FIRST IMPRESSIONS: s its nae would suggest, the property is ore akin to a villa or private hoe than a hotel. t sits discreetly on a winding road leading towards the historic, walled centre, and with no obvious signage, you could easily walk past without knowing it was there. The welcoe was war and inviting, with staff taking the tie to enuire about y tie in ubrovnik and offering recoendations for good restaurants and bars. ut that level of service is to be epected fro a hotel with ust  roos and two suites.

EXPLORE: ead out on foot to eplore ubrovnik’s ld Town, which is a short able fro the hotel and an absolute ust. e warned though, it gets busy in the height of suer. or stunning views across the city and of the laphiti slands, head to the hills with ubrovnik able ars. or a different angle altogether, hire a private boat and venture to soe of the nearby islands to eperience roatia without hordes of tourists in tow.
