Perfect vacation location
This is a beautiful home with a lot of history. We were a group of 10 and were very comfortable with plenty of room. Only a 15 min walk to Old Town, a swimming spot right across the street ( a lot of stairs). Easy Uber stop two doors up by the bus stop/ flower shop. Eci the house manager was a lovely woman and always available if needed. I would highly recommend signing up for this one!!

EPIC HOUSE, PERFECT LOCATION, & MAGICAL PLACE FOR THE WHOLE FAMILY!!!
This place was amazing and Dubrovnik is magical! We had nine of us and we fit perfectly with room to spare. Barry & Marijana, the hosts, have put their special touches to the house with art and decorations. It’s an old world feel, with the comforts of today: AC in every room, hot water in every bathroom, gas stove, microwave etc. We celebrated our kids graduations from college and my niece’s 21st birthday and made memories that will last a lifetime. The swimming hole and cove across the street, as well as the 3/4 mile (1k) walk to the old city makes this the ideal location. The views of the sea, and being raised above the street provide beauty and privacy. There are some stairs which may be an issue for some people, but no worries for us, as the whole city is full of them. I have to mention the bells from the convent above us, that went off for at least a minute daily at 6am, and continue hourly til evening. Fratellos Prosecco Bar is only 75 meters away and was our meeting spot to close out almost everyday! The smoked old-fashions, Mediterranean Negroni, and Aperol Spritzers were spectacular! How perfect! I would stay here again 10 out of 10 times!

Amazing Villa
We spent 4 nights in this remarkable property. The house and grounds are just beautiful. Beds were very comfortable and the location is perfect. My kids loved jumping from the rocks to the sea across the street. The kitchen was fully equipped and the check in was easy. A lovely property manager met us and walked us through everything we needed to know.

Beautiful Old World Villa in Dubrovnik
Our family of 6 adults recently stayed in this charming villa located within walking distance to the old town of Dubrovnik. The villa is very spacious and comfortable. We especially enjoyed our time relaxing on the large front porch that overlooks the Adriatic Sea. Our hostess was attentive to our questions and was very helpful in booking our boat excursion.

We were a group of 10 friends staying in this great house.10 minute walk to old city. Highlight had to be the swimming, steep but very accessible set of stairs to wonderful swimming right across the street (swimming not suitable for children). House very clean, beds comfy, kitchen well equipped. Thanks so much!

Rustic Villa with charm
We were a group of 4 couples, of which this villa accommodated very well. It's key location makes it easy to get to the old city, cafe's and restaurants. But we ventured further and getting Uber's was very easy. However as someone else mentioned. there is no driveway or place to get picked up/dropped off as the doorway is off of a busy street. So we used the flower shop on the corner as our pick up/drop off spot and this worked very well. Can't emphasize the number of stairs, which I would not discourage from booking as this home is lovely, spacious and has so much charm...Thank you Eci for greeting us and making us feel welcomed. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic villa close to Old Town Dubrovnik
Our two families (4 adults, 5 kids) had ample room to spread out and relax in a great location (~12 min. walk to Old Town). The rooms (bed, bath, kitchen) were clean, and the owner was very responsive. The location is great with one caveat - there is no parking - so it makes getting dropped off or picked up a little tricky but still manageable. Strongly recommend for large families.

A wonderful family vacation
We had a wonderful stay at the villa. We were two families traveling together, with 4 kids total (ages 8-13) and this was the perfect property for us. Close to the city, beautiful views of the sea, and enough room to make everyone comfortable and relaxed for the whole vacation. The hosts and owners were so helpful and attentive, communicating ahead of time with recommended restaurants and a boat charter. They met us at check-in, helped with our luggage and showed us around the property. The house was well-appointed, kitchen was so useful to have, and the views from the terrace were amazing. Definitely worth booking this property and enjoying the amazing city of Dubrovnik!

We had the most amazing time in this incredible villa, Everything was perfect from start to finish. A 15 minute stroll to the ancient walls with breathtaking views. We bought a 3 day pass for entrance to walls and busses costing €45. Well worth it if you struggle with walking as it’s up hill coming home. Amazing restaurants recommended by the owner of the villa. We also hired a boat through Dubrovnik Boats for the day and explored the Elaphiti Islands and had lunch on Sipan Island, fabulous restaurant recommendation by skipper and it was incredible! Not to expensive at all. We could have easily spent another 4 days exploring there is so much to do! We had a full day before our flight home and used a company called Baggage and Smile Porter service to come and collect our luggage, they brought it down all the steps and took it away for €30, each case was €15 a day. We had a wonderful day relaxing on the beach. For another €45 they took the four of us to the airport! Absolutely amazing service! Highly recommend this incredible villa! Thank you from 8 very happy ladies x

A beautiful old home with ample room for a large family. Ocean views and a short walk down a hill that will help your aerobic fitness ;) Would highly recommend!!! One note - the bells from the church next door started at 6am and sometimes rang for three minutes. If you have young children or light sleepers this might be an issue. It wasn’t for us.

Simply Enchanting!
We fell in love with this beautiful, we’ll-equipped villa located just a 10 minute walk from Dubrovnik’s Pile Gate. Villa Philomemena accommodated our group of 7 women comfortably, offering all the space we could wish for over its three floors and two levels of outdoor terracing—did we mention it overlooks the Adriatic? Whether looking for a beach, a bus, groceries or restaurants, amenities abound. The walled city beckons, the sea sparkles, the food is delicious and the Villa is just enchanting. Who could ask for anything more? ( For the seniors among us, there are many levels and many stairs, but they just add to the charm!)

Traditional charm in an amazing location
This is a fantastic property which makes us stay into broke Nick very authentic. The house is solid, quality, and exudes history. It has all the amenities you could need, making for a very comfortable vacation. And the location is absolutely perfect… 10 to 15 minute walk to town and yet quiet. And though you may fantasize about a villa with a pool, you can mind that right across the street, you can go down some stairs and swim in some amazing waters.

Historical Villa with great local charm and character! Agree with other reviews on lots of stairs and the busy street but both were manageable for us. The Villa is adequately separated (upward) from the street and the windows minimize street noise. Such spectacular sea views, plenty of space for our group of five, furnished well and good location about 10 minute walk to Pile gate. Owners are helpful and responsive. They put me in touch with a local guide who was wonderful!

AMAZING Property in Dubrovnik!!
One of the best and most unique vacation properties I've ever stayed in! This property completely and comfortably accommodated our large group of 12. It's such an amazing house, so much history and character with incredible sea views and atmosphere. Also very clean with comfy furniture, cozy nooks and rooms everywhere. Also an extremely well stocked kitchen and a great Weber grill on the terrace. The AC (in every room!) made the entire house comfortable during the Aug heat. The outdoor terrace and gardens with fig and pomegranate trees, was just gorgeous. It's inly a 10 min walk down the hill to the Pile Gate or a two min ride back up from on one of the many and frequent local buses that run on the road in front of the house. Also great swimming and cliff jumping down the steps below the house (lots of steps!!). Hosts, Barry and Marijana were just incredible and went out of their way to make us feel welcome. They were always available with a quick text or email to answer any questions or issues that might arise, so kind and professional. They even made a reservation for our large group at a wonderful restaurant that they recommended on our last night. Truly incredible. This property is just perfect for large groups of family and friends. Again, this was one of the best VRBO rentals I've ever stayed in. Highly recommended!

The villa is in a great location and very quaint ! 10-15 minute walk to old town. Be prepared for many steps going into the house and the house itself. There are no hand railings so might not be good for older folks. Also there is a Church next door which rings it bells at 7 am daily and every half hour on Sundays. The view from the villa is amazing. We all enjoyed our stay!

Excellent Visit to Villa Filomena with Friends from Ohio
We recently stayed in the villa as part of an extended bike/boat vacation along the Dalmatian Coast. Let me just say, this property was AMAZING! We had 4 couples in their 50's and could have easily had one more couple. The house is beautiful ! The outside grounds are fabulous, the inside is just as fabulous! There is a sitting room on each level, great bedrooms and bathrooms, spotlessly clean and such CHARM! Mrs. Eci Dejana is the loveliest of all. She met ius at the bus stop where the Uber dropped us. She was delightful and very helpful in every way. She checked on us each day and responded to any questions we had quickly. We would love to go back someday and highly recommend to any travellers. Its a short walk to Dubrovnik, and in a safe and convenient location. I will say that if you have any issues with stairs, this property is not for you. There are several from the street to the main floor, then two more flights once inside the house to get to the top floor where there are three more bedrooms. We liked the exercise, so it was no issue for our group. Thank you again for a lovely stay!
