These accommodations may be adjacent or separate from the owner’s own residence. They are furnished and are most often strategically located to take full advantage of the city’s majestic seascapes.
The cuisine of the city of Dubrovnik takes full advantage of the sea’s abundance; fresh seafood that is either boiled or grilled and seasoned with herbs and olive oil.
