Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Apartments Sara & Nora, you immediately get that feeling you've stumbled onto something special.
Walking up to Apartments Sara & Nora, you immediately get that feeling you’ve stumbled onto something special. It’s tucked away on Cavtatska street in Ploče — honestly, one of those addresses that locals nod approvingly at when you mention it. The building itself has that understated Croatian charm, nothing flashy, but you can tell someone actually cares about this place. I mean, with a 9.7 rating, guests clearly aren’t just being polite.
Here’s what I love about staying in Ploče — you’re close enough to Dubrovnik’s Old Town that you can walk there in minutes, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds outside your window at 7 AM. The location score of 9.9 isn’t just marketing fluff; couples especially seem to get it, rating the area almost perfectly for romantic getaways. You’ve got that sweet spot where you can grab morning coffee at a neighborhood café where locals actually go, then stroll down to the ancient city walls when you’re ready to play tourist.
What strikes me about this three-star property is how they’ve managed to create spaces that feel like home rather than just another hotel room. The apartments — and yes, they’re proper apartments, not just rooms with a mini-fridge — give you that independence that’s so valuable when you’re traveling. You can actually cook a meal if you want to, or just spread out your stuff without living out of a suitcase. The attention to detail is what you’d expect from a place with Sara and Nora’s reputation, though honestly, the proof is in how guests keep coming back.
The thing about Dubrovnik is that location really is everything, and Apartments Sara & Nora nailed it. You’re positioned where the residential area meets the tourist zone — which means you get the best of both worlds. Walk one direction and you’re among locals buying vegetables at the market; walk the other and you’re photographing Game of Thrones filming locations. The bus connections are solid too, so if you want to explore places like Cavtat or take a day trip to the islands, you’re not stuck figuring out complicated logistics.
Look, I’ve stayed in plenty of places around Dubrovnik, and what sets this property apart isn’t any single flashy feature — it’s that everything just works the way it should. The combination of that prime Ploče location, the apartment-style setup, and what’s clearly thoughtful management creates one of those stays where you’re not constantly dealing with little annoyances. When couples are rating the location 9.9 out of 10, they’re telling you something important: this is the kind of place where you can actually relax and enjoy being in one of Croatia’s most beautiful cities, rather than just surviving your accommodation.

Perfect location to everything we wanted to see and eat. Owner is incredibly friendly and helpful. Fresh fruit, chocolates and drinks were such a nice surprise! Fantastic bakery just steps away.
What could be improved: Hot water runs out quickly but very insignificant. Just had to take quick showers.
Fantastic accommodation and hosts. Daria greeted us at the apartment, gave us an overview of the area and where to find things as well as some recommendations for eating out. The apartment is in a perfect location so close to the city walls, with shops, bars and restaurants all within walking distance. Daria also left us a complimentary fruit bowl, chocolates, fresh juice, beers and wine and milk for our morning coffee. We would definitely recommend this place!
Amazing property and awesome hosts! We will be back 😃
Our stay at Apartments Sara and Nora was absolutely amazing. I couldn’t fault a thing. Our hosts were absolutely amazing, so kind and generous- I’ve never experienced hosts like that. We were surprised at how beautiful the place was, I don’t think the photos really do it justice! The location as well is absolutely amazing, walking distance to everything you could want. Plus the view from the balcony was amazing. I would happily stay here again and will be recommending it to all of my friends that are coming to Dubrovnik. Thank you so much 😊

Everything! Best stay of our 5 week vacation. Our host, Darija, was wonderful. She met us on arrival and walked us through everything in the apartment. The apartment was well stocked with fruit, coffee and a welcoming gifts. She provided us with suggestions on local attractions and restaurants and had written details available. The balcony was a lovely place to relax or read and enjoy a quiet afternoon. The washing machine was a welcome bonus. The apartment is a short 5 minute walk to old town and other local amenities.
What could be improved: Absolutely nothing!
