The Dubrovnik Riviera/Islands region
Dubrovnik is the most well known destination of the Dalmatian Riviera with its famous medieval walled town, but there are many other beautiful and interesting places within easy reach by boat or bus.
Lokrum island, a UNESCO protected site, which houses the ruins of a former monastery and fort, plus a restaurant and plenty of secluded beaches, is a fifteen minute boat ride away from the Old Town harbour. Cavtat, a picturesque village, set around a harbour, is about 50 minutes boat ride from the old harbour or 20 minute bus drive. It has lots of harbour side cafes, rocky and pebble beaches, and pleasant, waterside walks. Elafiti islands are really a perfect getaway from city crowds. The most popular islands are Kolocep, Lopud and Šipan and are also the only inhabited islands. Daily departure from the old harbour or from Gruž harbour. Mljet Island is famous for its natural beauty and the west part is a National park. The park is definitely worth a trip. Daily departure from Gruž harbour. Peljesac Peninsula is well known for its wines. The whole peninsula is covered with dense evergreen and Mediterranean vegetation. On the way, stop at Ston, famous for its shellfish restaurants -the best in the region- which offer oysters as a speciality. A day trip not to be missed!
The Dubrovnik / Lapad area
Holidays in Dubrovnik might well be steeped in history, but this city has many faces. Whether you're looking for a seaside holiday, or a chic city break, summer holidays to Dubrovnik have got it all. Medieval houses, ancient palaces and churches rub shoulders with plate-clattering restaurants and buzzing bars. It's an exciting mix for your vacation. Holidays in Dubrovnik feature sightseeing, shopping and sunshine in equal measures. Visit age-old monasteries for a glimpse of bygone days. Wander the markets and chic boutiques looking for keepsakes and presents. Or simply lie on a sunbed at the beach and indulge in some serious sun-soaking. Your Dubrovnik holiday can be as laid-back or as upbeat as you like. Particularly at night. Whether you want a quiet candlelit dinner or dancing till dawn, you'll find something to suit your mood with travel to Dubrovnik.

Guestbook for The Citrus bay
"Citrus Bay apartment is situated above Lapad beach, we had wonderful views from the bedroom of the coast, with very clean and tasteful interior it was more than we expected. A stroll down the steps brought us to the beachfront, strip and local restaurants, and bus station. However with such a wonderful terrace with comfortable couches, dining table etc, we spent a very relaxing holiday there. Highly recommended. Thanks to Isabelle and Victor for a very professional service" Holi, September 2011
„We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik on our 1st visit to Croatia. We loved the Citrus bay apartment except the steps on the way back in the evening so we rented a moped which was perfect way to get around! Great restaurants, scenery, weather and lovely people. Cost always reasonable. Local wine and beer was surprisingly excellent! The cable car is a must do included the homeland war exhibition. We did not have time for trips to Montenegro and Mostar but will hopefully do next time!“ Kirsty, September 2011
„Had a wonderful stay at the Citrus bay apartment. Very spacious, clean and spectacular views. Terrace is huge bonus. Old town is amazing. Great atmosphere and great food. We took a boat from Palace hotel. It was brilliant day out and worth every penny. Cannot wait to come back.“ Dave & Sue, August 2011
"Thanks very much again for organising everything till to get us to the airport at short notice this morning - we arrived in perfect time for a smooth journey home. We will drop you another line for the visitor's book shortly on the fantastic two weeks we had at Citrus bay. Your attention to detail and help in the arrangements are much appreciated". Peter and Catherine, August 2011
" Thank you very much for your hospitality. We were not good guests from the beginning, we even come earlier than the check-in time was, supposing that our way will take us more time that it occur. But you always were so kind, nice, attentive and helpfull, and we are really happy to meet with your family..thank you. Our vacations in Citrus Bay apartment were wonderful, the apartment is really very nice & comfortable, and it has everything to enjoy & relax. Our children didn want to go home- they were impressed by jacuzzi, and a turtle in the garden... And we all loved to rest on the terrace... Upon arrival Victor provided us all possible information, so we feel ourselves like at home and knew where to go without long searchings and explore expeditions. I could recomend Citrus bay apartment for everyone who wants to relax away from crowds and be near everything that nesessary in the same time. The only one exception is the people with a very small babies on hands or in a strollers and elderly- becouse the steps will be difficult way for them. For our children about 4 & 6,5 it wasn't a problem. Family Rozhko, August 2011
" i want to say thanks for our vacation, couse Citrus Bay apartment is really wonderful and our thanks for Viktor- never before we didn't get so many usefull information upon arrival. Thank you for everything! Natalia, July-August 2011
„We spent 7 days at Citrus bay. First visit to Croatia- very impressed with scenery and wonderful food on offer. The apartment is very functional and met our expectations. All those steps were a bit of a pair, especially if we wanted to go back down for something! Butterfly services, Isabelle and Viktor are very helpful. We highly recommend them!“ John, June 2011
„ We had a fabulous time at Citrus bay! Views were spectacular and weather amazing. Viktor was very helpful. He organised a tour to Mostar which we highly recommend. We had our personal guide, Peter was very informative. We enjoyed the quiet of Lapad bay and the escape from the hustle & bustle of the Old town. Thank you for the great holiday“ Holly & her friends, May 2011
“We enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik very much and were very happy with the apartment and the service provided by yourselves. The Citrus bay apartment was spacious and well equipped, with the patio being one of its best features. We particularly appreciated the personal service provided by yourselves, with Viktor meeting us at the apartment and giving us local information and advice – this was very helpful. You mentioned the small maintenance problems we encountered – these really didn’t inconvenience us at all because you dealt with them so promptly. We are happy to recommend your services to anyone considering holidaying in Dubrovnik”. Rosemary, April 2011
" Our stay at the Citrus Bay apartment was magical. Sitting on the beautiful patio, drinking Croatian wine, and looking at the Adriatic was beyond what we expected. Victor and Isabelle were so helpful. Victor arranged for our transportation from the airport with Petar Vlasic, who we used extensively during our stay. Butterfly services made all of the arrangments for our excursions to Montenegro and the wine peninsula. The apartment is in a fabulous location for the view of Lapad.. Even though there are many steps down to the main street, it is not a difficult walk. Often we took the city bus to town and a taxi home. Tlhe kitchen has everything you would need to cook, although local bread, cheese, and fruit are all we prepared. Having a washer was a real plus, since we came with only carry-on for 2 weeks. I can't recommend Butterfly Services enough. The planning for our trip took more than a year and Isabelle was very attentive during that time. Victor took very good care of us. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay in your beautiful apartment - and city". Lynne October 2010
“Many thanks for following up our visit, which was uniformly fantastic. A day or two of (heavy) rain failed to dampen our immediate love for a beautiful, friendly and safe country. Citrus Bay is a lovely apartment, well situated to explore Dubrovnik and beyond - it was nice to have a parking spot, but the close proximity to the beach, a pedestrian street filled with restaurants and bars and an excellent bus service to Dubrovnik made this a luxury and not a necessity. The apartment and it's lovely terrace are well-described and easily accommodated my family of five. Self catering was easy, but with restaurants this nice why would you? Heartily recommended. A lovely apartment in a great location. Thanks once again! Gwynne, October 2010
“Dear Victor & Isabelle. We had a wonderful week. The Citrus bay apartment was great, the transfer taxi punctual and the information you kindly provided very helpful. It was particularly welcoming to be met by all three of you and made for a very friendly situation. One suggestion I could make would be to have an optional welcome pack of a few basics e.g. milk/water/bread /butter/tea/cheese to be paid for at the same time as the balance of the rental. This might be helpful for people arriving after the shops have shut. But a wonderful apartment and one we would recommend to friends. Richard & Frances, August 2010
"We all had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik - you live in a fantastic city. We travel as a family two or three times a year and our experience with you was the best so far. The Citrus bay accommodation was comfortable and very clean with everything we could have wished for, but it was the service you provided which made the difference between other holidays we have had. Your friendly and personal touch was greatly appreciated and your recommendations were spot on - we ate in all the restaurants you recommended and weren't disappointed. Transport to and from the apartment was faultless - even though we got slightly lost on the way to the villa (it made us realise we would never have found it on our own). Thank you for a fantastic holiday - we will definitely come to Croatia again”. Bill & family, July 2010
" We enjoyed our time in Croatia and had a good journey home. We liked Dubrovnik very much and Citrus bay was a very good choice for our stay there. Citrus bay's near-by and peaceful location was perfect for our family and the transportation facilities were very good. The apartment was comfortable and clean, the kitchen well-equipped and especially the terrace was fantastic. The information and the services we got were sufficient and e.g. the hints of the nearby Italian restaurant and the island of Lokrum were very useful. We will be in touch if/when planning a trip to DBV next time". Jani, July 2010
" We found the information on the Butterfly services website excellent, the photos, the description (rooms, equipment, etc) and the location of the apartment were all very helpful. Your answers to our emails were friendly and gave us the information we required. The booking procedure was easy to follow. It was very helpful being able to book our transfer to and from the airport through you with Peter who was polite and friendly. We were also grateful that you welcomed us on arrival at the apartment and that you had bought some essentials for us (milk etc) to keep us going until we got to the supermarket. The information you gave us of the local area, buses to catch to the old town, restaurants to eat at and tours to go on was very useful. (We still think the meal we had at the Taj Mahal restaurant in the 'old town' was the nicest meal of our trip! The apartment was clean, comfortable and had all we needed. The views were excellent, and the location was convenient to the beach, bus stop etc (once you got used to the 120 steps up the hill which was good exercise!). We left the apartment and Citrus Bay with the opinion that we had had a very relaxing, pleasant holiday, in a comfortable and clean apartment and met with very friendly and helpful people. We would have no hesitation in recommending Butterfly Services to our friends back in Melbourne. Now all we have to do is try to adjust to the cold wintery weather back here in Australia!" Debbie, June 2010
"Location was ideal for us, bus into the city was really easy but we had the local facilities too, once we had realised about the short cut that made the steps easy and James and Chloe had no problems with them, wouldn't want a buggy though on the steps. The apartment was really very clean and very comfortable, ideal for what we wanted. Your service was excellent, the information on the website we exactly reflective of what the apartment was. I will send out a recommendation on our local parents group. Thanks for all your help. Clare, May 2010
"Our holiday was very enjoyable ---your country is beautiful! The apartment Citrus bay was first class and in
the best situation---away from the crowded town. Hopefully we'll return some day---many thanks for all your assistance." Roger & Liz, October 2009
" We had a great time despite the weather, the only thing we would have done more of had the weather been better were boat trips to some of the islands. Regarding the accommodation Citrus bay, information and your services in general we could not fault it, the apartment had everything we needed and you and Viktor were very helpful and welcoming. A special mention also for the driver you arranged for our transfers, he was very informative and interesting, telling us about his personal experience of the siege of Dubrovnik and taking us to see some of the war damage on our way back to the airport. If we hear of anyone thinking of visiting Dubrovnik we will be sure to mention your services." Gordon, Carol & Kristina, October 2009
" We had a very pleasant stay at the Citrus Bay apartment. The location was perfect, the views were outstanding and it was very central for us to get around, at first we were concerned about the steps down to Lapad but they were fine. The apartment was very comfortable with great facilities, we could not have asked for more. It was spotlessly clean and it was great that the cleaner came in after our first week to change the beds and towels – we did not expect that and were very grateful. The information on the website was excellent, very good description and pictures of the property, we were not misled at all, it was excellent. The booking procedure was nice and simple and your prompt responses to information and requests was excellent. We were grateful to you for arranging the transfers to and from the airport and also grateful for the welcome pack at the apartment, that was very much appreciated. Your service in general was perfect, we would certainly book with you again and recommend the Citrus Bay to our friends and families We had a wonderful time and would like to thank you both for making it possible". Sandra, September 2009
"The Citrus bay: very clean; spacious; great balcony. Storage in bedroom 2 was limited. Overall the apartment was faultless. Information was very good - the 130 steps (no problem for us) may be useful for others to know. Butterfly service was very good and informative. Advice on local buses would help - avoid Saturday night to Dubrovnik! We had a great holiday - although we lost all our photos through a damaged memory card - we'll have to come back!" Stuart, August 2009
" We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and we really liked Croatia. The Citrus bay apartment was very nice, very light and comfortable, in a great location and was very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in. The only problem we found was that there was nowhere to put clothes in the smaller bedroom; it needs a wardrobe to put clothes in. The balcony was great to relax and eat in. The information we received and read on the website was correct and informative. The service from everybody was great and Viktor was very helpful with information about Dubrovnik and the surrounding area. We had a great holiday and would recommend you to anybody who was visiting Dubrovnik and needed an apartment." Annette & Ray, August 2009
" We had a wonderful time, but a long journey home. We thought that the apartment Citrus bay was excellent, well located, and clean and well equipped. It was just as advertised on the website. The information was very good. The advice on places to visit and restaurants was very good. Dubrovnik is beautiful and we also particularly like our trip out to Ston and Korcula; the landscape was stunning. I have never been to Croatia before and I think that it is a wonderful place with very friendly and helpful people. Your service was excellent, from the first e-mails through to the goodbye at Citrus Bay. Thank you for organizing the car hire, which was much better value that renting from England. I would certainly recommend Butterfly Services to friends." Tim. July 2009
" We are all back home safe and sound, had a great time in Croatia especially Dubrovnik, the apartment Citrus bay was great!! Thank you so much for everything!!" Jennifer, Kathryn, Janet and Andy, June 2009
