Location was perfect for restaurants, bars and amenities with easy transport and plenty of shops. The pool and outside area was well kept and had a great view. The accommodation was very average and dated, and the cooking facilities were very poor and limited. I think it needs some updating but not too bad value for money. Also found the owner somewhat rude and abrupt.

Fairly easy to find. 15min down hill walk from beautiful beach area, shops and restaurants. Convenient bus stop location- easy to get to Old Town. Good wifi. The beds were not very comfortable and could upgrade pillows as well. Tv very small and tucked away behind closet. Could also upgraded towels. Ants all over floor. Nice to have a small pool on location. 5 min car ride to ferry.

Amazing view and very affordable, limited amenities but you get what you pay for. Overall very pleased with the place, the balconies are the highlight and apartment perfectly clean. Although you may need to buy extra stuff for the kitchen overall great place to stay, beautiful views and 5 mins away from bus that goes to the old town (or half hour walk) also near local shops and restaurants.

The view is fabulous if you chose one of the marina facing rooms.
Access from the road above is down a flight of around 30 plus steps. Access to the waterfront is down another 150 steps.
A price that you accept for a fabulous view.

Exactly what it says on the tin.
The villa was very nice, and the apartment had everuthing in it that was promised. Djuro was very quick and clear yo communicate with, and was very helpful for the duration of my trip. The villa is in a lovely location very close to a small supermarket and the best local beach.
I did ask about airport shuttles as it said on the hotel listing that they were offered by the villa, but unfortunately that was not the case.
The wifi did not work for the duration of my stay.
The aircon was fantastic, and kept the room nice and cool once it got to temperature. I was quite unhappy that there was a 10 euro per day charge for the aircon if you left it on during the day. This meant that every day i came back to a hot room which i then had to wait to cool down again.
The fridge-freezer was fantastic, the freezer section could freeze 4 1.5l water bottles overnight for me to keep cool during the day.
There were no bedside lamps, so you have to use a phone torch to get around at night.
I would recommend taking an extension cord, as there were not many plug sockets.
Overall, a lovely villa. Exactly what it says on the tin.

Never again
Unbelievable. The reality of this so called hotel don’t match the description at all. The manager/Owner is a scammer. First of all, this is not a hotel. It’s an old run down apartment. Very misleading descriptions.
There is no front desk, no airport shuttles, no daily housekeeping as described on the main amenities. There were ants everywhere as soon as we walked into the apartment. Air conditioning is only allowed to turn on when you’re inside the room. If you keep AC on when you’re not in the room, you will be charged 10 Euro per day. Many restrictions were unexpectedly put upon the guess to stay there.
No hair dryer in the room. One hairdryer is shared among all the guests in the apartment. No toilet papers in the room. You have to buy your own toilet papers from a Convenience stores or supermarket. Wi-Fi very poor signal. Bedsheet was very worn out and barely wrap around the mattress. The bedsheet looks like used by a homeless. The room was not cleaned at all. We found hair and dust everywhere on the floor and inside the drawers. Very disgusting. When we complaint to the Owner, he came in and kicked the hair & thick dusts to a corner & under the bed.
That place was so filthy & unbearable to stay that we decided to call Hotel.com to file a complaint to cancel our stay & then to look for another hotel to stay for the 5 days in Dubrovnik.

Det var problem när vi skulle checka in men det löste sig snabbt. Städningen kunde ha varit bättre och det hade varit skönt om ACn fungerade under vår vistelse men det gjorde den inte även fast en reparatör kom dit men vi fick iaf en extra fläkt. Utsikten från balkongen var underbar och i området fanns det många restauranger inom 10-15 min gångavstånd, livsmedelsbutik låg ca 5 min ifrån. Till stranden tog det ca15 min så läget var super bra och lugnt å skönt. Poolen var perfekt!
Rauhallinen sijainti. Bussilla pääsi hyvin liikkumaan, mutta melkoinen kiipeäminen kapeaa kujaa pitkin majoituspaikkaan.

Muuten ihan hyvä mutta vaikea saapua koska on korkealla ja paljon rappusia. Omalla autolla ei kannata edes haaveilla saapua koska ei ole parkkipaikkaa. Lähimmät kaupat myös suht kaukana. Myös miinus oli että 7 yön lomaa varten oli annettu vain 1.5 rullaa vessapaperia.
Maisema oli hyvä ja oli hyvä koska oli rauhallinen paikka.

The owner of the property claimed we didnt have a reservation, and was not in site to let us in.
The shower in particular is awful the curtain rod slips off the uneven walls with ease, and the curtain itself is too short. The design of the apartment is embarrassingly bad, considering how new the house is.

Nice view. Nice pool. Room is simpler. Access is by stairs.
Parking in the street.
Cleaning is the negative part. In 3 days no room service.
But would stay again. Convenient location. And the view surpasses all small issues.

Je ne conseillerai pas cet endroit.
Belle vue. Idéalement situé. Pour le reste cela laisse à désirer...confort rudimentaire, juste le strict minimum en terme de meuble, ustensile de cuisine et salle de bain horrible. (Pas de table de chevet, drap et serviettes de toilettes usés et a minima, miroir de sdb trop haut...) Maison tres mal insonorisée on entend les voisins entrer et sortir, parler..
Egen e-post utveksling vedr innsjekking ble gjennomført i forkant av innsjekk - allikevel var ingen tilstede - måtte følgelig ringe og vente på innsjekk. Så heller ingen personnale ila oppholdet.
Grei leilighet med SUPER utsikt, men også MEGET enkel komfort -
f eks mangler leselys ved sengen, og WIFI hadde dårlig hastighet
og var upålitlig.
Setter spørsmålstegn ved sikkerheten med å ha stikkontakt
inne i dusjsonen ???
Fint basseng på utsiden av huset
Ca 2,8 km til Stari Grad Dubrovnik, men et godt busstilbud er tilgjengelig

This villa is set in a ideal location if you are looking for somewhere out if the old town. Bus stop is a few minutes walk and there are lots of places to eat and drink near by. Stunning views from the balcony. Property could do with a few small updates. Would I recommend this property definitely yes. Would I go back to this property definitely yes.
Compared to some UK hotels, you may think the decor is dated. I feel this adds to its charm and authenticity.
The owner Djugo is very welcoming and always happy to help with any questions.
Our balcony extended around two sides, with views over the pool and the port of Gruz. You could only access it via the master bedroom and it could be locked, which is a bonus for families with younger children. Those with older children can watch them in the pool from the balcony.
Loved the pool. Weather was changeable this time, so didnt get to use it as much.
Stunnng views, but like many properties in the area, it is on a hill. Those with mobility issues would not cope.
This was our 2nd stay here and we feel it is good value for money, both for couples and families.
