In the heart of the wonderful natural setting in Čilipi, the southernmost part of Croatia, Apartment Arkadia offers a holiday for those longing for peace. Our home was built a hundred years ago in the countryside located 10 minutes walking distance from the airport in Čilipi, 3 kilometres from the picturesque city of Cavtat, 20 kilometres from magnificent Dubrovnik and 1 kilometre from the sea (rocky beach for those who are familiar with this kind of scenery).
Here morning comes with birds singing and crickets chirping. We wanted this pastoral idyll to be shared because everyone needs time to spend in harmony with nature. Our apartment is a self-catering accommodation perfect for families and their friends.
We offer you:
- Three double bedrooms (possibility to separate beds in one of them) with balcony and view of the gardens. One bedroom is provided with a satellite TV. Bedrooms don't have air conditioning but are very pleasant for sleeping even in the heart of summer thanks to thick old stone walls. Just in case they are provided by ventilators.
- Private bathrooms with every room have showers while one of them is equipped with a big bathtub. They have free toiletries.
- Huge veranda/lounge- perfect for chilling inside.
- Another big living room next to the kitchen features a big satellite TV and air conditioning.
There is a big sofa that converts into double bed
- A full kitchen provided with refrigerator, dishwasher, oven, microwave, water kettle.
- Washing machine and facilities for ironing
- Everything you find in our garden you can use to make meals. Depending on the season you can enjoy a great variety of fruit (cherries, apples, pears, figs, strawberries) and vegetables (from potatoes, salads, spinach, carrots, tomatoes, to peppers and cucumbers). If you'd like, you can relax by gardening with us.
- A big parking place in front of the house.
- Terrace perfect for sunbathing among greenery and flowers.
- Children's playground can be improvised anywhere. The house is isolated from traffic so it is safe for children.
- Free WiFi.
Interaction with Guests
We are on the ground floor of the house. There are two entrances so everyone uses its own. If you need us we are there for you. We will share a parking place in front of the house. The terrace in front of the house, next to parking place is all yours. We all work a lot in summer so there is no time for sunbathing :)
