Loved the pool and the outside space was smashing! Very clean with lots of seating areas to move around and get the best of the lovely sunshine.
Villa had everything you need and we had a few nights round the pool just chilling. Lovely quiet area away from the crowds in Dubrovnik.
What could be improved: Would be nice to have a few more bars and restaurants in walking distance from the villa.
We loved the costal walk down into Dubrovnik, we walked down every day! Was a highlight for my husband but for an evening out we taxied down so we could dress nicely. Uber was very reasonable too!
Vacation house Rubi
Dubrovnik, Croatia
Vacation house Rubi
First Impressions When I first pulled up to Vacation house Rubi, I honestly wasn't sure what to expect from a five-star vacation house in Dubrovnik.
First Impressions
When I first pulled up to Vacation house Rubi, I honestly wasn’t sure what to expect from a five-star vacation house in Dubrovnik. But you know what? This place immediately feels different β there’s something about the way it sits on Bosanka street that just screams luxury without being pretentious about it. The private parking right on site was actually a huge relief, because anyone who’s tried to navigate Dubrovnik’s narrow streets with a rental car knows what a nightmare that can be.
The Luxury Experience
Inside, the house delivers on that five-star promise in ways that surprised me. Each room feels thoughtfully designed rather than just expensive for the sake of it β there’s this perfect balance of Croatian charm and modern luxury that you don’t always find in vacation rentals. The swimming pool area became my favorite spot pretty quickly, and I mean, when you’re staying somewhere with a 9.8 rating, you expect it to be good, but this actually exceeded those expectations. It’s the kind of place where you find yourself taking photos not for social media, but because you genuinely want to remember how beautiful everything looks.
Location Perks
The location really is something special β recent guests rated it 8.5, and I can see why. You’re close enough to Dubrovnik’s historic center that you can easily explore the city walls and all those Game of Thrones filming locations, but far enough away that you’re not dealing with cruise ship crowds right outside your door. I noticed a lot of couples here during my stay, which makes sense because there’s something inherently romantic about having your own luxury house rather than just another hotel room. The neighborhood itself feels residential and authentic, not touristy.
What Sets It Apart
What really impressed me was how the house manages to feel both grand and intimate at the same time. The attention to detail is obvious β from the way the morning light hits the pool area to how everything just works seamlessly. You get the privacy and space of having your own place, but with all the luxury amenities you’d expect from a top-tier property. It’s honestly refreshing to find somewhere that doesn’t feel like it’s trying too hard to impress you, but then goes ahead and impresses you anyway.
Why Guests Love It
I think what makes Vacation house Rubi work so well is that it understands what travelers actually want when they’re splurging on a luxury stay in Croatia. You want to feel special, sure, but you also want to feel at home. The house delivers both β it’s sophisticated enough for a special occasion but comfortable enough that you’re not afraid to actually relax and enjoy yourself. Plus, having that private parking and pool means you can come and go as you please without dealing with hotel schedules or shared facilities. For couples especially, I can see why this place gets such rave reviews.

What Our Guests Say
Top location! Only by car π
What could be improved: Hard way up the hill, hard to get down to the centre when the cable car π does not work
First of all, the host is fantastic! She was always available and gave so many good recommendation. And she even prepared some light breakfast/snack for us upon arrival.
The space is impressive, very well kept. Both house and the property was spacious, plenty of space for me and my parents. Both bedrooms have own bathrooms. Kitchen is fully equipped. The view from the bigger bedroom is stunning, facing the pool and the mountains in the back.
The pool area was our favorite part during the stay. It was clean, spacious and just simply amazing. Spent every moment out there whenever we were at the house.
The surrounding is very calm, safe and relaxing. The view down to old town is breathtaking.
Would 150% recommend and if we are ever going back to Dubrovnik, we would definitely stay here again.
What could be improved: If you like things clean like us then it would have been nice to have something at the house to do light cleaning, specially if youβre staying for longer time
Not a negative feedback but good to keep in mind that there isnβt anything around in walking distance except for one restaraunt. You will need a car or hire a taxi to get around. We did walk to the viewpoint one night, and that took us about 30min or so, and it was uphill the whole way. Wouldnβt necessary recommend for elderly person.
Absolutely stunning villa in the lovely village of Bosanka. The local restaurant is only a couple of minutes walk away and is superb. Traditional food and friendly staff. Dubrovnik Old Town is walking distance, down the mountain. We didnβt try walking back up in the heat but you can get the bus, cable car or a taxi.
Great property incl pool; exceptionally clean and provides all relevant utensils to cook.
What could be improved: It is slightly out of town on a hill.
It was quiet and set a little back from the old town.
Lovely villa, clean and modern, was up in the hillls but only a 7 minute taxi ride I to dubrovnik..
What could be improved: Nothing was ideal
The villa is beautiful and had everything you would need. There was a lot of space in the villa and externally. The villa is a short walk into the old town where you have a beautiful view all the way down. The hosts were really helpful with providing local information and recommendations.
What could be improved: It would be too steep for most people to walk back up the steps however, an Uber was less than 10 euros or you can jump in the cable car.
Vacation house Ruby was absolutely fantastic! It has everything you need, the host is super nice and strives to make your stay as pleasant as possible. The facilities, as well as the atmosphere of the place are just great. I would definitely stay here again!
What could be improved: No complaints. Note that a car is necessary in order to get there.
Perfect place to relax.πππ
