Located at Između Ribnjaka 1 in the coveted Lapad area, the villa offers a perfect balance of tranquility and accessibility, situated away from the bustling crowds of the Old Town yet within easy reach of Dubrovnik’s most celebrated attractions.

A short bus or taxi ride connects visitors to Dubrovnik’s UNESCO-protected Old Town, with its historic city walls, limestone streets, and cultural landmarks that have earned it the nickname “Pearl of the Adriatic.”

What truly distinguishes Villa Marini Dvori is its harmonious blend of traditional Dalmatian architecture with contemporary amenities, creating a haven of comfort without sacrificing authenticity. Each space within the property has been thoughtfully designed to maximize the Mediterranean experience, from terraces that capture the refreshing sea breezes to interiors that reflect the region’s rich cultural heritage.

Reviews

  • Tom from United Kingdom – 17 September 2024 (10/10)

    stunning flat in the perfect location, the garden and chapel were gorgeous. Can’t believe we saw turtles there.

  • Auron from Belgium – 22 July 2024 (10/10)

    We had an excellent stay. Everything was exactly as depicted in the photos and met our expectations perfectly. The cleanliness was outstanding, parking was convenient, and the view was exceptional. The private garden was a lovely touch. The hostess was fantastic and even had a delightful, friendly dog. She also provided us with some homemade items such as jam. The house offered ample space and was well-maintained. There are many wonderful beaches nearby, with a bus station right outside and easy access to Uber. We highly recommend this place!

    What could be improved: / (it was perfect 😄!!)

  • Karina from Slovakia – 8 September 2023 (10/10)

    The apartment was very nice, perfectly clean, equipped with everything what we needed. It had beautiful atmosphere and nice location.
    The host Mara is THE BEST. We felt very comfortable and welcome at her place :))
    She was amazing, she took care of us, gave us best travel advices and even more. Thanks to her, our holiday was great 🙂 We are happy to recomend her and come back once again.

  • Karen from United Kingdom – 10 August 2023 (10/10)

    Mara made this more than just a stay in an anonymous apartment – she was incredibly kind, hospitable and helpful – and it felt like we were staying in her home but with our privacy and within our own self-contained apartment. The accommodation itself was immaculate and fully kitted out. Mara had even bought us some provisions for our first morning because we arrived on the eve of a public holiday. For us, a family of 5 (children: 12, 18, 20), the position of Villa Marina Dvori was perfect: a ten minute walk to the beach or a 10 minute bus ride to the old city. We split our time between the two – the buses were regular (we never waited more than 5 minutes) and easy to use. I wish I’d had more time to sit in Mara’s stunning garden but I started most days reading on the terrace overlooking the marina – heaven!

  • Jane from United Kingdom – 30 June 2022 (10/10)

    one of the original old Dubrovnik houses with its own pretty little church in the grounds and beautiful gardens. Location was excellent, a short walk to beaches and restaurants and 10 minute taxi in to the old town. We were so thankful we decided to stay in Lapad rather than within the city walls.

  • Sarah from United Kingdom – 29 June 2022 (10/10)

    Host was amazing, she met us on the day of arrival and ensured we had information about the area and spent time making sure we were comfortable and also introduced us to her lemon cello and gave us some of her homemade marmalade. The villa is exceptionally clean and has everything you need. Area is safe and has lovely bars and restaurants. Highly recommend.

  • Anonymous from Ireland – 24 August 2023 (9/10)

    Spotless and spacious

  • Marjo from Finland – 8 May 2025 (10/10)

    Ihana emäntä Mara oli odottamassa meitä ja esitteli kauniin ja todella siistin huoneiston. Keittiö oli hyvin varusteltu ja kaksi makuuhuonetta ja kaksi kylpyhuonetta oli mitä tarvitsimme. Omalla parvekkeella pystyi nauttimaan auringosta koko päivän. Kaunis jaettu puutarha oli täynnä kukkia ja hedelmäpuita ja näimme jopa kilpikonnan. Mara avusti ystävällisesti niin ravintoloiden, kuin muidenkin palveluiden kanssa. Muutaman sadan metrin päässä paras hinta-laatusuhteen ravintola. Hän tarjosi todella maukasta omatekemää limocelloa sekä marmeladejaan. Iltalennon takia saimme jatkaa oleskelua pidempään ja odottaa rauhassa kuljetusta kentälle. Tälle kohteelle täydet suositukset ja palaan varmasti tänne seuraavallakin kerralla.
