Villa Orsula

There's no modern hotel gimmickry going on at this boutique property; no tech-y gadgets; no funky design in the lighting or shower. Just eleven spacious rooms and two suites set in a stone Mediterranean villa from the 1930s. Sure, there's in-room check-in, a very friendly, professional staff and complimentary Wi-Fi. But it's all about one thing here: the view. Set on a cliff just above Dubrovnik's walled Old Town, the hotel's views are worth double what you pay to lay your head on one of its cushy pillows.
