What an amazing property! We all felt so honored to stay in this beautiful villa - and kept wondering about it’s long history. It was perfect for a group of 12 (one couple had to sleep in twins)! So convenient to old town - and such a great view. The only tricky part is arriving and departing - lots of stairs to lug suitcases up and down, and Ubers/taxis need to drop off a half block up the street. The sidewalk is very narrow leading to the house. We would choose to stay there again - so lovely!

We loved the awesome views and relaxing on the patio for coffee every morning. There was plenty of space for our group. There are lots of stairs, but the extra steps just meant we got to eat more gelato! The location was great too - just a short walk or ride to everything we wanted to do. Our hosts were friendly and helpful even after checkout.

An incredible stay in Dubrovnik

This house is exactly as advertised! Lots of space for a large family or a group of friends. Really fun place to dip in the sea across the street and down a bunch of stairs… Not for young children, though. 10 minute walk to old town and a 20 minute walk to the pier with boats to take to the outlying islands. Lovely welcome from the house manager with instructions about everything in the home.

Perfect vacation location

This is a beautiful home with a lot of history. We were a group of 10 and were very comfortable with plenty of room. Only a 15 min walk to Old Town, a swimming spot right across the street ( a lot of stairs). Easy Uber stop two doors up by the bus stop/ flower shop. Eci the house manager was a lovely woman and always available if needed. I would highly recommend signing up for this one!!

EPIC HOUSE, PERFECT LOCATION, & MAGICAL PLACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!

This place was amazing and Dubrovnik is magical! We had nine of us and we fit perfectly with room to spare. Barry & Marijana, the hosts, have put their special touches to the house with art and decorations. It’s an old world feel, with the comforts of today: AC in every room, hot water in every bathroom, gas stove, microwave etc. We celebrated our kids graduations from college and my niece’s 21st birthday and made memories that will last a lifetime. The swimming hole and cove across the street, as well as the 3/4 mile (1k) walk to the old city makes this the ideal location. The views of the sea, and being raised above the street provide beauty and privacy. There are some stairs which may be an issue for some people, but no worries for us, as the whole city is full of them. I have to mention the bells from the convent above us, that went off for at least a minute daily at 6am, and continue hourly til evening. Fratellos Prosecco Bar is only 75 meters away and was our meeting spot to close out almost everyday! The smoked old-fashions, Mediterranean Negroni, and Aperol Spritzers were spectacular! How perfect! I would stay here again 10 out of 10 times!

Amazing Villa

We spent 4 nights in this remarkable property. The house and grounds are just beautiful. Beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect. My kids loved jumping from the rocks to the sea across the street. The kitchen was fully equipped and the check in was easy.

Beautiful Old World Villa in Dubrovnik

Our family of 6 adults recently stayed in this charming villa located within walking distance to the old town of Dubrovnik. The villa is very spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed our time relaxing on the large front porch that overlooks the Adriatic Sea. Our hostess was attentive to our questions and was very helpful in booking our boat excursion.

Rustic Villa with charm

We were a group of 4 couples, of which this villa accommodated very well. It's key location makes it easy to get to the old city, cafe's and restaurants. But we ventured further and getting Uber's was very easy. However as someone else mentioned. there is no driveway or place to get picked up/dropped off as the doorway is off of a busy street. So we used the flower shop on the corner as our pick up/drop off spot and this worked very well. Can't emphasize the number of stairs, which I would not discourage from booking as this home is lovely, spacious and has so much charm...Thank you Eci for greeting us and making us feel welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic villa close to Old Town Dubrovnik

Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids) had ample room to spread out and relax in a great location (~12 min. walk to Old Town). The rooms (bed, bath, kitchen) were clean, and the owner was very responsive. The location is great with one caveat - there is no parking - so it makes getting dropped off or picked up a little tricky but still manageable. Strongly recommend for large families.

A wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. We were two families traveling together, with 4 kids total (ages 8-13) and this was the perfect property for us. Close to the city, beautiful views of the sea, and enough room to make everyone comfortable and relaxed for the whole vacation. The hosts and owners were so helpful and attentive, communicating ahead of time with recommended restaurants and a boat charter. They met us at check-in, helped with our luggage and showed us around the property. The house was well-appointed, kitchen was so useful to have, and the views from the terrace were amazing. Definitely worth booking this property and enjoying the amazing city of Dubrovnik!

Girls holiday

We had the most amazing time in this incredible villa, Everything was perfect from start to finish. A 15 minute stroll to the ancient walls with breathtaking views. We bought a 3 day pass for entrance to walls and busses costing €45. Well worth it if you struggle with walking as it’s up hill coming home. Amazing restaurants recommended by the owner of the villa. We also hired a boat through Dubrovnik Boats for the day and explored the Elaphiti Islands and had lunch on Sipan Island, fabulous restaurant recommendation by skipper and it was incredible! Not to expensive at all. We could have easily spent another 4 days exploring there is so much to do! We had a full day before our flight home and used a company called Baggage and Smile Porter service to come and collect our luggage, they brought it down all the steps and took it away for €30, each case was €15 a day. We had a wonderful day relaxing on the beach. For another €45 they took the four of us to the airport! Absolutely amazing service! Highly recommend this incredible villa! Thank you from 8 very happy ladies x

One note - the bells from the church next door started at 6am and sometimes rang for three minutes. If you have young children or light sleepers this might be an issue. It wasn’t for us.

Simply Enchanting!

We fell in love with this beautiful, we’ll-equipped villa located just a 10 minute walk from Dubrovnik’s Pile Gate. Villa Philomemena accommodated our group of 7 women comfortably, offering all the space we could wish for over its three floors and two levels of outdoor terracing—did we mention it overlooks the Adriatic? Whether looking for a beach, a bus, groceries or restaurants, amenities abound. The walled city beckons, the sea sparkles, the food is delicious and the Villa is just enchanting. Who could ask for anything more? ( For the seniors among us, there are many levels and many stairs, but they just add to the charm!)
