Home description

The apartment is bright and airy and has exposed stone walls and original oak-beamed ceilings. There is plenty of room for up to six people to stay: a master bedroom with a spacious en suite shower room and walk-in wardrobe; a further double bedroom, and single bedroom with truckle beds (one of these only suitable for children), plus the master bathroom, with bath and shower. There is a large kitchen, dining and living space, with everything you need for self-catering, entertaining and relaxing.

The Dubrovnik Riviera/Islands region

Dubrovnik's historic walled city is unrivalled for its beauty. Its climate is very mild - hot in summer and warm in spring and autumn. There are numerous places to visit within walking distance of the apartment within the Old Town - activities include the walk around the city walls, the Rector's Palace, numerous churches and cathedrals and the pretty harbour. There are also many islands, beaches and pretty seaside villages within easy reach by boat, or you can take a longer road trip to the nearby Peljesac Peninsula.

Lokrum island, a UNESCO protected site, which houses the ruins of a former monastery and fort, plus a restaurant and plenty of secluded beaches, is a fifteen minute boat ride away - take the boat from the Old Town harbour.

Cavtat, a picturesque village, set around a harbour, is about 50 minutes boat ride from the harbour. It has lots of harbourside cafes, rocky and pebble beaches, and pleasant, waterside walks.

The Elafiti islands are great for day trips - take a boat from the old harbour.

Dubrovnik / Dubrovnik Old Town area

The city's pebble and sand beach is a 10 minute stroll from the apartment. In high season, the beach is split into two: one side has sunbeds and parasols (which you pay for), the other side has no such facilities, but is free. There is a smart beach bar and restaurant, with toilets and beachside shower. There are other beaches within easy reach - just 10 minutes away, either by local boat or bus. Full details are available in the apartment.

Don't miss: the city walls, a wander around the winding streets of the old city, Lokrum island, Cavtat, the Elafiti islands and the Peljesac Peninsula. There's a buzzing nightlife in Dubrovnik, with live music, folk bands and open air cafes and restaurants. Our apartment is near to all of this, but tucked away in a quiet side street, so you can enjoy all the buzz then retire for a good long sleep... undisturbed.

How to get there

There are many ways to get to Dubrovnik Old Town. The easiest way is to fly into Dubrovnik airport, which is about a 20 minute drive away. There are many airlines that go there, including British Airways and Croatia Airlines. You could also arrive by ferry into Dubrovnik, arriving from Italy and other destinations. Or, you can drive down from other parts of Europe! Car hire companies are plentiful in and around the Old Town - all offering cars of various sizes for good prices.

We can also arrange a driver to pick you up from the airport - and he's also available for day trips too. His prices are very reasonable but he's got a Merc!

Dubrovnik International airport is a scenic, 20 minute drive away. Scheduled flights are met by a local bus to the Old Town for around £3.50, or you can take a taxi from the airport, which costs around £20 to the Old Town. The nearest port is Gruz (Dubrovnik's modern harbour), and you can take boats to many of Croatia's islands and Bari, in Italy. Gruz is a short taxi/bus ride from the Old Town. If much of your visit is to be spent in and around Dubrovnik, you will not need to hire a car.
