Company info

We’re an example of what happens when a 6 month working holiday from Vancouver turns into a 2 year salaryman/modelling stint in Tokyo turns into 2 years in a bustling life in Hong Kong. Followed by, a geographically flawed and totally disorganized trip to Panama via Eastern Europe. We came to Croatia with backpacks on our back. Now, we have a wonderful son, a dog that doesn’t listen, and some small businesses that we deeply care about. It’s been interesting. From opening the first wraps & smoothies joint in the Balkans to starting up a lovely retro laundromat in Dubrovnik. Along the way, we’ve operated a bar dubbed by the New York Times as Dubrovnik’s ‘favoured drinking and hook-up spot’, the first legal hostel in Dubrovnik’s Old Town, a B&B, and modern boutique accommodation with a personal touch. We'll also open a lifestyle convenient store near Ploce Gate. The focus will be on uncovering the very best from regional designers and helping visitors to enhance their Dubrovnik shopping experience with a mixture of small-batch design products, cold craft beer & wine, artisanal souvenirs and food.

The philosophy behind our business is to create something or someplace we would enjoy discovering ourselves. The type of business or service that offers that special moment of comfort, adventure, and community. We love travel. It's been a big part of our lives. When we started Fresh* Sheets, we thought about all the places we have stayed, and we realised that in the end, a bed is just a bed. Certainly some beds and rooms are more memorable but it’s the experience that accompanies your stay that makes it special. It’s those moments when everything comes together and you realize that you are so lucky to have stumbled upon a certain place and time, because what you are feeling will never happen again. Those are the moments of life that you remember. We are here to help. We love Dubrovnik and we're here to make your stay spectacular. We care about what we do. We're happy to provide local tips and expertise, to help arrange interesting tours and activities, to answer any questions you may have, or to leave you alone in peace. Enjoy!

Neighborhood info

They say the church has the best real estate. We rent from the Vatican. The location is amazing. You'll be staying right in the centre of town in an UNESCO world heritage building that was once the holiday home for aristocracy and royalty. That glamour may have faded over the past few centuries, but the building and location remain truly unique. It's a vibrant neighbourhood with some of the town's most important landmarks including: the Cathedral; the Rector’s Palace; Dubrovnik's famous live jazz cafe; and two of the most important piazzas in town. The Old Port is a few steps away. From there you can catch the local ferry to Lokrum or water taxis to Cavtat. If you fancy a swim, there are several nearby 'secret' swimming holes where you will find spectacular views and the inviting clear blue Adriatic. For restaurants and bars, we'll be happy to share our local knowledge and give you great advice on where to eat and drink and how to avoid the tourist traps.
