• Krzysztof from Poland – 12 May 2025 (10/10)

  Location was great. Near to the old town, stairway to Srd and St. Jacob beach.

• Kayleigh from South Africa – 5 October 2024 (8/10)

  Great location, beautiful view! It had everything we needed.

• Ian from United Kingdom – 27 August 2024 (10/10)

  Amazing apartment with amazing views, everything was thought out in how the apartment was set out, there was everything in it that you could possibly need, plenty of space there were 4 of us staying. The bed was so comfy. And you could easily walk to the old town of Dubrovnik or to the beach.
  We would recommend this place to any couples or families.
  
  What could be improved: I could not fault it in any way, it was one of the best places we have stayed in, not a problem for us but the walk back to the apartment may be an issue for some due to the hill/steps but you expect that to have the amazing view which easily makes up for the walk, taxi and bus available if you need it .

• Iulian from Romania – 14 July 2024 (10/10)

  I liked everything. It's an apartment that doesn't lack anything, you have everything you need plus an amazing view
  
  What could be improved: I have nothing to complain about

• Annern from Croatia – 10 June 2024 (10/10)

  The property was excellent, fantastic host who even washed and dried our clothes, amazing service, view was fantastic over the old town and Lokrum island
  
  What could be improved: It was a little difficult to access by car due to the amount of cars parked in the street but it didn’t detract from our stay

• Vaida from Belgium – 10 May 2024 (10/10)

  Super nice apartment with awesome view, walking distance to old town, inside we found everything we needed.

• Jakub from Poland – 6 October 2023 (10/10)

  It was great, much nicer than in the pictures. The flat is gorgeous and has a really amazing view that was hard to walk away from. Breakfast in such languid surroundings is music to the eyes and soul. The flat had a dishwasher, oven, cooker, fridge with ice cube maker, a supply of coffee, tea sugar and small condiments. Revelation. The hosts are wonderful people who took a strong interest in our little accident with the balcony door. The first aid kit was in the room which is very rare. The cleanliness of the property is excellent to go with the facilities such as an iron, towels and beach bags, toiletries and a supply of toilet paper. The internet was stable and strong. The extra power socket next to the bed is a very good idea. I happened to give ratings of 10/10 for other flats, but now I am aSHAMEed, because if I gave 10 then it should be 12/10 here. The stairs can be a problem on the return, but with Uber/Bolt it costs from the old town 6-9 euros…so…. If I am in Dubrovnik again I will definitely stay at this property. I have already recommended this Apartment with Sea View to all my friends. Thank you again handsome family 😉
  
  Free Tip :The KONZUM shop in the centre of the old town is much cheaper than the nearby Studenac, so I recommend shopping in the centre and returning comfortably by Uber – the difference in cost will cover the fare in full.

• Mari from United Kingdom – 8 September 2023 (10/10)

  The Stella Maris one bedroom apartment was just perfect for our 2 night stay. It was about a 15-20 minute walk into the Old Town and about the same to St Jacob's Beach. The views were just stunning. The owner was happy for us to check in earlier and arranged a transfer to the airport for us which was fab. Although we didn't cook alot the kitchen was really well equipped with the added bonus of a dishwasher and coffee machine. The apartment was spotlessly clean, the bed really comfortable and the sofa bed set up in the living area was also great. Would definitely recommend. As with alot of Dubrovnik, there were steep flights of stairs linking to the road below, although you could take the longer option and follow the road as it zigzags down.
