First Impressions Walking up to Leonarda Baroque House – Old Town feels like discovering a hidden gem tucked away on one of Dubrovnik's quieter cobblestone streets.
Walking up to Leonarda Baroque House – Old Town feels like discovering a hidden gem tucked away on one of Dubrovnik’s quieter cobblestone streets. The building itself has this authentic baroque charm that doesn’t feel forced or overly restored — you know how some places try too hard to look historic? This isn’t one of them. Located on Dropčeva street, it’s positioned perfectly within the old city walls, and honestly, the location alone makes this four-star property worth considering. The attention to detail in preserving the original character is immediately apparent.
Here’s what I love about staying here — you’re literally in the heart of everything, but without the chaos of being right on Stradun (the main drag). It’s maybe a two-minute walk to the famous limestone street, but you get to sleep peacefully at night. The Rector’s Palace is practically around the corner, and you can reach the city walls in about three minutes on foot. Couples absolutely rave about this location, and after staying here, it’s easy to understand why they rate it so highly for romantic getaways. The positioning offers the perfect balance of accessibility and tranquility.
The rooms blend old-world character with modern comfort in a way that actually works. You’ll find original stone details and period touches, but the bathrooms are updated and the air conditioning works properly — which, trust me, matters during those sweltering Adriatic summers. The baroque elements aren’t overwhelming; they’re more like subtle nods to the building’s history. Some rooms have views of the narrow streets below, and there’s something charming about watching locals go about their daily routines from your window. Each space feels thoughtfully designed rather than cramped or dated.
What strikes me most is how the staff seems to genuinely care about your experience without being overly formal about it. They’ll give you real recommendations (not just the touristy spots) and help you navigate the sometimes confusing maze of Old Town streets. The breakfast setup is intimate rather than grand — think quality over quantity. You’re not dealing with massive tour groups here, which keeps the atmosphere relaxed and personal throughout your stay. This personalized approach extends to every interaction during your visit.
The 9.3 rating really reflects what you experience day-to-day: a hotel that delivers on its promises without any major disappointments. You’re staying in a building with genuine history, in a location that saves you countless steps and taxi rides, with service that feels personal rather than corporate. It’s the kind of place where you can step out your door and be exploring Dubrovnik’s incredible architecture within seconds, then retreat back to your room when the crowds get overwhelming. For couples especially, there’s something romantic about having this authentic baroque hideaway as your base while exploring one of Europe’s most beautiful cities.
Exploring Dubrovnik weaves together cliffside swim spots, festival fireworks, and renaissance palaces glowing under Dalmatian stars.

Hosts are incredible - went over and above to make us comfortable. Location could not be better - would stay here again in a heartbeat - Beautiful, clean apartmennts. 5 stars for sure!
What could be improved: Nothing!!
Location was perfect. Literally right on the door step of all of the old town - beautiful old setting in an old building. The property interior is almost new and had everything we needed. Air con was great. Comfortable bed. Good fridge, storage and cooking facilities. Leonarda and her family were very friendly and helpful hosts.
What could be improved: We loved everything. Being very close to the old town means that you can hear some music from bars quite late into the night but it wasn't a problem for us - maybe not ideal for very light sleepers or take earplugs. We didn't need to use the dishwasher as we only cooked light means so a draining rack would have been a useful addition to the kitchen when hand washing plates, mugs and pans.
Property is Excellent. Ultra clean and comfortable. Perfect location.
The position is very good, the apartment was very cozy and the owners were very kind :)
The location was perfect, only a few feet from the Stradun. The room is very well decorated. It has everything that you need and more. Leonarda and her family and super friendly and accommodating. We would definitely go back!
What could be improved: Nothing
Lovely staff who were very helpful. Lovely hot shower and comfortable bed.
What could be improved: Any property in Old Town has the constant evening noise of people at restaurants and bars but this did not stop us having a good nights sleep.
I usually don’t write reviews but I wanted to share the amazing experience we’ve had at Leaonarda! The location is perfect, a few steps from the main street with nice shops, bars, restaurants, also close to the beach. We reached all parts of the city within a few mins.
The Hosts were very nice, we arrived early in the morning (9am)and could drop off out luggage, got a recommendation for a nice brunch spot in 40m. We were lucky and could get our appartment in 1,5 hours already, which was highly appreciated after an early morning flight!
We were at the attic appartment, which was spacious enough for 3 girls, a lot of spaces for our products in the bathroom, spaciois kitchen with all the necessarily equipments (which we did not use). we’ve even had some coffe capsules and croissant prepared for us, which is a nice touch.
The apartment was very nicely decorated and immaculate, super clean,with more than enough storage (we stayed for 2 nights only). Bed linens and towels were super nice quality, as well.
Beds were super comfortable, even the pull-out sofa in the living room, where they’ve added an extra cover matrace for better comfort. Again, a very nice touch as I have the same model at home for my guests and indeed without this extra cover it is not the most comfortable bed…
The only thing that you need to keep in mind is that the appartment is in the attic, with no elevator, but we did not mind some exercise after the nince dinners in town :)
The building itself is also very nice, old building in the middle of town, renovated with nice quality materials. I loved the design and that they’ve kept parts of the old building and walls, also the story of each apartment on the door, reflecting the city’s and the building’s history.
What could be improved: nothing, it was perfect
Location was excellent. Host was very nice and friendly. Would definitely recommend it to anyone who wants to visit Dubrovnik to stay with them.
The hotel was very beautiful, comfortable, clean, and very close to all attractions. We were with small children with strollers and it was very easy for us to move around. We are very pleased with the hospitality of the owners, the cleanliness of the hotel, it had everything we needed, I would gladly return on our next trip. Super super satisfied.
What could be improved: Nothing
Super friendly and helpful host. Very clean. Perfect location in Old Town Dubrovnik. Would definitely recommend to others and would stay again. Was super happy that we stayed within the Old Town. Great kitchen too in each of the suites!
What could be improved: Slightly noisy at night from the restaurant below but would still stay here again.
