Villa Adrian – Six Bedroom Villa with Swimming pool and Sea View

Hotel Description

You know what hit me first about Villa Adrian? It’s not just another rental property trying to sound fancy – this place actually delivers on that “sea view” promise in a way that’ll make you stop mid-conversation and just stare. I mean, you’re perched up in Ploce, which honestly gives you one of the best vantage points over the Adriatic without being stuck in the tourist chaos of Old Town. The six bedrooms are spread out thoughtfully, so even with a full group, you’re not tripping over each other trying to get ready for dinner.

The swimming pool is where this place really shines – it’s positioned so you can float around while looking out over the water, and trust me, that view hits different during golden hour. I’ve stayed in plenty of places that promise “sea views” and deliver a sliver of blue between two buildings, but from Villa Adrian, you’re getting the real deal. The outdoor space flows naturally from the pool area to these terraces where you’ll probably end up having your morning coffee (the sunrises are ridiculous). Inside, it’s got that updated Croatian villa feel – not trying too hard to be ultra-modern, but everything works and feels comfortable. The kitchen is actually functional if you decide to hit the local markets instead of dining out every night, though honestly, with Dubrovnik’s restaurant scene right there, you might not cook much.

Location-wise, you’re about a 15-minute walk to the Old Town walls, which sounds like nothing until you’re doing it uphill with beach gear in July heat – but that’s also why you have the pool and the peace and quiet up here. The neighborhood has that residential feel where you’ll see locals going about their day, not just tourists with selfie sticks. Parking is straightforward, which anyone who’s tried to navigate a car around Dubrovnik will tell you is worth its weight in gold. I’d say this works best for groups who want to experience Dubrovnik but also want a proper base to retreat to – somewhere you can spread out, take a dip when the city gets overwhelming, and actually relax instead of just checking boxes on a sightseeing list. The four-star rating feels about right; it’s polished and well-maintained without being stuffy or overpriced for what you’re getting.
