A wonderful oasis to stay at in the heart of busy Dubrovnik. We loved our time at Villa Bruna

Our hosts were very friendly and helpful. The villa was very clean and comfortable. That swimming pool was an absolute delight - a memorable stay for all of us

Family home with all the holiday facilities and close to everything for exploring.

We were a dispersed family gathered for a biannual get together. The house was superb, the host was very responsive and helpful. We could happily occupy ourselves for full “Villa” days but also explore everything close by. Shopping had many options close by.

Great place! A gem in Dubrovnik area!

The place is amazing! Despite the proximity of Dubrovnik, it provides a quiet holiday. Home furnishings are of the highest quality, and the layout and equipment of the rooms fantastic. Owners very helpful and exceptionally friendly. I have no doubt I recommend this place to everyone

Wonderful stay at Villa Bruna, you walk in and are immediately greeted by the lovely pool and garden area. Outdoor dining and chill out chairs were also perfect for our group of 12. Inside is beautiful, warm and welcoming with character. We couldn't of hoped for a better stay and it surpassed our expectations. Rafela and Pero are perfect hosts and arranged our transfer from the airport and answered any questions quickly, thank you both we will be back!

Family wedding Villa

Large Villa with plenty of space and rooms for two large families. Lovely large yard, beautiful large pool. The hosts were very accommodating and were gracious to stock the kitchen (we paid, of course). Very close to all the places you want to explore!

Lovely property. Nice swimming pool and lovely rooms. Contact with the owner is good and they do try to resolve any issues and accommodate us. The only thing I assumed is that it is not a heated pool as indicated. The water was on the cold side but all in all a fantastic property. Would definitely go back again.

Beautiful House, Perfect Location

The whole experience was wonderful. The house is great. The pool and barbecue area is perfect. Location is walkable to town. Bakery just walking distance and supermarket close. Lovely Prosecco bar with amazing views. Rafaela super nice and attentive. Thank you for sharing your parents house and making our stay so magical

Lovely villa. Our grandsons of 7 and 10 spent hours in the pool. Everyone enjoyed the outdoor area where we had many bbqs. Rafaela was very helpful and we all appreciated the bowls of fruit and sweets as well as drinks in the fridge which greeted us on our arrival. A 10/15 minute walk to the Old Town meant we could easily pop out for a stroll around or to buy some delicious ice-cream. A perfect villa in an ideal location.

We had the most fabulous time at Villa Bruna!! Our three families were so spoiled by this experience. It truly is a magnificent place in a very central location. Rafaela was so kind and obliging. We also loved the little bar across the road and the Prosecco bar nearby. If we’re not back, it will be through no lack of trying. If you’re thinking of booking, this is your sign. If is absolutely as wonderful as it looks in the photos

Just Brilliant!

Wonderful property, fantastic hosts, very warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble for them both before we arrived and during our stay. Pero and Rafaela were a joy to have as hosts, extremely friendly from beginning to end. The villa's pool is an oasis in the midst of a city. The villa itself is extremely well equipped and laid out. Beds a dream, we all slept like logs. Location perfect for easy access to the old town, grocery shops, and a prosecco bar with great view of the sea almost next door. We had the time of our lives and enjoyed a perfect combination of relaxing around the pool and taking advantage of the activities on offer in the fantastic town of Dubrovnik. We can't recommend the villa highly enough and wouldn't hesitate to return. Thank you Pero and Rafaela for providing us with a perfect place to relax and unwind from some otherwise busy lives! You have a gem there, we absolutely LOVED Villa Bruna!

A wonderful stay!

Top notch from the moment We started the booking process till we left. We loved everything about this wonderful property, especially the outside area. We thoroughly enjoyed the pool, eating outside, and the wonderful seating area. We really appreciated the little touches from the fruit and wine that we’re waiting upon arrival to not having to buy laundry detergent and other basic necessities. Highly recommend this house for your stay. We loved our visit!!

Classy Place in the Perfect Location!!

What can I say…this place is a touch of class, pure and simple! After traveling for 2 weeks throughout Croatia, our group was tired by the time we got to Dubrovnik and this place was truly a relaxing place…so relaxing we didn’t leave the villa for 2 days and as a result didn’t get to see Dubrovnik as much as we would have liked!! Lol. Only improvement I can think of would be the bedsheets could have been softer…thus if that’s my only complaint you know this place is worth checking out! Thanks Pero for the amazing stay!

Perfect vacation home

Our group of 4 couples absolutely loved this house. It was clean, airy, and comfortable. AC worked well. Pool was perfect, and the out door spaces under the grape arbors were great to sit under after a day of exploring the old town. There is a little noise from the nearby road, but the house is so well constructed you don't hear it inside. Highly recommend!

Dubrovnik is beautiful

The Old Town is beautiful and we thoroughly enjoyed our time wandering the streets. It pays to get off the beaten track if you want it a little less crowded. The cable car is a must, as is Lokrum. Bruna Villa is everything it says it is and although there will always be an element of uncertainty when booking it took just moments to realise we had chosen well. Rafaela was on hand to welcome us and the week went like clockwork. We were not disappointed in any way.

This villa is amazing, it’s stunning, it has everything you need and to a very high standard.

Had a group of 10 ladies staying here for 4 nights in this villa. We had an amazing time, everything about the villa is fantastic. 10 mins walk to the main old town. Owners are really helpful. The inside and out is all so lovely. I would fully recommend to anyone to stay here. We loved every minute of our stay . Thank you .

Well-eqquipded. The location was good, with easy access to the old town and to the beach/ocean. The owners was very friendly and helpful. I would definitely book it again.

Wonderful!

We have recently returned home after spending a week at Villa Bruna. It was a holiday to celebrate a "big birthday" for an extended family of nine with an age range of 6 to 70. Online Villa Bruna looked as though it might fit the bill with the grounds and the number of bedrooms and bathrooms, but when we arrived it was even better than the photos had led us to believe. The outside area is stunning, with plenty of space for 3 separate households to have privacy when needed, or to socialise when in the pool or eating and relaxing in the very large courtyard area. The property was clean and well maintained inside and out. Flowers and fruit were waiting for us on arrival as was Raphaela, who welcomed us and showed us around the property. She told us about local shops and how to get to Dubrovnik Old Town. She was always contactable by phone or text for advice and responded very quickly. It was our first visit to Dubrovnik and we loved it! The Croatian coast has so much to offer and we only scratched the surface in the time that we were there. Not only would we recommend this villa and this area to friends, we can't wait to return ourselves! Thank you Raphaela and Pero for giving us a holiday that will be remembered for many years to come.
