Great location, warm family atmosphere and a great view. Best value!

Review of Villa Gloria
5.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 07 Sept 2015
We booked last minute and got lucky with this place. Immaculate condition (clean and everything worked), efficient a/c and a balcony overlooking the old town made for two. It could not have been better. Once you have walked the 100 steps (not for senior citizens or sedentary types) from the accommodation, you're a few paces away from the heart of the old town and great restaurants. This is the perfect base to use for exploring Dubrovnik and surrounds. Just around the corner is the cable car that will take you to the restaurant with the best view and the war museum (fascinating). The pool was a bonus and a welcome place to go after a long day. Given the opportunity, I would go back there.
Date of stay: August 2015
Room Tip: If you're a couple, ask for the top room with the balcony overlooking the old town.

We stayed for five nights beginng of July in top apartment and loved it! Views were stunning, apartment very clean and perfectly adequate. Lots of steps which helped keep the weight down and then short stroll to entrance to town. We also ate in one night as it was so relaxing watching yachts, kayaks and some days cruise ships in the bay. Would return at drop of a hat! A big thank you to perfect hosts for their kindness and hospitality.

Room tip: The top apartment had beautiful views!

We stayed for 3 nights in one of the Garden apartments and we loved it. This is family run and it shows in the way they look after you. We felt right at home. The location is ideal for the old town (there are some stairs as others have mentioned but Dubrovnik is built into a hill - there are stairs everywhere.) We were welcomed with a beer and a seat with a beautiful view. I will definitely book this on any return visit.

the owners were really nice people and the place, although simple was really what we wanted..a nice clean place to stay near the old city..the climb to the apartment was somewhat challenging..quite a few stairs....but this too can be overcome..we recommend this spot

We stayed 4 nights at Villa Gloria after having a friend recommend it.. We had a car with us and they arranged parking next door for us (yeah!) The owner is friendly and helpful. She even wanted to help with our luggage.

Yes there are a lot of stairs! But once down them, you are so close to the old town. It's a perfect location.

The apartment we stayed in was simple and had everything we needed. The bathroom was tiny, the air conditioning worked great, and there was a 2 person couch in addition to a small table and 2 chairs. Outside there was a patio table and chairs and a drying rack for clothes.

The apartment was clean when we arrived. This is not a hotel - they didnt clean or change towels during our stay. The grounds are pretty with flowers blooming and feels like a retreat within the city.

I highly recommend Villa Gloria if you are able to walk stairs. Just pack light!

A quiet beautiful hotel very close to the old city. Nice garden to relax in during the day. We had a room with great views over the city and ocean. They did not clean during our stay (2 nights) but that might have been a coincidence as the room was spotless when we arrived. The beds were a little firm. A great stay. Will stay again if I come back to dubrovnik. A great deal.
