For generations, Dubrovnik has been known as the Pearl of the Adriatic and in the fifteenth century it was very much a rival to Venice. The city loves to party as proved by their Summer Festival, which is an amazing 45 days long! A Dubrovnik city centre (center) apartment would certainly be a great place to be staying during it, as there are plays, concerts and games going on the whole time. Their patron saint’s day – St Blaise, February 3 – also manages to last a long time, and it is well worth being in a Dubrovnik holiday rental to coincide.

Holidaying in a Dubrovnik serviced apartment gives you the very best of both worlds, a beautiful city with churches and beautiful architecture, and glorious beaches with an offshore island for good measure. Although staying in a Dubrovnik holiday let you are at the heart of a medieval city, the devastating earthquake of 1667 destroyed almost all of it, so all the large buildings post date it. Despite the earthquake, there are still 2 kilometres of city wall, with towers and they are well worth a visit.

Dubrovnik enjoys a Mediterranean climate, so although the winters are a little cooler than the summers, a booking in a Dubrovnik serviced flat will always be worthwhile because there is so much to see. The world’s oldest arboretum, the Arboretum Trsteno known to have been begun before 1492 is in the city as is one of the oldest pharmacies in the world, still in use in the Little Brothers monastery. A Dubrovnik aparthotel will put you at the hub of a very exciting city and if you are lucky enough to be high on the hill, the view over the red tiled roofs to the sea is stunning.

The island just off Dubrovnik is called Lokrum and is well worth a visit while you are staying in a Dubrovnik short stay apartment. It is easy to get to and has a fortress, a botanical garden, a monastery and, not uncommonly for Adriatic resorts, a naturist beach. There is a legend that Richard the Lionheart was washed ashore there after being shipwrecked in the twelfth century and like so many legends may have a kernel of truth in it. Many famous writers, artists and thinkers have visited Dubrovnik and have been entranced by its beauty and atmosphere. When you are staying in your Dubrovnik holiday apartment, you will soon feel the same.
