Villa Perla

If you want plenty of space and appreciate unique accommodations, Hotel Villa Perla is the choice for you! After this experience, I wouldn't ever stay at the big hotels in Dubrovnik. We are couple over 60 (writer 66). There is no restaurant at Perla, but we didn't even miss one. You can easily make breakfast and other meals yourself. The kitchen is equipped with a fridge, kettle, stove, and coffee maker. The apartment includes a living room, bedroom, bathroom, and a spacious balcony. The service is excellent: daily cleaning, and fresh linens once a week. You can also do your own laundry using the washing machine. The hotel's location is also fantastic. Lapad beach, the promenade, and local amenities are right nearby. Public transport, like the bus to the Old Town or elsewhere, is very convenient. You can also take boat trips, for example to Cavtat. Hotel Villa Perla is an excellent option for travelers looking for something more than standardized hotel rooms, and who want to enjoy a custom holiday without watching the clock!

Very clean hotel. Rooms were cleant each day. Great location only few steps away from beach bulevard. Friendly host, who even brought us wine bottles one evening. We can higly recomment this hotel!!!!

Villa Perla is a small, clean and generally quiet apartment hotel on the Lapad peninsula about 4 km from Dubrovnik old town. It is located a couple of hundred meters from the nearest beach and supermarkets and there is a reasonably priced car rental shop right across the street. There are restaurants all over the peninsula and a couple close to the hotel. The elderly owner and his wife seemed to run the place by themselves, but everything was kept in immaculate condition. Towels were changed every other day and bedding once during our one week stay. The well-equipped kitchen lacked only scissors and a dishrag. Free sparkling water and juice were waiting in the fridge. Our tourist guide said the water in the region is chalky but we found the tap water drinkable and didn't notice an aftertaste. Our bathroom was a bit on the small side but ventilated well. There was no hairdryer and only two small sachets of shampoo and a tub of handsoap were provided, so better bring your own toiletries. The air freshener in the toilet bowl was so pungent it could easily induce an allergic reaction (the smell was powerful in the rest of the apartment as well), but the cleaner doesn't put it back if you take it out and the smell dissipates in a couple of hours. The owner doesn't speak much English but enough to get by. He's very friendly and let us park our rental car in his three-car parking area. You'll be expected to pay the tourist tax upon departure (cash, both kunas and euros accepted), but don't expect a receipt. Most evenings there was a concert of sorts on the beach downhill, and the noise travels. Our room didn't face the beach so we were fine but you may need earplugs if your room is on the beach side. There is also a tennis court close to the beach that has a rather blinding light directed towards the hotel, but luckily the window shutters are sturdy and the light is turned off at around 9.30 pm. The area is an expensive tourist trap that I didn't particularly like (will not visit again) but still, I can recommend this hotel if someone is heading that way.
