About the host
Hosted by Ann Myriam
Hello, I’m Ann Myriam, born in Belgium and living in Croatia since 1997. Even before I met my Croatian husband, I fell in love with Dubrovnik and its incredible history. I studied Croatian literature and culture and obtained a master-after-master in business communication - somehow it all led me here, doing what I love with people I admire, sharing my passion with guests from all over the world.
It was Peter, my husband, who brought me back to the idyllic islands of the Dubrovnik Republic, and my father who shared my dream of renovating the summer manor of an aristocratic family on Šipan. It took us years to restore it, but thanks to Peter’s patience and perseverance, not one, but three authentic, historic properties came back to life.
At first, we even considered selling them — but who could abandon what they’ve cared for so deeply? Instead, we decided to share the beauty and uniqueness of these typical properties with visitors from abroad. Opening our homes and gardens to guests and offering hospitality with heart became our way of participating in the reconstruction of Croatia after the Homeland War — and we’ve never regretted it.
We have been blessed to welcome so many wonderful guests to our villas, to introduce them to our history and traditions, organise their stay, and show them around. The villas are our love story, and it brings us joy when guests take that story home with them, satisfied with their Croatian experience. We hope you too will soon immerse yourself in our culture and enjoy our Mediterranean lifestyle!

Why they chose this property
Let’s say the neighbourhood chose us. I have always been fascinated by the incredible history and achievements of the Republic of Dubrovnik. Its Old City, and the culture within its walls and at sea, have inspired me since my student years. The stunning nature and magical archipelago impress me anew in every season.
The beauty of Dubrovnik and the tranquillity of the Elaphite Islands, and especially the peacefulness of Šipan, combined with their rich history, always put me in a grateful mood. Life feels deeper when it slows down in the little harbours along the coast or breathes in the bloom of our estate’s garden plants.
Here, I get the best of both worlds: the hustle and bustle of a cultural city, and the endless horizon of a verdant island.
I feel free and happy when I can stroll along the small streets of the Old City, wander the hills and plain of Šipan, attend a good festival, and pick Mediterranean fruits and herbs in nature. I love the laughter of playful children and the gentle hum of butterflies in the stillness of our Renaissance garden.
Each of our properties has something special. What makes them unique is their authenticity — original, thoughtful, and deeply connected to the region’s past. They are genuine testimonies of Dubrovnik’s heritage, and each one lets our guests feel a little closer to it.
While each property tells its own story and offers its own experience — their beauty, history, and lifestyle gently shape your story.

What makes this property unique
Our three villas aren’t just places to stay — they’re homes we personally own, care for, and have spent years renovating with love. Each one reflects the authentic beauty of Dubrovnik and its surroundings, from Mediterranean gardens to thoughtfully restored interiors.
What sets us apart is the experience we offer, not just the walls. Every guest has their own guardian angel at hand, ensuring a truly personal stay. We combine comfort, style, and privacy with a deep connection to the local culture: wandering neighbourhoods, tasting the region, and feeling Dubrovnik’s history come alive.
Our team is small but truly devoted. Romana knows our villas inside out and manages every detail seamlessly. Kristina crafts itineraries and discreetly follows guests throughout their stay. Mrs. Lana and Mrs. Mima bring warmth, tradition, and care to every corner of our properties. Peter and Marko ensure the gardens and logistics are flawless. And I lead this team with gratitude, sharing the love we have for this region with every guest.
We are a family business, guided by heart as much as professionalism. Our villas, personal touch, and dedication to authentic experiences make every stay unique, memorable, and genuinely ours. We can’t wait to welcome you and share our corner of the planet with you!
