Apartment Thalassicus A27

Apartment Thalassicus A27 Overview

First Impressions

When I first walked up to Apartment Thalassicus A27, I’ll be honest — the name made me chuckle a bit. But you know what? This four-star apartment in Dubrovnik quickly won me over with its understated charm. Tucked away on Frana Cale street in Ploce, it feels like you’ve discovered something special that most tourists rush right past. The building itself has that classic Croatian coastal architecture, and there’s something refreshing about staying somewhere that doesn’t scream “tourist accommodation” from every corner.

Location That Actually Matters

Here’s the thing about location in Dubrovnik — everyone talks about being close to the Old Town, but honestly, you want to be close enough to walk there easily without being in the thick of the cruise ship crowds. This place nails that balance perfectly. I mean, that 9.9 location score isn’t just marketing fluff — you’re literally a pleasant 10-minute stroll to Pile Gate, but you’re in Ploce, which feels more like where actual people live. The nearby Banje Beach is practically around the corner, and there’s a decent grocery store within walking distance (trust me, you’ll appreciate that when you want to grab some local wine and cheese for the evening).

The Space Itself

What I really appreciated about this room was how it felt like staying in someone’s well-appointed home rather than a sterile hotel. The kitchen is actually functional — not one of those tiny hotel kitchenettes where you can barely boil water. I ended up cooking a simple dinner one night with ingredients from the local market, and it was honestly one of my favorite evenings in Dubrovnik. The space is thoughtfully laid out, and while it’s not huge, everything you need is there. The balcony overlooks the neighborhood, giving you glimpses of daily Croatian life that you’d miss in a traditional hotel.

Practical Perks

The parking situation deserves a mention because, well, anyone who’s driven in Dubrovnik knows it can be a nightmare. Having a designated spot takes away that stress completely. The air conditioning works well (crucial during summer months), and the Wi-Fi is reliable enough for those inevitable “let me just check one email” moments. I also noticed the attention to small details — good lighting for reading, enough outlets for charging devices, and blackout curtains that actually block out the morning sun when you want to sleep in after a late night exploring the city.

Why Guests Love It

That 8.7 rating makes perfect sense once you’ve stayed here. Couples particularly seem to gravitate toward this place, and I can see why — there’s something intimate about having your own space rather than just another hotel room. You can start your morning with coffee on the balcony, plan your day without rushing to check out, and return in the evening to decompress properly. It’s the kind of place where you feel like you’re living in Dubrovnik for a few days rather than just visiting. Plus, the value is solid for what you get — you’re paying for location and comfort without the premium that comes with staying inside the Old Town walls.
