First Impressions
Honestly, the name says it all — SECRET GARDEN APARTMENT by DuHomes has this quiet, tucked-away feel that you don’t always expect to find in a city as busy as Dubrovnik. You turn off one of the streets near the Old Town, and suddenly things get calmer, more residential, more real. It’s one of those places where you arrive and immediately feel like you’ve figured something out that most tourists haven’t.
Location & Neighborhood
The address on Miha Klaića puts you in what I’d genuinely call one of the best-positioned spots in the city — and that’s not just me saying it, the location score here is a perfect 10.0. You’re close enough to the Old Town to walk there without thinking twice, but far enough that you’re not sleeping above a bar or waking up to tour groups at 8am. The neighborhood has that lived-in Dubrovnik character — stone walls, a bit of shade, the smell of the sea not too far off.
The Apartment
This is a three-star property, so don’t come expecting a spa or a rooftop pool — but what it does offer, it does well. The apartment setup means you’ve got your own space, which makes a real difference, especially if you’re staying more than a couple of nights. There’s a sense of privacy here that a standard hotel room just can’t replicate. It’s well-kept, thoughtfully arranged, and you can tell the people behind DuHomes actually care about the details.
Perfect for Two
Couples especially seem to click with this place — and I get it completely. There’s something about having your own little apartment in Dubrovnik, away from the crowds, that makes a trip feel more like an escape and less like a holiday package. You can grab fresh groceries from a nearby shop, cook a simple dinner, sit out in the evening — it’s that kind of stay. The rating here sits at a very solid 9.2, and a big chunk of that is coming from couples who clearly left happy.
Why Guests Love It
What keeps people talking about SECRET GARDEN APARTMENT by DuHomes is the combination of location and atmosphere — two things that are genuinely hard to get right at the same time in a place like Dubrovnik. You’re not paying for a grand lobby or a concierge, you’re paying for a well-placed, well-run apartment that lets you experience the city on your own terms. I mean, a perfect location score in one of Croatia’s most visited cities is no small thing. If you’re planning a trip for two and want something that feels a bit more personal than a standard hotel stay, this one is worth bookmarking.

What Our Guests Say
Tastefully decorated & well equipped house located just outside the old town. Perfect! Host was responsive & helpful. Great place to stay!
What could be improved: Nil
Location is excellent
Apartment is beautifully decorated
Spacious. 2 bathrooms was great for our group
What could be improved: Very little - but we were disappointed to be charged for luggage storage on our last day.
The most beautiful accommodation we stayed in our whole trip!
Could not recommend any higher! Amazing location, beautiful apartment and great price! (We did book it 2 days before arriving so we may have received a discount as the price was very reasonable)
We stayed during a heatwave so having such a beautiful indoor space with air conditioning was ideal. An oasis from the heat and busy crowded streets of old town Dubrovnik
What could be improved: It requires some logistics if you arrive in a car. Maybe the rental team could be more helpful in recommending parking (especially how to get back from the car park on the first day) etc
Great and easy communication with the hosts at all time - we were met at the apartment on arrival and all questions and concerns were answered by whats app very promptly. Very spacious apartment with a fantastic garden and terrace with views to the fort. We had everything we needed in the apartment in terms of amenities (dishwasher, washing machine, coffee maker, microwave, pots and pans, etc.) It's a very short walk to the old town - perfect location for exploring on foot.
What could be improved: Adding a sun umbrella to the terrace would be really great. Also the furniture in the living room is stylish, but not very comfy to laze around and there is not enough seating for 4 people (without taking chairs from the dining table into the lounge area).
The decor, the amenities, the art, the size, the location, the luxury, the view from the terrace
What could be improved: Absolutely nothing could have been better. It was perfect.
Stunning apartment, 5 stars. Location perfect, 2 minute walk to Pile gate/old town
Location was excellent, the apartment was very well kitted out and the contact we had with the people running it was excellent. It was spotlessly clean with lovely artwork and decor. Couldn't have asked for a better place to stay to see Dubrovnik.
What could be improved: Maybe some milk and/or breakfast left for the first morning.
The apartment was spacious and had everything we needed. We especially liked the furnishings and the art on the walls. Also the garden, which initially we didn't realise was part of the property, was a great place to relax and enjoy a bottle of wine after a day of sightseeing. The proerty was only a few hundered yards from the walled town.
What could be improved: This sounds really picky but despite a watering system some of the plants in the pots on the upper terrace had died, which did detract a little.
There is nothing else not to like!
