Hotel Description
Nestled in the heart of Dubrovnik’s historic Old Town, the four-star Apartment Ivo offers an exceptional blend of luxury, comfort, and authentic Croatian charm. Boasting an impressive guest rating of 9.2, this highly acclaimed accommodation stands as a testament to exceptional hospitality and attention to detail. Located on the picturesque Vetranićeva ulica, Apartment Ivo provides guests with the rare opportunity to stay within the ancient city walls that have earned Dubrovnik its UNESCO World Heritage status. This privileged address places you mere steps away from the city’s most iconic attractions, including the majestic Stradun promenade, the historic Rector’s Palace, and the stunning Dubrovnik Cathedral. As you step outside the apartment’s door, you’ll find yourself immediately immersed in the limestone-paved streets that have witnessed centuries of Mediterranean history.
Apartment Ivo distinguishes itself not only through its prime location but also through its commitment to providing a superior guest experience, as evidenced by its exceptional 9.2 rating. Each living space within the property has been thoughtfully designed to harmonize modern comforts with the traditional architectural elements that define Dubrovnik’s Old Town. Guests consistently praise the immaculate cleanliness, attentive service, and authentic ambiance that Apartment Ivo cultivates. The property serves as an ideal retreat after days spent exploring the nearby azure waters of the Adriatic Sea, accessible via a short walk to Banje Beach or the hidden cove of Buža. For those seeking cultural immersion, the apartment’s central positioning provides easy access to local restaurants serving fresh Dalmatian cuisine, boutique shops offering handcrafted souvenirs, and cultural venues hosting performances throughout the summer months. The proximity to the city walls allows guests to beat the crowds with early morning or evening strolls along these historic fortifications, capturing breathtaking views of terracotta rooftops contrasting against the brilliant blue sea.
What truly sets Apartment Ivo apart, however, is its ability to offer a genuine slice of Dubrovnik life within the comforts of a four-star establishment. Unlike larger hotels outside the Old Town that require daily commutes to the historic center, this apartment places you at the very heart of Dubrovnik’s living history. The sounds of church bells, the aromas of local cuisine, and the gentle hum of city life create an immersive atmosphere that cannot be replicated elsewhere. Despite its central location, the apartment provides a peaceful sanctuary when you wish to retreat from the bustle of tourist activity. With its stellar rating reflecting countless positive guest experiences, Apartment Ivo represents more than just accommodation—it offers a doorway to authentic Dubrovnik living, combining the privacy and independence of apartment-style lodging with the quality standards expected of a four-star establishment. Whether you’re planning to explore Game of Thrones filming locations, embark on island-hopping adventures from the nearby port, or simply soak in the centuries-old atmosphere of one of Europe’s most beautiful cities, Apartment Ivo provides the perfect base for your Croatian coastal adventure.

Reviews
Annemarie from Australia – 23 October 2024 (8/10)
Right in the heart of everything in old city. Access was excellent to restaurants and attractions. A comfortable apartment with most things available . Well set up for mobile people.
What could be improved: TV not accessible to watch.
Noisy in early hours morning and then also rubbish and cleaning started @ 5am in streets.Martin from Canada – 23 October 2024 (9/10)
Great location very comfortable.
What could be improved: I was aware of the noise from reviews and brought earplugs. I would suggest providing some for future guests . I would also suggest a light switch on the top floor for the stair lights (unless I missed it)Kate from United Kingdom – 4 October 2024 (10/10)
Perfect location in the old town. Close to lots of bars and restaurants and metres from the main square. Lovely touches leaving us some port to try too
What could be improved: A little bit noisy at night with people walking upstairs but really didn’t affect our stayJames from United States – 30 September 2024 (9/10)
Apartment Ivo, located within the walls of the old town is in a perfect location to access all of the sites. Although Old Town can be a little confusing, with potentially many many steps, our host Jadranka, had precise instructions to reach the property (from the Pile Gate to the property – a walk along the Stradun, a left turn on an adjoining street, and then a short walk with only 2 steps). Apartment Ivo came nicely equipped with everything we needed for our 5 night stay (separate bedroom, full kitchen, living room, & bath). The bed was comfortable, the kitchen had all of the basics with a dining table for four, the living room (for relaxing after a day seeing the sites in the neighborhood), and the bath had plenty of hot water. And, although it's located very close to the Stradun, it was quiet at night for a peaceful night's sleep.
What could be improved: We would have liked a rack or tray in the shower to hold soap, shampoo, etc. (we had to put the items on the floor). Also, the water in the bath shower and sink can get extremely hot, so one needs to be careful when adjusting the temperature.Naman from United States – 21 September 2024 (10/10)
The apartment was very clean and functional with all amenities.
What could be improved: Nothing, just that it’s on the second floor and may not be advisable for older people.Roy from Australia – 15 September 2024 (9/10)
Large apartment and excellent position.
Very clean and comfortable.
The host was very helpful.
What could be improved: The stairs with large luggage is hard work.
The pub downstairs is noisy until 2-3 am. Then continues with kegs and new stock being carted in.
I would have rated 10 but for the noise.
Highly recommend this unit but for younger couplesDon from Australia – 8 September 2024 (8/10)
Being inside the old town was very convenient. The unit layout was very good, and the extra touches like the lollies and welcome drink were good.
What could be improved: The location was above a hotel which partied on to the early hours of the morning. Kept waking us up. There wasn't any hot water in the kitchen sink. There wasn't a toaster, just a sandwich press. There was only one power point in the kitchen. The towel rack heating didn't work either. Be aware that there are no lifts in the Old Town and the two flights of stairs was a bit daunting with our luggage.Linzi from United Kingdom – 8 September 2024 (10/10)
Great location and very spacious exactly as pictured.
What could be improved: N/AChristopher from United States – 30 August 2024 (10/10)
Spacious, clean, comfortable, just as pictured in the photos. Very comfortable bed, good windows, great location. If you book this, use the Ploče or Pile Gates, do NOT use Buza Gate!
What could be improved: It would have been extra nice if it had a washing machine, but it was very thoughtful that at least there was a wash bin, clothes line and clips for us use.Bethany from United Kingdom – 22 August 2024 (10/10)
Ideal location. Spacious and beautiful.
What could be improved: Shame that there was no washing machine.
