This charming apartment-style accommodation strikes the perfect balance between homely comfort and vacation luxury, situated just a short distance from Dubrovnik’s historic Old Town—a UNESCO World Heritage site. Perched on the hillside area of Gornji Kono, guests enjoy breathtaking panoramic views of the Adriatic Sea and the terracotta rooftops that have made Dubrovnik famous as the “Pearl of the Adriatic.” The property’s elevated position provides a peaceful retreat from the bustling tourist center while remaining conveniently accessible to all of Dubrovnik’s major attractions.

Despite its modest three-star classification, Apartment Iris delivers an experience that rivals many higher-category accommodations through its attention to detail and personalized service approach.

What truly distinguishes Apartment Iris is its ability to provide an authentic Croatian living experience while maintaining proximity to Dubrovnik’s cultural treasures. From Gornji Kono, guests can easily access the 16th-century stone walls encircling the Old Town, the bustling Stradun promenade, and landmarks featured in the popular series Game of Thrones. After days spent exploring cobblestone streets, swimming at nearby beaches like Banje or Lapad, or taking a cable car to Mount Srđ for sunset views, Apartment Iris welcomes visitors back to a tranquil sanctuary. The property’s exceptional rating speaks to countless satisfied guests who have discovered this hidden gem in Dubrovnik—a place where attentive service, comfortable accommodations, and an ideal location converge to create memorable Mediterranean vacations.

    What could be improved: Nothing

  • Sascha from Australia – 7 October 2024 (10/10)

    This apartment is unbelievable with the most stunning views. Everything was well equipped, bedding configuration is great for a group or family & it was pristine clean.
    Our host Iris was beautiful with prompt responses & very attentive to our needs when required.

    What could be improved: Access to the property with a car was tricky but not an issue for us as we only dropped off our luggage & returned the rental car immediately. Iris arranged a driver to take us to the airport which was much simpler.

  • Allyson from United Kingdom – 4 October 2024 (10/10)

    Had everything you needed

    What could be improved: Great view lots of steps to the old city

  • Madeleine from Australia – 3 October 2024 (10/10)

    Everything was wonderful, thank you so much. It exceeded our expectations. The apartment was spacious, incredibly clean and the view was wonderful. Thank you so much.

    What could be improved: We really do think you thought of everything! Thank you.

  • Dawn from United Kingdom – 30 September 2024 (10/10)

    Nothing to dislike, everything was perfect. Waking up to this view and watching the sun set over the Old Town was priceless. Yes, there's a million steps to get up to the appartment but Dubrovnik is full of a million steps. If you don't like steps, find another location, if you don't mind them, this appartment is perfect!

  • Sinead from Australia – 14 August 2024 (10/10)

    The view was amazing! Iris was amazing to deal and organised a pick up from the airport for us, and would have to be the cleanest apartment we have stayed in with the best shower of our trip so far. Kitchen had everything we needed and Iris provided so much helpful info for exploring. I would happily stay again and recommend to family and friends

  • Daniela from Czech Republic – 6 August 2024 (9/10)

    The apartment is located on a hill with a beautiful view of the sea and the entire Old Town of Dubrovnik. It is located in a quiet residential area surrounded by greenery. Our apartment had a large balcony with comfortable seating, three small bedrooms, a spacious living room and a dining area. It was fully furnished, tastefully decorated, clean and quiet. Also the owner Iris was helpful in everything and always gave us good advice. We were really very satisfied!

    What could be improved: This housing cannot be recommended to older people or people with mobility problems, because the apartment is located high above the city on a hill, so the way from the city center is quite physically demanding and you have to go up long stairs. On the other hand, it is possible to take a taxi up.

  • Greta from United Kingdom – 3 August 2024 (10/10)

    The apartment is located on the hill, so the views are absolutely gorgeous. The flat was clean, spacious and had everything you need. Our host Iris was very welcoming and friendly.

  • Nicola from United Kingdom – 25 July 2024 (10/10)

    Stunning view.
    Amazing air conditioning.
    Extremely well equipped.
    Exceptionally clean.
    Could not fault it.
    Very friendly and helpful host.
