Dubrovnik Luxury Residence - L'Orangerie

Dubrovnik Luxury Residence - L'Orangerie is a four-star aparthotel on Ulica žrtava s Dakse in Lapad, three minutes' walk from Lapad Beach, in Croatia's Dubrovnik-Neretva region. The Lapad peninsula lies west of the Old Town, and city buses run from the area to the Pile Gate in roughly fifteen to twenty minutes. The property offers about 20 apartments rather than conventional hotel rooms, in one-, two- and three-bedroom layouts, each with a kitchen, which suits families, small groups and longer stays. Indicative rates are about €150 to €400 per night, depending on apartment size and season. The building is set in a residential street with a garden, and amenities include a bar, wifi, air conditioning and an airport transfer available for an extra charge. The character is quiet and residential, with guests rated highly at 4.7, and the service is more personal than at larger resorts because of the small size. Self-catering is practical here, since Lapad has supermarkets, bakeries and a fish market within reach, and the promenade provides a range of restaurants for evenings out. The apartments suit travellers who want space, a garden and a kitchen, but there is no large pool or spa, and there is no on-site restaurant listed. Guests who want the Old Town atmosphere should plan for bus or taxi trips, while those mainly seeking beaches and a calm base will find Lapad Beach and the promenade close. Summer stays book early, and the three-bedroom apartments are the first to be taken for family groups. Spring and autumn offer lower rates and comfortable temperatures for walking the walls and the old streets.
