Villa Filaus is excellently located. Away from the crowds of the Old Town, yet the Old Town is very easily accessible either by getting the bus which is just a 2 min walk from the Villa, or it’s a pleasant 40 min walk, which I did often. The Villa is a few minutes walk from a lovely pebble beach where it’s possible to watch the setting sun. There’s a huge selection of places to eat, and while the main promenade which passes by the end of the street of Villa Filaus, can be a little touristy there are still some good places here & you can find many more choices away from this area with a little exploring. From the little beach or the end of the promenade you can find the walking trail around the coast of Babin Kuk which is a lovely walk. Lapad really is an ideal location for exploring the whole of Dubrovnik. Villa Filaus is immaculate whith a high standard of accommodation & service. As it is a Villa & not a Hotel there are no facilities, but the rooms do have fridges so you can keep snacks & drinks in your room. Breakfast is served in a restaurant behind the hotel, a very lovely walk through the Hotel garden, and no inconvenience at all. Anita the host at Villa Filaus went above and beyond to ensure my stay was enjoyable and to help in anyway she could. I would definitely stay here again, and would very happily recommend it to others.
