Girls holiday

We had the most amazing time in this incredible villa, Everything was perfect from start to finish. A 15 minute stroll to the ancient walls with breathtaking views. We bought a 3 day pass for entrance to walls and busses costing €45. Well worth it if you struggle with walking as it’s up hill coming home. Amazing restaurants recommended by the owner of the villa. We also hired a boat through Dubrovnik Boats for the day and explored the Elaphiti Islands and had lunch on Sipan Island, fabulous restaurant recommendation by skipper and it was incredible! Not to expensive at all. We could have easily spent another 4 days exploring there is so much to do! We had a full day before our flight home and used a company called Baggage and Smile Porter service to come and collect our luggage, they brought it down all the steps and took it away for €30, each case was €15 a day. We had a wonderful day relaxing on the beach. For another €45 they took the four of us to the airport! Absolutely amazing service! Highly recommend this incredible villa! Thank you from 8 very happy ladies x

Amazing home in an incredible location.

A beautiful old home with ample room for a large family. Ocean views and a short walk down a hill that will help your aerobic fitness ;) Would highly recommend!!! One note - the bells from the church next door started at 6am and sometimes rang for three minutes. If you have young children or light sleepers this might be an issue. It wasn’t for us.

Great location

Had a fabulous short break in this wonderful villa, plenty of room for 6 ladies, location was perfect with just a 10 min walk into the old town, just be aware there are a lot of steps both inside and outside, the traffic noise is also a little invasive but a small price to pay for the location. We were very grateful for the aircon in all the bedrooms.

Lovely house - fantastic location with amazing views!

The villa is very spacious - we are a family of 5 and had lots of space to relax - and is well equipped with a very nice kitchen, comfortable beds and great bathrooms. The views over the sea were wonderful - we loved seeing the dolphins - and the Old Town is a short, enjoyable 10 min walk away, and a super market is just around the corner. Mrs Deranja was a wonderful help to us, arranging our transfers to and from the airport and was extremely informative about the house and the area. We had a great time! Thank you very much.

Wonderful house with amazing views

7 of us stayed here for a week in Aug 18. Owner was very helpful and organised a taxi pickup to and from the airport. If you ask, the taxi will stop at a small supermarket on the way to the property. The property itself was amazing, everything you need is there. It is very tastefully decorated and all the bedrooms were really comfortable with en-suite. Wifi is available in the house only, but with views like that, who needs it outside! There is a large terrace to sit out on with a large table and gas BBQ. The only downside is the road below is busy and a little noisy. It's a 10 min walk into town, we never bothered with buses or a taxi. There are a lot of steps up to and in the house, and also down to the swimming area over the road, which is a great place to cool off and do some snorkelling. There are a couple of beaches 15 mins in either direction, one of which has a lovely restaurant overlooking the bay. Thank you Barry and Marjiana for a lovely stay.

Our very own Dubrovnik experience - amazing!

From the initial contact with the owner until our checkout it has gone so smoothly. There were 10 of us staying - all adults/blended family - and everyone of us loved it. Great ambience, every imaginable convenience available. We all just felt as though it was really our home. As well as a "spare" toilet on the kitchen level there were 5 other toilet/bathrooms. (4 of the bedrooms had ensuites and one family bathroom with bath on the top floor). Great spaces to congregate as well as private lounge room area and study on separate floors to go for quiet chats or hide from everybody else. Everything was spotless and in working order. Location suited us perfectly. Across the road and down the steps for a swim. An easy downhill stroll to the old town. Short back street walk to a supermarket. Ocean views from each floor.

Tremendous!

If you are looking for an idyllic location in Dubrovnik, this villa will not disappoint you. The location, about a quarter mile from the old city is a perfect distance to walk. The ocean views are remarkable. The villa was impeccably clean and has remarkable character with its marble stairs and outside terrace. It also comes equipped with a great number of creature comforts such as excellent air conditioning and a well-appointed kitchen. The bedrooms are spacious and the beds were quite comfortable. The bathrooms are up-to-date. We had 8 people in the house and you barely knew the other occupants were there. The owner's mother/mother-in-law was extremely helpful. She walked us through all we needed to know about the property and was very helpful during our stays with transportation, restaurant and excursion questions. The driver we used was the owner's referral and he and his colleagues were a terrific help given all of our comings and goings. We also left behind a pair of earrings and the owner located them and mailed them back to us! We wish to return very soon to Dubrovnik and we certainly will return to this villa!

Perfect vacation location

This is a beautiful home with a lot of history. We were a group of 10 and were very comfortable with plenty of room. Only a 15 min walk to Old Town, a swimming spot right across the street ( a lot of stairs). Easy Uber stop two doors up by the bus stop/ flower shop. Eci the house manager was a lovely woman and always available if needed. I would highly recommend signing up for this one!!

EPIC HOUSE, PERFECT LOCATION, & MAGICAL PLACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!

This place was amazing and Dubrovnik is magical! We had nine of us and we fit perfectly with room to spare. Barry & Marijana, the hosts, have put their special touches to the house with art and decorations. It’s an old world feel, with the comforts of today: AC in every room, hot water in every bathroom, gas stove, microwave etc. We celebrated our kids graduations from college and my niece’s 21st birthday and made memories that will last a lifetime. The swimming hole and cove across the street, as well as the 3/4 mile (1k) walk to the old city makes this the ideal location. The views of the sea, and being raised above the street provide beauty and privacy. There are some stairs which may be an issue for some people, but no worries for us, as the whole city is full of them. I have to mention the bells from the convent above us, that went off for at least a minute daily at 6am, and continue hourly til evening. Fratellos Prosecco Bar is only 75 meters away and was our meeting spot to close out almost everyday! The smoked old-fashions, Mediterranean Negroni, and Aperol Spritzers were spectacular! How perfect! I would stay here again 10 out of 10 times!

Amazing Villa

We spent 4 nights in this remarkable property. The house and grounds are just beautiful. Beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect. My kids loved jumping from the rocks to the sea across the street. The kitchen was fully equipped and the check in was easy. A lovely property manager met us and walked us through everything we needed to know.

Beautiful Old World Villa in Dubrovnik

Our family of 6 adults recently stayed in this charming villa located within walking distance to the old town of Dubrovnik. The villa is very spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed our time relaxing on the large front porch that overlooks the Adriatic Sea. Our hostess was attentive to our questions and was very helpful in booking our boat excursion.

Rustic Villa with charm

We were a group of 4 couples, of which this villa accommodated very well. It's key location makes it easy to get to the old city, cafe's and restaurants. But we ventured further and getting Uber's was very easy. However as someone else mentioned. there is no driveway or place to get picked up/dropped off as the doorway is off of a busy street. So we used the flower shop on the corner as our pick up/drop off spot and this worked very well. Can't emphasize the number of stairs, which I would not discourage from booking as this home is lovely, spacious and has so much charm...Thank you Eci for greeting us and making us feel welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic villa close to Old Town Dubrovnik

Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids) had ample room to spread out and relax in a great location (~12 min. walk to Old Town). The rooms (bed, bath, kitchen) were clean, and the owner was very responsive. The location is great with one caveat - there is no parking - so it makes getting dropped off or picked up a little tricky but still manageable. Strongly recommend for large families.

A wonderful family vacation

We had a wonderful stay at the villa. We were two families traveling together, with 4 kids total (ages 8-13) and this was the perfect property for us. Close to the city, beautiful views of the sea, and enough room to make everyone comfortable and relaxed for the whole vacation. The hosts and owners were so helpful and attentive, communicating ahead of time with recommended restaurants and a boat charter. They met us at check-in, helped with our luggage and showed us around the property. The house was well-appointed, kitchen was so useful to have, and the views from the terrace were amazing. Definitely worth booking this property and enjoying the amazing city of Dubrovnik!

Simply Enchanting!

We fell in love with this beautiful, we’ll-equipped villa located just a 10 minute walk from Dubrovnik’s Pile Gate. Villa Philomemena accommodated our group of 7 women comfortably, offering all the space we could wish for over its three floors and two levels of outdoor terracing—did we mention it overlooks the Adriatic? Whether looking for a beach, a bus, groceries or restaurants, amenities abound. The walled city beckons, the sea sparkles, the food is delicious and the Villa is just enchanting. Who could ask for anything more? ( For the seniors among us, there are many levels and many stairs, but they just add to the charm!)

This is a fantastic property which makes us stay into broke Nick very authentic. The house is solid, quality, and exudes history. It has all the amenities you could need, making for a very comfortable vacation. And the location is absolutely perfect… 10 to 15 minute walk to town and yet quiet. And though you may fantasize about a villa with a pool, you can mind that right across the street, you can go down some stairs and swim in some amazing waters.
