Apartment Orchid

Apartment Orchid Overview

First Impressions

Walking up to Apartment Orchid on Frana Supila street, you immediately get that feeling you’ve found something special. This four-star property sits right in Ploče — honestly one of the best neighborhoods in Dubrovnik if you want to be close to everything without dealing with the Old Town crowds every single minute. The building itself has that Mediterranean charm you’re hoping for, and you can tell they’ve put thought into maintaining the place properly.

The Location Advantage

Here’s what I love about this spot — you’re literally a 10-minute walk from Dubrovnik’s famous city walls, but you’re not stuck in the tourist chaos all day long. Ploče gives you this perfect balance where you can grab morning coffee at a local café without fighting through cruise ship groups. The apartment scored a 9.4 for location, which honestly makes sense when you realize how easy it is to reach both the historic center and those gorgeous beaches along the coast. Plus, if you’re planning romantic dinners (couples really seem to love this place), you’ve got some fantastic options within walking distance.

The Space Itself

What struck me about the room setup is how they’ve managed to create something that feels both modern and authentically Croatian. The space is thoughtfully designed — not huge, but everything has its place, and the windows let in that beautiful Adriatic light that makes Dubrovnik so photogenic. You know what’s nice? They’ve included a proper kitchenette area, which means you can actually prepare simple meals if you want to save money or just enjoy some local market finds. The bathroom is well-appointed, and I appreciated that they’ve clearly invested in good linens and comfortable furnishings.

Neighborhood Discoveries

Staying in Ploče means you get to experience Dubrovnik like locals do, at least partially. There’s a small restaurant just down the street that serves incredible seafood risotto — the kind of place you’d never find if you were staying inside the Old Town walls. The morning walk to the nearest bakery becomes part of your routine, and you’ll probably end up chatting with the same shopkeepers each day. I mean, it’s still touristy because this is Dubrovnik, but there’s definitely more breathing room here than in the main historic district.

Why Guests Love It

The 8.5 rating really reflects what you get here — solid comfort, excellent location, and that feeling that you’re staying somewhere with character rather than just another generic accommodation. Parking can be arranged, which is actually a big deal in this city where finding a spot can turn into an adventure you didn’t sign up for. What couples especially appreciate is having a peaceful base where they can retreat after long days of sightseeing, but still feel connected to the energy of the city. It’s that sweet spot between convenience and tranquility that’s surprisingly hard to find in popular destinations like Dubrovnik.

Dubrovnik’s apartments welcome families with shaded terraces, laundry nooks, and quick access to Banje Beach paddle boards.
