Apartments Lovro – Duplex One Bedroom Apartment with Terrace and Partial Sea View 1

Hotel Description

You know what caught me off guard about Apartments Lovro? The moment I stepped into this duplex, I actually felt like I was staying at a friend’s really well-appointed place rather than some sterile rental. The whole setup sits perfectly in that sweet spot where you’re close enough to Dubrovnik’s buzz but far enough out that you’re not dealing with the cruise ship chaos that honestly makes the Old Town pretty unbearable during peak hours.

The duplex layout works brilliantly – and I mean that practically, not just because it sounds fancy. Downstairs you’ve got this open living space that flows onto the terrace, where that “partial sea view” is actually more generous than you’d expect. Sure, it’s not a full-on panoramic sweep, but you catch these gorgeous glimpses of the Adriatic between the neighboring buildings, especially if you angle yourself just right with your morning coffee. The bedroom upstairs feels properly separate from the living area, which matters more than you’d think when you’re trying to decompress after trudging around those ancient stone streets all day. The kitchen’s actually functional too – I managed to whip up some decent meals with ingredients from the local market, though honestly, with all the incredible seafood spots within walking distance, I’m not sure why I bothered cooking half the time.

What really sells this place is the neighborhood vibe. You’re positioned where locals actually live and work, not in some tourist bubble. There’s this little bakery about three minutes away where the owner started recognizing me after day two, and the morning ritual of grabbing fresh buzenice became genuinely something I looked forward to. The walk into the Old Town takes maybe fifteen minutes if you’re not in a rush – and trust me, you don’t want to rush because the route takes you past some of those classic Dubrovnik limestone houses that look completely different in morning light versus evening. Parking can be a bit of a dance (welcome to Croatia), but the host actually gave me solid local intel about the best spots rather than just shrugging and saying “figure it out.” The apartment itself stays surprisingly cool even during those brutal August afternoons, and the terrace catches this perfect cross-breeze in the evenings when you’re ready to just sit with a glass of local wine and watch the neighborhood settle into that relaxed Mediterranean pace. I mean, the whole experience just felt… right, you know? Like staying somewhere that enhances the trip rather than just providing a bed.
