Our sea-view villa in Dubrovnik was part of the Grand Villa Argentina complex, and it is embedded with the same spirit. Historic and architecturally striking, the three-floor Villa Glavić offers complete privacy, with spectacular views over the Adriatic Sea and across to Dubrovnik Old Town. Within walking distance of the ancient city walls, its premium location in the most exclusive enclave in Dubrovnik offers complete tranquillity. Villa Glavić combines the personalised touch of a boutique property with the five-star service of a world-class hotel. With only 21 elegant rooms, guests staying here have complementary access to all of Grand Villa Argentina's facilities across the road, while being able to retreat to peaceful luxury.

Villa Glavic is an annexe to the Grand Hotel Argentina, so you get all the benefits of the main hotel but with a quiet room in a building on the opposite side of the road.
The location is excellent, an easy walk to the old city walls so you can explore in the morning, go back to the hotel for a swim and to freshen up before hitting town again for dinner.
Check in is at the Argentina. Staff are friendly and helpful. They show you over to the Glavic and carry your cases for you.
There is a flight of steps up to the Glavic entrance. We were on the ground floor but if you are on either of the upper floors you should be aware there is no lift. The room itself was surprisingly spacious with good-sized ensuite bathroom. Plenty of wardrobe and drawer space, easily accessible power sockets, reliable free wifi. Decor was maybe a little dated but so what, it was very clean, the aircon worked well and the bed was extremely comfortable.
Breakfast is on the 4th floor balcony at the Argentina, with excellent sea view. It's buffet style with a wide choice of hot and cold food.
The Argentina has an outdoor pool on the ground floor (note that it's an "upside down" hotel in that reception is on the 6th floor at street level whereas the ground floor is at sea level). There are in fact two pools. One option is a roped off section of the sea which you can enter either by jumping/diving or by using fixed ladders. The whole of this "pool" is deep so you won't be able to stand. Obviously it's also subject to tides and can be a little choppy. The other option is a pool which is great for cooling down in hot weather but which is small, not very deep and offers little opportunity for swimming. If you prefer a beach, then there's a public beach half way between the hotel and the old town.
The staff by the pool are extremely helpful. They provide towels and organise sunbeds and sunshades. We never had a problem finding space.
As for negatives, well I can't actually think of any worth mentioning. Definitely recommended.
Finally, beware it can be very hot from late June until the end of August so exploring the old town can be more tiring than you expect. There are regular cruise ships so the town can become very busy. Must dos: city walls and trip to Kravice falls

Great location for us and the pool and ocean access was a huge plus. We were aware that the pool was across the street and part of the Hotel Argentina. The Pool restaurant and head waiter Vendran(spelling could be wrong) were top notch. The food was most enjoyable and excellent service.
The rooms could use a refresh as carpet is quite worn but we were there for balcony view and rest. Housekeeping staff were very accommodating with requests.

Nice hotel whit good location. Staff was wery friendly. But we wondered why the pool had not been cleaned properly, There was quire a lot of algate at the bottom of the pool, disgusting. Sea was great!
The hotel's restaurants were quite expensive and a one hour massage at the hotels spa woud have cost 210e. Was this a joke?
Breakfast was good and the sea view from the restaurant was amazing.

This hotel is a tail of two halves. It’s got aspects which are 5 star (the staff - exceptional, the views - amazing, the food - fantastic) but the majority is a lower end 4 star. I think the best way to describe the hotel is like a 20 year old cruise ship. Was once the height of sophistication but is now tired and old. The rooms are in desperate need of an uplift. They still give bed spreads (which they confirmed they do not wash between guests so sit on that at your own peril) and the shower is over the bath. I haven’t had to step into a bath in a five star hotel for a shower for many years, an experience that would have been less painful had the shower head stayed fixed and not stop falling down from the weight.

I think the old saying is you get what you pay for and it’s perfect for summarising here. The excelsior down the road was much more a 5 star hotel, but then that comes with a greater price tag so just decide what’s important to you on this trip. The money saved could mean an epic time doing fab trips or it could not be worth getting woken up at 6 am as the curtains are broken and don’t span the length of the whole window to stop the light coming in. All personal choices.

Not sure why there have been no reviews since September 22, but here's a more current one! The property is supported by the Grand Hotel Villa Argentina across the road, where you have full use of all facilities, restaurants, spa, bars, pool etc. The staff were all excellent, very obliging & nothing was too much trouble. We even got a free room upgrade as a total surprise & free late check out by 5pm due to how late our return transfer was! Breakfasts were extensive choice of hot, cold, continental etc - same offering every day, but so much choice it mattered not. Pool area was lovely with steps to swim in sea, or infinity pool. Excellent sunlounger & bar service, too. Room was clean & comfortable with lovely sea view. Bathroom was a little dated but perfectly serviceable with excellent shower. You have to like steps to stay here - no lifts in Villa Glavic (though lifts in Hotel across the road). Well located, about 800m walk down to Old City Gate. Also just outside the door was bus stop & taxis, too if you don't want to walk. Overall a very pleasant stay & would recommend.

Big, conference hotel with spa, concierge, etc. only used room, breakfast, and “beach/pool,” but the beach made it worth it. No crowded beach, chairs and umbrellas, beverage/food service.
Room was nothing special, but was only there to sleep, so bed was comfortable and bathroom has everything needed.
Location was good on quieter gate. Three grocery stores on walk to pick up snack or water (travelled in summer).
Hotel arranged ferry pick up and was worth it! Someone standing with sign and whisked us to hotel.
Hotel is across the street from Hotel Argentina but you have full access privileges. Breakfast ok, but breakfast view of Adriatic amazing; you will waste time just sitting their and staring out into the sea!

Had a recent four night stay at Villa Glavic. It is situated opposite the main hotel so you are able to use their facilities.

The room was clean and well maintained and the staff were very friendly and helpful.

Breakfast is buffet style in the main hotel - plenty of choice and free tables. I chose to sit on the balcony which overlooks Lokrum and Old Town.

Higher-end resort hotel located 10-minute walk from the Old Town and Walls. Friendly and informative service that catered well to an older couple. Reliable air conditioning. Many families. Top-notch breakfast. Private beach offered a great escape on the hot afternoons of summer. Some European guests are repeat customers from previous years.

The Villa Glavic is actually part of the Hotel Argentina, which itself sits on the rocks above the bay and offers fabulous views over the gorgeous little gem that is old Dubrovnik. Guests at the Villa are welcome to use the facilities of the hotel, such as the private beach, swimming pool, restaurant etc. It is a short walk (10 minutes) into the centre of old Dubrovnik.

Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful, our rooms were clean, traditional and well presented and we had wonderful views across the bay from the balcony of our room.

Evening bar service on the large hotel terrace is a bit hit and miss, and we didn't have a lot of luck in terms of securing pre-dinner gin and tonica, but the breakfasts are very good, and it was lovely to sit outside in the morning sun with lovely fresh pastries, fruit etc.

The old town itself is just glorious - small and perfectly formed - and can really be seen in a day. The walk around the city walls is a must, and takes around 40 minutes (but if you are infirm, beware; there are quite a lot of stairs to climb at the start of the walk).

There are loads of outside cafes and places to eat plus some stalls selling the most delicious ice cream. Pretty much all the waiting staff we met spoke fluent English and were pleasant and welcoming. Great pizzas and cocktails at Restaurant Dubravka.

We took the cable car up to the war museum, which was worth it for the view, and also informative - via old BBC newsreels - of the historic perspective of the war with Serbia. We found it hard to believe that in very recent history the rest of Europe simply sat back and watched the destruction of this bewitching little town, despite it's classification as a UNESCO world heritage site.

Having totally rebuilt the bombed out buildings, and returned the streets to their former glory, this is once again a peaceful, restful, beautiful and very special destination, and the only clues as to its recent problems are the maps strategically placed throughout the city which pinpoint the location of every shell that landed on a roof or paving slab, and which serve primarily to demonstrate the justified and palpable Croatian anger at the injustice of it.

We took a boat to the pretty little seaside town of Cavtat, which was a lovely, peaceful place to wander around, and a peaceful break from the bustle of Dubrovnik.

This is a part of the Grand Villa Argentina complex and I am actually happy we did not stay in the main building. Yes, the access is quite steep and may be an issue for someone with health problems, but there is less noise, it is not so crowded and the corner room that we got is just wonderful - never got a room so big in a hotel if it wasn't a junior suite.

The decor is classic but not tired. If you wish, you can access all the amenities in the main building which we promptly did. The only issue I had was the temperature of the hotel outdoor pool - for some reason even in the middle of the summer it is freezing cold. Pool service was impeccable though.

The spa is worth recommending (heavenly massages) and so is the restaurant. The chef is French and you can see the French flare in the menu, but it is not your typical cuisine. I had dinner there, came back for lunch and left enchanted with my meal both times. Yes, the pricing is outrageous, but that is everywhere in Dubrovnik. I miss you, Villa Glavic!
