Peljesac Peninsula , a place where sun, sea and stone create a perfect home for Plavac Mali , indigenous Dalmatian variety that brings out the best from the "barren land" and gives us "divine nectar." Marlais family, that drags roots from France, settled on the peninsula in the early 17th century, bringing with them the knowledge that every Frenchman has in its blood - how to make good wine.

Anton gave us a tour of the facility and we got to see how the wine goes from harvest to bottling at the this family owned establishment. Anton was so personable and proud of his product. We had the 3 wine tasting menu with 1 white and 2 reds. All were excellent. If I could figure out a way to ship them to the US I would have bought a few cases. The carob Sherry was insanely good. I definitely recommend a stop at this winery.

We toured the villa on a wine tour from Dubronick and fell in love with everything ... the views, wine, service, property and location. I mentioned to my husband that I really wish we could have planned to stay and he surprised me by rearranging our stay to end our vacation at this dreamy location! We can’t say enough about the staff, the service, the food, the wine , the property and attention to detail. You wish for something , they make it happen ! They orchestrated three amazing dinners for us including a wine cellar with candles and another outside watching the sunset on the sea with candles and twinkle lights . I can honestly tell you, We didn’t want to leave ever and I even had my husband extend our stay another day . The attention to detail is so noteworthy esp the personal attention every step of the way including the executive chef , Ante, meeting with us each morning to plan creative meals together! His creations are art and taste even better ! They make everything look easy and treat you like a king and queen . Marianne and her team are outstanding ! We stayed in the owners suite and I highly recommend that experience !!! Wow ... the views and detail are amazing ! Highly recommend it ! Lee Anderson the owner did everything right with his vision . The wine is spectacular and we can’t wait to have it represented in our wine room . We will never ever forget this experience and can’t wait to go back !! The views, smells , people and feeling we felt will be with us always ! Thank you team villa for breathing life back in our souls and feeling so at home in your beautiful villa! We are ready to come back already ... you will see us soon !

We stopped here for a tasting and were not disappointed. It is a family winery that makes top quality wines (and olive oil) without being pretentious. Left with multiple bottles of red wine and olive oil!

Although comparisons are made to The Great Wall of China this is a major exaggeration since at just over 4 miles they don't even match Hadrian's Wall at 73 miles long. That said, they are still well worth seeing. The walls stretch out over the hillside above Ston and it's possible to walk along a continuous length of them right over to the attractive little town of Mali Ston on the other side. Entry fee is 70 Kuna (£8.50) per adult which includes access to Fort Veliki Kastio. The latter is just a shell but provides a good lookout point. Options exist to walk around the walls overlooking Ston itself, a short but steep climb and descent which includes a few turrets or to take the very steep route over to Mali Ston (veer to the right if coming from Ston). We did both and can testify it's a good workout, especially if like us you walk it back over the wall from Mali Ston too! It is possible to return on a less arduous route by following a footpath which runs alongside the road between the towns but of course you don't get the views. There is a section of wall which has still to be restored and was off-limits at the time of our visit, as was Koruna Fortress at Mali Ston which had restoration work in progress. The path on the Mali Ston side between the walls and town is a bit rough and ready however I'd recommend sturdy footwear for the wall walk in any case. Apart from the exercise you can take in good views over Ston and it's salt flats (the salt was a large part of why the wall was built) and there are several nice restaurants in Mali Ston which is a picturesque little place to get refreshments. We spent around 5 hours exploring the walls, towns and having lunch in between. Take a camera, some water and enjoy the relative peace in comparison to Dubrovnik's more popular walls.

Amazing, high elevation scenic views, must see!! Beautiful old monastery and cemetery! (Also known as Our Lady of Angels.) Interesting, small museum inside. Good parking, tight driveway. Easy to get to, not far from Orebić's center. A highlight of our visit to the Peljesšac peninsula.

The bus service to Ston is not brilliant, we visited in May when the return bus leaves at 7pm. Even in a very attractive, charming little town it can be difficult to keep amused that long. We visited the very interesting museum which has a very pleasant and friendly curator, and walked past the salt pans to a little hamlet with a closed winery and a very good restaurant. We did not venture onto the walls, the steps of Dubrovnik are enough of a challenge but the photo used above suggests that maybe we should have tested our knees even more.
