom. It has four full bathrooms (I tub and three showers) a fully fitted kitchen with dining area, lounge with flat screen TV and seating area. It has a private garden with swimming pool, BBQ area, pergola area with table and seating and a separate terrace area, it has private parking for three cars. It is idyllically situated just two minutes’ walk from the beautiful Zaton harbour with its marina and swimming area, and five minutes’ walk to the nearest beach. The harbour also has an abundance of excellent restaurants, a supermarket, post office, and a bus stop with buses into Dubrovnik and Lapad. Whilst only an approximate 20 minute drive to Dubrovnik and Lapad Zaton is peaceful and serene, away from the hustle and bustle in town. You can relax or take scenic walks through the pine forest to inaccessible beaches and wonderful cliff top views over the bay to Lapad and the many islands. Zaton is located within an approximate 35-minute drive to Dubrovnik airport, it is easy to get to and has accommodation and a location that are ideal for families and children.
Zaton is situated in a beautiful, natural bay surrounded by hills and only 8 kilometers northwest of Dubrovnik. This place can be reached by car or by boat only. It consists of two smaller villages/bays Veliki and Mali Zaton (Big Zaton and Small Zaton). Rich middle-class families living in Dubrovnik during the Ragusa Republic in the 15th century were already building their holiday or weekend houses in Zaton in the Renaissance style.In Zaton itself, there are a few small shops, a tourist information center, a couple of excellent seafood restaurants, bars, cafés, bakeries, and a post office. These 2 bays have several small, pebbled beaches. The most popular beach is located at the eastern end of the bay in the village of Stikovica.

Great stay!
We loved the accommodation and great location. 5min walk to the bay and restaurants
we used as a base and walked to local cafe and Uber to get about.
Great local restaurant right on the water front.
We got the end of the season so some restaurants and shops shutting down for winter.

Glorious residence!
Beautiful villa, just as described, in a quiet location close to several nice restaurants. Kitchen was very well-equipped and had everything we needed ( apart from an iron which would have been useful). Pool was small but perfect for cooling off. Martina was very responsive when we had a query.
We really enjoyed our stay and would recommend it.

Lovely and comfortable place for stay!
Zaton is a beautiful location, with lots of different restaurants and pristine sea water for swimming. It is a great location in terms of being away from the really overcrowded Dubrovnik but close enough to do a day trip there. You need a car if staying longer than a week as there is limited things to do once you have done the boat trips (worth doing 3 Islands). Eating out and grocery shopping is very expensive.

Special place!
Lovely property, just a few metres from the seafront, restaurants, bars and local shops. Set in a beautiful bay, but only about 5 miles from Dubrovnik. It was ideal for our party of seven, including our three year old grandson, who would have happily have spent the whole week in the pool. For us it was a mix of staying locally in Zaton, combined with trips to Dubrovnik, Mostar and the Kravica Waterfall in Bosnia and a boat trip to the island of Lopud. Martina was great, organising transfers to and from the airport and dealing promptly with any issues as they arose.

High-end vacation!
We had a very good week in the charming village of Zaton Veliki. Nice house that was well equipped. Close to beautiful swimming spots, stone beaches and nature. Pool in the garden which were really good. We got quick help when it needed to be cleaned. Several good restaurants in the village and close to the bus stop to get into Dubrovnik. The only thing that surprised us was the church bell that rang every morning at 7am but it was quite charming!

Great stay!
cannot fault the Villa or its location. The whole process of booking, location, door key code was was email or whattsapp. At my age l doubted its reliability but have to say, all went as smooth as silk. During the height of the summer l expect its perfect for tanning, chilling, and keeping cool.
communication is essential and Martina never let us down in that regard. Further instructions are inside the Villa for your perusal, just to clear up the minor points. Great stay. Great comms, lovely location.

Major-league holiday!
I was pleasantly surprised about the location of the house: just around the corner, just a few stepts from the house, you find the see! and some nice restaurants (which were not all open yet, as we were there in the beginning of May before the real start of the season), a beach (with pebbles). The see is amazingly blue, and all those fishes! with a nice 20 minute walk along the sea, you will find a supermarket.
The pool was small, but therefor also not cold, and more then enough for our kids. The house was spacious for our company of 8 (of which 2 kids).
Lots of things to do in the surroundings (Dubrovnik, renting a boat, visiting Bosnia (go to se ethe waterfalls!!) and Montenegro).
we really enjoyed our stay. And when we had questions (we needed to visit a hospital) we received a real quick response from the contact person.

Great spot. A block from the sea, lots of comfortable beds, and parking for two cars. This place has all the things you will need. A well equipped kitchen, nice living room and many bedrooms. Loved our stay.
Exceeded expectations. Fantastic location - just a minutes walk from restaurants, harbour and beach.

Lovely villa with pool and garden in a fab location with amazing views
Few minutes bus or car into beautiful Dubrovnik city
Just be aware that in Zaton many restaurants and shops start to close for the season if visiting in October
Plenty of wonderful restaurants still open in Dubrovnik though

A beautiful villa. It is stylish and clean inside and equipped with everything. The kitchen in particular is well stocked with everything you could need. The location is gorgeous, literally a minute from a beautiful harbour/small beach. We realised our boat trip to the islands picked up from Zaton too, saving a trip to Dubrovnik. Highly recommended!

Admirable and clean accommodation!
this is a beautiful house in a very tranquil setting. felt right and home and thoroughly enjoyed the house, pool and the little town.
just for information, there are church bells that ring starting at 7am, could see that as being important if you have children, etc.
There also must have been some miscommunication as the pool cleaner came twice during our stay (only 3 days) and bith times it was unannounced.
still very much recommend this house and the small town it is in!

Admirable and clean accommodation!
From the moment we booked until we departed Martina and team were extremely friendly and responsive. The villa was exactly as advertised times 10! Terrace and pool were well taken care of and maintained with gorgeous gardens! The entire property was immaculate and spacious with a touch of being home from home! Zaton is a slice of peaceful heaven with amazing views and the beautiful Adriatic sea to swim in and just a little bit away from the hussle and bustle of Debrovnik.
Can't recommend Villa Pomalo enough and can't wait to come back!

Brilliant service!
We couldn’t have been happier with our stay. Everything was perfect. The location is ideal, right by the sea with a handful of restaurants and a bakery within walking distance.
The outside space was beautiful, we loved the pool, the BBQ and the outside dining area. The garden is surrounded by lush plants and flowers and there is enough space to park a car.
The bedrooms were clean and tidy and comfortable. Two have balcony’s with lovely views of the area. We very much appreciated that they were all air conditioned on especially hot days.
We were supplied with enough clean towels for our 5 day stay. The kitchen was well equipped and there was a little supermarket 5min walk away.
We swam in the sea every day. It’s worth investing in jelly shoes because it’s quite rocky underfoot. The supermarket is quite limited so it’s worth bringing everything you need for the beach with you.
From the villa it’s a short taxi ride to the old town or the airport.
