Upper Mlini

This is the area above the main road and is up a steep hill and a lot of steps. If you are interested in accommodation in Mlini, it is advisable to look on Google Maps to see exactly where it is situated. Bear in mind the further from the sea it is, the higher up the hill it will be.

Lower Mlini (Where Villa Fede is located)
