Rooms Raič

Tucked into the residential slope of Ploče above Dubrovnik's Old Town, Rooms Raič sits on Bruna Busića, a ten-minute walk from the city walls and Banje beach — a quieter base for travellers who'd rather skip the cruise-day crowds funneling through Pile Gate.

The four-star guesthouse keeps a small footprint: a handful of rooms, most with balconies catching the Adriatic over neighboring rooftops rather than a sea-facing car park.

Buses along Frana Supila connect directly to the ferry port, and the walk down into the Old Town is easy, though the return climb is steeper than it looks on a map.
