A House with a Secret Garden

A House with a Secret Garden

Finding budget accommodation in Dubrovnik, and everywhere along the Dalmation Coast, at the tail end of high season proved difficult. (Tip: book well in advance!) I finally found this private accommodation listed somewhere online, and while it wasn’t very cheap, it was an excellent value for the price and we were very happy with it.

The young husband-and-wife team offers a number of rooms, many with private bathrooms, all of which are very cute and clean. The house’s highlights, though, are the patio and gardens; walking through the gate from the street feels like walking into an oasis. It’s a really lovely setting, and one that’s unexpected after seeing the house’s modest and almost hidden entrance. When we were there, our hosts’ young child and parents were enjoying the outdoors as much as we were.

The location is in Gruz, a beautiful neighborhood hugging a marina, but a bit of a long, hilly walk to the tourist attractions of Dubrovnik’s old town. There’s a bus stop nearby, though, and the trip doesn’t take long at all that way—maybe 10 minutes. We also took a taxi once, which was even quicker (though not cheap). The rooms also come with free parking in an adjacent (but not secure) lot.

Our affable hosts were full of recommendations for their city, from museums to restaurants to bars, and were helpful in getting us on our way. Their neighborhood has everything a traveler needs, like banks and food stores.

Overall, we had a good stay here, and I could imagine staying even longer and enjoying the immediate neighborhood at a more relaxed pace.
