Karmens House Apartment, Dubrovnik, Croatia

Hotel Description:
An original Venetian town house 'lost' in the old heart of Dubrovnik. This delightful and cosy Venetian town house near the Music School has led something of a charmed life as it predates the 1667 earthquake, built as it is on solid stone, and it also luckily escaped damage during the siege. loading...

The main attraction is its location; its right in the heart of the old town and just a few minutes walk from the market, restaurants, bars, museums and the old port (from which you can take a short ride to the nearby island of Lokrum). It’s also just five minutes from the Pile Gate from which you can get buses to most places in the area and also from where most tour operators run their excursions. This includes trips to Montenegro and Bosnia, both of which are highly recommended.

Although there are no beaches nearby, a trip to the island of Lokrum costs what translates as a few pounds and you can easily spend time relaxing on the beaches there (stony) or at its inland lagoon. You can also go to the large port (a short bus ride) and arrange trips to larger islands, such as Lopud, which has sandy beaches.

There are lots to see in the Old Town itself, both day and the night. Just about everywhere speaks English.

The house itself is reasonably furnished and has all mod cons. We did not have much call for it, but I can imagine the air conditioning is very handy in the hotter months. Although self catering, Karmen who escorts you from the city gates to the house, provides some basic amenities to get you started. However, with the large number of restaurants within walking distance I don’t think there should need for cooking. Despite this the resort itself can also be quite expensive.

If you are looking for some bargains to bring home, try the day trip to Bosnia.
