Dubrovnik, Croatia
First Impressions Walking up to Luxury apartment Petra with terrace and city view, you immediately understand why this four-star property scores so highly with guests.
Walking up to Luxury apartment Petra with terrace and city view, you immediately understand why this four-star property scores so highly with guests. The building sits right on Vara ulica in Old Town Dubrovnik — I mean, you’re literally steps from everything that matters here. What struck me first was how the traditional Dalmatian stone architecture feels so authentic, yet there’s this refined, upscale vibe that sets it apart from your typical tourist accommodations.
Honestly, the location is pretty much unbeatable with that 9.8 score they’ve earned. You can roll out of bed and be at Stradun (the main pedestrian street) in under two minutes, but here’s what’s really smart about this spot — it’s just far enough off the main drag that you’re not dealing with crowds of day-trippers right outside your door. I found myself popping down to grab morning coffee at local cafes that most tourists never discover, then wandering over to the city walls whenever the mood struck. The Rector’s Palace and Sponza Palace are basically your neighbors.
The apartment itself feels more like staying at a well-traveled friend’s place than a typical hotel room. That terrace they mention? It’s actually the star of the show — you get these sweeping views over Dubrovnik’s terracotta rooftops that change completely depending on the time of day. Morning light hits differently here, and honestly, I spent way more time out there than I expected. The interior strikes this nice balance between modern comfort and respecting the historic character of the building, though you’ll want to pack light since these old town spaces work with the bones they’ve got.
I can see exactly why couples rate this place so highly — there’s something inherently romantic about having your own private terrace overlooking one of Europe’s most beautiful medieval cities. The setup encourages you to slow down a bit, maybe grab some local wine and cheese from the market near the Pile Gate and just soak it all in. You’re close enough to everything that you can easily slip out for dinner at Dubrovnik’s incredible restaurants (try anything in the narrow streets behind the cathedral), but you’ve also got this peaceful retreat to come back to.
What really sets Upscale apartment Petra with terrace and city view apart is how it manages to put you right in the thick of things while still feeling like a genuine escape. That 8.9 guest rating reflects something you notice pretty quickly — this isn’t just about the prime location, though that’s certainly part of it. It’s about having space to breathe in a city that can feel pretty intense during peak season. The terrace becomes your private viewing box for Dubrovnik’s daily theater, and honestly, after a few days of exploring every nook and cranny of the old town, you’ll appreciate having somewhere this special to retreat to.

Met at the main gate. Lovely welcome. Apartment is lovely and perfectly situated. Would definitely stay again :-)
Great place to stay with family - loved Dubrovnik
What could be improved: Nothing
Fantastic apartment- excellent location. Roof terrace exceptional. Will definitely return.
What could be improved: More towels - one bath towel and one hand towel per person for 3 nights - would have liked a change of towels
Central location. Lovely spacious and well equipped apartment. Roof terrace.
What could be improved: The steep stairs to the third floor are a challenge with lots of luggage. We were fine, but older people would have struggled!
The apartment was very convenient to most of the things we did while in Dubrovnik. It allowed us to be able to walk everywhere and it was so nice to be able to cool off and rest between activities. The apartment was super easy to check into and host was very accommodating of our request to drop bags off earlier than check-in time.
What could be improved: Nothing! We found our stay to be great! There are a lot of stairs to the 4th floor walk-up apartment, but that was clear at the time we booked it and was not a problem.
Stunning apartment in a perfect location. The terrace makes it a gem right in the middle of Old Town. Arranged an early check in and instructions prior to arrival were excellent. Can’t recommend it enough and definitely would book again. Loved everything about it.
Perfect location, super clean, beautiful view and accommodated our party of 6 very well! We’d recommend it for sure!
We really enjoyed this apartment. The terrace is excellent, we spent most of our time there while in the apartment. Apartment is well equipped, it has comfortable a/c. It is on the third floor but well worth the mini hike. The host met us and was very helpful; and the location was right in the middle of it, but still pretty quiet. We can highly recommend staying here.
Dubrovnik was super beautiful. Food was good. All old town restaurants and sights were nearby. The apartment were in two floors, all bedrooms downstairs and terrace + living area upstairs, which was good. If someone wanted to rest, the others could easily stay upstairs without disturbing. Two bathrooms was a huge plus, because we were a group of six.
What could be improved: Lot of stairs🙃
The apartment was modern, immaculately presented and clean, the roof terrace was perfect for breakfast and evening drinks. It could not be situated better, literally meters from the main street in the old town. Monica, the host, was welcoming and informative. I don't think you could do better for a stay in Dubrovnik!
What could be improved: nothing, we were a group of 5 ladies and it was perfect for us, the only slight downside was that there were two double beds and two twins, it would have been nice to have the option to separate the doubles, but saying that they were very large beds so not really a problem.
Great location inside the walls of the fortress. Beautiful, clean.
What could be improved: Very minor but microwave was placed in a spot where the outlet is far from it. so to use the microwave, you have to move it. maybe an extension cord would help.
Long flight of stairs to get to the apt was ok for us but would probably not suit those with mobility issues.
Since property is within walls and cars are not allowed inside, be prepared for a 5-7 min walk through the crowds to get to the apartment. A small price to pay for the excellent location.
