Lovely host, great views, swimming pool and sun terrace
What could be improved: Would be even better if the swimming pool could be heated so people could swim all year round

First Impressions
Walking up to Residence top location apt. 1 Marghareta with sea view, you immediately understand why recent guests rated the location a perfect 10.0. The building sits on Od Gaja street — honestly, one of those addresses that locals nod approvingly at when you mention it. This four-star apartment residence has that understated elegance that Dubrovnik does so well, where the real upscale is in the positioning rather than flashy lobbies. You know what strikes you first? It’s how quiet this little pocket feels despite being so central to everything.
Location & Neighborhood
The location is genuinely exceptional, and I mean that in the most practical sense. You’re close enough to Dubrovnik’s Old Town that you can walk there without breaking a sweat, but far enough away that you escape the cruise ship crowds that flood the main tourist areas. The neighborhood has that authentic Croatian feel — you’ll pass locals heading to work, small cafes where people actually live rather than just visit. There’s private parking on site too, which anyone who’s driven in Dubrovnik will tell you is worth its weight in gold.
The Apartment
The sea view from Residence top location apt. 1 Marghareta isn’t just a marketing line — it’s the real deal. From the windows, you get those postcard glimpses of the Adriatic that make you pause whatever you’re doing. The apartment itself feels more like staying at a well-appointed friend’s place than a typical hotel room. Everything’s thoughtfully arranged, from the kitchen setup (actually functional, not just decorative) to the living spaces that invite you to settle in properly. The furnishings strike that sweet spot between comfort and style without trying too hard.
The Experience
What makes this place work so well for couples — and the feedback confirms this — is how it balances privacy with accessibility. You have your own space to retreat to, complete with that sea view to wake up to, but you’re never isolated from the energy of Dubrovnik. The apartment gives you flexibility that traditional hotels can’t match. Want to grab fresh ingredients from the local market and cook dinner while watching the sunset? You can do that here. Feel like heading out to explore the city walls or find that perfect seaside restaurant? You’re perfectly positioned for that too.
Why Guests Love It
That 9.6 rating isn’t accidental — it comes from the kind of details that matter when you’re actually staying somewhere. The combination of genuine local character, practical amenities like the parking, and that unbeatable location creates something special. Couples particularly appreciate how the apartment offers both the romance of those sea views and the convenience of being able to experience Dubrovnik like temporary residents rather than tourists passing through. It’s the sort of place that makes you start planning your return visit before you’ve even checked out.

What Our Guests Say
The apartment was beautifully decorated, modern, clean and spacious. It was really well equipped, with a fully stocked kitchen, as well as nice treats for us in the shower and a lovely gift of wine on our arrival.
The beds were comfortable and the pool area was really wonderful!
The apartment was about a 20 minute walk from the old town, albeit down/up lots of steps! This was really great as we could just walk everywhere!
Margarita was really welcoming and friendly. She helped me out with tips and advice when needed.
We had a really wonderful time in the apartment.
What could be improved: There were a few additional charges I wasn’t aware of. There was a charge to use the BBQ, which surprised us. Also, a charge for parking in the parking space outside- but this was in the info on the flat, I just hadn’t noticed it when we booked.
Otherwise, no complaints at all and would happily return. The apartment looks just like the photos.
(There wasn’t much hot water, so we couldn’t all have showers one after the other. But truthfully the weather was so hot, a cool shower was welcome!)
This hotel is just amazing! The host Anita is so lovely and the view and swimming pool just makes it perfect! If you go to Dubrovnik, you should stay here!
What could be improved: -
The outdoor living space - pool and sun loungers, the view of both sea and mountain, the indoor living space was large and airy and the kitchen was well equipped. It was good to have 2 showers and 2 toilets as there were 5 of us. Water was high pressurised and plenty of hot water. Anita was an amazing host, she greeted us, explained everything, but also prior to our visit she booked excursions for us that were fantastic and organised transfer to and from airport. Thank you Anita you made the trip very smooth and enjoyable
What could be improved: nothing big at all.......only small thing we all commented on were that the bedrooms were a little dark, but sure we were only in them to sleep!!! so that was actually good!!
Very nice, lots of space, excellent facilities and very clean
What could be improved: Nothing it was perfect
Anita the host is just brilliantly helpful
What could be improved: Nothing, would go back tomorrow. The hills around Dubrovnik can be a challenge but if you want yhat view, that pool!!
We have just returned from 9 days stay at this lovely very spacious apartment with every amenity possible washing machine, dishwasher large TV with netflix etc. There are two bathrooms which was a bonus. The pool area is great with many sun loungers /beds. The pool is shared with the apartment above but more than enough space around the pool for everyone. The pool area is kept exceptionally clean.
It's is quite a walk down many steps to old town and quite a hike back up however we didn't mind and kept ourselves fit. There are plenty taxi in old town if you don't want to walk.
The apartment is run by Anita who was there to greet us on arrival. Anita is a lovely lady who will do absolutely anything to help. Anita went above and beyond to help us during our stay which we appreciate so much.
We would definitely stay again.
Excellent location with gorgeous views. The pool was great. Fantastic hosts, Anita was so helpful organising transfers and offering to help with any bookings. The well stocked mini bar was much appreciated as were the snacks and things such as hand wash available.
What could be improved: Nit picking but a bread knife would be useful although we ate out mostly. No air conditioner in second bedroom was a little uncomfortable - maybe an electric fan would help.
