Maria was such a kind an gracious host. She offered so many recommendations and helped me navigate around town as well. Her summer kitchen and garden were a great place to start and end the day with a cup of coffee or glass of wine. As a solo traveler I felt very safe and welcome and would recommend her guesthouse to other solo travelers 100%
Susan from United Kingdom – 13 September 2024 (10/10)
Staying with Maria is like staying with your mum! (In a good way lol). She helped us with information, did our washing, gave us some home made wine, gave us a lift to the ferry terminal…
The flat was lovely and the balcony had a view of the sea and the sunset. The garden doesn't have a view but is a beautiful, restful place to chill after sightseeing.

Loved Maria's special home that she shared with me. It was beautiful and close to old town, groceries and easy walking distance to everything. She helped me with extra information. I would book with Maria again anytime!
Wing from Hong Kong – 12 August 2024 (10/10)
The host is super kind and helpful!!! First of all, she has prepared some soft drinks in the fridge for us. Then, when I asked about if I could use the washing machine, she even offered to do the laundry, dry the clothes and collect them afterwards for me without any extra charges. I am so grateful for everything she did! I would definitely recommend travelers to pick this guest house!

We absolutely loved the garden and the kitchen. The whole house is beautiful and unforgettable. The most memorable part is the host, Maria, who is absolutely lovely. The location is perfect, a short walk from the old town and the rooms are very clean and comfortable. Highly reccomend this place!
Neale from Ireland – 25 July 2024 (10/10)
Maria was superb – so helpful. Loved the outdoor kitchen on the veranda. The house was in a great location – close enough to walk to the Old Town, but not too close – far enough away from tourist hustle & bustle!
What could be improved: You might get bites on the veranda, so insect repellent is a must, although Maria offered that too!! Traditional & rustic accommodation, so while perfect for us, if you like the finer things in holiday accommodation, maybe try a hotel!Braden from Australia – 23 July 2024 (10/10)
The accomodation had a very homely feel with a lovely terrace to sit out on and enjoy breakfast. The room with very clean and had more than enough space for us. A short walking distance to the old town.
Cristian from Romania – 18 July 2024 (10/10)
Everything was as the host promised in the previous conversations. Maria met us closed to her guest house, assisted with luggage and with the car parking. She provides free parking, which is a good thing, since parking in the city of Dubrovnik may prove expensive and difficult to find, especially in the close proximity of beaches and Oldtown.
The place where the car is parked may be a little distant if one chooses to walk there (10 to 15 min uphill, depending on your fitness status), but she will drive you there and back anytime you need the car. But we didn't need the car for the entire durations of our stay (4 nights), since it's only a 10 minutes walk from the house to Oldtown Dubrovnik or the nearest beach – Beach Šulić.
The room itself, where we stayed, wasn't that big, but it was clean and provided the basics after a day of walking the streets of old Dubrovnik. Also, you can use a nice country stile kitchen (shared with the other guests), which is down on a terrace with access to her beautiful garden.
The garden is an attraction for kids, especially due to the turtles living there. At the time of our stay, an orange tree and an olive tree were displaying their fruits (not ripe yet, though).Lorna from United Kingdom – 15 July 2024 (10/10)
The host Maria was so lovely and welcoming! She picked us up from the port and made sure that we had everything we needed including giving us lots of recommendations about where to visit! The room was comfortable and the property had good facilities! Thank you!
