APARTMENT LAURA,amazing view! Overview

First Impressions

When I first pulled up to APARTMENT LAURA,amazing view!, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from the name alone — but wow, they weren’t kidding about that view part. This four-star apartment sits perfectly positioned in Ploče, which locals will tell you is one of the quieter residential areas just outside Dubrovnik’s Old Town. The building itself is modern and well-maintained, and I immediately noticed how easy it was to find parking right on site — something that’s actually a huge relief when you’re dealing with Dubrovnik’s notoriously narrow streets.

Location & Getting Around

You know what I love about staying in Dubrovnik? This place gives you the best of both worlds. You’re close enough to walk to the Old Town walls in about 15 minutes, but far enough away that you escape the cruise ship crowds that flood the historic center during peak hours. The Ploče area has this authentic residential feel — you’ll see locals doing their grocery shopping and kids playing in small parks. There’s a decent grocery store just a few minutes’ walk away, which comes in handy when you want to grab some Croatian wine and local cheese for an evening on your terrace.

The Space Itself

The room — well, it’s really more of a full apartment — exceeded my expectations completely. The moment you step onto that balcony, you understand why they put “amazing view” right in the name. I mean, you’re looking out over the Adriatic with Lokrum Island sitting there like a green jewel, and honestly, I spent way more time just sitting out there with my morning coffee than I planned. The kitchen is properly equipped too, not just some token mini-fridge situation — I actually cooked a few meals using ingredients from the local market.

What Makes It Special

Here’s the thing that really struck me about this place: the attention to detail. Everything feels thoughtfully chosen, from the comfortable bedding to the way the apartment is laid out to maximize those sea views. The host clearly knows what travelers actually need — good WiFi, plenty of outlets, proper blackout curtains for those summer sunrises that come early in Croatia. Plus, having that private parking spot means you can easily take day trips along the coast without worrying about finding a place to leave your car when you return.

Why Guests Love It

After staying here, I totally get why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something genuinely romantic about watching the sunset from that terrace with a glass of local wine. But it’s not just the romance factor; it’s the practical stuff too. You’re getting excellent value with a 9.9 rating that feels completely deserved, staying in what’s apparently the top-rated area of the city, and you have the freedom to come and go as you please without dealing with hotel schedules or crowded lobbies. Sometimes the best travel experiences happen when you can just live like a local for a few days, and that’s exactly what this apartment delivers.

Dubrovnik hotels pair terracotta rooftops with sea-view terraces perfect for oysters, rose, and lantern-lit evenings.
