06/2007: Cavtat (pronounced ‘Tsavtat')
A delightful, laid back pretty little village about 12 miles from Dubrovnik set around 2 bays backed by a pine-covered hillside. The small square and waterside promenade is lined with attractive restaurants and the old part of the village is a maze of steep narrow streets leading up to an old stone mausoleum crowning the hill. Accommodation is mainly in unexceptional 1970s style package hotels but for the more independent traveller or couples I can thoroughly recommend the small but charming family-owned boutique-style Villa Pattiera which is right on the square in the heart of the village. Lovely, well-appointed room, my own private terrace overlooking the restaurants below and a great view of the sunset over the bay. The nearby church bells can be a bit noisy but didn’t wake me during the night (and I’m a light sleeper).
