About this property

near Dubrovnik City Walls

Although situated within arms' reach of the bustling center, the apartment will make guests feel miles away from the summer crowds as they relax on the quiet private terrace and gaze at the majestic centuries-old walls of Old Town, with views of the sea and the cable car just opposite.
It has character and a lovely open shared space where you can enjoy sunset drinks with amazing view.
The apartment occupies the ground floor of an historic house that dates back to the 1600's and was one of the first houses to be built outside of the Old Town. The newly-renovated living room is furnished in a style that echoes the house’s long history, yet has been updated with modern conveniences like air conditioning, good a/c, Strong wi-fi Internet and flat-panel TV.
Off of the living room there are two full bathrooms (one with Jacuzzi, the other with shower), bedroom with queen bed, another bedroom with two single beds, and a separate full kitchen. At the back of the apartment there is another bedroom with queen bed, a bedroom with one single bed, and a 3rd bathroom with shower (please note that this bathroom, while functional, is bare-bones and should therefore be considered an extra convenience).
The queen and the single bedrooms are simple, tidy, and functional, while the double bedroom with 2 twin beds, which looks out onto the terrace, has been renovated and is nicely decorated in a classic style with rich mahogany furniture. The terrace is partly covered—thereby appealing to shade-seekers and sun-lovers alike—and is equipped with a table and chairs and a traditional stone barbecue.
Emma apartment sleeps 7 with the possibility of 2 additional guests* (2 on the living room sofa bed).
Amenities include air conditioning in the living room and three bedrooms, except one small single bed room. This room is equipped with a ceiling fan.
Besides, the apartment’s thick stone walls and shaded position keep it remarkably cool!
Free Wi-Fi, satellite TV, dishwasher, microwave, kettle, washing machine, baby cot, high chair (those 2 items are on request).
It is perfect for a good sized group up to 7 or 8 people.
Our house manager is 24/7 on to the disposal to our guests.
But we don't want to disturb our guests and we are like a shadows. Always there when you need us but you never see us.
You will be delighted with the comfortable surroundings, the closeness to the old town. The Buza gate entrance to Old Town is less than 150 m from the apartment. From there, a descent down a long staircase leads right to the main street Stradun. Guests who want to avoid stairs can use the Ploce gate entrance, which is only 2-3 minutes' walking distance from the apartment.
All amenities you need are within minutes including, ATM, liquor store, the supermarket is about 300 left out of the apartment., a bakery and a newsagent is literally 10 m.
You can be delighted with the morning trips to the nearby bakery for delicious pasties and coffee, and to another little fruit store where we enjoyed fresh apples, nuts and apricots.
Emma's cottage is located very close to the bus station to different directions. Where from you can make short term excursions to Cavtat, Konavle, ...
We also offer airport transfers, and private tours in the area of Montenegro or Mostar!

The property was excellent for our multi generation family vacation. The patio overlooking the old city walls was beautiful. Very comfortable inside with lots of room for everyone. We spent many evenings in the outdoor space enjoying the view. The host, Darko, made the check in experience very easy and provided many recommendations for places to visit. We would recommend this property and hope to visit again! Thank you for the wonderful experience!

We thoroughly enjoyed our time at Darko‘s beautiful home. He was extremely responsive to all of our requests. He spent time educating us on the surrounding areas upon our arrival. This is nearly a 500 year-old property and it is gorgeous. It’s nicely located next-door to bakeries, pizzerias, and takeout restaurants. The sky tram is directly across the street. It’s an easy walk into Old town. I hope you enjoy your stay here as much as we did.

We have stayed at many Vrbo, but Darko was the most attentive host we have ever had. The location is idea, easy walk with few stairs to walled city. The view from the terrace was hard to leave. The apartment was old world perfect with all amenities, sleeping for 7. Darko gave us great advice about where to eat, where to go and what to see. Great place.

We loved Emma’s cottage! The location could not be beat! Darko, the host, met us at check-in and went out of his way to help us have a wonderful time in Dubrovnik with personal recommendations for restaurants, sites, and even the right ATMs to use! He also helped us arrange transportation to and from his property. The property is well equipped for small groups w 3 bathrooms and 5 beds. The highlight for us (4 women traveling together) was the lovely outside deck area. We whole heartedly recommend Emma’s Cottage in Dubrovnik!

Wonderful location and home very close to the city walls. The home was perfect for us (6 adults, ranging from late 50s to mid 20s). There not a lot of steps if you follow darko’s recommended path back). It was close to the beach and very close to the town. There are good bakeries nearby for pastries or croissants in the morning. The cable car is also very close and worth doing at least one time. We did several tours we booked on line and they were all able to pick us up at the cable car stop, which was very convenient. Darko is a wonderful host and happy to help with anything you need.
