“Dear Isabelle and Victor. Just a quick note to say thank you for your help and advice whilst Judith and I were in Dubrovnik. We had a lovely day out in Cavtat on Tuesday before our flight home and really enjoyed the boat ride back to pick up our bags at tea time. I was asked by the Monarch air stewards en-route back where we stayed, what the city was like etc and I passed on your details and those of the Divine I apartment so I hope we have put some business your way. Many thanks”. Gill, May 2012

“Good morning, Isabelle.Thank you for letting us the flat- Divine III- and we had a wonderful time!!!!Michiko's already left from here so i will check out at 11am today.Many thanks and see you later.Miho :D”, May 2012

"Please thank Viktor on behalf of me and Anna for his great tips and friendliness that made our trip two weeks ago so much better! All the best, Jyrki, May 2012

“Located in lovely historical old city. Divine III apartment is very clean. Hosts are so kind too and gave us many useful information to make our stay nice. Highly recommend ! Jill, May 2012

“We had a brilliant holiday at Secrets I Apartment in Dubrovnik. Everything was great, but one of the best things was the welcome given to us by you, Victor. All the information etc you gave us was so helpful, but your friendly, fun personality was just a joy.” Catherine, May 2012

“We had an amazing trip, thank you. We were very sad to return to England and wish we could have stayed longer. In respect of the Hideaway I apartment - its location, amenities, comfort, decor and cleanliness was impeccable - we couldn't have wished for more - very impressive. Re the Transfer - this was ideal, very organised and punctual, the car was exceptional quality and the driver very helpful and friendly - we will use again! Information wise, everything was as described. Your services are excellent- we greatly appreciated being allowed to check in early given our flight changes, thank you for organising this The only comment we would make that may require some attention - though I am not sure what can be done - is that on the saturday night we were kept awake for a few hours by extremely loud music. It is of course not the owners fault that the club plays such loud music, but I must admit it was incredibly disruptive and we were both disturbed by it for some hours and unable to sleep. I am suprised this club is permitted to play music so loud given there is a residential area adjacent to it. Luckily the club appeared to only be open on fri and sat evenings so the remainder of our stay was perfectly peaceful. As I say I'm not sure what the owner could do about this, unless there are any laws in Dubrovnik against music being played so loud in residential areas so early in the mornings, in which case maybe he could register a complaint saying that his guests are being disturbed? That would be our only negative comment, everything else was perfect!” Tina, May 2012

„ Very well located, nice and design apartments, quiet ...We spent a lovely WE. Victor and Isabelle are just charming persons and they gave us really good advice on good restaurants, typical places to visit...I strongly recommend MirO studio”. Trip advisor, May 2012

“Brilliant! Right in the heart of the old town, spotless, newly renovated and of excellent quality. Viktor is really helpful and friendly, met us at the Divine III apartment and gave us some pointers as to where to eat etc. Only minus is the bedroom, its a loft room and not a lot of headroom but its not the end of the world! Paul, April 2012

“We have just returned from our amazing trip. Thank you so much for all your help. The MirO studio was absolutely amazing! And Viktor was really helpful. We are busy planning our wedding in Dubrovnik for next year so I will back in touch shortly to ask for more accommodation help for us and our guests. Thanks again”. Emma, April 2012

“We really enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik. The old town is fascinating and very picturesque and we really enjoyed walking around the walls and wandering around the back streets. The Swing apartment was very comfortable and in an ideal position overlooking the old town and only a couple of minutes walk to get into the town. The view from the terrace was lovely but unfortunately it was a little chilly to spend a lot of time out there. I think we would have made a lot of use of it had the weather been warmer. On one of the sunniest days we did a trip up the coast by the local bus to Cavtat which is a really beautiful place and we had a lovely meal there. Thanks again for all your help and advice when I was planning the trip and if we ever come back to Dubrovnik (which I hope we will) I will definitely use your services again. Lindsay, April 2012

"We would like to thank Butterfly Services for our great apartment- Secrets III- & a special thank you to Viktor his fantastic service & warm welcoming smile. Viktor helped us with everything & certainly made our stay in Dubrovnik a memorable one. Thank you so much for everything. We hope to see you again”. Sandi, Brent & India. April 2012

“Viktor was very helpful with everything: from the airport transfer; to advising on activities and sightseeing. The MirO apartment was clean, modern and comfortable. You just walk outside and there is the Pile Gate to the old city, restaurants, small supermarkets; everything you came to Dubrovnik for!” Trip advisor review, April 2012

“We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik despite the weather! The Secrets II & III apartments were perfect for the 5 of us. The location right in the centre of the old town was ideal and it was lovely to just open the windows and listen to the musicians playing in the square in the afternoon! The apartments were clean and we really liked the decor.The transfers both to and from the airport were very efficient and comfortable. It was great to have someone waiting at the airport for us after our 3 hour delay! Viktor was very informative and gave us lots of ideas on what to do and where to eat. The fresh flowers and bottle of wine were a lovely welcome too! The description of the apartments on the website was generally accurate. I also think the youtube videos are a great idea and is something I've never seen before. The booking process was very efficient and I would not hesitate to use your services again when we next visit dubrovnik! Thanks again for your help. Anna, April 2012

“Excellent location just a few hundred metres on the level from the old town , but in a very quiet street so sleep was easy and long. A little cove with a bar was just 50 metres away all on its own lovely for afternoon coffee. The owners were very informed and helpful which enabled us to make the most of our stay, knowing where to get buses and boats for visiting islands and other towns. The MirO apartments were wonderfully modern and self contained with all we needed, including WiFi. I would recommend to friends for a great romantic break” April 2012

“Warm greetings from South-Africa. Firstly we would like to thank you for your e-mail regarding our visit to your country. Your full information regarding our visit to your country is impressive!! We are looking forward to meeting you”. Fanie and Lizette, April 2012

"The view of “02” apartment was absolutely amazing and we enjoyed it so much! The little garden is picturesque and there is a lemon tree where you can pick some lemons :-) The rain shower is an adventure and the rest of the apartment is just great. You can reach the old town in approx. 15 minutes and there is a bakery and a small supermarket nearby. The host "Victor" was really kind and gave us helpful tips what to see in a couple days. We will definitely come back - thank you. Boris, April 2012

“Thank you very much for all the help you have given us in planning our trip. We are going prepared for any kind of weather so thanks for the warning! We are leaving shortly so once again thanks for everything”. Lindsay, April 2012

“We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and our stay at the MirO studios. We're sad we didn't get to see you before we left. We felt extremely welcome by both of you when we arrived. The studio was great -- it really felt like a second home. We both loved what you've done in refurbishing the building and the design appointments you made for each unit. You can tell the care and effort you have put into making the MirO modern, stylish, and comfortable. We also appreciate that you gave us the room with the view of the harbor. Its a perfect location. We rented a car and travelled some distance each day and always looked forward to returning to the studios and relaxing before heading out to dinner in the old town. We've already been recommending to others here in Jakarta a vacation in Dubrovnik and staying at your wonderful studios. Again thank you for making our stay in Croatia wonderful. Casey and Traci, March 2012

“We had a great holiday at the Citrus bay apartment, the transfers were great. We found it comfortable and clean and fine for our family. Your service was fine and we felt we had all the information we needed”. Thanks for your help, March Louise, 2012

“We had a great time in Dubrovnik and the accommodation you provided was excellent. And Victor was very helpful and friendly on arrival. Everything was very positive. In fact we loved Croatia so much that we are coming back this year for another holiday with some family members. I am getting excited about it already! Thank you for all your help – excellent service! Matt, Feb 2012

"The stay in Dubrovnik has been very good and Secrets I, I and III Apartments are at high level.Apartments, transfer and services very good! Happy New year” Giuseppe, December 2011

« Un petit mot pour vous souhaiter une bonne fin dannée et pour vous dire combien nous avons tous apprécié ces quelques jours de dépaysement complet dans votre si beau pays. Nous avons fait des photos splendides. Notre excursion au Monténégro sest très bien déroulée - paysages magnifiques - vu le traffic sur la route ce jour là, nous avons passé la frontière sur une petite route de montagne. Nous avons été à Lopud par une journée très ensoleillée. Seul le jour de Noel a été nuageux. Les Secrets appartements sont très confortables et agréables. Je recommanderai votre site à mes connaissances si besoin est.» Marie Paule, December 2011

“Thanks Isabelle, We had a lovely stay at the Divine I apartment and would come back again! Great service! Great location! ” Lynne, October 2011

“Many thanks to you and Viktor for an enjoyable stay in Dubrovnik. Overall the Divine I apartment and the service you provided were excellent. Particularly appreciated were the smoothness of the transfer from the airport, the honesty and Viktor's restaurant recommendations. The apartment was clean, well kitted out and comfortable. If you want to improve the holiday experience for your guests the easiest way to do it is make some changes to the bed. The mattress springs are too close to the surface of the mattress, so a padded mattress protector would help, and English guests would probably prefer smaller pillows, (we would have).I only mention this because you ask how you can improve; we enjoyed our stay, thank you.”Beatrice, October 2011

“We had a great stay at this apartment. Although it is in a brilliant occasion, the Divine III apartment is very quiet and well set up. The advice we received was great and the price very reasonable for where you are staying. I would definitely recommend it” Annette, October 2011

“We loved the Secrets II apartment. It was just as pictured and most beautifully appointed. The beds were extremely comfortable - the bathroom was very lovely with plenty of wonderful hot water..... The location was amazing! We really enjoyed Dubrovnik......There was just one drawback for me (and my sister) - we both have bad knees and the stairs were a bit difficult for us by the end of the day. The two younger girls, (my daughter and niece), did not have this concern. Other than this we ADORED the place!! Thank you so much for your hospitality! Margaret (and family), October 2011

“I had a really lovely time when I visited last year and you really helped to accommodate all of the changes I had to make (due to travelling alone in the end) and really helped me whilst I was there. Dubrovnik is a beautiful place and I always recommend Butterfly Services to anyone I know who travels there. I would definitely like to come back to Dubrovnik, so I will be sure contact you when I do. I will continue to spread the word about Butterfly Services and will hopefully be in touch soon.” Michelle

“If you are looking for high quality accommodation near the old city then MirO studio apartments are highly recommended. The rooms are a good size with big double beds, quality en-suite shower-room and separate WC. They are well equipped with flat screen tv and full kitchen facilities. It was so nice to walk out of the apartment in the evening and to be so close to all the bars and restaurants and yet be in a very peaceful spot. Trip advisor review, November 2011

“Isabelle arranged for our airport transfer which was reasonable and went completely smooth. Viktor met us upon arrival at the Pile Gate and showed us around our apartment which was perfect; impeccably clean and well appointed. Viktor was great at giving us plans for how to cover Dubrovnik in our time allotted. For example, he directed us to the perfect spot to have a drink while watching the sunset. And, he encouraged us to take a picnic lunch over to the island of Lokrum. We walked over to the Benedictine monastery to find HBO's Game of Thrones being filmed. His dinner recommendation for us at Proto situated in the heart of the Old Town was the best meal we had our entire trip!”Mike, October 2011

“Modern, clean, great view! Service was very good: prompt friendly & unintrusve. “Heure Bleue” Apartment is very nice: bright, modern & clean. Sometimes photos can be deceptive, but actually, the photos here give a good idea of the apartment - if anything, they don't give a full idea of the unobstructed panorama from the balcony. Unfortunately, the TV & wireless internet weren't working at the time but that didn't matter to me & I feel sure they would have been sorted out if I'd asked (which I didn't bother). Location is v. quiet in off-season (October). Walking distance to Lapad area & 5 mins drive to the Old City.” Trip Advisor review, October 2011

“The location of the “Secrets I” apartments in the heart of the Old City of Dubrovnik, right next to the cathedral of St. Blaise. Its position is perfect for exploring Dubrovnik during the day and at night. The apartment is located on the first floor, reached by a flight of stairs. It is tastefully decorated and has a very homey feel to it. The ceilings are very high and one almost feels as if staying in a castle. The service of the couple/managers is impeccable and correct, infused with the sincere and warm friendliness. They made sure that we were taken care of down to the smallest details, they recommended to us wonderful ideas of what to do and where to eat, they made sure that our place was clean and that everything was functioning correctly, and their personal caring touches was their way of making sure that we felt right at home. Basically, they were as professional as delightful! They took care of our transportation from and to the airport, which was done professionally and without any delays or complications. We are definitely coming back and we hope to be able to stay in this wonderful place again, and once again explore and enjoy the beautiful city of Dubrovnik.” Trip Advisor review, October 2011

“This was our second booking with Butterfly Services and we would definitely recommend to others. Everything went very smoothly. The Divine studio apartment was just what we needed - very good location, very clean, good air conditioning, and reasonably priced for the old town. Isabelle and Viktor were especially helpful and we were very grateful for their friendly and efficient service.” Trip advisor review, October 2011

“Secrets I is a gorgeous, high-ceiling apartment in the heart of Dubrovnik's old town. Watch musicians and passers-by in the square below and, as the lanterns light along Stradun in the evening, listen to the calls of the swifts and the sounds of St Blaise's bells. If you don't feel like eating in, walk across to Nishta's restaurant for original and beautifully prepared vegetarian dishes. A truly memorable place to stay.” Nick, October 2011

“I rented Secrets IV apartment based on Isabelle's (Butterfly Services) proposal. The booking process was carried out quickly, promptly and friendly. Isabelle sent me plenty of information about contact info, how to find the location, how to meet etc. After arrival to the airport, I called Butterfly Services (Viktor) and we agreed where we would meet and when to get the keys. Viktor was waiting for me when I got to Old Town and he took me to the apartment. There he presented the apartment and gave me tips and hints about what is going on in the town and what to do during the week. The apartment is comfortable and well equipped, modern with a classy touch. It has plenty of windows, which open to different streets so it is nice to look around. And the apartment is smack in the middle of the Old Town atmosphere! It was always an overwhelming feeling when you stepped out and you were at once there where the action was. Of course, the hustle and buzz was very audible to the apartment but the windows closed tightly and isolated the noise outside extremely well. My biggest worry before the trip was that if there is much noise and if there are plenty of people passing by your door. But that was not an issue. I didn't see or hear any 'outsiders' inside the building during my stay although the front door (to the street) was not locked. There is a small kitchenette but you probably would use only the fridge to keep your drinks cold. There is no shortage of cafes and restaurants. The supermarket is also near. The Old Town is so amazing with all the old buildings and medieval atmosphere. The narrow streets, small restaurants in the streets, polished pavements, friendly people and excellent ice cream! Based on Viktor's recommendation, I made a trip to Lokrum island also to get some breathing space from the cruise ship tourists. Amazing, I had one bay there on the cliffs totally for myself. I truly enjoyed my stay in Dubrovnik. When I was leaving Dubrovnik, Viktor came punctually to escort me to my airport transportation (which Butterfly Services had arranged). The driver (Peter) was very polite and knowledgeable; we had a very nice conversation en-route. At all times I received friendly, prompt and reliable service from both Isabelle and Viktor. I felt always welcome and they were always able and willing to help me, when I needed that. I can certainly recommend both the Butterfly Services and also this apartment for anyone who wishes to explore Dubrovnik and surroundings. It is not cheap, you can find much cheaper accommodation within the walls but it is more comfortable than the usual hotels.” Trip advisor review, October 2011

“Thank you for a delightful stay in the Secret Apartment. We enjoyed every minute, and definitely hope to return. Nick, October 2011

„ Thank you for the lovely apartment and the great restaurant recommendation we have been to Luciens several times! The souffle is divine! We love Dubrovnik and Secrets apartments! Thank you kindly”. Dhyana, October 2011 “We had a brilliant time at the MirO and would recommend it to all our friends. Just know that we thought you were great and we thank you.” Jan and Frank, October 2011

“Thank you so much for such a nice stay, and such a nice room with a view! ...Viktor was wonderful and took good care of us. We hope to visit you again in Dubrovnik soon!” Alexandra and Scott, October 2011

“Ben and I just wanted to say how much we enjoyed our recent holiday in Dubrovnik and our stay in the Divine II apartment. We are already planning to come back to Croatia again next year, possibly in October 2012, and would hope to stay in one of your lovely apartments again.” Jill and Ben, October 2011

“Great to hear from you! I was going to write to you to tell you how much we enjoyed our stay at Coconut Apartment and of course in Dubrovnik for, what was, one of the most beautiful days of my life. Our wedding was wonderful thanks to the many lovely people in Dubrovnik who helped make it so special. Kike was a star and Veronica the photographer was wonderful to work with. We had so much fun with her taking photographs in her favourite spots. Luka and Mariana welcomed us to Coconut Apartment (we called it Villa because it was so big!). They were very helpful and hospitable and even took us to the supermarket to stock up on our first day. They instructed us on using the excellent outdoor kitchen and bbq, chopping wood and gave us ideas of Dalmatian dishes we could cook outdoors. We had some memorable meals as a family on the fantastic patio area with breathtaking views of Dubrovnik and sunsets to die for! Excellent seating for 10 and lovely furniture. The apartment was even better than the web photos... very spacious and furnished well. Well stocked with good quality crockery/cutlery/cooking utensils etc. Plenty of wine glasses too. The position of the apartment is wonderful within close proximity to the old town and right on the corner to catch the 5 or 8 bus. Lovely panoramic walk (5 mins down...10 mins back uphill) Great exercise! Excellent pick up service and great to do business with you. Luka is planning to build a pool...we will definitely be returning to Coconut Villa. Many Thanks Isabelle, it was good to bump in to you on our wedding day. Luka made a special effort with lovely wedding decorations which we really appreciated.” Pauline, September 2011

“Our family holiday in Dubrovnik with two adult daughters was made perfect by the fantastic accommodation (Secrets II Apartment). We were met at the gates of the old city of Dubrovnik by Victor who accompanied our family to the apartment and proudly suggested some wonderful cafes and attractions. The spacious apartment was located in the centre of the old city and immaculately presented. We had wonderful views of the old city and the mountains from our apartment. On departure day Victor assisted us to the Taxi point. We would definitely stay here again.” Jenny, September 2011

“Für ein urbanes und großzügiges Wohnen ist das Secrets I Appartment erstklassig. Sicher, zum Einschlafen gibt es keine Friedhofsruhe, dafür sind Sie mittendrin. Besonders reizvoll ist deshalb das frühe Aufstehen, dann schlendern Sie ohne drängelnde Tagestouristen durch ein Dubrovnik der Einheimischen, zauberhaft! Das Appartment ist üppig im Raumangebot und gut eingerichtet. Lediglich die Küchenausstattung ist karg, die Vermieter unterstellen wohl zu recht, das Sie Lokale in der Stadt aufsuchen” Joern, September 2011

Очень удобное расположение. Красивый интерьер./ Very convenient location. Beautiful interior!” Tatiana, September 2011

“First of all, thank you so much for your friendly service at all times. You did deliver everything promptly, kept the promises and agreed appointments. Those are things that I personally value very much. I did enjoy very, very much on my stay in Secrets IV in Dubrovnik. As a whole, I have only pleasant experiences, Thank you once again, hopefully we meet again!” Pepi, September 2011

“After a very busy few weeks planning our wedding, we came here for our honeymoon for some relaxation. Victor organised transport to and from the airport to make it a hassel free stay. He also gave us advice on good places to eat and day trips/places to see. The air-con in the apartment was a welcome relief as the temperatures were in the 30s. The views from the apartment were even more spectacular than on the pictures. We spent 2 weeks at l’Heure Bleue” and it was perfect for getting to the old town but also has restaurants and shops nearby so there was no need for a car. The only downside was that a nearby hotel held live music in the evenings which could be heard with the windows open but we preferred to keep them shut and kept the air-con on anyway as it stopped the mosquitoes getting in. An amazing apartment and definitely better than our expectations. Would stay there again!” Catherine, August 2011

“We did have a lovely stay in Dubrovnik and especially in “La Note Bleue” apartment, which seemed ideally located for us. Everyone that we have shown photographs to is also very impressed. In terms of the weather, it is a shock to return here where it is rainy and yesterday the maximum temperatures was only +9 C. It is a shame we had to leave Dubrovnik so soon. Thank you for all!” David, September/October 2011

“My husband and I visited Dubrovnik for three nights on our way to our annual holiday destination in nearby Montenegro. What a little gem of an apartment we found in Divine! The management of the apartment arranged our taxi transport from the airport and this worked really well. Our taxi driver was wo helpful, friendly and informative. We were then met at the Pile Gate by Viktor from Butterfly Travel Services. He was brilliant. He helped us with our luggage and took us to the apartment, explaining things as we went. We cannot thank him enough for his care and attention. The apartment itself was great - not luxurious or glamorous but there was everything you would need and it was lovely and clean with a comfortable bed!!! It was so convenient for the city but so unbelievably quiet and peaceful. We couldn't have wished for anything better and it made our stay in Dubrovnik absolutely perfect. We will certainly return and when we do we will be contacting Butterfly Services. They are absolutely brilliant so many, many thanks for Viktor and our delightful taxi driver”, Kenneth, September 2011

“Citrus Bay apartment is situated above Lapad beach, we had wonderful views from the bedroom of the coast, with very clean and tasteful interior it was more than we expected. A stroll down the steps brought us to the beachfront, strip and local restaurants, and bus station. However with such a wonderful terrace with comfortable couches, dining table etc, we spent a very relaxing holiday there. Highly recommended. Thanks to Isabelle and Victor for a very professional service.” Holy, August 2011

. “We had a most SPECTACULAR stay with you at MirO. Your husband set everything off with the best first impression, completely detailing our first afternoon in the city so we didn't have to think about a thing but could just enjoy. We fell in love with Croatia (again) and want to seriously consider how we can live there. Thank you!!” Skyler, September 2011

“ MirO was an excellent location, a very clean, fun space to stay! Nice to have the kitchen appliances and fridge and just overall great experience. We were only there for 3 nights but would have loved to stay longer. It felt so cool being in an actual apt on our own verse a hotel. We did not meet Isabelle during our visit but when we arrived after hours, we called Viktor and he met us at the apartment to let us in and show us our apt for our stay. He was very nice and showed us the place and left. We went down the next morning to say hi and he talked to us about stuff to do during our stay and when we mentioned we would like to go for a run, he recommended running to the Hotel Belvedere. Very cool experience- we did not know at the time that it was an abandoned hotel but it was neat to explore and see this as it was such a huge 5 star hotel before the war. Very interesting and something we wouldn't have come across otherwise. Overall, the stay was great, the place was very clean and we would come back again to visit and recommend to anyone! Oh, and it smelled amazing in the stairwell!” Trip advisor review, September 2011 “MirO accomodation is stylish and in 2 min walking distance to the old town thus a very good starting point to explore Dubrovnik. It is bright, well equipped and clean. If you are noise sensitive it is still ok even though you can hear sometimes the restaurants nearby. Viktor, the host, is funny and can help you a lot with his useful advices. Overall we have been very positive surprised to get this very nice and for Dubrovnik reasonable accommodation that is such close to the Old Town with all the sights. That`s why we can really recommend it 100%. Watch out Dubrovnik`s Old town is very crowded due to the big passenger ships which are frequently coming for a 1or 2 nights stay”. Trip advisor review, September 2011

“Our stay at MirO Studio apartments was everything we hoped it would be. Our apartment was ideal - very clean, nicely furnished with a very comfy bed and lovely shower room. The air con was much appreciated with temperatures in the mid 80s F. The fact that the apartments were situated just outside the city wall was just right - quiet and a real haven from the throngs of people at Pile Gate and within the old town, But also so handy for the old town and harbour. We had a marvellous stay and the only downside was a 10 minute wait at the door when we arrived. We had texted our eta as instructed but had to wait to be let in! This did not spoil a lovely stay however and we'd stay there again in an instant!” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“We stayed at Miro Studio during our trip to Croatia, the hotel has the perfect location, great rooms and most importantly very clean. We would definitely recommend the apartments. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful with great tips for us.” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“Efficient, friendly communication, both before and during our stay, with Isabelle and Viktor-taxi transfers were excellent. As we were all over 63, we definitely appreciated help with our cases up the 90 steps! We had a great holiday there and would recommend the Bougainvilliers apartment to others”. Gillian, September 2011

“Isabelle & Viktor, Villa Rhapsody exceeded our expectations for staying in this lovely villa. We were pampered and spoiled beyond our belief. Casey, Marty & Jake are still talking about breakfast every morning before we headed out to enjoy the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. The recommendations made by Viktor and Gordana were always spot on. The villa is absolutely spectacular! I felt like royalty. I truly hope that we will be able to visit again. Steven, Gwen, Casey, Marty & Jake, July 2011

“We had a terrific stay at MirO. It's in a great location - really close to the Pile gate just outside of old town (close to all the sights but without the congestion and noise). The studio was terrific. It was very trendy and had everything we needed. There was free Wi-Fi, a fully stocked kitchenette, and good air conditioning. Saff was helpful with their recommendations and stored our luggage for an entire day. We'd definitely stay there again.” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“My wife and I stayed at MirO apartments for three nights just at the tail end of high season in September, and we were really pleased at our decision. A lot of B&Bs suffer on the customer service end, but the proprietor, Viktor, couldn't have been more helpful - I had stupidly failed to pack shorts, and he suggested places to get them, and he pointed us in the direction of Lokrum Island, where we had our most pleasant day on our whole trip; and when we discovered we'd left a Blackberry in our safe, he mailed it to us immediately. The place was less expensive than if we'd holed up in some anodyne hotel, and the location right next to Pile Gate was very convenient (you can get food at a nearby supermarket or bakery if you want to save money). And while MirO was a cheaper option, I don't think we would've gotten much better anywhere else - the room was immaculate, with a kitchen and good WiFi reception. No view to speak of, but it was on a quiet, lightly touristed street, which was exactly what we wanted after a few nights in Kotor. In short, if I found out a friend was going to Dubrovnik and they were going to stay anywhere other than MirO, I'd think they probably hadn't done their homework. Highly recommended.” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“MirO is a good place to stay in Dubrovnik so close to the pile gate and a little cove and beach. The room was really comfortable with very welcome efficent air conditioning.So quiet even though it is in the heart of the city so good for sleeing on a night. Great help from reception staff about where to go, we enjoyed all of the suggestions!!” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“Modern, attractive condo 10 minutes from Dubrovnik with fabulous views, great beach and charming promenade/restaurants. Parking included but bus to town is nearby and so is supermarket. Isabel and Viktor manage Butterfly and provide EXCEPTIONAL service! (We have rented over 150 times throughout the world and they are the tops!). Dubrovnik is fabulous but totally mobbed during the day! Go by 3 when the cruise ship visitors are exhausted/nearly gone. Croatia (visited 25 yrs ago), is now a very modern, cosmopolitan country, everyone speaks English, Wi-fi included - great place to travel! Butterfly will provide door to door transfer and some great half/full day excursions.” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“We have had a wonderful stay in Dubrovnik. We arrived half an hour early and the charming taxi driver was there to collect us. We were able to get into the apartment before 11am which was excellent. The apartment- La Maison de Lora”- was perfectly located, quirky and, again, charming. The beds were wonderfully comfortable. The information was very informative – we used your recommendations for places to eat and also for a day trip to Cavtat which was magical. Thankyou for all of your help. We will definitely be returning to Dubrovnik and we would not hesitate to recommend Butterfly services”. Caroline, September 2011

“We loved our stay in Dubrovnik and “La Maison de L’ete” apartment was great. The transfer from the airport was very good and everything went well. I would definitely recommend you and the apartment to friends and family. Thanks!” Simon, September 2011

“From booking the apartment online, both Viktor & Isabelle were so helpful, they arranged our transfers which were seamless, Victor met us at the apartment and went through all we wanted to know including places to visit. We had cause to contact Viktor due to a minor plumbing issue and within an hour a plumber had been and problem had been rectified. An excellent service and very reassuring. The views from the apartment are literally stunning with amazing sunsets, it's in a quiet street overlooking Lapad bay. To the right of the apartment you can walk along the scenic trail (not to be missed) where you can grab a drink or take a dip in the adriatic to cool off along the way. Lapad bay is ideally situated to access the Old Town of Dubrovnik, no 6 bus (takes 10 mins) leaves every 15 minutes and costs 12 Kuna. We took boat trip to Cavtat which is a 'must do' but we were glad we didn't stay there as most of the things we wanted to do were easier to access from the Old Town, Cavtat to the Old Town is 50 minutes on the boat. Do not miss: Lokrum Island, beautiful place, War Photo Ltd Exhibition (in the Old Town)- not for the faint hearted though, Buza II for the sunsets, Cavtat, Three Island boat trip ( we were lucky enough to see dolphins!), cocktails watching the sunset on the beach at Lapad. We had an amazing time in Croatia, the “Heure Bleue” apartment is stunning along with it's location and easy access to the Old Town, you won't be disappointed!! “ Sharon, September 2011

« Un accueil d'une extrême gentillesse pour cet appartement parfaitement situé en dehors de la foule de Dubrovnik. La vue depuis la sympathique terrasse vous permet de voir la mer, le coucher de soleil. « La Note Bleue » appartement est parfaitement structuré avec ses baies vitrées, très propre, le salon confortable, la cuisine parfaitement équipée (frigo, congélateur, lave vaisselle). La salle de bain est également très bien pour un couple. La chambre à coucher également donne un accès sur la terrasse. L'endroit est calme la journée comme la nuit. L'arrêt du bus se trouve à une dizaine de minutes a pied et vous ammène directement dans le centre de la vieille ville, ce qui est bien pratique. Vous pouvez également profiter de la palce de parking et vous balader dans la région. Tout est parfait, pratique, neuf, meublé avec goût. Incontestablement hautement recommandable". Trip advisor review, September 2011

“Hi Isabelle and Victor - We really loved your place “La Note Bleue” and your service was exceptional - that's important to making for a great experience! You folks are exceptionally service oriented and will do well! Happy to recommend your place if anyone specifically asks!” Marina and Nick, September 2011

“Great atmosphere. Great location. Great service! Very cozy. Staying there is a good value for your money. The quality of hotels in Croatia is poor,but MirO studio make an exeption!” Trip advisor review, September 2011

“Thank you so much for your help and support as well as for the fast actions that have been taken. I will for sure show my husband once your beautiful country and contact you again for accommodation. I wish you all the best. Best regards from Doha / Qatar, where I finally settled and consider now as my new home”. Katharina, September 2011

“First of all we like to thank you both for a wonderful stay in a very nice city (one of the best so far) and we as small goup have been around in Europe during many many years….The Secrets Apartment is in a great location with best amenities and comfort, beautiful decor and extremely clean. Transfer and information were excellent!! An idea for upcoming visitor would be to have the possibility to order something to be in the freezer when you arrive!! One’s more thanks for everything, and we will for sure tell our friends about all the good things we were able to.” Bengt/Timo/Juhani, September 2011

“We had a great time while in Dubrovnik and Butterfly services was a big contributor to our enjoyment. Your communication in setting up the trip was excellent -- you always replied quickly to questions and you helped reassure me that we were in good hands in working with you. The mis-step in the airport pick-up was handled well -- a driver arrived as soon as possible and, in effect, you gave us that ride for free. Viktor met us when we arrived to show us to Green Nest, and gave a really good overview of things to do during our stay. Helping in this regard was the well-designed, thorough booklet you prepared giving lots of details about what to do in Dubrovnik. I really appreciated the restaurant guidance in that book, because it helped us find good places for meals. The apartment is quirky and unique -- qualities we liked. The layout on three floors will not work for everyone but we really enjoyed it. The location -- within the old town and near to everything, including a gate to exit the walled city -- was perfect. Viktor told us about a local market for fresh food within the old city and a couple of minutes walk from Green Nest, where we shopped. The kitchen area on the top floor of Green Nest with a refrigerator gave us what we needed to store and prepare some home meals. One suggestion for improvement is to add Wi-Fi to Green Nest, although this is not essential, given lots of Wi-Fi availability throughout Dubrovnik, including a little bar just down the street from Green Nest. A feature of Green Nest that I really appreciate is double-pane glass in the windows to make Green Nest almost sound-proof. This is a really important touch, given there can be noise from outside. However, inside Green Nest all is quiet, tranquil and comfortable. Folks should know that Dubrovnik has lots of hills and steps up them, with Green Nest near the top of one series of steps. While steps come with the territory of Dubrovnik and did not bother us, some people might prefer an apartment with fewer steps to it. Overall, we loved Green Nest and think it is a top-value place to stay. We recommend the apartment, and we recommend Victor and your services. We rate the whole experience of service plus apartment a 4.5 on a 5 point scale. Let me put it differently. If I had a month to stay in Dubrovnik, staying in Green Nest would be just fine with me. In case we return to Dubrovnik, you guys will be the second ones to know, right after us. Thanks for everything and hope to visit and see you again.” David, September 2011

“We had a very enjoyable stay in Dubrovnik. Your services were excellent and we very much liked the Secrets I apartment, so much so that we are likely to return next year but would want to extend the stay to 7 days”. Jane and Mark, September 2011

“My wife and I had our wedding in Dubrovnik in august 2011. Rather than stay in a busy hotel we decided to book our own space for a more private stay. “La Note Bleue” apartment provided us with everything we wanted, a large balcony with perfect sea views, a 5-10 minute walk from the beach and restaurants and a clean modern apartment with all you need. There are very good transport links to the old town with a short bus ride. What made our stay here even more enjoyable was the help and service of Butterfly services. Viktor and Isabelle spoiled us with a wedding gift and were available any time with all requests we made”. Mark, August 2011

“We want to thank you for your help in making our stay so enjoyable. Your assistance in making sure I had everything required for the twins was very appreciated as was your general pleasant attitude. I would certainly recommend your company to anyone thinking of a visit to Dubrovnik. We found the information you provided to be very useful. We used it in selecting restaurants and choosing markets. We were also very content with the apartment you helped us choose. “La Maison de l’Ete” was lovely, comfortable, clean, well situated, beautiful view, and we can't say enough about our experience with Ivana. She was lovely and we won't forget her. The transfer also went well for all of us. The van was comfortable and the driver very pleasant and congenial.I very much enjoyed my conversation with the driver, he was very personable. Overall, we are all very happy with our choice of destination. Thank you again for all your help.” Nadine, September 2011

„We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik on our 1st visit to Croatia. We loved the Citrus bay apartment except the steps on the way back in the evening so we rented a moped which was perfect way to get around! Great restaurants, scenery, weather and lovely people. Cost always reasonable. Local wine and beer was surprisingly excellent! The cable car is a must do included the homeland war exhibition. We did not have time for trips to Montenegro and Mostar but will hopefully do next time!“ Kirsty, September 2011

“Many thanks for your help during our recent stay – we had a great time in Dubrovnik and at “02” apartment. Thanks again and have a great holiday yourself when you get away later in the year”. Paul, August 2011

“From initially booking the apartment to arriving, Viktor was very informative and helpful. He arranged to meet us at a central location on our arrival and showed us to the apartment. After giving us a quick tour of the apartment he gave us some great tips on local places to go and eat. Always good to get some local knowledge. The Secrets IV apartment was very clean and had all the mod cons. Amazing position, right in the middle of everything. I would definitely recommend staying here to all my friends and family”. Michelle, August 2011

"The Bougainvilliers Apartment is a great apartment located just outside the Old Town of Dubrovnik. Dubrovnik is a very hilly town and as long as you can walk up steps access is not a problem. The location is really quiet at night but with easy access to the restaurants and bars. The apartment is well furnished and has plenty of kitchen utensils for food and drinks. The pool is a great way to cool down after the heat in the summer and would be ideal for kids. The transfer from the airport is really easy to get to the apartment and we were met by Viktor who helped with our luggage. We would recommend the apartment for both familys and small groups. Many thanks!” Matt, August 2011

“The Hideaway apartment was lovely: spacious, clean and modern, Great location. We'd recommend it. One thing: the bathroom needs tidying up - there's paint peeling off the walls which lets down the apartment. Also the shower really needs to be a proper one fitted at head height - waist height inconvenient!” Lisa, August 2011

“We had a really nice time in Dubrovnik, everything from the first minute was perfect we felt like at home. The Secrets IV apartment was fantastic, location great and all we can say is good things about your apartment. Also we feel very safe because we know we could call you anytime if we had some problem!!!We would be saying all the time the same things and we already told to our friends and family how lovely is the apartment and Dubrovnik!! You know to treat the tourist and make feel them like special guest. Thank you for everything and hope we can come back!!!” Anna, Ivette and Marta, August/September 2011

“Recently stayed at the MirO Apartments and thought they were excellent! Despite only being a studio, the bedroom was a good size with a large shower room and separate seating area with everything we needed from a small kitchen. The location is perfect, minutes from Pile Gate and access to the bustling Old Town, but also remarkably peaceful and situated in a lovely little sidestreet with amazing views. Viktor couldn't have been more welcoming and was always able to recommend activities or restaurants to visit. We will definitely be back!” Trip advisor review, August 2011

“Everything was great, we had a wonderful time and Miro was perfect for Thomas and I. We do wish to come back to Dubrovnik and we'll definitely reach out to you when we do!Everything was properly organized and all my family was very happy with the flats (Secrets II, Symphony, Paloma, Divine and Green nest)” Nicoleta and Thomas, August 2011

“The Divine Studio Apartment was best choice we could make offering us best best value for price. The studio is more spacious than we imagined and we had everything we needed- cooking facilities, towels, lining etc. Just downstairs the building you can have nice food, shops and the entrance in the old city is very close. At the entrance you have access to bus. Viktor and Isabelle are very nice and respond to emails very quickly so the reservation, payment and everything were no trouble at all. We had a great time in Dubrovnik and the placement of Divine Studio Apartment gave us the possibility to explore the city!”Trip advisor review, August 2011

“My husband and I stayed in MirO apartment during our wedding week. We got married in Dubrovnik on August 16. The apartment location is perfect because the street is very quiet, yet very close to Pile Gate. We also enjoyed the view very much and we thought the flat itself is perfect for a young couple.” Trip advisor review, August 2011

“Thank you very much. I stayed at Swing apartment. Everything was in order – and it worked out great. Your services were very accommodating. The patio was perfect. I enjoyed the internet and television as well. Thanks again! Trouper, August 2011

“We were very satisfied with our stay at La Maison de l’Ete. The apartment was excellent for a family with 5 people. Didn’t miss anything. High standard. We were awakened by noise from the nightclub near the beach, but it wasn’t a big problem. Terrific location and we loved the old town very much. We surly come back to Dubrovnik.” Roy Sigvartsen, July 2011

“Recently stayed at the Miro Apartments and thought they were excellent!

Viktor couldn't have been more welcoming and was always able to recommend activities or restaurants to visit. We will definitely be back!” Michel, August 2011

“The Hideaway apartment was great, good location, comfortable, and lived up to the information you provided. Only issue was that we could not get the TV to work, couldn’t pick up channels. Minor issue as who wants to watch TV when in Dubrovnik, so much else to do. We would assess as A to A+. Geoff, July 2011

“アドリア海のきれいな海が広がっていて旧市街にも目前のところにあるとても素敵なペンションです。オーナーの方もとても親切でベストの観光方法を教えてくれました。値段は高めですが旧市街が目前なのと冷房完備のとても寛げるお部屋で大満足でした。”Trip advisor review, July 2011

“From the beginning Isabelle and Viktor were very helpful. We were met at the apartment and helped in with our luggage, then Viktor, while obviously having a busy day, was charming and helpful. Throughout the rest of our stay he was always available by phone to help with whatever queries we had. “Heure Bleue” apartment was clean and in good condition. The photos do give a good idea of the place. The balcony, though small, is a lovely place to sit for breakfast or alternatively to watch the sun go down. The immediate area around the apartment is quite. It is up the hill quite a way from the beach, which affords you the view, but also means a walk uphill at the end of the day. We were told of a shortcut though through the nearby multi-level hotel where you can use the lift. The hotel staff didn't mind, except for our last passage through, where the lielow I was carrying upset the concierge a bit. So just keep that in mind, if you're a keen Lielow user…Head for the No. 6 bus into the old-town. It's busy and crowded. We found excellent food and 100's of great wee shops to explore, and later we drifted up and down the narrow lanes and stairs of the old town” Luca, August 2011.

„Had a wonderful stay at the Citrus bay apartment. Very spacious, clean and spectacular views. Terrace is huge bonus. Old town is amazing. Great atmosphere and great food. We took a boat from Palace hotel. It was brilliant day out a worth every penny. Cannot wait to come back.“ Dave & Sue, August 2011

„Thank you for making our stay in Dubrovnik so comfortable.We really enjoyed our stay at MirO studio apartments and the help with advice on where to go and organising our transport home was very welcome!“ Jenny and David, August 2011

“Lovely Apartment! We thought the Divine III apartment was great - right in the heart of the old city, but quiet. It had been very recently decorated and was well equipped, with excellent air-conditioning, a washing machine and a full range of kitchen appliances and utensils. Viktor was very helpful and welcoming”. Colm August 2011

“Everything was wonderful, the locations, the decor, the views, the home “02”, the beaches, the services...Excellent¡¡¡” Amelia, August 2011

“Thank you so much for your kind hospitality during our stay with you last Friday to Monday. We had a wonderful time and the MirO apartment was just perfect. Karen Reilly, August 2011

“We really enjoyed our visit to Dubrovnik, and will definitely come back. The town is superb in every way - architecturally, historically, touristically - , and the coast and its archipelago of islands utterly beautiful. The Bougainvilliers apartment was just great. It was neat and tidy inside, and outside the terrace was always in the sun, but with shady corners to retreat to if necessary, and with plenty of loungers and garden chairs. The pool was perfect for our family. When we looked down on the apartment from the top of the cable car journey, we could see how lucky we were to have found an apartment with a swimming pool. The information on the website was fair and accurate, and the practical information in the apartment had really good ideas for activities. We took up one of them - an excursion to Mostar - and would recommend that to other visitors. The transfer to the apartment worked perfectly, and prior to that the booking experience was flawless. If you did not have a budget to eat out a lot, the impracticality of climbing steps in the heat with a lot of groceries every day might be a problem, but we did mostly eat out so had no problem with the steps. Overall, I would recommend a stay in the Bougainvilliers apartment and we hope to come back one day. Thanks for a holiday we'll never forget. Brendan, August 2011

“We did enjoy our stay at Divine III. We did like the apartment and having stayed in another one in Dubrovnik for few days at the end of the holiday I think a very strong benefit of yours is how quiet it is at night - you can sleep with the windows open. The other had a very busy late bar below, and had to sleep with the windows closed and air con on. Victor gave us a recommendation for a tour company in Korcula that organised transport back to Dubrovnik now the ferry service is not good. We used them and they were excellent – Thanks!” Simon, August 2011

“Hi Viktor and Isabelle, Thank you very much for making our stay very comfortable and homely. Also, thank you for the wedding gift and best wishes. Dubrovnik has been as beautiful as we had imagined and the “Note Bleue” apartment went along way to making that true. All best for the future and take care. Mark and Caroline, August 2011

“Your service has been truly excellent and I will certainly recommend you to friends and family as well as my various business contacts in Croatia... We really enjoyed our stay at Secrets I and the trip to Croatia was excellent – I cannot fault the whole process and yours and Viktor’s help during our stay. Thanks again” Ray July 2011

“The 02 apartment is intended for 6 persons (2 large beds and 2 bunks beds). The whole place is new and clean, the kitchen is well equipped the bathroom too. The living rooms is large and comfy. There is air conditioning in the entire apartment. Thanks to the balcony you have a great view of the sea and Lokrum Island. The rent is a little expensive but it is worth it. There is a lot to see and to do in Dubrovnik, I recommend it! The service is excellent too, Isabelle and Viktor are very nice people and will help you with any questions.” Trip advisor review, July 2011 “My wife and I found the Divine Studio Apartments while searching the web and from all appearances this was exactly what we were looking for during our week holiday stay in Dubrovnik. We inquired through the website on availability and price and received immediate response. Throughout the whole booking process and communications that followed, we always received a quick response to our questions. Upon arrival at the airport we were met by an English speaking driver who took us to the old town of Dubrovnik, The car was arranged in advance by the Divine Studio Apartment rental management company. The car was comfortable and the driver provided an overview of Croatia and Dubrovnik history and culture. A very pleasant way to start our holiday. We were met at the Dubrovnik old town gate by the Divine apartment representative Victor and he escorted us to our studio apartment. This made it very easy for those visiting Dubrovnik for the first time as finding your way through the maze of streets can be difficult. My wife and I were quite surprised to find the apartment had all the amenities one would expect in a high level hotel. It was all we had hoped for and more. The air conditioner was sufficient to cool the apartment especially since it was mid-summer and very hot and humid outside. Victor explained everything thoroughly and offered tips on were to eat and what to do. We found that the Divine Studio Apartment was not only an excellent value for the money but also in a central location with easy walking to all of old town Dubrovnik. I would recommend the Divine Studio Apartments to anyone visiting Dubrovnik and I am sure you will not be disappointed. Our stay could not have been better and we found Croatia one of the best destinations in our travels abroad and hope to soon return”. Richard & Sandy, July 2011

“Secrets 1 is just as represented in the photos; spacious, comfortable, and in the most fabulous location. Isabelle and Viktor were welcoming and very happy to help in any way. We loved our stay in this beautiful apartment in this beautiful city.” Simon and Claire, July 2011

“We spent a great week in Dubrovnik. “Heure bleue” Apartment was everything it said on website-the views are REALLY to die for!! Very peaceful area but very close to all amenities. Use of lift in Kompass Hotel was a godsend. Transfers were great as driver gave us loads of info. & was so polite. Whole experience was stress free & we would have no hesitation in recommending or rebooking apartment should we ever return to Dubrovnik.” Amelia, July 2011

“Recently stayed at the Miro Apartments and thought they were excellent! Despite only being a studio, the bedroom was a good size with a large shower room and separate seating area with everything we needed from a small kitchen. The location is perfect, minutes from Pile Gate and access to the bustling Old Town, but also remarkably peaceful and situated in a lovely little side street with amazing views. Viktor couldn't have been more welcoming and was always able to recommend activities or restaurants to visit. We will definitely be back. Trip advisor review, July 2011

“I was happy with Divine studio and pleased is has good air conditioning as very hot outside. Clean. Owner very friendly and helpful. Great location in centre of old town.” Anomymous, July 2011

“Ultra-modern amenities in a charming old building on a quiet street minutes from Old Dubrovnik and seconds from two small coves for swimming. Our room had a beautiful view of the city walls and fortresses. How can we thank our host Viktor enough for the great tips and suggestions for the rest of our trip. We followed his advice throughout Croatia and he was never wrong! We hope to be back soon” Trip advisor review, July 2011 “The Secrets II apartment is very nice, big, clean, comfortable and very well located in the middle of the old town, just beside de stradun! A big kitchen that you can cook if you are looking for it and huge bedrooms! And of course the owner, Viktor, he gave us some good advices and he was very hospitable. For sure I would come back there!” Fangio, July 2011

“We were very pleasantly surprised by how nice the Secrets III apartment was. It was beautifully decorated and is in an excellent location. I can highly recommend anyone visiting Dubrovnik to not only stay in the old town but also at this apartment. The people running the apartment, Viktor and Isabelle were very helpful and prompt in their replies. Thank you Viktor for a great sense of humor and fantastic help in organizing a taxi trip to korcula. I loved this part of our holiday”. Melanie, July 2011

“Great location in the old town, and no steps (only to come to the first floor of the appartment). Secrets I apartment is really nice, stylish and chic. Nice to cook here for your self, you feel at home. The sleeping room is seperated in a nice way from the living room, really modern equipment like music in your bedroom etc.” Sandeep, July 2011

„MirO was a very good hotel. I want to stay your hotel again. Thank you.“Yuzo, July 2011

“We have had a thoroughly enjoyable holiday in Dubrovnik. Nearly everything was better than we expected or could have hoped for though there were some “niggles” in relation to the apartment. Viktor and Isabelle were absolutely charming with a great sense of humour, and Viktor, in particular was most helpful at our arrival in advising on things to do and see. Following his instructions (they were more than just advice) ensured we did all the most worthwhile things. The transfer on both arrival and departure was impeccable. Dubrovnik is beautiful and we were fortunate to be at Lapad a 15-20 min bus ride from the main town. We found everyone helpful and friendly and their standard of English made life so much easier than visiting many other Mediterranean countries. The apartment – “Note Bleue” is spacious and well furnished – a more comfortable bed than we had in some luxury hotels, and a large sofa. The view is beautiful but having a view also means one has a significant climb to and from sea level. I strongly recommend Dubrovnik and following Viktor’s recommendations. The apartment is delightful and provided you have a REAL holiday and don’t mind a bit of exercise to and from sea without going through the hotel. Certainly we shall be visiting again.” Alastair, July 2011

“Our stay at the Coconut apartment was very memorable as it was our first trip to Dubrovnik and our son’s wedding. The apartment was spacious and very clean and well presented. The upstairs bedrooms were air-conditioned and had their own bathroom. The main bedroom was downstairs and had an ensuite bathroom but unfortunately this bedroom was not air-conditioned. The weather in July was very hot and humid! The apartment had a good washing machine which was a bonus as we had been travelling for a couple of weeks before we arrived in Dubrovnik. The location of the apartment is quite a walk to the old town as the weather, as I have already mentioned, was HOT. There is however a bus stop just near the apartment which we didn’t discover for the first few days. We would have appreciated a kettle as we are tea drinkers and the apartment was well set up for coffee making only. Also the microwave did not have a convenient plug and so was virtually unused. Other than these little criticisms, the apartment was lovely and the view from the outside raised terrace was absolutely stunning! Judith, July 2011

“From beginning to end, my friends and I had a brilliant time at The Bougainvilliers. We were met at the airport by a driver and driven to Dubrovnik for a very reasonable fee. We were taken straight to meet Viktor, and he took us to the apartment. He was SO friendly, even helping us with our bags up the steps to the apartment (the only minor complaint we had, but we were fully aware of this when we rented the apartment so we can't be too annoyed!). He gave us great local knowledge too and took the time to introduce us to the area. The apartment was spacious, two bedrooms were air-conditioned (which was great during a heat wave), the third didn’t but there were two free-standing fans for use in the apartment so that was fine. The pool was SUCH A LUXURY in Dubrovnik. We were there for a wedding and we were the envy of all the other guests who had to take on the steps to get to the beaches for a cooling swim. I would go back to the bougainvilliers in a heartbeat. It was reasonably priced, and it was everything we needed and more. It wasnt luxurious, but then wasn't sold or priced as a luxury property. We could not have been made more welcome and there was nothing any more that we could have wanted during our stay. FIVE STARS! Trip advisor review, July 2011

“The location was perfect and the Secret II and III apartments provided everything we required for a wonderful stay in Dubrovnik.Thank you for taking the time to address the issues I mentioned in my review on Trip advisor. I do understand that some of these things were beyond your control and it was unfortunate that this did happen. However we did very much enjoy our stay in Dubrovnik and did not let these small things spoil all the positives”. Peta, June 2011

“Everything was perfect. TV didn't have any English channels other than news channel, therefore would be good if there was a vast choice of English DVD, not that you want to stay in much but it would be nice to stay in (tired from travelling and watch a movie) Again as mentioned were not the kind of couple that stay in on holiday to watch TV but the option would have been nice. Other than this our stay at your MirO apartments was beautiful and we had a brilliant time. Thank you to you and Victor for you extensive knowledge. We hope to visit in the not too distant future. Thanks!” Carly, July 2011

“Service was top-notch, really friendly people who understand what value is all about. The Green nest apartment is well serviced, renovated and decorated and has all basic necessary facilities. Great advice given by Viktor about what to see and when to see it - we followed his advice and were really glad we did - super! Will visit again!” Trip advisor, July 2011

“I will try to sum it up as a beautiful apartment in the middle of the old town, clean, modern, and with a perfect Wi-Fi. The owner met us and was very friendly and nice. The Aramis apartment was really romantic and beautiful. We fully enjoyed ourselves! Your service was impeccable and you made all information handy to us! Sara, July 2011

“We had a lovely holiday at Divine III and hope to be back sometime next year” Sarah, July 2011

“La Note Bleue” is in fantastic location for bars & restaurants, especially being able to use the bottom entrance & Viktor advising us to use the lift down to the beach level at the Kompas hotel. Great views of the bay & also ideally located to travel around to other areas & the Old town. There was only the hob for cooking, which we mentioned on our arrival, the next day we were very impressed to find a brand new microwave & oven, so thank you again for organizing this. The apartment is very comfortable - very contemporary & lovely décor. The apartment its self was very clean. The information provided - description on website is very good, booking procedure, excellent, arrival and tourist information also very good. We had a fantastic time & would definitely like to return someday & of course would keep you in mind for our booking next time & recommend your accommodation to friends & family”. Jennifer, July 2011

“Our stay at Porthos was excellent. Our driver was waiting for us in arrivals at Dubrovnik airport and brought us promptly to the city walls from where we walked to meet Tea to bring us to our apartment. The apartment was spotless on arrival and the decor was beautiful. The addition of free Wi-Fi access really benefited us as we could contact our wedding planner Kristina through email easily. The laundry facilities and washing line outside the window meant we could wash our swimwear and towels as needed. The only improvements i would recommend is the shower, a power shower or even the current shower having a hook on the wall so not having to hold it for the duration of the shower and to have air conditioning in the bedroom also would increase the comfort of our stay. The photos of the apartment online matched exactly to the apartment we stayed in. The information booklet you emailed was great and we sampled the ice-cream in dolce vita! Unfortunately sugar and spice was closed on the Sunday when we found it but we will be back! We plan on having our wedding next summer in Dubrovnik and will be in touch ourselves or through Kristina to arrange possible accommodation for some of our guests”. Emma, July 2011

“We had a wonderful holiday at “02” apartment in Dubrovnik, thank you so much. Transfer perfect and Peter is very professional. Service was excellent. Information was very good. The comment I would make is that the details about the stairs going down should be more to the front of the details. It could be a problem for older people or people with babies. Viktor is very professional, very good English. His response to our problem with TV was very good. Details on restaurant etc. were very good. Booking arrangements with Isabelle was very smooth. Thank you for helping to make our holiday enjoyable”. Maeve and John, July 2011

“Thanks so much for you help in finding Secrets IV Apartment. We had a great time. Viktor was great suggesting places to visit and a very nice bloke. In all really pleased I got in touch with you. The apartment was great and served our need perfectly. In all location was great, clean, information very helpful. 2 minor comments not that it made any difference to our stay. A kettle would be handy and a universal keyboard on the computer. Saying this in help to improve, it wasn’t an issue. I have already suggested using your services to family and friends and they will contact you in the future when visiting Dubrovnik. Thanks again” Matt, July 2011

“First, there aren't enough adjectives to describe Dubrovnik which has to be one of the world's most beautiful cities and best-kept secret. Our family's stay (two grandparents, two adult children and a 9-month old baby) at The Bougainvilliers apartment was perfect. From our earliest communication with you during the reservation process; through the complicated airport pick-up and transfer of all of our stuff with 2 different arrivals and a late plane - everything went unbelievably smoothly. Viktor's "hands-on" help and his valuable advice on what to see, what times to visit and where to eat; coupled with Butterfly Services responsiveness and personalized service, was exactly what was needed . OKay...96 steps up to the Bougainvillers apartment wasn't the easiest climb, but the spectacular view of the blue Adriatic, the red tiled roofs and the old city from the huge wrap-around terrace, made it all worthwhile. The pool was heavenly and the apartment had everything we could possibly want. We've told everyone we know to visit Dubrovnik and contact you to make their trip the best it could be. And of course - with any luck - we'll be back!! Myrna and Trevor (Charlotte, NC) Daniel, Helen and baby Zach (Belfast, Northern Ireland), June 2011

“Thank you for making us feels at home in Dubrovnik. From the moment we were greeted by Viktor, until we said our good-bye, we felt very well cared for. The accommodations were fantastic; clean, convenient to old town, and a perfect place to enjoy our vacation! Especially appreciated were the recommendations for sightseeing and the restaurant suggestions. I would highly recommend Symphony studios to those considering a stay in your beautiful city! Michael, June 2011

“One of the best choices as regards to accommodation we have ever made, after travelling extensively for the last 14 years. We are a mature couple from South Africa, after careful searching we read about The Secret I on Trip Advisor and made our plans from there. From the first e-mail we were impressed with the professional manner in which Isabelle and Viktor operate. Arriving on the late flight, which was delayed on a Saturday evening, we were met by a friendly and very helpful Viktor and we were so delighted with The Secret 1 - exactly as all the photographs! W0W! Our apartment was clean and well taken care of! Even stock with basic food stuff in the kitchen! The next day was my husbands birthday, on our return from the market, we were greeted by Viktor with a wonderful bottle of Croatian wine, fresh strawberries and yummy cookies! This was so special. The Secret is romantic and in the Old Town, with the most beautiful view of the stained glass windows from the St Blaise church, right next door! Our 10 day stay was more special day by day. Isabelle and Viktor left no stone un-turned to assist us with useful information of where to eat and what to do while in Dubrovnik! The apartment is well situated, it was like living in our own comfortable home - really great We can highly recommend Butterfly Services and the Secret Apartments, many thanks to the Owners and Butterfly Services - you made Dubrovnik even more special for us!” Trip advisor review, July 2011

“We had a wonderful time, thank you. The apartment “La Maison de l’Ete” was just fine. It was very spacious with plenty of room for our big family, and Ivana was a wonderful host. The only problem we had was that the club on the beach played music until very late at night. Other than that, it was perfect. We couldn't really hear it with the windows closed. But it was very warm, so we kept the windows open. We could have turned on the air conditioning. But, it was so nice out! Transfer was efficient and easy. Thank you for arranging! The information packet you sent was a great help. Thank you for sending it! We ate at many of the restaurants and had a great time. I might recommend that you mark where they are on a map - we had a challenge finding some of them. Although, wandering the streets looking for the restaurants was a pleasant experience. In spite of the noise, we had a wonderful stay, and would stay there again if we come back to Dubrovnik. Thank you again so much. We will definitely recommend you to any of our friends going to Croatia!” Kim, July 2011

“I was a little surprised by the attention to detail given in service to us - really friendly and helpful people, gave us loads of good advice, and made the stay most pleasant. I felt we were given really good value for money, and this makes me want to return - but for longer next time! The Green nest apartment is really great, it's got everything you need - basic, but clean and very well renovated with nice decor. Thanks so much for a great few days!” Trip advisor review, July 2011

“The Secrets II apartment was clean, comfortable and convenient to everything in Old Town. It was so much more affordable and spacious than a hotel and parking was easier than expected. Be sure to walk the city wall before the hot sun and cruise ship passengers arrive (before 9am). We loved it and highly recommend this apartment”. Trip advisor review, July 2011

“We just returned from a 2 week trip through Slovenia and Croatia. Dubrovnik was our last stop and we were hoping that Divine 1 would offer both a wonderful location in the heart of Old Town and the comforts we were seeking. We were very pleased to find both! The apt has 2 air conditioners (1 in living room, 1 in bedroom), a full kitchen, wireless access, and a wonderful location off the Stradun in Old Town....with no outside stairs. Although the town can get pretty noisy at times, we never heard a sound from the streets in the apartment. And the lovely terrace got lots of use as we would drink wine and plan our next day's activities. You cannot do better than this apartment in Dubrovnik and Viktor and Isabelle were very helpful with the booking, check in, and local information. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Trip advisor review, July 2011

“Viktor met us as arranged at Pile Gate and escorted us to the apartment, where he showed us the features and recommended a few restaurants, which were excellent choices. Being on the second floor the studio has stunning views over the old town and is located in the flat part of the town, no stairs in the streets. The apartment is fully equipped with appliances for cooking, is fully air conditioned, has lots of storage and extra sheets, towels and blankets, plus lots of hot water. We had no need to contact the Managers during our stay, but their service in answering our emails and arranging payments could not have been better. The central location made it easy for us to slip back to the apartment for a "comfort stop" too. (There is only one public toilet in the entire town). For the two of us the Divine studio was a perfect choice and helped to make our stay in Dubrovnik extremely enjoyable. Thank you Isabelle and Viktor for capping off a perfect holiday”. Trip Advisor review, June 2011

“Everything about this holiday went like a dream, from the initial booking right through to the departure, helped by the excellent services of Viktor & Isabelle who run Butterfly Services. The apartment- Heure Bleue- was in a stunning location on the cliffs above Lapad bay, their photographs are spot-on, the views are to die for. The apartment is nicely furnished, comfortable & everything you would expect for a self-catering holiday. It's about a 10 min walk to the bus stop that takes you into Dubrovnik old town (a 10-15 min journey) but all amenities can be found down below the apartment in Lapad bay, pebble beach with all facilities, restaurants, bars, and supermarket. There are a lot of steps to negotiate so probably not the best location for someone with mobility problems although can use the lift at the hotel Kompass which is only a short walk from the apartment. An amazing place to visit & nothing to find fault with at all. Viktor was very helpful in recommending places to visit, things to do, restaurants/bars to try. I would highly recommend using Butterfly Services for accommodation booking”. Trip Advisor review, June 2011

“Hi Isabelle, I've just given my thoughts on Trip advisor - you got 5 stars :). Thank you very much for your great service and a wonderful few days at Green nest! I'm thinking of returning perhaps next year with another family, and am interested in a villa - something with a pool, if possible :)” David, June 2011

“Wonderful stay at MirO, and so peaceful! Viktor was fantastic at advising us as what to do and where (and when) to go, local insight made such a difference to our stay. Came for the start of our honeymoon and was really able to relax. With its quiet little cove and right next to the Old Town, location was fabulous! Viktor and Isabelle are the perfect hosts - many thanks to them again for making it the most memorable few days”. Trip Advisor review, June 2011

"The best place to stay. El mejor sitio para quedarse ! El apartamento- Divine - tiene una situación inmejorable dentro de las murallas de la ciudad sin ser un lugar ruidoso. La limpieza es inmejorable asi como las facilidades (toallas, vajilla, microondas, hasta sanwichera). Sus dueños son muy agradables y nos han facilitado todo tipo de indicaciones. Hay internet gratis. Sin duda el mejor lugar para quedarse, Paula, June 2011

« I'm happy to give you a bit of feedback but it will probably be brief as good feedback often is. I had intended to send a thank you note to Ivana, who greeted us. She was at the taxi door to meet us and spent quite a bit of time helping us to get familiar with the Barcelona apartment. She provided lots of useful information about the local markets and restaurants. Before leaving, she gave us her email address in case we needed her help. We did not but it was very thoughtful of her. The apartment looked good in the photos and it was as nice as it looked. We found everything that we needed there and we were very comfortable. The location was great. I appreciated that it wasn't up a steep side street! I can't think of anything else you should do for your guests - all of the arrangements were easy, efficient and professional. Somehow though we looked hard for apartments in Dubrovnik I didn't find Butterfly Services until quite late in my search. We recommended your apartments to an Australian couple we met in Hvar and we would recommend them to anyone else without reservation. Thank you very much,” Judy. June 2011

“What a really super holiday we had in Dubrovnik! Over the years we have traveled frequently, this past Holiday was one the most special ever – it was by far the best visit to Europe. The Secret is an amazing property and with your warm special personalities it makes one stay even more amazing! We must keep in touch, it was lovely to meet you all and spend time together, these moments are what makes the best memories!”Catherine and Wouter, June 2011

« Isabel y Victor, Disculpar que no se Ingles y te comento todo en español. Referente a los Apartamentos, te he de informar, lo siguiente: SITUACION........................10 LIMPIEZA..........................10 DISEÑO.............................10 VICTOR Y MARIA...............10 UN DIEZ TAMBIEN POR EL ESPAÑOL Asimismo informaros, que si tengo que decir a un amigo que quiera visitar Dubrovnik, que escoja The MirÓ studio apartment Un abrazo » Irene,Mercedes,Joan y Jesus, June 2011

“We had a lovely relaxing holiday at “Heure Bleue” apartment. Many thanks for all your help prior to the hols and to Viktor's during our stay. Once again, thank you very much for making our holiday so enjoyable, I’ll never forget those panoramic views, the friendly warmth of the local people & the historic beauty of Dubrovnik old town. I think we'll be back!!” Karen, June 2011

“Isabelle, Viktor, Merci merci d'avoir autant chouchouter mes parents durant leur séjour a MirO. Ils ont passe un moment extraordinaire, grâce a vous. Mon père a déjà laisse une évaluation 4 * sur trip! A bientôt » Cédrine, June 2011

“Thank you very much. We had a fantastic stay and the Secrets III apartment was beautiful. Our baby Michelle had a wonderful time also and the heat didn't affect her too much. We'll bring her again!! I will definitely recommend the apartments to friends. Thank you again and hopefully will see you in the future”. June 2011

“We have enjoyed very much our stay in Dubrovnik and the Divine studio apartment it was very nice. Thank you very much for all”. Moises, Paula and Mateo June 2011

“We thoroughly enjoyed Dubrovnik and Divine III. Viktor was very helpful. We did mention to him that there was no bread knife in the apartment and perhaps also a small sharp knife would be useful. Many thanks for such a wonderful holiday. Alan & Katie, June 2011

“Thank you so much! We loved Secrets II! Tell Victor thank YOU for me as well” Alejandro, June 2011

“The MirO apartments are in an unbeatable location and very peaceful. They are not spacious but very stylish and have everything you need. The kitchen area is a bonus. The city's restaurants are great but it was nice to be able to make ourselves leisurely breakfasts and to keep drinks and fruit cold. We loved it and don't think we could have done better.” Trip advisor review, June 2011

“Having booked the accommodation and noted that we needed to inform the staff that we would be arriving 'out of hours', I emailed Viktor at the hotel to enquire about check in. Viktor's response was quick and we were able to arrange a private transfer from the airport to the apartments at a reasonable price. Viktor met us just outside the Pile Gate, which is extremely close to the apartments. Check in was easy and Viktor gave us a map and some pointers on where to eat and what to see and when to avoid the cruise ship crowds! The MirO rooms are modern, well equipped, clean and tidy, we were on the 3rd floor so had a view of the cove opposite, rooms lower down would be facing another building, but the cove is very close and there is so much to go and see that the view from the window is not essential. This is a perfect place to stay for a short break-in Dubrovnik, close to Pile Gate for visiting inside the city walls but located in a quiet side street, when you want to get away from it all” Trip advisor review, June 2011

“Just a quick email to say thanks for everything! We had an amazing holiday and absolutely loved “Heure Bleue” apartment, it was just perfect! We are planning to get married summer 2012 and are now thinking of possibly having the wedding in Dubrovnik! Thank you again!” Lilly & Nigel, June 2011

“We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik, much of it to your credit. Isabelle, you were wonderful in replying so promptly to my specific enquiries, your descriptions were 100% correct and the ease with which all the paperwork went, in this day and age, was quite remarkable. Viktor, your meeting us, even with a minor hiccup, and taking us to the apartment, explaining the features and recommending a few restaurants were superb. This was more than the service we could have expected for such a short term lease. The Divine studio apartment was just as we expected. It was perfectly located in the centre of the Old Town and from Philippa's viewpoint the flat ground without steps was a godsend. If we were returning to Dubrovnik, then we would take it again, and recommend it to any of our friends. Best part was actually meeting you both with the surprise addition of Charlotte. The Dubrovnik part of our tour was a standout highlight of a great Croatian experience. Again many thanks-we will certainly keep in touch.” Philippa & Don, June 2011

“Thank you for a lovely stay in the Divine I apartment, we had a wonderful time.” Bhavin and Amee, June 2011

“The Secret IV apartment could not be located more centrally, which is important in Dubrovnik since the whole point of being there is to see and experience the old town, walk to restaurants, delicious gelato stands, etc. It was a perfect setting for four people with fully separate bedrooms and bathrooms and one small common area in between, which ensures privacy as well as ability to socialize. Very modern furnishings, easy access to management and a light walk to the nearest beach” Vladimir, June 2011

“Dear Isabelle, Your services were great. You were very helpful from my very first inquiry, through to following u the week before our trip and answering any queries I had clearly. The suggested list of places you put together was also excellent - many of them overlapped with my own findings and other recommendations, which is always a good thing! In general, we were quite happy. The location was great and Madrid apt was clean and much bigger than it appears on photos. I have already raved about Dubrovnik and would definitely recommend Butterfly Services to anyone visiting Croatia!” Megan, June 2011

“Great location on the Old Town! Divine I is comfortable, clean and well equipped, with a nice little terrace. No outdoors stairs except the ones within the building (1st floor). Wireless internet connection. We highly recommend to stay there. What you see in the website is what you get. The Butterfly Company has other vacation rentals in Dubrovnik area, but all we can say is that the service offered is excellent. Viktor and Isabelle were perfect from the first enquiries to the check-out. As promised our pick up was at the airport on our arrival and a scenic drive took us to the Pile gate. We were greeted by Victor and he settled us in with information and details about our stay at the apartment. The location could not have been better as there were no steps(of which there are many off the main street)and everything was easy distance to walk. There is so much to do and see within the location including the trips/excursions. The sea kayaking was great and the old city itself absolutely stunning. The one drawback of course in being in the city is the noise levels but this was the sound of the city with all the tourists. The patio was not good during the day due to the noise from the extractor fans from the pizza restaurant but on the whole the apartment was fantastic. I would recommend this” Trip advisor review, June 2011

“We have just returned from a week's holiday in Divine I right in the heart of Dubrovnik's old town and can't rate it high enough! The service offered by Butterfly Services was superb. Isabelle and Viktor were extremely helpful and had a wealth of knowledge of the town and the area. The apartment was perfect for 2. Homely, clean, in a peaceful spot yet yards from all you would wish to do and see. Its lovely terrace (with an orange tree!) was a welcome shady spot in the heat of the day. The kitchen was well appointed and the bed very comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer! We can't recommend Butterfly Services and this flat enough and we shall return to this beautiful city. John, June 2011

« Merci a vous et a Viktor pour votre gentillesse et aide. Ca m'a fait très plaisir de vous rencontrer. Nous avons adore Dubrovnik et la Croatie et nous prévoyons déjà d'y retourner. L'appartement Divine I était superbe, parfait pour nous deux et tellement tranquille et agréable! Nous avons utilise la terrasse tous les jours et le fait qu'elle soit ombragée etait "spot on"! C'était bien de ce dire qu'on pouvait retourner a l'appart en vitesse si on voulait et qu'il y avait magasins et marche pour les courses tout a cote. J'ai chante vos louanges et celui de l'appart a tous nos amis! Dubrovnik est une ville splendide. Donc une expérience tellement positive qu'on veut revenir! Merci encore pour tout Isabelle» Francoise, June 2011

“Loved Miro Studio Apartments, modern, stylish and comfortable studios, with everything you need to have a pleasant stay. The apartments are in a quiet street one block away from the Pile Gate of Dubrovnik’s walls, so you can enjoy the city in the morning and go to the apartment to rest and then continue discovering the nice sights within the walled city in the afternoon. It was nice to see the charming cove nearby each time we went out. Viktor was so friendly and nice, he gave us great advice of what to see and do, and where and when. I only regret not going to Lokrum Island which he recommended. I had read about the limited hours of the reception so I called Viktor ahead to tell him I would arrive around 3:30 p.m. and we had no problem. The kitchen was so perfectly equipped that you could prepare anything you want. We bought some groceries from Konsum just for breakfast, and went to some nice restaurants within the walled city (the restaurants that are not on the Stradum are fairly better). The bed was very comfortable, 2 ACs, both worked perfectly. The neighborhood was so quiet and charming; it was like I was a Dubrovnik citizen. I spent 4 nights from May 27 and really had a wonderful stay. Hope to go back in the future. I definitely recommend Miro Studio Apartments.” Trip advisor review, June 2011

„We spent 7 days at Citrus bay. First visit to Croatia- very impressed with scenery and wonderful food on offer. The apartment is very functional and met our expectations. All those steps were a bit of a pair, especially if we wanted to go back down for something! Butterfly services, Isabelle and Viktor are very helpful. We highly recommend them!“ John, June 2011

“We made the booking for week in May after reading other good reviews about the MirO on TA, and we are so glad we did. The studios are 1-2 minute stroll from the Pile gate, just down a few steps, round a corner and it's suddenly calm and peaceful. The studios have been very well converted, well equipped with good facilities and good quality fittings. We were on the top floor and had a wet room shower with good water pressure. The soundproofing is excellent and we had many good nights sleep. We had studio 6 which has a great view of the small harbour and the large fort that overlooks. Plenty to see from the window over breakfast! Nearbye is a small supermarket and traditional bakery which did us well for breakfasts. We ate out in the evening - plenty of choice and good quality too. Do ask Viktor for advice, every one of his recommendations for eating, and also for trips out were well worth doing. Save a fortune by using the local buses and ferries!” Trip advisor review, May 2011

“Hi Viktor! We had a great trip and time at Green nest and Divine III in Dubrovnik - also thanks to you! Hope all is well and you have a great (and busy!!!) summer”. Guido, May 2011

“We thought the Hippocampe apartment was well decorated, with an amazing view from the balcony, and matched up to the pictures on the website. We were very comfortable there. The bathroom and kitchenette facilities were good and clean and modern. Everything was pretty easy to work out how to use.”May 2011

“We have only just returned home to Sydney and I wanted to let you know how much we enjoyed our stay at Miro Studios at the end of May / beginning of June. The studio was so well-situated – so close to the old city gate and yet so quiet – and the interior, while small, was lovely. We appreciated that everything was modern and new and created an interesting contrast to the old building. We also liked having the little beach close by – Phil swam there – and we ate at the nearby Orhan restaurant several times because it was so close, away from all the crowds and we liked the food. It was also in a lovely position. Viktor was extremely helpful about places to go and we particularly enjoyed our trip to Korcula, a beautiful old town. Also, his advice about parking was crucial. That was probably the only annoying thing about our stay – having to move the car to several different parking areas, mainly because the cost of parking at the Pile gate doubled at the beginning of June. But we did appreciate having the car when we went to Korcula. Please pass on our thanks to him for his help during our stay. We would have no hesitation in recommending Miro Studios to others in Australia. Best wishes to you and Viktor and to the other staff who were also very friendly and helpful”. Suzanne, May 2011

“We thought the Secret I apartment was absolutely beautifully decorated - light, spacious and atmospheric, and matched up to the pictures on the website. I was really glad i picked it to be the location for our wedding photos. We were very comfortable and felt very at home there. The sound system and TV was amazing! And the bathroom and kitchenette were good and clean too. Everything was pretty easy to work out how to use. It had a central location which was right in the centre of everything, and it is definitely the place to soak up the sights and sounds of Dubrovnik. - I dont think the website really warns of you of the fact that there are bells right outside the apartment windows - this added to the charm and atmosphere - but it did also disturb our sleep I understand that it is a central busy location, but i just think that you should warn people of the bells right outside. Booking and organisation was excellent - Isabelle you are a star! and were a joy to deal with. Very organised, efficient and quick to respond to emails. We would stay with you again, as on the whole we were pleased with our stay. Many thanks Isabelle and Victor for looking after us”. Kate and Nathan, May 2011

“On Arrival at Pile Gate, Victor was waiting for us and was the perfect host, warm and welcoming! He took us to the apartments himself and pointed out things on the way, which was really useful, he was really nice to deal with, and answered the majority of our questions with no problems. When we came to transfer to the Hippocampe apartment, Victor was very punctual, and kindly helped us with our bags. We wished he had come with us to the Hippocampe apartment in the taxi with us. On the way back to the airport the transfer arrived on time, the driver's were friendly and efficient, and the cars were clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Excellent service!” Kate, May 2011

“Hi Isabelle and Viktor, we got back last Saturday morning at 3 AM and Are sill getting over jet lag. We loved our stay in Dubrovnik and Croatia. Viktor was especially helpful and we almost did everything he suggested. The MirO appartment was fine and the onl;y suggestion I would make is perhaps leave some instructions in your book on how to use the telephone.”Thanks Trevor, May 2011

“Just to say a big thank you for the warm welcome we received and a nice apartment- Divine I that was well equipped with all that we needed. We had a brilliant time in wonderful Croatia and it is certainly one of the most stunning places I have seen, and everyone was extremely pleasant so I shall recommend friends to visit Dubrovnik. Thank you so Much” Kevin and Ann, May 2011

„ We were pleased with the location of the Divine I apartment, but as the pictures showed on the Internet, it was a bitold fashioned. I think Dubrovnik is a beautiful town, and we are so glad that we were able to experience the old town and all it's charms, we would certainly come back again, but not to stay in the old town, somewhere more peaceful next time.This was a very good location in the old town. It had only one flight of stairs, which is why we picked it. It was great for the shops and restaurants too.We found the apartment well equipped in the kitchen so that was good for self-catering,It was a pleasure to deal with you over the phone Isabelle; you are very efficient and professional. You made everything very clear and we had no problems at all, thank you for organising it all so well.Excellent service the transfer was perfect from the airport to Pile Gate where Victor was waiting for us. He was very friendly and chilled out which made us all relax. He took my case and went with us to our apartments pointing things out on the way. On the way back to the airport the transfer arrived on time, the driver's were friendly and efficient, and the cars were clean, comfortable and air conditioned. Many thanks Isabelle & Victor for arranging our holiday so well“ Mr & Mrs. Roberts, May 2011

„ If you were in Dubrovnik, where would you want to stay? In a characterless big global chain hotel? In a quaint pension in the old town, within the city walls? No, you want to stay in your own fully-equipped, modern apartment in a quiet street near the Pile Gate. MirO Studio apartment could not have been a better choice. We had enough room to spread out in, comfortable chairs to sit and read in, a kitchen to prepare our own simple fare when we got tired of restaurants and a table to eat at, modern bathroom facilities with an excellent shower, and, best of all, a comfortable bed in a dark, quiet corner of the apartment. It is hard to convey how peace descended upon us when we walked out of the gate and down onto our street. The apartments are literally a 2 minute walk from the gate to the old town, but it was like being in a different world. Dubrovnik old town is awash with tourists--they come in by the cruise boat load, as well as by other means, and the crowds can quickly bring out the misanthrope in me. But we had a haven to which we could escape when we had had enough. There's even a picturesque cove and a small fort right across from the building. Most importantly, we slept extremely well. Word of advice: do everything Viktor says you should do. Eat at the restaurants he recommends; buy sandwiches for a picnic where he says you should buy them, patronize the cafes he recommends. He never steered us wrong. Viktor is charming and the accommodation he runs is first-rate. You will not regret staying here. Room Tip: Stay more than one night.” Trip advisor review, June 2011

„ We had a lovely stay at Citrus bay in Dubrovnik, despite the unexpected rain for a few days! Thank you for your help and assistance during our stay. If we ever return to Dubrovnik we will be sure to get in touch. Many thanks“ Jennifer, May 2011

„We had a wunderfull time in Croatia, especialy in Dubrovnik. The visit in Cavtat with the pleasant wolk around, the impressing Mausoleum and the excellent 'fisch-carpaccio' - a wonderfull end of our journey! Thank you so much for this advice. The location and the amenities of the Green nest apartement in the middle of the old town is unique, the comfort an the cleanliness complyed with our wishes. - The Transfer to the apartement worked well. The meeting with Viktor was very likeable. The Informations we received on the website and per e-mail were correct and the booking was easy. And the arrival informations from Victor were excellent (all the nice restaurans, the nice places etc....)- The services in general were very good. It was a great pleasure to meet you. Thank you!“ Hansruedi, May 2011

“Hvala Isabelle, Bilo mi je jako ugodno u Vasem apartmenu u Dubrovniku i sa zadovoljstvom sam dao preporuku na Tripadviser-u. Srdacno, Vladimir, May 2011

„ We had a fabulous time at Citrus bay! Views were spectacular and weather amazing. Viktor was very helpful. He organised a tour to Mostar which we highly recommend. We had our personal guide, Peter was very informative. We enjoyed the quiet of Lapad bay and the escape from the hustle & bustle of the Old town. Thank you for the great holiday“ Holly & her friends, May 2011

“Recently arrived in Croatia, my family and I wanted to visit Dubrovnik. We had a very pleasant welcome from our hosts Isabelle and Viktor who gave us wise information to enjoy our stay in Dubrovnik. Green nest is a charming flat in the center of the city and is a great place to live the Dubrovnik life from the inside. We parked the car in the municipal Garatza for 20 EUR for 2 days and came by foot to the center. I strongly recommend Butterfly services.” Lotta, May 2011

“We just wanted to say we had a fantastic time staying in the Miro apartments and really enjoyed seeing Dubrovnik and the surrounding countryside. This was made so much more special by all your helpful advice and recommendations. All the best to you both from cloudy, cool and rainy Nottingham” Phil and Ben, May 2011

« Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, l'appartement Green nest était parfait et en tous points conformes à ce que nous attendions, bien aménagé, très propre et parfaitement situé. Les conseils de Viktor nous ont également été très utiles ! Je conseillerai sans faute à toutes les personnes de mon entourage qui voudront venir à Dubrovnik de choisir de séjourner chez vous ! Bien à vous, Pierre » May 2011

„ We had a great time in Dubrovnik - everything went smoothly from the car service pick-up/drop-offs, you meeting and greeting us (thanks for carrying my suitcase up all those flights of stairs), and your much appreciated restaurant suggestions. The Secret II apartment was very nice (well represented in the pictures on your website - was clean & comfortable) and in a very convenient/central location. We enjoyed Dubrovnik and hope to visit Croatia again in the future. .thanks again! Take care - enjoy your summer“. Lauren, May 2011

“Everything was find and your advice very good. Finally we stayed 2 nights in Split and after we visited Hvar. The Poesia apartment was very nice, clean and in an excellent situation. The transfer upon arrival was very convenient. Everything was fine. Thanks for all!” Silvia, May 2011

“Everything about our stay in Dubrovnik was perfect. We love the Old City; the Divine III apartment was great and your service excellent!” Camilla and Bjørnar, May 2011

“You proved to be a genuine guideline pearl within the Pearl of Adriatic, and a most friendly one :). We were very pleased with our stay at MirO studio and we enjoyed a lot our time spent in your city. And now, back to work and daily routine, it is mainly the memory of our awesome trip and your BIG KISS that keep us smiling! We'll be glad to stay in touch with you, Isabelle and Charlotte”. Mila, May 2011 “Secret IV is perfectly located and exactly as shown on the pictures. It is extremely clean. It is a perfect base to discover Dubrovnik! Isabelle and Viktor are very responsive and helpful and have provided many tips and useful information to help us make the most of our stay in town. Many thanks to both of them! We will go back!!” Line, May 2011

“If you ever want to hit Dubrovnik the authentic way, Secret apartment is the place to go! We were delighted! Isabelle and Victor from Butterfly Services did a great job - we just said we needed something to feel home and they found the ideal place for us. The setting couldn't be more genuine: right in the middle of the old town, next to the church at the end of Stradun, pale stone mansion like a true Venetian palazzo, the atmosphere is unbeatable! Better not to recommend it to anyone and keep it to yourself! If you drop by Dubrovnik, go for it. If not available (most probably), ask the guys from Butterfly Services - they'll find you exactly what you need. We were enchanted! Literally. You know what? Don't forget to buy lots of candles from nearby shops. That will put to the place the final touch into magic”. N&K; April 2011

“As Viktor knows, I had a wonderful time. I loved the Divine I apartment (especially the garden). The location is ideal. Viktor's hand-drawn map of the old town was all I needed, along with his recommendations. Airport transfer was smooth and easy. Viktor was punctual in meeting me and helpful with my luggage. For some reason, I could not connect to the internet for one 24-hour period, but it wasn't very important. The rest of the time it was fine. Truly, it was one of the nicest holidays I've had and I look forward to returning. Thank you for everything”. Robert, April 2011

“We rented the flat Divine III for 4 days. The flat is well located (downtown, near the main street and the restaurants) and at the same time very quiet. The flat was overlooking a small garden, and not the street. It was furnished with all the necessary appliances, and very clean. Viktor’s welcome was warm: he was on time, gave us a lot of advice: where to go to dinner, which island to visit, where to have a drink in front of the sea, etc. Moreover he was always available for us. The stay was really fantastic. Without a doubt, and with great pleasure, we recommend their website.”Trip advisor review, April 2011

“Dear Isabelle & Victor, you were really great, guys, and I mean it! We did love our stay at Secrets III apartment and, goes without words, we would always turn to you should we or friends of ours pop up in your area. With our best, best feelings.”Nevena & Kalo, April 2011

“We enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik very much and were very happy with the apartment and the service provided by yourselves. The Citrus bay apartment was spacious and well equipped, with the patio being one of its best features. We particularly appreciated the personal service provided by yourselves, with Viktor meeting us at the apartment and giving us local information and advice – this was very helpful. You mentioned the small maintenance problems we encountered – these really didn’t inconvenience us at all because you dealt with them so promptly. We are happy to recommend your services to anyone considering holidaying in Dubrovnik”. Rosemary, April 2011

“Thanks Isabelle and Viktor. We had an incredible time in Croatia! The MirO apartment was perfect for us and if we ever make it back Dubrovnik, we'd love to stay there again! We've already recommended Croatia to all of our friends. If we have the chance to recommend apartments in Dubrovnik to any of our friends, we'll definitely send them your way. We found it really helpful that you were able to schedule day trips to Mostar and Montenegro on the specific days we wanted to go, and on such short notice. We enjoyed our drivers and the people we traveled with. The binder of suggestions in the room is how we found many of our favorite restaurants. And probably our favorite day in Dubrovnik was when we took a picnic and spent the day on Lokrum Island, which was something Viktor suggested to us. Also, it was crazy to run into you on the other side of Dubrovnik when we were visiting Kristen's brother. What a small world! Thanks again” Danny/Kristen. April 2011

“Divine 111 was a super find in the heart of Dubrovnik. It was in a perfect spot and was a comfortable and clean apartment. The only disappointment was that we did not have any gas for the stove which meant that cooking was rather difficult and we had to eat out in the evening. We did contact Viktor about this and he very kindly corresponded with the owner but the problem was not resolved. It made having a self-catering apartment a bit pointless! Viktor was a superb tour guide - we did exactly what he said to do and had a wonderful time. His knowledge of the area and recommendations made the 4 days we had in Dubrovnik packed full of exciting and worthwhile activities. The email correspondence before hand and after our stay was very good and Victor was easily contactable during our stay. Thank you again” Tom, April 2011

“Hvala za apartmany, bylo nam lijepo i vračamo se” Evzen, April 2011

“Many thanks for an unforgettable experience in your amazing city. I have always admired the beautiful citizens of Croatia and it was a pleasure spending five wonderful days in their company. Viktor is such a charming host and his information only added to our time in Dubrovnik. It was a pleasure to stay in the MirO Studio Apartments. It's location is second to none and you even laid on a live band for us! We will, of course, be recommending your establishment to all our friends”. John, April 2011

“ We would like to thank you for arranging everything so well, and for the use of Divine I apartment. It was all excellent - everything went smoothly from start to finish, and your guidance was really helpful too, in enabling us to find good things to do whilst in Dubrovnik. We were so lucky with the weather too - amazing to have such a week in early April. We enjoyed every minute of our holiday, and think that Dubrovnik is a wonderful place, and we really appreciated the welcome we received everywhere in Croatia”. Chris and Kathy, April 2011

“We had a lovely time thank you. Dubrovnik is a uniquely beautiful place .The Divine studio apartment was just what we were looking for – central, clean, well equipped. Its location was perfect – ideally central and close to everything. Thanks for meeting us so promptly Viktor – you were very welcoming and we took on board a lot of the useful advise that you gave us – all of the restaurants / café’s / sights that you recommended proved to be excellent choices and we are very grateful. On the whole we had a great time and we thank you for the part you played in making it all come together so easily". Danny and Jo, March 2011

“We had a wonderful holiday in Dubrovnik - exceded our expections in every respect. The Divine III appartment was cosy and fun, very well equipt and the garden view delightful and so surprising in a crowded town. Viktor's suggestions as to eating were spot on so that we enjoyed our meals very much. We would have liked duvets rather than blankets as we like to sleep in a cool room in a warm bed at home. We will certainly recommend Dubrovnik to our friends - Thanks for your welcome and help.“ Margaret and John, March 2011

“We had a wonderful weekend, back in grey London today! The Seville apartment was very smart modern clean and had a great shower and fully stocked kitchen. We visited in February and it was perfect and cosy for the slightly chilly nights. Also the location is great and we were at Pile gate in a few minutes. We got the bus from the airport and the owner of the apartment met us on time and was very helpful, arranging to meet us on the day we left to check out. The website is great with lots of information, pictures and different accommodation to choose at a price to suit you. We have used Butterfly services many times now as we are planning our Wedding in Dubrovnik and they offer a perfect service”.Tina, February 2011

"We had a great time in Dubrovnik and you contributed a lot to that!!! The location of the Divine studio is absolutely perfect, it was very convenient to get anywhere and it was great to be in the middle of the charming old town! We thought the studio was very nice and if felt cozy and comfortable. It was very clean, we cannot really complain about anything! We really appreciated the fact that the driver was already there when we arrived at the airport, the car was very good and clean, the transport was very easy and he was very nice and pleasant to talk to. Viktor did a great job at recommending the places we need to go to in order to take advantage of the beauty of Dubrovnik! We had some great food, saw beautiful places and enjoyed Dubrovnik very much thanks to all the tips he gave us! We would definitely recommend the Divine studio to any of our friends if they wish to visit Dubrovnik". Nicole & Thomas, November 2010

"We stayed at Secret II apartment recently and had such an amazing time in Dubrovnik! Thank you for everything, and thank you for making our stay in your country one that we will never forget."Mark, October 2010

"Dear Isabelle & Viktor. First let me say that we had a truly wonderful time in Dubrovnik and we only wish we could have stayed 2 weeks. We loved the flat - ideal for two people. It was so convenient for everything yet really quiet and peaceful. The location of the Divine III Apartment is perfect. Inside the city walls, so no problem with noisy traffic. It is only a few minutes walk to all places of interest in the old town. At the same time, although so convenient, it was very quiet, thus providing a perfect retreat form all the hustle and bustle of the town. We did not use the buses but they stopped just outside the old town, 3 minutes walk away, for anyone wanting to go to Gruz or the beach resorts of Dubrovnik. The facilities in the apartment were fine. All the information we received about the apartment, arrival information, etc was spot-on. The booking procedure was very easy.Butterfly services provided everything we needed. We particularly appreciated Viktor arranging the day trip to Montenegro for us. It is something we very much wanted to do and in fact we were the only 2 people on the trip which made it all the more interesting. If I return to Dubrovnik, which I very much hope to do, I will certainly use Butterfly services and almost certainly choose Divine III! Once again many thanks for your part in ensuring we had a really great time". Graham, October 2010

"We had high expectations which were exceeded by this beautiful MirO apartment which, whilst only a studio, was meticulously well laid out with some lovely little touches (eg fresh flower in a bowl), super-clean, and ideally located just outside the old city in a quiet street near a lovely little cove. We arrived quite late in the pouring rain to be met by Viktor, the very attentive owner, who helped make our stay so memorable with his suggestions of where to go and what to see and where to eat. We would definitely recommend the nearby Orhan restaurant which looks out over the cove. The city walls need at least half a day to fully appreciate the beautiful and dramatic setting. The old city is atmospheric, rich in a sense of history, romance and wonder but is also a place where people live and work. We certainly plan to return both to enjoy Dubrovnik and Dalmatia again. Our only regret is that we could not stay longer and we would unhesitatingly recommend this apartment and Dubrovnik". Trip advisor review, October 2010 "La semaine à Dubrovnik a passé trop vite... C'est une ville magnifique, avec une telle richesse architecturale qu'on se sait plus où donner de la tête ! Par contre nous ne regrettons pas d'être venus à cette époque de l'année (malgré les 2 jours de pluie...) car il doit vraiment y avoir beaucoup beaucoup de touristes l'été. Nous avons parcouru la vieille ville dans tous les sens, de jour comme de nuit, visité plusieurs musées, fait les remparts sous le soleil le dernier jour ce qui nous laisse un souvenir mémorable. Nous avons également bien profité de l'appartement Divine III qui est en effet comme vous me l'aviez dit un vrai petit "havre de paix". Merci encore pour la platine DVD qui a bien égayé certaines de nos soirées!) L'accès Wifi fut aussi des plus pratiques. Et je ne parle pas du chauffage qui fut vraiment utile !! Je regrette également de ne pas avoir fait votre connaissance et espère que ce n'est que partie remise!" Vanessa, October 2010

"We stayed at the Miro Apartments for a week. Victor was very welcoming and gave us excellent advice on where to go, what to see, and where to eat. The trips they suggested were also of an excellent standard. The room was off a very high quality – not large, but certainly comfortable and excellently designed. The location of the apartment was also very good – very close to the old town, in a pleasant small street near Pile Gate. Our room had a tremendous sea view too. All in all we had an excellent trip, and the Miro Apartment's were excellent value for money, in a good spot to explore the coast, and a good base to make day trips to Montenegro and Bosnia". Trip advisor review, October 2010

"We had a very pleasant stay in Dubrovnik, and thoroughly appreciated staying in the Divine III apartment. The apartment was very comfortable, and in a very convenient location for everywhere in town. The facilities were excellent, and the advice given on places to go at the start of our stay was very helpful, and helped us to make the most of our few days there. Many thanks". Clare & Michael, October 2010

"Dear Isabelle & Viktor, thank you for a wonderful stay at The Bougainvilliers Apartment . The accommodation was spacious, clean and excellently located. The view from the bedrooms and the large terrace was spectacular. We enjoyed the convenience of being so close to the city while the area was very peaceful. The transfer to and from the airport was so convenient and thank you Viktor for all your information and warm welcome. We would definitely recommend this apartment and your services to our friends and relatives and hopefully we will see you again". Susan, October 2010

"The Symphony apartment was lovely and we really enjoyed our stay there. Our only comments really are that with 5 women staying there there could have been more mirrors, particularly in the bedrooms. But overall an excellent quality apartment in a fantastic location! Thank you". Debra, October 2010

"Our stay at the Citrus Bay apartment was magical. Sitting on the beautiful patio, drinking Croatian wine, and looking at the Adriatic was beyond what we expected. Victor and Isabelle were so helpful. Victor arranged for our transportation from the airport with Petar Vlasic, who we used extensively during our stay. Butterfly services made all of the arrangements for our excursions to Montenegro and the wine peninsula. The apartment is in a fabulous location for the view of Lapad.. Even though there are many steps down to the main street, it is not a difficult walk. Often we took the city bus to town and a taxi home. Tlhe kitchen has everything you would need to cook, although local bread, cheese, and fruit are all we prepared. Having a washer was a real plus, since we came with only carry-on for 2 weeks. I can't recommend Butterfly Services enough. The planning for our trip took more than a year and Isabelle was very attentive during that time. Victor took very good care of us. Thanks so much for a wonderful stay in your beautiful apartment - and city". Lynne October 2010

"The Coconut apartment was fantastic it was roomy, very clean and exactly what we wanted everything worked and it was just amazing to sit and watch the sun go down in the outside dining area. We will definitely be back in Dubrovnik and hopefully this time for a few weeks longer. Thank you". Liz, October 2010

"You have been a fantastic person to book though, so helpful and kind! Thanks again!" Jacqueline, October 2010 "We had a fabulous time in Dubrovnik. The Divine apartment was perfect. It was in a great location, near all the sites and plenty of restaurants, but we didn't find it noisy at all being over the pizzeria. It was very clean and we had all the amenities we needed. The bed was very comfortable to sleep in. The shower worked fine. Viktor was extremely helpful when we arrived and we appreciated all his advice and tips of what to see during our stay. All together we found the apartment and service we received to be excellent and would definitely recommend you to our family and friends. Thank you for all the sunshine as well!" Sarah and Steve, September 2010

"We had a fantastic stay in Dubrovnik and really liked the Secrets IV apartment. The apartment was very comfortable with all of the amenities that we expected. The location was fantastic -- right in the center of everything going on. Your assistance, as well as Viktor's help was most appreciated. We were happy with the very prompt communication and answers to all of our questions as well as accommodating our late check in. Viktor's recommendations for activities and dining were spot on. We really loved our visit to Lokrum as well as the Banje beach. We also appreciated Viktor's suggestion to walk the City walls early in the morning which made our visit much more enjoyable as we saw what a mob scene it becomes later in the day. On our first night we tried Olivia for pizza at Viktor's suggestion and were really happy to have delicious food right around the corner from the apartment. We also tried Viktor's recommendation to eat at Lucin Kantun -- the food and wine were fantastic, the service was very friendly, and the location was charming and secluded. Perfect! Thanks again for everything! We would recommend Secret IV and your service to anyone visiting Dubrovnik and we will certainly work with you again at our next opportunity to travel back to Dubrovnik" Mark and Emily, September 2010

"We had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik; it really is an amazing city. Your assistance throughout made everything so simple and straightforward so thank you again for all of your help. The Paloma studios were very clean with fresh and modern décor in an excellent location. The transfer from the airport to the apartment was exceptional. You may remember our flight was delayed by over 6 hours. Regardless of this delay our driver was waiting to collect us at the airport at 1am. We were very grateful to him. The information we received from you was very helpful and informative. The booking procedure was swift and efficient and I felt I was provided with the best information in relation to staying in Dubrovnik. I would recommend your services to anyone travelling to Croatia". Siobhán, September 2010

"We had a wonderful time, thank-you, and got back safely. Unfortunately, we got back to the start of British winter, and have had mostly grey sky and rain since our return. So we'll just have to start planning our return to Dubrovnik. Villa Celeste couldn't have been more perfect. It's brilliantly located just outside the old town, only 5 minutes walk away from everything, but peaceful if you want to shut yourself away and enjoy the ambience and facilities of the villa. It was spotless when we arrived, and we had everything provided, from food in the fridge through to washed and folded gowns! During our stay, the housekeeper came in when we required - she was lovely, and kept everything as it had been when we arrived. Information we received before we arrived gave us everything we needed. Viktor & Isabelle responded promptly to all our mails, answered any questions we had, and were very accommodating. Everything was as we had hoped when we arrived. Everything about our stay was delightful, and we wouldn't hesitate recommending either the villa, or the service that Viktor & Isabelle offer. In fact, friends that joined us in Dubrovnik were coincidentally staying in another property managed by Viktor & Isabelle, and also mentioned how happy they were with everything. All the best and hope to see you again sometime soon..." Dan & Sterrin, September 2010

"The Secrets IV apartment was lovely. Thanks for everything!" Tasha, September 2010

"We loved staying in Cavtat, and the house we chose was a big part of that. We absolutely loved the location. No car necessary and the kids went out on their own to pick up bread in the morning. Even though down town is quite busy, the house and garden were so very quiet and peaceful. We have never spent so much time "at Home" when being away on holiday! The house was 5 *. Beautifully decorated, so very clean and well equipped. The transfer by the owner was great, on time and very comfortable. No complains about information we received either. Great services! We can only recommend your Butterfly services and Le Jardin des Citronniers . Thank you! We had a wonderful week in Cavtat. Uta, September 2010

"We thoroughly enjoyed our week long stay in the Divine apartment . Viktor and Isabelle were extremely helpful at every step from enquiry to check-out. The apartment itself is very happily situated with good facilities; it was very clean and well-maintained and had air-conditioning, which even in late Sep we used! The airport transfer was extremely helpful, and though our flight was delayed Viktor was still there to meet us at the Pile Gate. There was just the right level of information and though we preferred to explore ourselves, Viktor was available to offer advice if we needed it. If you are looking for a central, friendly and comfortable stay in the Old Town we recommend them highly. Thanks again for everything and I will recommend you to friends." Alice, September 2010

"We would like to thank you and Victor for all your help and advice on our recent trip to Dubrovnik. We had a wonderful time and the Om apartment in which we stayed was amazing. The apartment was immaculately clean and very modern. We also made a lot of use of the private pool which both of us loved. Having you to organise our transport to and from the airport left us with a very stress free journey, which was brilliant. We would have no problem recommending Butterfly services to our friends and family, and when we travel to Croatia again we will make sure to contact you to organise it. Many thanks again". Darren & Simone, September 2010

"We arrived around 5:00 on a beautiful, but very busy Saturday – the streets were crowded. Unfortunately, my husband had injured his back during the cycling portion of our trip and therefore I had to manage all the luggage as well as assist him into the Pile Gate - it was hectic to say the least. I was the first to arrive at the apartment and was delighted with what I found. The Symphony apartment was beautifully appointed and felt welcoming as soon as I arrived – I loved the décor. The kitchen was well stocked with everything we needed. The renovated bathroom was impeccable and there was plenty of storage in which to place our clothes. The apartment was very clean and fresh. The central location was a blessing given that my husband had difficulty walking. When we were planning the trip my husband had been reluctant to stay in an apartment preferring the full services of a hotel, but he was completely impressed with the accommodations when he arrived and came to really appreciate the extra space that the apartment provided. Last, and most gratefully, the owners went the extra distance and arranged for a wheelchair to assist us during our stay. In spite of the injury we were still able to enjoy much of what Dubrovnik had to offer. The neighbors were also very helpful and friendly and the restaurant below served great pizza. Some of our cycling companions dropped by the apartment and were similarly impressed. Isabelle, I would appreciate if you could an pass this on to Minja. They were very good to us and I would not want her to think I didn't take the time to thank them. Many thanks for everything" Gail, September 2010

"We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and Divine apartment ! Location was amazing! Facilities were great and it was comfortable and clean. We arrange our own from the Airport no problems, apart from the written instructions were a little confusing when teamed up with the map. Lots of info given when we got there about where to go and eat, which we used a lot! You provide a very good service and we will be recommending you to our guests when we get married next year. In particular the villa in Cavtat!" Tina, September 2010

"We had a nice stay at the Symphony studio and at the Green nest. Thanks Isabelle. I would only suggest that you ensure that each property has a 'Welcome Pack'. Perhaps Tea bags, coffee - The bed is nice!". Karen, September 2010

"We enjoyed our stay at the Om apartment . Location was great, the bus was close by to go to the old town. The apartment is very well presented and was very clean throughout. We were both impressed and delighted with it's comfort. Transfer was very good organized and, could not fault anything. Viktor provided excellent recommendations for places to go and eat. Both you and Viktor were very efficient and friendly!! We would recommend your service to any friends we have going to Dubrovnik. Thanks". Doug, September 2010

"I want to thank you for one of the most brilliant vacations we ever had. MirO Studio has a perfect location. Quite, with an"own" pier and so close to the Old Town of Dubrovnik with all the facilities of food, events and all things worth seeing. The studios are in a very good condition with a modern design and very comfortable. We lived there as inmates. We got a personal service from you and good advice. We are most grateful! All the islands and things worth seeing you pointed out for us. Recommendations of restaurants and small shops where we could buy as some sandwiches and some local places we found by ourselves. You arranged a trip for us into Montenegro and you fixed it with a very nice chauffeur who told us a lot of old and modern history. We saw some very nice places with Kotor and a little island deep in the bay. The nature was very beautiful, but there was a big difference between the countries. It was an interesting trip to make but we felt more like home in Dubrovnik. We also reflected over the nice people who invited us to many restaurants, they were very friendly and accepted a no thanks for a no thanks. We have been on other places where these people can be very irritating and disturbing, but not here in Dubrovnik. Thanks! But that memory which stays a long long time is the feeling that we were not only guests but someone you have known for a long time. The warm hospitality and the nice atmosphere you created is far from the usual at hotels and apartments. Thank you once again for the nice days. I haven't mentioned the weather, the clear water, the nature, the museum on the top, the market, the night strolling in the alleys of Old Dubrovnik. We have still something to come back and discover. And I hope we can see each other again. Thank you for the memories! Hope to see you in the future!" Ulf, September 2010

"The Miro Apartment was just perfect for our stay in Dubrovnik. We loved our apartment its so clever with it's layout. Very modern with funky designs so it was right up our street! It's in a perfect location just a couple of minutes walk from the Pile Gate. Isabelle & Viktor were fantastic; nothing is too much of a problem. Vikor gave us advice when we asked about places to visit and places to eat and drink. We had never visited Dubrovnik before, we were so surprised when we arrived how stunning it was, it was a holiday with a difference for us and we will certainly be back in the future. If your looking for a nice sandy beach ask Victor about the lovely quiet magical beach near the fancy villas (can't remember the name) and he tell you how to get there it's worth the 40 min walk to get to! We also took the ferry to Lokram Island, it's worth a trip. Gils Bar is great for drinks, fab cocktails, great views but it's very expensive! Buzz Bar at night is a must! It's tricky to find, but when you get there you will see a sign saying cold drinks with the entrance cut out the wall you will come to the top of the bar and just go WOW!! Will say no more apart from the bar is right at the sea with just the moonlight lighting the bar, go all the way down to the bottom, it's stunning and a memory I'll never forget. Great holiday, great apartment, good food & drink a holiday that will not disappoint :). Trip advisor review, September 2010

"We had a truly wonderful time all over Croatia!! What a beautiful, peaceful, hospitable country with so much to be proud of.......and so much respect shown to its vast history! WOW! As for the Divine studio apartment......that was just the best place to start our holiday. Peter picked us up promptly from the airport in his comfortable vehicle and competently answered all our eager questions on the drive into D. We were so thrilled to find how centrally the studio was situated in the Old Town and let us feel, straight away, that we had stepped back in time....a long time!!! Viktor was amazing with his enthusiasm and thorough knowledge of the area and gave us great tips on how to get started in seeing the beautiful city...thanks soooo much Viktor! The apartment had all that we needed to make us comfortable and was spotlessly clean and well furnished. Thanks for the little extras, like tea and coffee in the cupboard and milk in the fridge! We found the studio when we googgled accommodation from S.A. and found the apartment to be just as it had been advertised.....what would be available, how it looked, location etc. We appreciate that, as some places mislead you with photos etc. Thank you Isabelle for all your help, in advance, over the internet. Once again, thanks for making our start to this unforgettable holiday so great and may you always be full! Remember............if you ever make it to sunny South Africa..........look us up!" Mal and Sue Taylor, September 2010

"Good quality self-catering accommodation and a top-notch location, barely a minute's walk from the Pile gate and the entrance to the old city. It feels like a family run business, and the staff was knowledgeable, friendly and couldn't do enough to help: organising airport transfers, showing us the best beaches to go to, etc. I'd stay there again in a heartbeat. One of the most pleasant stays I've had. Thank you so much :)." Trip advisor review, September 2010

"Our room had a view of the bay, which was magical! The MirO studio had every amenity imaginable and it was very clean, tidy and modern. The carpet was a bit stained, but certainly doesn't detract from the stay. The city is at your doorstep! Trip advisor review, September 2010 "In a little quiet alley close to the Old Town of Dubrovnik we found our perfect staying. We slept very good after having been on sightseeing and eating excellent. The management of the MirO, Isabel and Viktor, supported us with excellent tips of where to eat, nice islands, sightseeing and much more. It is thanks to Isabel and Viktor we got a fantastic week with a special touch of a privilege guest. Thank you Isabelle and Viktor!" Trip advisor review, September 2010

Trip advisor review, September 2010

"This little apartment Divine III offers everything that you will need for a wonderful stay in the beautiful city of Dubrovnik. Fully renovated and immaculately clean we immediately fell in love with it. The location is perfect being situated right in the centre of the old city but a short walk from the beaches. Viktor offered a friendly welcome and plenty of information to help us get our holiday off to a great start. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this lovely apartment. The only drawback for some people might be that it is situated on the top floor and might present difficulties for those who find stairs difficult." Ben, September 2010

"We had a very enjoyable time in Dubrovnik. The Symphony studio apartment was excellent and the sofa-bed turned out to be quiet comfortable after all! We felt towels were not enough… It might be better if more towels were provided for people staying longer than 3 nights? Or have the towels changed very 2 days? Overall though, the apartment was excellent and perfectly located. If we were coming again we would definitely consider staying with you. Many thanks". Colm, September 2010

"We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik it really is a beautiful place! The Symphony Apartment is really nicely decorated in a good location, and very clean - we were surprised how big it was as the photographs on the website make it seem smaller. If we had a criticism it would be how noisy it was as the windows did not really block out any noise from outside. Transfer was a good choice. The driver was waiting for us, really nice car and he was helpful in recommending things for us to do during our stay. The information we received was perfect really, no problems at all, some really helpful information regarding restaurants, places to see etc…Thanks for all you help". Kelly, September 2010

"The Hideaway apartment was nice and met our expectations; especially the closeness to the sea was lovely. The only thing on the negative side was quit a lot of noise at night (from nearby Latino bar?). Your service has been excellent. Thank you". Hege, September 2010

"Modern and central location. The MirO studios had a small kitchen, bathroom, living area and bed area. They were compact but very nicely done, with modern decor of a high standard. They were located just next to Pile Gate, next to the old town, and were also only a few steps from the sea. There were numerous restaurants very close by, and the main old town bus stop was also within a two minute walk. The owners were very welcoming, and provided lots of tips. Overall, would definitely recommend" Trip advisor review, September 2010

"We stayed at Divine I apartment in the Old town. Location, fantastic, middle of old town but still quiet, very comfortable apartment with a great little garden, nicely decorated. Very happy with everything overall, info was very good and description very accurate. I Would happily recommend as a great place to stay to visit Dubrovnik. Might be an idea to warn people about the "any flight" check in at the airport so people can allow extra time, it was very chaotic on Sunday!! Thanks for everything, we will return!" Steve, September 2010

"The Green nest apartment was perfect, your services and all other things too. Thanks for all". Manfred, September 2010

"Greetings from Ireland. Symphony Apartment was perfect. Spacious & clean. Could have done with more Towels when staying for 7 days. But I got some extra ones when I met the cleaning lady. Pity about the stairs (we were on 2 nd floor and Imelda was on crutches!!!!!!!!!). Otherwise, lovely. Dubrovnik is a lovely city, weather was lovely. We enjoyed our holiday. Thanks Victor & Isabelle". Pat, September 2010

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the Miro Apartment from the 4th to the 7th September. The apartment was spotlessly clean and perfect for our needs as we were travelling with our 7 month old baby. The travel cot for the little man was ideal as it had a decent mattress and he slept beautifully. Also the apartment was on the first floor so not too many steps which is a must when travelling with a baby. Viktor also provided us with some excellent local knowledge. Excellent location as only a minutes walk to the Pile Gate and very quiet". Trip advisor review, September 2010

"We did indeed have a lovely time in Dubrovnik and are home safely. The Divine I apartment was clean, comfortable and well equipped. The location was great in terms of being central to where we needed to be. Decor was fine, although a little dated. The information I received from you before arrival was helpful. Viktor also provided some helpful information on arrival. There were some useful leaflets in the apartment. Your website provided helpful information about the apartment". Anne, September 2010

"Symphony studio is a nice apartment in an amazing location. Great information and service. Appreciated all amenities". Ana, September 2010

"Thank you Isabelle – Le Jardin des Citronniers was an excellent place for our holiday. Perfect hosts and perfect location. Many thanks, Dan. August 2010

"We had such an amazing few days in the magical city of Dubrovnik. The transfer was so convenient (the driver even had a baby seat!) and the Symphony V apartment was extremely clean and comfortable with beautiful views. The position just off the main street could not have been better and we would certainly recommend your service to friends and family. It was a perfect little holiday and we look forward to a return visit to Croatia at some point. Thank you". Alida, September 2010

"Isabelle - thank you so much for our time at the Coconut - we had a wonderful stay and very much enjoyed ourselves. The terraces in particular were spectacular. Location was great - although the 15 min walk to the old town was a bit exaggerated as would suggest it was a bit more like 20 min, facilities and cleanliness was good - Decor lovely and nice homely touches. Info we received was good. Overall we are happy customers and what a beautiful town Dubrovnik is! Michaela, September 2010

"We had a wonderful time at Paloma studio . The location is so perfect that we felt as a part of the town. Thanks to the beautiful intimate interior we immediately felt at home. We can just say that our apartment was the source of envy for all the guests at the wedding we attended and we loved everything about it. We even found out that it was better designed and more comfortable than the 5-star hotel where the other guests stayed. We recommend it to all our friends who plan to travel there in the future. We really appreciated the welcome we received! Thank you". Gaby August 2010 "Just want to say Thanks for the great apartment; Secret was just perfect for us! We loved our holiday; Dubrovnik is such a stunning place! We will be back! Jemma, August 2010

"We stayed for 3 nights at the Divine studio and thought it was great. Victor was extremely helpful on arrival; he met us at the gates and gave us some great suggestions for restaurants and things to see. Our transfer from the airport was on time, clean and the driver was extremely friendly. The apartment itself is in a great location; it was clean, comfortable and had everything we needed. We would definitely recommend this to any friends visiting Dubrovnik. Thank you for your hospitality. Lauren, August 2010

"We had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik. We loved the Hideaway apartment . What made it so special for us was the location. We were slightly disappointed that our first choice apartment in the old town wasn't available, but upon arrival soon became aware how lucky we were to be away from the chaotic old town, yet within very easy reach. The view from the sitting room window was also superb. It was clean and comfortable. As tourists we would have preferred the décor to have been little more traditional but we knew what we were booking. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend the apartment and your company to our friends and family. We will hopefully join you again in the future". Peter & Mhairi, August 2010

"The MirO apartment was perfect!! A small studio with a queen bed separated by a sliding glass door, but it was all that was needed and had all modern amenities. It was very clean and comfortable, we were on the top floor with an amazing view of the sea and an old fort, and the location could not be beat. It is right outside Pile Gate to the Old City, so we had easy access to great meals and the best attractions, but away from the noise on a very quiet block when it was time to sleep. Also, it was just a block away from the main bus stop, and a short walk to boat trips to beautiful island getaways and to rental cars. However, the best part about the apartment was the management company run by Isabelle and Viktor. Isabelle made all of the arrangements in advance by email and was incredibly responsive and helpful. Viktor, who group in Dubrovnik, worked out of the building next door during the mornings, and would spend fifteen minutes with us every morning giving us suggestions for day trips, highlighting maps and telling us the best places to eat and things to do. All of his advice was spot on, and as a result we truly felt like locals and had our own insider tour guide. They are the nicest couple and would probably become our good friends if we didn't live so far away in New York. We only wish we could reserve Viktor for every vacation we ever take!!" Trip advisor review, August 2010

"We really enjoyed our holiday in Dubrovnik. We were collected at the airport in a clean, air conditioned Mercedes and our driver gave us some very helpful tips of where to go and what to do on the drive to the city. The Seville apartment was easy to find and very well located in the old town. The facilities in the apartment were excellent and it was clean and modern. We really enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik with Butterfly Services and would not hesitate in recommending them and their apartments to friends, family or any one else visiting Dubrovnik. When we return we shall definitely use them again. Thanks! "Huw, August 2010

"I am afraid I can't give you any suggestions on ways you can improve your services, everything was really quite excellent. The standard of the Om apartment was better than any apartment I can remember, the girls loved the decor, and it was certainly very clean. Your communication throughout was very good, perhaps the apartment was a little difficult to find the first time but that is a small thing. Your suggestions on places to go were great and thank you again for finding me an optician at short notice. I would be very happy to recommend you to friends visiting Dubrovnik. Graham & Jo, August 2010

"We had a lovely time, really enjoyed it, and the Divine I apartment was lovely. The transfer was great; both drivers were really professional and very friendly. Information etc was fantastic, and it was lovely to be greeted and picked up by Victor. We did think it was fantastic and would recommend it to anyone". Sarah, August 2010

"We did have a wonderful time thanks – the Bougainvilliers apartment and setting were lovely and Dubrovnik is very beautiful. The arrangements all ran very smoothly and efficiently and it was nice to meet Victor – you were both very helpful. Hoping to be back in Dubrovnik one day". Janice & Caroline, August 2010

"We just want to thank you for everything. We had a nice stay at the Divine studio . Too short…You are so friendly. We will see you soon!" Esther and Roberto, August 2010

"The Divine studio apartment was nice and clean. The beds were a little hard to sleep on but overall we were pleased with the apartment and the amenities. Internet and satellite TV were a bonus. The taxi we arranged through Victor was on time and waiting for us at the airport. The comfort of the vehicle was really good. The information we received was very helpful. One recommendation is to have a basic map of the surrounding area indicating basic amenities like supermarkets and restaurants. All of this info was in the book but it would be helpful to have a map to visually identify. Overall we were very pleased with your services and our stay in Dubrovnik. I would definitely recommend you if the opportunity arises. Hvala vam puno i nadamo se da ce mo opet doci u Dubrovnik ". Lazar, August 2010

"Isabelle and Viktor, Thank you for a wonderful stay in Dubrovnik! The Secrets III apartment was well equipped, clean, and perfectly located off the Stradun. Our transfers to and from the airport were on time and friendly. It was wonderful booking with you and the recommendations for dinner and sightseeing were perfect. Viktor was a real trooper for carrying our heavy bags up all those stairs!!! I will definitely recommend Butterfly Services to friends and family. Thanks!" Kate, August 2010

" The Divine I apartment was very nice. May be the terrace could be improved for the kids but everything was fine. Thank you" Jordi, August 2010

"We had a great holiday in Dubrovnik and arrived home safe and sound and straight back to work.. The Divine III apartment was great. Its location was ideal, particularly given the lack of steps compared to other parts of the Old Town, and the fact that it was at the rear of the building you never heard any noise from the busy street below especially with the two restaurants. The decor and facilities were all that you really needed and the beds were very comfortable. The transfers were great, punctual and very comfortable. The information you provided was very full and very informative, several of the apartments we have stayed in previously in other cities provided no information at all. The services you provided overall were excellent and we will certainly recommend you to friends, relatives and work colleagues who intend visiting Dubrovnik". Many thanks. Amanda, August 2010

"We had a great and pleasant stay at the Miro studio apartments , and I wrote reviews (in TripAdvisor) to express our happiness about our stay. If we were to be back to Dubrovnik, we would stay, without doubt, at the Miro studio apartments". Rifat, August 2010

"Dear Isabelle & Victor. Thank you for making our stay in Dubrovnik such a pleasant one. We were generally very happy with the Bougainvilliers apartment - The transfer was very good - very well organised. Information received - very good. It was very reassuring to be able to talk to you during the booking process. Overall we had a great time - This has been a very enjoyable holiday and one we will recommend to others. Many thanks to you both. We look forward to seeing you again some time in the future! Lewis, August 2010

« We had a great week at the Bougainvilliers . The villa was clean and bright and just right for our needs. We felt the kitchen could have been a little better equipped, but no complaint really. Upon arrival we were very glad that Viktor helped us with the suitcases (and upon departure too). He was very kind and helpful. It was a shame that we weren't aware that you don't need a taxi in Dubrovnik, as we lost some money that way. Our transfer to Split was very tiring as there didn't seem to be air conditioning on the coach. But we absolutely loved Dubrovnik and the villa was perfect for our family.I am looking forward to returning one day and am interested in your other properties. Many thanks. » Jacqui, August 2010

"We had a wonderful holiday. You have a beautiful country and the city of Dubrovnik is amazing. With regard to the apartment everything was perfect. The location was perfect for access to the City and we found the apartment to be extremely clean and comfortable. The landlady herself was very nice and helpful in pointing out amenities like supermarket, restaurants etc. We would recommend your company and especially The Romeo Apartment to any parties travelling to Dubrovnik in the future. Sharon, August 2010

"We all found the Secrets II apartment amazing, we were thrilled with it. We did all LOVE our stay in the beautiful Dubrovnik and we have all said that we would visit again! I will also recommend others to visit, and definitely recommend yourself when they look for accommodation! Many, many thanks. Alex, August 2010

" All I can say was I was happy with everything, transfers made life easier although more than local taxi, the Paloma room was exactly what it was advertised at, I was impressed my shower was powerful and stayed warm, Michelle's went cold within 5 mins. The information and emails you provided prior to travel were excellent. I would certainly recommend Butterfly services to anyone and will/would use them again if am coming back to Dubrovnik. All the best and many thanks again. Gavin, August 2010

"Dear Victor & Isabelle. We had a wonderful week. The Citrus bay apartment was great, the transfer taxi punctual and the information you kindly provided very helpful. It was particularly welcoming to be met by all three of you and made for a very friendly situation. One suggestion I could make would be to have an optional welcome pack of a few basics e.g. milk/water/bread /butter/tea/cheese to be paid for at the same time as the balance of the rental. This might be helpful for people arriving after the shops have shut. But a wonderful apartment and one we would recommend to friends. Richard & Frances, August 2010

"We were very satisfied by the Secrets III apartment which was very comfortable and clean and very well equipped and quiet. We really enjoy the situation, in the heart of Dubrovnik old city. Concerning the transfer, it was perfect, right on time and well organised. Globally, were good service and organisation. We enjoyed our stay in this apartment and for sure we will recommend it to our friends visiting Dubrovnik. Thank you for everything. Hermine, August 2010

"We enjoyed then Divine I apartment very much, it was comfortable and an excellent location. Apart from a boiled egg for breakfast we never cooked as there are so many restaurants on the doorstep. We sat on the patio a lot early in the morning and in the evening when it was cooler. I would happily recommend the apartment to anybody who was hoping to stay in Dubrovnik. We had a fantastic holiday". John, August 2010

« Nous avons passé un moment inoubliable à Dubrovnik! Et cela, sûrement, grâce à l'accueil si charmant de Viktor qui nous a gentiment présenté sa ville et donné des informations très précieuses. Nous nous sommes sentis vraiment 'chez nous' a Secret IV ! Très bien situé, très agréable, propre et sobrement décoré... à notre image! Viktor nous a fait visiter et expliquer le fonctionnement de l'appartement. Nous avons été dans les différents bars et restaurants conseillés et les avons tous apprécié. Nous avons emprunté la petite route qui longe la mer pour notre excursion aux bouches de Kotor: merci pour le conseil, c'était magnifique avec le coucher du soleil en revenant! Merci beaucoup à tous les deux! Nous espérons revenir à Dubrovnik........Clémence, Août 2010

"Dear Isabelle & Viktor, thank you both very much for your help, both before our visit to Dubrovnik and during our stay. Your help, advice & assistance was greatly appreciated. The Divine apartment was spotlessly clean and met all of our requirements perfectly. We loved the locality of the apartment and the air conditioning was a welcome relief for us! We found all of the information you supplied incredibly helpful - both before our visit and Viktor was very kind to spend some time on our arrival with suggestions of restaurants, day trips etc. - Having the transfer on arrival was very helpful and worked perfectly to then meet Viktor at the Pile Gate to be shown the apartment. I couldn't fault any of your service and I would certainly recommend you to any friends or family that intend to visit Dubrovnik. I found it very helpful to be able to contact you directly and you always replied to emails and texts which was great". Eve, August 2010

"I had a great time and made it home safe and sound. I cannot fault the service which I received and the Divine studio apartment was perfect. I appreciated being escorted to the apartment but perhaps the client should be told of the short walk from the Gate to the Old Town. I personally had no problem but it might be a good idea to warn the clients that the taxi does not enter the Old Town. Once again thank you". Mary, August 2010

" Nos vacances sont hélas terminées, mais nous tenions à vous remercier. Notre séjour a été parfait, l'appartement Green nest très agréable et l'envie très forte de revenir dans ce très beau pays.Nous souhaitons le faire découvrir à notre famille et nos amis, pourvu qu'il ne change pas. Encore merci pour votre aide. Pierre et Nicole, Aout 2010 "Thank you again for all your help with arranging for the stay at the Symphony Apartment ! Overall we thought the apartment was excellent and it exceeded our expectations. We wanted to stay in the Old City, which the apartment is in, and the location gave us immediate access to all of the nearby shops, restaurants and sights. The apartment was extremely clean and comfortable, with all of the amenities of home. The décor was very tasteful and modern and it was obvious that someone put a lot of time and thought into its appearance. Access to the internet was an added plus that we did not expect but Butterfly/Isabelle did arrange for us to be met at the Pile gate so that we would have no difficulty finding the apartment. I cannot remember his name, but the gentleman that met us was quite courteous and pleasant and very helpful. Isabelle was very helpful with finding out information about ferry and bus schedules. She even went so far as to call the ferry terminal to get me even more information than I had originally requested. Information received was top notch both in terms of quality as well as how quickly we received it. The website is quite informative and easy to navigate. The information package and map that accompanied the reservation confirmation was very thorough and we used it often during our stay. Everything provided in terms of information exceeded our expectations. Service level is the most important quality of a good stay, and I have to say that Isabelle's service was outstanding at every step. Prompt, eager to assist, friendly and reliable. I believe that if more people who intend to visit Dubrovnik knew about her and Butterfly they would look no further. Thank you very much for a wonderful visit Joe, July 2010

" Miro Studio Apartments are literally one minute walk away from the entrance of the Pile gate of Dubrovnik. The apartments are also just nearby the sea side, there is only one building in between the sea and the Miro. The area and the city overall is very safe. Viktor and Isabella managing the apartments are extremely nice, friendly, and helpful to make your stay pleasant. They will also give you hints as to how to better enjoy Dubrovnik. Regarding the apartments: On a very quiet small street. The pics posted are completely correct. The apt offers a very comfortable queen bed, nice clean bathroom and toilets, satellite TV + internet, etc". Trip advisor review, July 2010 "Staffs are very friendly and helpful. Especially we appreciate that they arranged the room in the 1st floor (in European way) since we have a small kid. Restaurants they recommended were good too. The MirO studio was very clean and the bed was very comfortable. The kitchenette was useful enough to cook our breakfast and dinner which saved our money a lot. Above all, it is incredible that you have only a minute walk from the old city". Trip advisor review, July 2010

" Miro Studio : Perfect apartment in a very peaceful yet accesable location. Just steps from the Pile Gate of the old town and the sea. Very clean and comfortable with great staff. We were on the bottom floor, would perhaps have preferred an upper floor but there was no noise from apartments above. Everything was within walking distance, Walk the walls early morning or evening to avoid the cruise ship crowds, The Buza bar in the city walls is a must for a pre-dinner drink. No frills but the view is to die for. Also try the restaurant on the harbour on the left as you look to sea, always a queue but worth the wait for good honest seafood at a good price. We enjoyed this more then the very exclusive and expensive Nautika restaurant.. To avoid the heat and cruise ship crowds take a boat trip to Lokrum Island for a cool shady time with a good book. The Troubador bar with its live music is a good evening entertainment. Very hot while we were there in mid July, never below 32 degrees. I think a good time to visit would be May and September. A stunning place which is as yet relatively unspoilt". Trip advisor review, July 2010

"We are very satisfied with the stay at the Om apartment , your service and Dubrovnik in all. About the apartment: Very good, almost perfect. We mist some more cups, glasses, scissor at the kitchen, and curtain in front of the shower. Transfer: Very good, no further comments. Information: Very good and informative. We tested several of the restaurants recommended, and we were very satisfied. Your service: Very helpful and good. We have no problem recommend the Om to our friends in Norway. Thanks!" Arne & Anne-Bente, July 2010

"Friendly staff who would do anything to please. Modern, stylish apartments with aircon, tv/dvd etc kitchenette with fridge. Everything very new, high quality and comfort. Superb value for money and in an excellent location, 1 minute walk from the old town (via pile gate). Viktor and Isabelle arranged everything, nothing was too much trouble. The apartment was better quality than many 4* international hotels i have stayed in. My fiance (we got engaged here) and I would highly recommend the MirO apartments . Best holiday we have ever had, looking forward to returning". Trip advisor review, July 2010

"We had a great time thank you. The Bougainvilliers apartment was excellently located, clean and comfortable and suited us well. The booking procedure was smooth and everything happened, airport pick up, meeting at the apartment etc in a professional and well-handled manner. We took up most of Viktor's restaurant and activities advice (other than the Elafiti Islands, which we will do next time). Dubrovnik was an excellent host and we will definitely visit Croatia and the region again. Thanks," Phil. July 2010

"It's quite short as all was very good (Divine III , information etc…). Gilles, July 2010

"We recently stayed at the Miro Studio Apartments with our 1.5 year old child. As stated, the location is right off the Pile Gate, which is perfect for viewing the old town. The hotel setup a transfer from the airport to the hotel for us which was night since we were arriving after hours. As stated, the location is perfect, the rooms are great/spacious/clean, and you have a TV with a dish that has access to channels from all over Europe. The room is climate controlled which is great for warm summer months. As also noted, the people who run the apartments couldn't be friendlier. Viktor brought my son and I in to meet his wife and daughter...and his little girl shared her animal crackers with my 1.5 year old. You don't get this in a corporate hotel. They also setup a daytrip for us, and Maria actually helped translate some documents from my great great grandparents who came to the US from Croatia. They also provided an infant cot for my son. Free WIFI was also available, and we had no problems with it on the top floor. A fridge and stove were a nice tough as well. this was one of the best hotel experiences I've ever had though. Stay here and you won't regret it." Trip advisor review, July 2010

"Miro is a special little place in a very hectic area just outside the gates of the old town Dubrovnik. The apartments are very modern and provide you with a touch of luxury when travelling. The apartments have kitchenettes so that is a huge bonus if on a budget. The location is amazing. You are 200m from the old town yet it is off the beaten track so it's very quiet. And there is private cove 50m from your door that seems to be off the mainstream tourists radar. Viktor and Isabelle make you feel at home and go well beyond what is expected of hosts to guide you through your time in Dubrovnik. The old town can be overwhelming and they helped us with suggestions on how to work around the everyday tourist traps. It was a real treat staying at Miro !" Trip advisor review, July 2010

"Thank you so much, we had such a great stay in The Secrets IV apartment and will definitely be back. Thanks too for all your advice and recommendations. We found the apartment exactly as advertised and were very happy staying so centrally. It was spotless and very comfortable. We both felt very well looked after. Everything went to plan, we organised a meeting spot on arrival and Victor met us with a big smile and lots of valuable information on where to eat & drink, how to avoid the mass of tourists and various day trips (most of which we actually did). We would happily book through Butterfly again and will be happy to recommend to our friends and family. We can be very fussy but had no problems on this trip and are looking forward to returning. It sounds like you have properties that are suitable for our parents so we will let them know! Keep in touch and again thank you kindly, we had a super holiday but sadly it was too short and we appreciate how nice you were". Amicalement/ Sve Najbolje HVALA!" Selina & Robert, July 2010

« Laurent et moi avons passé une excellente semaine. La ville et ses environs nous ont beaucoup plu. Le studio MirO était parfait, bien situé tout en étant calme et fonctionnel. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié également l'équipe d'accueil dont Viktor, souriant et pro à la fois. Nous pensions, Laurent et moi, revenir peut-être l'an prochain lors d'un grand pont, en mai par exemple, ou en juin. A bientôt. Cordialement ». Catherine, July 2010

"We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik, and couldn't have chosen a better apartment - so close to the Old City, and with the added bonus of a pool! Thanks to you both for helping us with our stay - Victor's welcome was warm and most informative! His advice was very good - especially about avoiding the busy periods in town. The Bougainvilliers apartment was excellent - spacious, and with everything that we needed. We were very comfortable. The air conditioning was very useful, though we didn't have to run it too much. Once again, thanks for allowing us to stay in your lovely city! The seafood was delicious, and the ambience superb - it was a special place for our daughter to get married, and we had a memorable time! Best of luck in the future - we will recommend you and the city to all of our friends!" Paul, July 2010

"We enjoyed our stay at the Coconut immensely. The amazing views of the harbour, combined with the outdoor living facilities and our wonderful hosts Luca and Jasna made our holiday one to remember. The roomy air conditioned villa was a great place to relax and enjoy the superb views, watch the 50 inch plasma TV or just to chill out. We would highly recommend the Coconut for anyone looking top quality accommodation in an amazing holiday destination." Ewan and Keriata, July 2010

"Our stay in apartment Divine lll was extremely pleasant. The location of the apartment was absolutely superb and the apartment itself was clean tidy well equipped and exactly as described. The greeting we received from Victor was excellent and he pointed us to local useful amenities and facilities in a friendly and warm manner. We would highly recommend the apt to anyone and would be glad to use it again on a return trip to Dubrovnik. Thank you". Paul and Fiona, July 2010

"We all had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik - you live in a fantastic city. We travel as a family two or three times a year and our experience with you was the best so far. The Citrus bay accommodation was comfortable and very clean with everything we could have wished for, but it was the service you provided which made the difference between other holidays we have had. Your friendly and personal touch was greatly appreciated and your recommendations were spot on - we ate in all the restaurants you recommended and weren't disappointed. Transport to and from the apartment was faultless - even though we got slightly lost on the way to the villa (it made us realise we would never have found it on our own). Thank you for a fantastic holiday - we will definitely come to Croatia again". Bill and family, July 2010

"We had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik and we have been really impressed with your services as well as Ivor's. Therefore we have already recommended your services to our friends so they may contact you in the future. The Symphony apartment was very good and we were very happy with the apartment. Ivor was a fantastic owner and he was very helpful and informative all the time. We felt very safe and comfortable at the apartment during our stay. Your information pack was excellent. We followed your instruction quite often and as a result. We always ended up with nice restaurants/beaches/ etc.. We particularly liked a restaurant (Mediterranean tapas)! They are soooooooooo good! I like your website too - simple, easy to use and informative with good photos. As both of us have been spoilt with Japanese customer services (+ have been let down by so many times in overseas), we are very pleased to find you and your services! It's so rare to see the company like you in overseas to take care of customer services seriously. We may wish to go to Split in the future and would be interested in your services if you have any info. Finally we would like to thank you for your efficient and friendly services towards our holiday and wish you a great success on your future!" Mihoko and Roy, July 2010

"We can't speak highly enough of the support provided by Isabelle, Viktor and their staff in the lead up to and during our first visit to Dubrovnik. From our first email enquiry, responses were always prompt and caring - we were left in no doubt that we were valued as clients. The apartment was less than 200m from the entrance to the old city, yet in a very peaceful location (with very few steps!), with all the conveniences we were after. It was fresh and clean, well-appointed and came with an unexpected bonus of complimentary broadband internet access. Our airport transfer was arranged for us and Viktor met us on arrival, escorted us to our room and provided us with ideas for best utilising our time in the town. This support extended throughout our stay, which was punctuated by a week-long sailing trip and a brief hospitalisation, during which we had several queries and requests. There's nothing like friendly support when you're away from home, especially when things go a little wrong, and we certainly experienced that with the staff at Miro Apartments . In our eyes, they went over and above the call of duty – nothing was too much trouble". Trip advisor review, July 2010

"Our villa Le Jardin des Citronniers was really great. Everything was in the same way it was illustrated and described on your website, even better! The house was very lovely and excellently decorated! We did not felt us like in the hotel but like at our own home. The owners of our villa were very kind and met us themselves and brought us to the airport. Moreover, they tried to organize our free time during our last day in Cavtat, showed us Cavtat surroundings: Gruda, Molunat and so on. We also visited their house and were really lucky to meet such nice people during our vacation. As I have already mentioned, the description of the house suited the reality. So, we were not frustrated but, on the contrary, positively impressed! Your service is great! We are really thankful to you, that you found out extra for us this house in Cavtat! We enjoyed our summer holidays a lot and have regretted that we came only for two weeks, but maybe we will make up longer next year." Benazir, July 2010

"Excellent stay at Symphony apartment . Perfect location, excellent facilities, comfort and service!! Jose & Maria, July 2010

"We had a really great holiday in Dubrovnik & we were really impressed with the apartment. The location was perfect & facilities were exactly what we needed. The decor was tasteful & simple & the apartment was obviously kept clean & in a good condition. The transfers worked perfectly & it was really good to know that we didn't have to worry about bothering with taxis - especially as there were 6 of us. All the information we received both before we arrived & when we checked in was very helpful. Steve did mention that he didn't think the map on your website did the apartment justice in terms of location. It seems to show the apartment as being a bit further out. It was only when he checked on google map that he realised how close to the old town it was. Service in general was very good & it was nice to arrive to friendly faces & a warm welcome (not to mention help with the luggage up all those steps). We would definitely come back to Croatia & would recommend Dubrovnik as a great place to visit - either for a week holiday like we did or for a long weekend. If anyone we know is planning to visit Dubrovnik we'd be more than happy to recommend Bougainvilliers to them. Thank you for helping to make our holiday so memorable!" Claire, July 2010

"We are very grateful to you & Viktor. We had terrific time in Cavtat. We liked everything: Le Jardin des Citronniers , sea, food. I told everybody about you & villa that you found for us. It was really great time. The owner of our villa was very kind. They brought us to Konavle & their family house. We were very happy to meet you again. Thank you very much that despite that you were very busy you found time for us. I hope that one day you will come to Moscow & St. Petersburg". Nodira, July 2010

"Hope you're getting a break from the hot weather! Briony and I really enjoyed our apartment – Divine III - in Dubrovnik. The location was great - so central and accessible - and the apartment very clean and comfortable. The view from the windows overlooking the vines was wonderful to look at when eating our breakfast each morning. When the crowds got too much for us, it was so easy for us to have a break by returning to "our" apartment! The booking process was very straight forward and easy to follow. We especially appreciated the personal phone call to get the credit card details, the quick follow up to organise our pick up from the airport and Viktor meeting us and providing us with a map and information about Dubrovnik. Thank you for helping us have a very enjoyable, stress free stay in Dubrovnik. We will be recommending you to any family and friends that plan to stay in Dubrovnik". Kathy and Briony, July 2010

"We all immensely enjoyed our holiday in Dubrovnik, the accommodation you provided us with was extremely spacious, clean and Viktor was very welcoming on our arrival. The beds were very comfortable, and the pool, bathrooms and kitchen were immaculate. The information given on the website was very clear and useful and our expectations were met when we arrived, the pictures of the villa were especially helpful in getting across the size and layout of the villa. The booking procedure was very fast and both Isabella and Viktor were extremely good at keeping in contact up until we arrived in Dubrovnik. The tourist information Viktor gave us on the first day there was most helpful and enlightening, we would not have found many of the supermarkets without Viktor's help. The folder in the Bougainvilliers villa for good restaurants was also an extreme help to those that are unfamiliar with Dubrovnik. Overall we had an amazing time and would recommend booking a villa or apartment with Viktor and Isabelle to anyone considering a trip to Dubrovnik. Thank you very much for your attention to detail and ensuring we had a wonderful trip! Many thanks again". Alexandra, June 2010

"Thank you for all your help with our trip to Dubrovnik. We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik and really enjoyed our stay at Au 8 House . We were very pleased with the apartment which was clean, tidy and modern and in a very good location. The transfer that you organised from the airport was also very good and punctual. Thanks again for all your help". Kate, July 2010

"You were friendly as could be and we had a great experience. The Divine I apartment was CLEAN and convenient. The only things were wished for were laundry detergent and candles for the patio. All was good! Thanks again!!" Amy, July 2010

"Please accept our thanks for providing us with a wonderful stay in Dubrovnik. The Divine studio great, and Viktor's advice and suggestions for where to go and what to do was perfect for us! Many thanks again». Steve and Joanna, July 2010

"We really liked it a lot in Dubrovnik and the apartment was so nice!! We appreciated a lot the WLAN access there. Hideaway I apartment was very clean, central, next to the sea, air conditioning (my friend from America appreciated this a lot. I think Americans in general). We had all information needed and got also some more with our reservation document. That was very nice! The booking procedure was easy and via internet very comfortable. The possibility to get catched by the airport was also very good and comfortable. Your Service was very good! When we had a question our contact person was always reachable and helped us. I can't mention an aspect so far which should be improved. To sum it up, we were completely satisfied!!!!" Miriam, July 2010

"We had a wonderful time in Croatia. I am just now returning to San Francisco. We were very pleased with our accommodations Symphony apartments and would recommend you all to family and friends that may visit in the future. The apartment was in a great location, exactly as described by the website. It was spacious, bright and airy. Information received (description on website, booking procedure, arrival information, tourist information) were excellent! Everyone was very accommodating and easily accessible and responsive if there was an issue. Great service! Easy to communicate and do business with. Thanks again!" Lindsay, June 2010

"We did indeed have a wonderful holiday and both of us loved Dubrovnik and wished we had more time there so we will be back. The service you provided to us was excellent both before and during our stay and was by far the best level of service we had whilst moving around in Croatia. In terms of the accommodation Divine studio was extremely well located for our needs, was spotlessly clean and it was comfortable and more than adequate. All the information we received from you was good and the folder of information in the apartment was well used by us. I shall definitely be using your services again and thank you and Victor for making our stay so enjoyable". Perveen, July 2010

"We enjoyed our time in Croatia and had a good journey home. We liked Dubrovnik very much and Citrus bay was a very good choice for our stay there. Citrus bay's near-by and peaceful location was perfect for our family and the transportation facilities were very good. The apartment was comfortable and clean, the kitchen well-equipped and especially the terrace was fantastic. The information and the services we got were sufficient and e.g. the hints of the nearby Italian restaurant and the island of Lokrum were very useful. We will be in touch if/when planning a trip to DBV next time". Jani, July 2010

"We had a great time in Dubrovnik, mostly thanks to the lovely apartment and Viktor's helpful hints! The Secret IV apartment was very clean, felt very new and comfortable and was in a great location. Viktor was extremely helpful at check-in and gave us a lot of helpful hints and tips, which proved invaluable. You were brilliant at making sure we had photos etc and the booking procedure was all very smooth. Your services in general were great. The little things are very nice touches, like leaving water in the fridge and nice teabags etc. As I say I have already recommended you and will continue to do so. Thanks again for having us. When we're next in town, we'll be in touch for somewhere to stay!» Lisa, July 2010

"It was a wonderful time in Croatia and the Thalassa apartment in Dubrovnik was stunning! We really had a positive surprise experience there! Everybody thought it was the nicest place we stayed in Croatia, so congratulations :o)Everything we needed was there and even the internet access was repaired directly by somebody, so we had everything we could wish for. The Information we received upon arrival were good and sufficient and the service excellent. Also the booking procedure was very good and we felt being taken care of very well. We would like to thank you for this nice part of our holidays and be sure; we will recommend you to our friends! Have a nice day and best regards - hopefully we will come to Dubrovnik once more, soon". Miriam, July 2010

"We really enjoyed Dubrovnik and the apartment. It was as good as the description, but when you see the apartment it is even better. Perfect view to the sea, mini market very close and spacious rooms. The beach is near too, good connections. And very peaceful neighbourhood. We only missed some more cutleries, like scissors, cheese "cutter" and more knifes. The transport was well organized and on time. Nice taxi driver who told us useful things on the way. We had a good holiday in Thalassa apartment and would be more than happy to recommend it to our friends or other people. I miss the view already now .Thank you for a nice stay!" Kirsi Jari Sini and Sonja, June 2010

"We had a lovely stay in Dubrovnik, It's a beautiful place. On our arrival the transfer was waiting and was very punctual, our driver was very polite and told us a bit about the city, Peter and Viktor were waiting as we arrived. The Hippocampe apartment was very clean and we were very happy with it. The location had a great views across the bay, but the stairs coming back from the beach were very tiring, we came home with nice toned legs, I used muscles i didn't know existed (ha ha). I would recommend to my friends to use your services, you have been very helpful and I would like to thank you for your kindness and it was nice of Viktor to come and meet us. I will certainly be returning in the near future". Karen, Kenny, Rebecca and Lauren, July 2010

"We found the information on the Butterfly services website excellent, the photos, the description (rooms, equipment, etc) and the location of the apartment were all very helpful. Your answers to our emails were friendly and gave us the information we required. The booking procedure was easy to follow. It was very helpful being able to book our transfer to and from the airport through you with Peter who was polite and friendly. We were also grateful that you welcomed us on arrival at the apartment and that you had bought some essentials for us (milk etc) to keep us going until we got to the supermarket. The information you gave us of the local area, buses to catch to the old town, restaurants to eat at and tours to go on was very useful. (We still think the meal we had at the Taj Mahal restaurant in the 'old town' was the nicest meal of our trip! The apartment was clean, comfortable and had all we needed. The views were excellent, and the location was convenient to the beach, bus stop etc (once you got used to the 120 steps up the hill which was good exercise!). The 2nd bedroom was abit hot and stuffy Having said this though, we left the apartment and Citrus Bay with the opinion that we had had a very relaxing, pleasant holiday, in a comfortable and clean apartment and met with very friendly and helpful people. We would have no hesitation in recommending Butterfly Services to our friends back in Melbourne. Now all we have to do is try to adjust to the cold wintery weather back here in Australia!" Debbie, June 2010

"Mon amie et moi tenons à vous remercier pour la qualité, la courtoisie et la rapidité du service de Butterfly services. Nous avons passé un séjour magnifique dans cette belle région du Sud de la Dalmatie. La situation de l'appartement est très bonne. Lapad est un quartier tranquille avec tout ce qu'il faut à proximité. Thalassa est un bel appartement, beaux meubles et lit confortable! Tout de bonne qualité. Propreté: Rien à redire! Super. Sur le site internet on ne se rend malheureusement pas compte à quel point l'appartement est grand avec plafonds hauts. Peut-être utilisé un appareil photo grand angle pour rendre cet appartement tel qu'il est: beau et attractif. Malgré le plan fourni par vos soins lors de la réservation, on s'est quand même trompé de route une ou deux fois le premier jour. On dira que le copilote n'était pas très concentré...Tout se trouve sur place et Ariana nos a tout de suite montré sur carte les points importants. Merci pour tout. Quand on reviendra dans la région on n'hésitera pas une seconde à repasser par Butterfly services. En attendant je vous souhaite une bonne continuation et un bel été à Dubrovnik. Pier-Luigi, June 2010

"We are home now and want you to know that we had such a lovely time and that we did many, if not all of the things Viktor suggested. Great sights, delicious food, and Divine studio is a very convenient place to stay! Thanks!" Toni & Jeff, June 2010

"The Om apartment was fantastic. Very clean, great location with good transport links to the old town. The pool was lovely; we especially liked the lights so we could go swimming at night! All of the information we received prior to our arrival was very helpful. The booking process was very easy, and all of my questions were answered in a friendly efficient manner. Viktor provided us with lots of really good information when we arrived, his suggestions really helped make our holiday so great. I would definitely recommend anyone to visit Dubrovnik, and I would certainly recommend this apartment". Nicky, June 2010

« Bonjour a vous deux- Ca m'a fait très plaisir de vous rencontrer et de passer du temps dans votre bel appartement Secret II a Dubrovnik! Nous l'avons trouvé très propre, bien meublé et tranquille. Le service était excellent - merci pour votre accueil. A très bientôt » Mark, June 2010

"We were very impressed with the Thalassa II apartment . Very modern and comfortable and very impressed with the cleanliness. Location was good and very accessible. Walking distance to the beach which was handy and also to the Valamar hotel where we were able to use the pool. The view from the apartment was lovely and we enjoyed sitting out on the balcony. The main large supermarket was a bit far though and needed to take taxi back with our shopping, but only had to do this once so wasn't too bad. Ariana was extremely friendly and met us when we arrived. She was very helpful and pleasant to deal with during our stay. The only problem we had was taking the buggy up and down the stairs in the heat! It would have been good to leave the buggy downstairs in a safe area rather than taking it up with us. Everything was spot on. Booking procedure was very efficient and easy, and Isabelle was very helpful and understanding particularly with advice and arranging items for our daughter. The apartment was actually better than we expected and better than it suggests on the website. All the information that was sent to us regarding arrival to Dubrovnik and tourist information was very helpful. We were very impressed with your services and you made the whole procedure before our visit and during our stay (with the help of both Isabelle and Ariana) very pleasant. We will definitely be recommending the apartment and your services to friends and family". Gita & Bally, June 2010

"Thank you so much for a lovely time at Divine III apartment . We really enjoyed our stay. You gave us a lot of information, helped us on our arrival and departure and made us feel very welcome. Thanks a lot for your help!" Claire, June 2010

« Je tenais absolument à vous remercier énormément pour toute l'assistance avant et pendant notre séjour à Dubrovnik...Le studio Aramis était parfait, les restaurants conseillés délicieux, et la visite à Mjlet était simplement merveilleuse, nous avons eu une journée inoubliable suivant vos conseils...Je conseillerai désormais votre agence à tous ceux qui me demanderont des conseils pour visiter cette ville magnifique !!!!Encore une fois, merci pour tout! » Valérie, June 2010

"MirO studios : well located and exceptionally quiet location - just outside Pile Gate - and having the benefit of being in close proximity to the varied and mixed offerings of the Old Town and, importantly, not be subject to the "hussle and bustle" of actually staying within the confines of the walled city itself. A four storied building; beautifully and tastefully renovated and maintained. Use of space is clever and maximes space to best advantage. My wife was particularly impressed with the standard of decor in the wet room and would have quite easily asked me to remove the red tiles and taken them home if that had been possible! Viktor was an attentive and informative host on all aspects of our week in Dubrovnik and I would have no hesitation in returning to this establishment again or, as I'm doing here, recommend same to others. I'd like to think I'm being balanced with this review as I team manage a group of Property Management auditors back in the UK and after years of practical experience you can readily spot poorly managed properties! As far as Dubrovnik itself is concerned it should be a "must " for all independent travellers!" Trip advisor review, June 2010

"Viktor you were wonderful, very helpful and friendly and full of excellent suggestions. We loved Villa Celeste and its location is excellent. Viktor was our highlight of the entire trip and it is difficult to be the best in a friendly country like Croatia. We will be back" Lambert, June 2010

"Dear Isabelle and Viktor. We would like to thank you for an amazing holiday. The Hideaway I apartment was in an amazing location - we loved where it was situated and will miss watching the lady fishing on the end of the pier to feed the 3 cats every evening!!! It was also wonderfully clean and tidy. We were very impressed with your professional service and can not thank you enough for the helpful tips and advice that you offered - it really helped to make our trip amazing! Such as buying our sandwiches from Skola then heading to Lokrum Island - then we found the dead sea water hole and were so grateful that you had suggested taking our lunch over! And we loved St Jacobs beach and would never have gone there if you had not recommended it. We met other tourists along the way who had not been given these little tips - so we felt very fortunate. Unfortunately we did not see all we wanted to so we will be back soon and will certainly recommend your apartments and exceptional service to any of our friends and family." Melanie, June 2010

"We have just returned home to Australia after a fantastic trip covering Croatia, Romania, Ukraine and Turkey. Our stay in Dubrovnik and the MirO Apartments was very enjoyable - especially with the kind help and advice provided by you both! Hopefully we will be able to visit again soon!" Bob and Marie, June 2010

"We stay a week at Secret I apartment . Location is excellent, ideal for touring Dubrovnik on the stradum with only stairs to the apartment. Transfer was standing waiting on us; give us information along the journey. Great car and nice to be driven around. The booking procedure etc was fantastic. Answered all our questions. Very helpful and friendly owners. They let us stay in the apartment a lot longer than we should have been. Also they let us stay in the apartment upstairs when it was raining on our last day instead of going out in the rain. Much appreciated. All in all, all the wedding party believe that we will be back this time next year. We showed a few people our apartment, so hopefully word will spread about this apartment". Lucille, June 2010

"We have a really lovely stay in Dubrovnik and the Divine I apartment was ideally situated for anyone wanting to be 'in the middle' of everything. The accommodation was great, as you will have noticed we did not use many of the kitchen aids as we prefer to eat out - but they were certainly clean, up to date and would be useful for anyone wishing to 'eat in' We were particularly impressed by your attentiveness both before and at the end of the holiday, the transfers were on time and very comfortable and you made sure we were not left waiting about - for which we would like to thank you. I would have no hesitation in recommending your apartments and service to our friends and family and are looking forward to showing them photographs of your beautiful city. Thank you again - and have a good, prosperous summer.". Rosalynne, June 2010

"We stayed at the Porthos apartment ; its location is EXCELLENT, within old town walls, right next to the cathedral. The location was magical. This truly made our experience in Dubrovnik memorable. Comfortable queen size bed, very clean room, bathroom and kitchen, laundry facilities available. The apartment description was accurate, and even better than what we expected in terms of location and comfort! Isabelle was wonderful, very pleasant to work with, gave us good information for buses/transportation. Thank you! We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and can't wait to come back!" Tim, June 2010

"I had a lovely stay at the Divine III apartment . Thank you very much. To be honest I can't think of anything to improve it was all wonderful and you were both very helpful. We'll be back!" Louise, June 2010

"We really loved The Hideaway I apartment! The apartment has plenty of room and makes you feel welcome. It's location just outside the old town wall near Pile Gate square is excellent. If we had any questions we could always contact you or Viktor. This was very helpful. We will certainly recommend this apartment and Butterfly Services to our friends and family! Again thank you for all your". Marlyne, June 2010

"We had a fantastic time in Dubrovnik! The Divine studio was perfect for what we wanted, and the location couldn't have been better. Viktor gave us some great tips and was really friendly and helpful on arrival (especially with restaurant recommendations!). We will absolutely recommend your apartment to other friends and family visiting Dubrovnik. Thanks again - we had a lovely time". Annie and Leo May 2010

"We had a lovely time in beautiful Dubrovnik. Everything was perfectly arranged from pick up at the airport until the drop off at departure. The driver was very nice and already gave tips about Dubrovnik. The welcome in the 'Om Apartment ' by Victor was fantastic. The house was beautiful, the baby bed was a high tech piece of furniture with lights and music in it :-), a lovely swimming pool, and a nice location. The total service of Butterfly Services was wonderful. The information on the website, the total booking procedure and all the information we received made our stay in Dubrovnik great! Thanks again for all your help, we will recommend you to our friends and hope to see you again in the future!" Eefje, June 2010

"Your service was invaluable especially your information about the area and the travel, tourism options. The Hortensia apartment location and cleanliness was perfect. And it was so modern too. I would recommend this apartment. Thank you!" Wing-Sze, May 2010

"This was my second trip to Dubrovnik and I was so thrilled to have booked at MirO Studio Apartments . It leaves the competition (Sobe and hotels) for dead. Advantages: excellent location one minute walk from the Pile Gate, modern, bright apartment, exceptionally clean, double-glazed windows and air-conditioning keeps you cool and the outside noise out, friendly and informative staff, good price. I would definitely recommend MirO to friends and family. I'll definitely be back!" Trip advisor, May 2010

"Stayed here for 2 nights at the beginning of May. Met by Viktor from the transfer which was arranged with his wife and on arriving were given some good tips on how to best utilise our short time in Dubrovnik. Apartment has been cleverly designed to give a good impression of space and is very modern in style, spotlessly clean and had everything you need to self cater. Location is excellent in that it is very close to the entrance to the Old Town but also is close to a sheltered cove away from the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik when the cruise tourists are in town! One word of advice, if you are not very fit choose a room on the ground floor as there are no lifts to the upper apartments. All enquiries with Viktor and Isabelle prior to arriving in Dubrovnik were handled very promptly and the transfers to and from the airport ran very smoothly and were reasonably priced. In summary, lovely apartments, very accommodating hosts, beautiful city and would highly recommend the Miro ". Trip advisor, May 2010

"Beautiful, clean apartment with daily maid-service. All the 'mod cons'. Perfectly located. Very friendly and extremely helpful staff". Trip advisor, May 2010

"It was a pleasure to meet you both and Charlotte. Thank you so much for meeting us in the pouring rain, and at short notice. We have nothing but praise for Butterfly Services - from our initial contact with you, right through to the time we left. The description on the internet was accurate, the booking procedure was simple and Viktor provided the best tourist info. The apartment Secret I was very clean. - we were very happy with it. The location is superb, it couldn't have been more central, and the fact that there were no steps to get to it was a bonus. It was well equipped and comfortably furnished. Once again, thanks for everything".Jackie & John, May 2010

"Thank you for a wonderful stay at the Om Apartment . We indeed had a great time in Dubrovnik and the apartment. The location, facilities, and apartment in generally were wonderful and exactly as represented on the website. All the transfers were prompt and professional along with the check in and check out procedures. We particularly appreciated the little extras of the juice, milk and fruit that was there when we arrived and your generous assistance in lending us the 100 Kuna until we could make it to a bank. We have absolutely no complaints at all and would be happy to recommend the apartment and your services to our friends and family. We particularly enjoyed the Yatch Club!!" Louise, Carl and Candice, May 2010

"We had a wonderful holiday, thank you very much. Regarding Villa Celeste , it was really lovely & couldn't be in a better location. I found the drivers very pleasant, especially the driver who did the airport transfers and Cillipi, he was extremely helpful but also very eager to pass on knowledge about the area which was really interesting. As for your services in relation to the booking, details etc, I couldn't fault them. Once we got to Dubrovnik we got a great service, it really was very personable & homely, which added to our enjoyment of the holiday. We wouldn't hesitate to use your services again. Many thanks". Marie May 2010

"Thank you very very much for an excellent holiday. You organised things superbly, and we really had a very good holiday. We were very pleased we chose an apartment, rather than stay in a hotel outside the town. Three days, we did things in the town, went back and made some lunch, had a quiet drink and read on the terrace, and attacked sight-seeing again in the afternoon. We were so pleased we didn't have to join the hordes all day. Dubrovnik and night was a delight - plenty of places to eat and we did two concerts as well. Apartment especially appreciated the two mornings it was raining - we could just have a lazy time and still be part of everything. Location excellent couldn't have been better. We were just two friends who wanted separate rooms, so we left the sofa bed up all the time - there was plenty of room. We didn't use the dishwasher or washing machine at all, nor the oven. Beds were very comfortable with plenty of pillows. Bathroom and shower were excellent, with plenty of hot water. We specially booked the Divine apartment because of the terrace. Overall, good value for money and we'd stay again. Information received was excellent. Your services were excellent. We hadn't been before, and were very relieved to see our taxi-driver waiting for us, and Viktor waiting - he even carried our suitcases up for us. Very smooth, arriving and leaving, and very reassuring that, if we we were affected by volcanic ash, we at least had friends to help in Dubrovnik. Many thanks for all your help - I'm keen to bring my husband another year and do Dubrovnik - Korcula and Hvar. I'll certainly contact you for help". Sue, May 2010

"Just wanted to say a huge thank you for your hospitality over the weekend at the Hideaway I Apartment. I hope to see you again in September. Both myself and Cianan really appreciate your time and assistance in letting us view Greco villa. It is very reassuring now that we have seen it and the owner is a lovely person. I think closer to the time we would take her suggestion on the flowers as it would be nice for the photographs on the morning of our wedding. We will be back in touch with over the next couple of months just to arrange transfer details. Aine, May 2010

"We enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik very much. We liked the Athos studio in every respect and were very content with the flexible booking procedure and the service in general. Thank you!" Anne May 2010

"I just wanted to write you a short note to say that we loved our stay in Dubrovnik, everything worked out very smoothly, and the apartment Symphony I was perfect for what we were looking for. Thank you for being so helpful, I will definitely recommend you to any friends planning a trip to Croatia!" Dominique May 2010

"MirO is the Perfect place for some happy days in Dubrovnik. Nice and cosy apartments furnished with style and taste. Victor is helping in perfect English with his hints to discover the best places in Dubrovnik. Brilliant location: so close to the city wall and the sea, but still very calm. Again: Thank you very much!" Martina May 2010

"We really enjoyed our time in Dubrovnik and our stay at Divine I apartment . Your assistance pre arrivals, on arrival and during our stay were greatly appreciated. Thanks again for the kindness and assistance you provided us". Mike & Bev, April 2010

"We really enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik and would like to thank you for being such welcoming hosts. We think the design of the apartment was absolutely fantastic and would have no hesitation in recommending the MirO apartments to anyone who would like to stay in Dubrovnik. Many thanks!" Mike & Sharon April 2010

"Citrus bay location was ideal for us, bus into the city was really easy but we had the local facilities too, once we had realised about the short cut that made the steps easy and James and Chloe had no problems with them. The apartment was really very clean and very comfortable, ideal for what we wanted. Information received - again all excellent, really good to meet at the hotel as we had a map but we wouldn't have followed the road I think, the information on the website were exactly reflective of what the apartment was. I will send out a recommendation on our local parents group. Thanks for all your help." Clare May 2010

"Dear Isabelle and Viktor. The return journey was good, just a shame to leave such a lovely place to return to a cold Scotland. Everything about the Divine IIII apartment and booking process was excellent. We constantly commented on how great it was to stay in the Old Town as we were so close to everything compared to if we stayed in a hotel. The information that Viktor told us on the way to the apartment was great, I think the Taj Mahal was the best meal that I had all week. I will definitely recommend Butterfly Services to any friends or family going to Croatia. Thank you" Mary, May 2010

"Just to say I had a lovely time in Dubrovnik. The MirO apartment was stylish and comfortable, in a superb location and delightfully peaceful. I would also like to add that with only one exception ( the cashier in the supermarket!) all the tour guides, waiting staff, taxi drivers etc were brilliantly helpful and cheerful. I particularly enjoyed the restaurant in the tiny harbour near the apartment (Orhan?) and the bar overlooking the sea just outside the city walls (Buža 2?). And thank you to Victor for his suggestions of what to do and where to go.» Judith, April 2010

"My stay was very pleasant and I loved Dubrovnik. Thanks to you and Viktor for lovely accommodation Divine studio- . I hope to stay with you again!" Tom April 2010

"We enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik and the Secret I apartment very much. Thanks for your trouble of making us feel at home. And thanks for the flowers.... The welcome and pick up were very nice, your suggestions for trips and eating well picked. I must admit we were lazy and did not explore a lot....Dubrovnik is lovely; It was really lovely to go out boating. We would definitely recommend you to friends". Marinus & Dagmar, April 2010

"Thank you Isabelle - you are very efficient and it gives us great comfort, booking from such a distance, to know that you're "on the ball"! Look forward to meeting you in July. Kind regards, Graham "Thanks again Viktor for making us so welcome during our recent stay at MirO and for all your tips. I will definitely be re-visiting Croatia at some stage and I will be recommending your apartments to anyone thinking of visiting Dubrovnik. Take care". Paddy, April 2010

"We've just returned from a whirlwind five day visit to Dubrovnik. Having extensively researched potential accommodation, we settled upon one of the MirO apartments . For us, location and modernity were key factors. Hotel options close to Dubrovnik's old town are very limited and we wanted to avoid wasting time having to journey in and out every day. Hotels are also expensive and don't always offer the degree of independence and autonomy which we were seeking. Of course, one never knows whether experiences logged by fellow travellers and the descriptions available on websites will actually match up to what one finds on arrival. However, in this case everything was exactly as we had been led to believe, topped only by the charm, hospitality and knowledge of Viktor and Isabelle. The apartments are located in the perfect position, a quiet little street only a minute or so's walk from one of the main access points to the old town, the Pile Gate. In fact they are a stone's throw from a charming little cove which, many many years back, served as the original old port for the town. There is a delightful restaurant here and a mini market and bakery just around the corner. There are a couple of other restaurants nearby but the location of the apartment's means that popping back into the old town to choose from scores of alternatives is a breeze" Trip advisor review, April 2010

"The MirO apartments have been ingeniously planned, offering a very comfortable double bed (queen size), modern furnishings, a sitting area with satellite TV and DVD player, a fridge, cooker, microwave, a bathroom area with shower and a separate toilet. There is also air conditioning which I'm sure would be most welcome in the summer months. A number of sliding frosted glass screens or doors can be rolled back and forth to section off the bed area. It's all very clever, not large but more than adequate for a short stay whilst exploring the area. MirO is about clean, contemporary, practical and well resourced not about plush, chintzy or faded glory! There is a tardis like quality, space having been utilised to amazing effect. In truth, what one trades in by way of space is more than made up for by the location, the modernity and the genuine care and concern of the owners to make sure that your stay is as comfortable and worthwhile as possible. This was our first visit to this part of the world and the trip exceeded our expectations. The walled city is fantastic, there are nearby islands to explore and the Adriatic is crystal clear and an azure blue in places. We were welcomed everywhere we went. Viktor has a number of bargain tips. Caring, very knowledgeable but unobtrusive and only there to answer your queries if you chose to sound him out. A delightful host of a delightful apartment in a delightful location". Trip advisor review, April 2010

"We spent Easter in Dubrovnik. The city was gorgeous, the weather glorious and the location of the MirO apartment absolutely perfect. It was clean, new appliances and furniture (very comfortable bed) and trendy/urban deco. We even got traditional Croatian cookies and cakes in the morning". Trip advisor review, April 2010

"We really did enjoy our time at Thalassa and it was an added bonus being able to meet up with you both. We found the accommodation excellent and exactly as you detailed it. For visitors without cars, the location was ideal, being so close to the local buses and supermarket. The facilities were very comprehensive and the back-up from the proprietors was very professional. We were most impressed with the quality of all the fittings and the cleanliness was brilliant. We were most impressed with the constant supply of fresh washing up liquid, soap, dishwasher tablets and the endless supply of towels! We felt very safe and secure there and also feel that as the accommodation is so warm it could so easily be promoted for year round holidays. We also felt that for self-catering, Dubrovnik is far less expensive than the € zone and the plentiful supply and quality of local fruit, vegetables and general groceries means that holiday costs are significantly more attractive! The info in the Tourist Offices is generally free and very good. We always do as much research as possible on new destinations before we set off and were so fortunate in that you filled in the gaps in our knowledge by giving us very detailed info on steps, distances from shops and a multitude of info on the bus services which meant that we arrived fully briefed - thanks again for this! To summarise, we had a SUPER time and really enjoyed the apartment. You run a very professional, comprehensive and knowledgeable organisation and we have really benefited from". Clyde & Hazel, February 2010

"Nous avons été très heureux de notre séjour à Dubrovnik et surtout d'avoir eu la chance d'être accueillis dans notre langue. C'était inespéré… Nous avions ainsi l'impression, dès notre arrivée, d'être chez nous. Vos studios MirO sont aménagés avec beaucoup de soin et de qualité. Nous n'avons manqué de rien, tout était parfait. Dans tous les cas, nous ne regrettons pas d'avoir choisi cette date, loin de la période touristique, pour côtoyer de près la population et l'authenticité des lieux. Votre ville natale est un véritable enchantement. Nous garderons dans notre mémoire, parmi tant d'autres images, votre joli quartier avec ses riches façades et ses ruelles étroites. Nous avons fini par le tour des remparts, une manière pour nous de remémorer les lieux avant de les quitter, hélas, à regret". Jean-Paul et Isabel, January 2010

"Our stay in Dubrovnik was great. The accommodation Secret II was perfect. It's central location made it ideal for exploring the Old Town and easy to return to for a break in between sight seeing. Even though it's in the heart of the town, it was very tranquil & I didn't hear the church bells in the morning. The apartment itself was clean, comfortable and well equipped. Information received both before the trip and upon arrival was more than adequate. The description on the website was honest & accurate and the booking procedure was very straight-forward. In addition to that, any questions I had were readily answered. Arrival information, getting from the airport to the meeting place and advice about where to go - from grocery shops to restaurants & what to see - sights in Dubrovnik & around - was extremely useful. Your service in general was excellent - from the information prior to arrival, meeting up and being shown to the apartment and the apartment itself. Friendly, helpful, informative & professional, but not intrusive. I will most definitely recommend the accommodation and your services to any family, friends & colleagues who intend to visit Dubrovnik & hope to use it again next time I'm in Croatia". Russell, October 2009

"Our holiday was very enjoyable ---your country is beautiful! The apartment Citrus bay was first class and in the best situation---away from the crowded town. Hopefully we'll return some day---many thanks for all your assistance". Roger & Liz, October 2009

"Thank you again for a most pleasant and interesting stay in your beautiful city! We came across your apartment hotel on the internet when we were looking for accommodation for a week. Our first priority was to find a place close to the old town, and we felt that we were really lucky in that the MirÓ was so close to the busy tourist activities and still situated in a very quiet street. Being so close to the bus stops also made it convenient for us when we wanted to visit other parts of the town. The apartment itself was very much to our satisfaction, clean and equipped with all we needed for a week's stay. Let me also add that we very much appreciated the suggestions we received with regard to places to visit etc. All in all our stay in Dubrovnik was every bit as successful as we could hope for. We will gladly recommend your accommodation to our friends". Audun & Ida, October 2009

"We had a great time despite the weather, the only thing we would have done more of had the weather been better were boat trips to some of the islands. Regarding the accommodation Citrus bay , information and your services in general we could not fault it, the apartment had everything we needed and you and Viktor were very helpful and welcoming. A special mention also for the driver you arranged for our transfers, he was very informative and interesting, telling us about his personal experience of the siege of Dubrovnik and taking us to see some of the war damage on our way back to the airport. The only thought we had regarding the apartment was that a larger party may have found the lack of a hanging rail in the second bedroom a slight problem. If we hear of anyone thinking of visiting Dubrovnik we will be sure to mention your services." Gordon, Carol & Kristina, October 2009

"Thanks to you for your attention during our time in Dubrovnik. MirÓ studio was fantastic and your country is really really really nice. The transfer to the airport was great. The driver was really fine" Jesus & Edurne, October 2009 "We really enjoyed our visit to Dubrovnik and thought the MirÓ apartment was excellently located and appointed. I think the only suggestion I would make to improve the quality of service even more would be to have an interim cleaning service. I would have expected a maid to come in and clean the apartment at least once during our stay. All in all though, despite this we had a really great time. I wish Butterfly Services Ltd all the best for the future". Genevra, October 2009

"Perfect location! The MirÓ apartments are just by the Pile Gate to the Old town, one house back from a small quaint cove. They are in a quiet lane. The buses for the port and the taxi rank for the airport are about 75-100m away. Host was very helpfully with a late check out ...great as it had been raining all day. Had my parents with us and the location was perfect as its flat to the old city (10 or so steps)". Trip Advisor review, October 2009

"The MirÓ apartments : Couldnt have picked a better location - within easy walking distance of a picturesque harbour (1 minute) and the Old Town (3 mins) with its restaurants and bars. Also close to the buses for the other harbour, taxis to the airport and a hire car in the Hilton just up the road, bakery round the corner for fresh bread/croissants every morning too. Apartment had everything we wanted, including a DVD player (we took some to watch) and a separate toilet from the bathroom. Pretty compact but fine for two people." TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"Here are our thoughts about our experience in Dubrovnik. A lovely, clean and homely apartment -Divine studio , located right in the middle of the hustle and bustle of Dubrovnik old town, and within very easy walking distance of shops and restaurants, and excursion points of departure. We were greeted by Viktor. The studio apartment was perfectly adequate, and very clean. There was a small two ring hob which was handy for simple hot breakfasts and snacks. There was a busy restaurant at the bottom of the stairs, and I was initially concerned as to how noisy it would be at night, but the double glazed windows and shutters provided great sound-proofing, and we didn't suffer any sleepless nights. The air conditioning was instantly very effective, and was a godsend when we'd been out in the hot sun all day. The website description was very accurate, and we were not in the least disappointed by the facilities. Isabelle was friendly and helpful when Catherine booked our apartment, and the process was very smooth. Viktor was enthusiastic and friendly on arrival, and talked us through the detailed tourist information he had provided for us. He suggested lots of different trips that might interest us, and although we did end up making our own arrangements for most of our excursions, he gave us lots of good ideas. He also pointed out several good restaurants, and when we tried them, the food was indeed delicious! Once Viktor had settled us in, we were left to our own devices, which is exactly how we wanted it, but we knew help was only a phone call away should we need anything. When we were due to leave on Friday, our flight wasn't until late evening, but Viktor and Isabelle very kindly allowed us to stay in the apartment until it was time to head for the airport, rather than insisting we check out first thing in the morning - this was a really nice touch, as the weather was really bad on that day, so we were in and out sheltering from the rain. Viktor also arranged our transport back to the airport and waited with us in the rain until we were safely on our way, which was very much appreciated too. All in all, a fantastic holiday, and we wouldn't hesitate in recommending this apartment to our friends. Thanks for having us!" Tony& Catherine, October 2009

"We stayed in The MirÓ apartments Studio 6, a top-floor apartment which is smart, well-equipped and has a great view of a small bay – you can fall asleep to the sound of waves lapping on the rocks. The location is just a couple of minutes' walk from the Pile Gate, the main entrance to the Old City of Dubrovnik. The apartment manager was friendly and helpful and was kind enough to meet us off the airport transfer bus and take us to the apartment – which was nice as it was dark and pouring with rain when we arrived. The apartment had air conditioning, but was perfectly warm enough in October and with both windows closed was very quiet. I'm picky about mattresses and this one was very comfortable. All in all, a great place to be based for a few days exploring the beautiful walled city of Dubrovnik". TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"The MirÓ apartments are high quality and are in a excellent location. You are literally on top of the sea as you go round the corner of the place onto a little cove with a restaurant where you can get breakfast in the sunshine. The apartments are well designed with everything you would need if you didn't want to eat out. Really good value for money" TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"A great apartment in a fantastic location, just next to Pile Gate but away from the crowds and overlooking a very picturesque harbour. These apartments are compact but with everything you could need and spotlessly clean. Viktor & Isabelle are incredibly helpful, always on hand with helpful tips and advice on the local area and Dubrovnik is AMAZING!!! I would recommend the MirÓ apartments in an instant and will definitely be making a return visit." TripAdvisor review, October 2009 "MirÓ was an excellent apartment situated just outside the city walls, within easy reach from which to explore. The apartment was of moderate size but was modern and clean and suited our needs perfectly. Would certainly go there again and the staff provided really good advice and suggestions during our stay". TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"The MirÓ apartments are of a very high standard. Everything was spotlessly clean and looked pretty new. Everything was there to help you enjoy your stay- fridge, cooker, cable TV, DVD player, free internet access, quiet air con. The location is stunning - moments from a quiet little harbour area with a cracking restaurant. You really feel like you are away from it all, yet you are minutes from the madding crowds of the old town. The best of both worlds. The managers of the apartments, Butterfly Services, are a top quality operation. We booked directly with them and received an email regarding availability within hours. Isabelle then phoned the following day to take the deposit details - it took her 5 times to get me, but she didn't give up! She also arranged a car to meet us at the airport. When we arrived near the apartment, the ever-smiling Viktor was there to walk us to the office and give us maps and tips. Fantastic. Waiting in the apartment fridge were wine, beer, juice and water - a really nice touch. This is a perfect spot to have a quiet, relaxing break but also be near to the action of the old town. Viktor's valuable local knowledge and friendly chats ensured that we got the most out of our break. He's a star." TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"We were really enjoyed our time in Dubrovnik and will definitely return! We thought that the location of the accommodation Divine was excellent. The property was clean and comfortable. I am aware that different guests have different needs but we felt that the washing machine was not necessary and that its position in a small bathroom took up too much space and restricted access to the shower. The information we received, booking etc were very efficient and we were very satisfied with the whole process". Claire, October 2009

"The MirÓ apartments studio were great, the location was perfect, just outside the Pile gate. They were very clean and well maintained, with excellent facilities; we even got a small bottle of wine, juice and water in the fridge for free. The owners are very friendly and keen to make sure you have an enjoyable time in Dubrovnik. Excellent, would highly recommend". TripAdvisor review, October 2009

"We spent a great time in Dubrovnik. Thank you for your exclusive service and your hospitality. Everything was very well organised from your part. The apartments Divine III , Divine studio were just perfect. The Location was excellent, the apartment is very nice with all essential comfort and it was clean. I think for the next time we will again book this apartment. Also the studio was nice but of course the apartment is more convenient. We hope to see you the next time again in Dubrovnik. Thank you for everything". Caroline & Markus, September 2009

"Both Jill & I thought the Secret I apartment was ideal. It was very clean comfortable, quiet & in a great location. You are an excellent tour guide & host. The information you gave us was very helpful ... I think we visited all of your recommended spots. The booking process was easy & the slight misunderstanding about arrival time didn't cause us any inconvenience. We will recommend Butterfly services without hesitation to all family & friends travelling to Dubrovnik. Thank you for a very enjoyable stay in Dubrovnik". Jill & John September 2009

"The Hortensia : excellent location, very clean and tidy, perfect for a holidaying couple. It was exactly as shown and described on the website so what you saw is what you got. We were very happy with your services. Once again, thank you for recommending Hortensia apartments. We had a great time and will definitely contact you again when we are next in Dubrovnik." Anita, September 2009

"I would like to thank you for everything. My cousin and I had a fabulous time in your city and at the Hortensia . Thanking you once again." Gerry, September 2009

"Thanks for everything! One of best experiences of my life! The apt Aramis , was perfect. I didn't want to leave. I miss it so much!!!! Hopefully we'll be back sometime soon!!!" Emily, Septembre 2009

"We just wanted to send a thank you note for all the help you gave us during our stay in Croatia - the Secret I & III were great, the restaurant recommendations were excellent and the excursion recommendations were perfect. Thank you so much for making our trip so wonderful and memorable". Nicole & Brad, September 2009

"The accommodation Divine III is of the highest standard, the location is perfect and the cleanliness and size exceptional and comfortable. The headroom in the bedroom area is limited but this is to be expected in the loft area! I found the information we received to be excellent and personal, the website information was good and the response to queries and payment from yourselves was very good. It was a great help for you to organise the taxis and then meet us at the Pile Gate to escort us to the apartment and again on our departure. The tourist information Viktor gave us on arrival was excellent and he was very friendly and got our stay off to a fabulous start. I would also like to thank him for his swift response when I encountered a problem with the front door key and getting into my suitcase! As you may gather we were delighted with your services and communication and will certainly be in touch should we return to Dubrovnik, which is a beautiful place. I can assure you that we have recommended the city and your apartment to our friends and relatives! Thanks again for your hospitality!" Chris & Kate, September 2009

"We enjoyed ourselves very much in Dubrovnik. It is a truly beautiful place, and the MirÓ apartment was lovely. Thank you" Jenny, September 2009

"We had a great time whilst staying in your apartment Divine I in Dubrovnik. Very nice, convenient apartment, To find extra clean towels was very good. Viktor's advice on what to do and where to go was very valuable Is it possible to describe the approach to Divine Apartments in a different way? We didn't realize that the narrow alleyways were the streets you were referring to in your directions so walked past several times. Thank you again and we hope to see you again in the future". Mike & Kath, September 2009

"We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik. The accommodation Divine III was a very good location. Central but also very quiet. It was modern and clean. The bedroom was a bit uncomfortable due to the low sloping ceiling. The communications from you both have been very good (we sent requests to a few companies but it was the warm welcoming email from yourselves that led us to booking with you). Our arrival and departure were very easy thanks to the help you gave us. When we booked I should have asked what other accommodation you had available and checked we had the most suitable for us. Maybe you could have suggested any alternatives you had available. Many thanks, we had a great week." Tim & Denise, September 2009

"MirÓ apartment is very well appointed; light, modern and attractive. The location (just outside the old city walls) is perfect and the staff is genuinely friendly and helpful. Its great value and we would certainly recommend it". TripAdvisor review, September 2009

"MirÓ Nice apartment, excellent location, very helpful property manager - told us all the hot spots in and around Dubrovnik. Just make sure your room is on the top floor b/c the view is brilliant!" TripAdvisor review, September 2009

"The owner was friendly but not pushy and was keen to tell us the highlights of Dubrovnik. Two bottles of wine waited in our fridge in a compact but ideal apartment complete with all mod cons. The location couldn't have been better, away from the chaotic Pile Gate entrance to Dubrovnik next to a hidden cove yet a mere 5 minute walk from the sights. Bakery, restaurant and supermarket nearby. It was a great 2 day stay after 9 wonderful days on Kolocep. MirÓ apartment is an ideal base for exploring Dubrovnik and the islands" TripAdvisor review, September 2009

"We had a very pleasant stay at the Citrus Bay apartment . The location was perfect, the views were outstanding and it was very central for us to get around, at first we were concerned about the steps down to Lapad but they were fine. The apartment was very comfortable with great facilities, we could not have asked for more. It was spotlessly clean and it was great that the cleaner came in after our first week to change the beds and towels – we did not expect that and were very grateful. The information on the website was excellent, very good description and pictures of the property, we were not misled at all, it was excellent. The booking procedure was nice and simple and your prompt responses to information and requests was excellent. We were grateful to you for arranging the transfers to and from the airport and also grateful for the welcome pack at the apartment, that was very much appreciated. Your service in general was perfect, we would certainly book with you again and recommend the Citrus Bay to our friends and families We had a wonderful time and would like to thank you both for making it possible". Sandra, September 2009

"If you want to be close to all the action in Dubrovnik, without the crowds of tourists going past your door, then MirÓ apartment is the perfect place to stay. Just outside the old city, you are less than 30 seconds from the action without the noise (and inflated prices) that come with being inside the city walls. The rooms are tastefully decorated and very comfortable. I stayed in what was apparently the smallest room, but for one or two people would be perfect. It was significantly larger than a lot of European hotel rooms. The lounge can be separated from the sleeping area to create defined spaces or opened up to make the room feel larger. The little kitchenette is perfect if you want to eat in one night or even whip up a snack to take down to the nearby water's edge. The hosts go out of their way to tell you all the good places to eat, secret places to enjoy a drink with a view and generally how to make the most of your time in this beautiful city." TripAdvisor review, September 2009

"We were delighted with the MirÓ studio . The location was great, just 2 mins from Hilton Hotel and Pile Gate but in a quiet street. The studio was modern and clean and had everything we needed - the juice and wine were a welcome treat after a long journey. I would return here again and we found the owner Viktor to be very pleasant and helpful. Dubrovnik is amazing and it's always great to have nice accommodation to return to after a day in the sun!" TripAdvisor review, September 2009

"We loved our visit to Dubrovnik and Croatia. Bougainvilliers is a lovely home away from home. We enjoyed meeting you. You were very helpful in many areas. Thank you for everything". Karen, August 2009

"We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik, its a beautiful City and we didn't want to leave! The apartment Divine I was beautiful, no complaints! I will defiantly be suggesting friends and family come to stay! Thank you very much for your help whilst we were there. Many thanks". Leah, August 2009

"Thank you for all your help, attention and caring while we were in Dubrovnik. We had a wonderful time and would not hesitate to contact you again for a return trip to the area". Craig, August 2009

"The Citrus bay : very clean; spacious; great balcony. Storage in bedroom 2 was limited. Overall the apartment was faultless. Information was very good - the 130 steps (no problem for us) may be useful for others to know. Butterfly service was very good and informative. Advice on local buses would help - avoid Saturday night to Dubrovnik! We had a great holiday - although we lost all our photos through a damaged memory card - we'll have to come back!" Stuart, August 2009

"We enjoyed our stay very much in Dubrovnik. The Divine III apartment was perfect, just what we were looking for. Extremely clean and everything was everything in order. Viktor was extremely helpful and it was perfect meeting him at the corner of za rokom. Thank you for everything" Leonie & Karl, August 2009

"We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and we really liked Croatia. The Citrus bay apartment was very nice, very light and comfortable, in a great location and was very clean. The kitchen is very well equipped and easy to cook in. The only problem we found was that there was nowhere to put clothes in the smaller bedroom; it needs a wardrobe to put clothes in. The balcony was great to relax and eat in. The information we received and read on the website was correct and informative. The service from everybody was great and Viktor was very helpful with information about Dubrovnik and the surrounding area. We had a great holiday and would recommend you to anybody who was visiting Dubrovnik and needed an apartment... "Annette & Ray, August 2009

"Thank you for a good stay in Dubrovnik. The Secret I apartment was very convenient in the Old City and elegantly furnished and chttp://www.butterflyservices.hr/manager/index.php?mod=page&action=edit&ID=62omfortable. We took advantage of the taxi service to and from the airport which was most efficient. The advice we received on arrival was accurate and proved invaluable, making our stay all the more enjoyable. Many thanks again for your help". Christina, August 2009

"MirÓ Studio Fantastic newly rebuilt flat in a traditional house with views out over the Pile Gate and the adjoining Fortress. 20 meters walk to the little harbor and pier where the Kayaks are hired from. Absolutely delightful flat and location. Only 1 minute walk into the walled city via Pile Gate yet off the main drag and very quiet. Viktor and Isabelle provide an excellent unobtrusive service for visitors". Gary, August 2009

"Thank you so much for your help in Dubrovnik, all Viktor's recommendations proved to be spot on! As for the apartment Divine III , we absolutely loved being there, the only things that we missed were a few kitchen utensils: corkscrew, sharp knife and a board to cut bread etc. We will definitely recommend your services to our friends". Ewa, August 2009

"We stayed in your Bougainvilliers apartment from the 19-26th August. The apartment was beautiful, very clean and had everything we needed. Viktor gave us a very warm welcome and the information he gave us when we arrived was fantastic. The location was perfect. We had a brilliant stay thank you". Jennifer, August 2009

"MirÓ est très bien situe et gérant très agréable (et parlant Français). Bien qu'il soit peut être possible de trouver un hôtel moins chers dans la région je recommande celui ci qui permettra aux couples sans enfants de profiter pleinement de la ville tout en étant au calme et en face d'un petit port magnifique".TripAdvisor review, August 2009 "We had a marvellous time at the Aramis . Luksha took good care of us. The apartment was wonderful. Perfect location, comfortable and clean. The transport you set up was great, the information you sent was very helpful and it was very good that there was a book on Dubrovnik in the room. We will definitely recommend you to our friends and family. Thank you!" Samantha, August 2009

"We had an excellent time in Dubrovnik and are extremely sad to be home in cold, wet Belfast!! I We would certainly recommend the Bougainvilliers to anyone visiting Dubrovnik. Firstly, Viktor was extremely helpful throughout the booking process and in the months thereafter (I sent him many many emails!). The website pictures did not do the apartment justice and were very pleasantly surprised when we saw it. The location was ideal for us, although bringing our cases up the 96 steps was not ideal! However, this was a minor inconvenience and certainly did not overshadow the beauty of the place. The accommodation was clean and comfortable, the only minor complaint was that the shower in the smaller ensuite was very poor and some of girls complained that it sprayed everywhere! Having a pool was definitely one of the highlights of the apartment – especially on the very hot days. The information pack left in the apartment was very useful, especially when choosing where to eat. My husband and I had a meal in Gils, which although very expensive was definitely a worthwhile experience. All in all we had an excellent experience using Butterfly services and Viktor was extremely helpful throughout. I would not hesitate to return to the Bougainvilliers and very much look forward to visiting again in the future". Emma, August 2009

"Thank you for arranging the Porthos apartment for me. Everything was great. The apartment is in an excellent location, it is nicely decorated and it was very clean and well maintained etc. Your services were also great and I appreciate your help in trying to find me other accommodations. I would definitely recommend your services and Porthos to family and friends". Brett, August 2009

"We had a fantastic week and the Bougainvilliers apartment was lovely, very clean and comfortable. Your booklet of info was really useful and the ease of taxis back and forth and Viktor being there on arrival and departure made everything very easy and of course, very friendly & welcoming. Everything was described as per the website so there were no surprises apart from it being so much prettier than it looked in the photos! I think your website photos don't show how lovely the terrace and pool are – I don't remember there being pot plants etc in the pictures, they don't do it justice, you should take some more photos! I will definitely recommend you to friends and family. Thanks for a lovely stay". Vanessa, July 2009

"Picasso is a nice place for holidays, taxis were also ok. Information about Dubrovnik enough. One of the most unproblematic sort stays. Thank you and I am sure we will choose your services again". Micha, July 2009

"We were really impressed with the accommodation Bougainvilliers (it actually looked better in real life than on the web!) The rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen was well stocked for home cooking. The location was also ideal. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone who was too unfit or old, but for me it was great. Viktor was amazing!! We did pretty much everything he suggested and it was really nice to get a local point of view. It was also good to hear how to get around without paying for expensive cruises etc. You were also great at replying to my emails when I had queries so I really couldn't fault your communications. Everything was great. I have already recommended you to colleagues!" Amy, July 2009

"The Thalassa II apartment was nice (especially the view) and the lady that greeted us was very kind". Olivier, July 2009

"Me and Katie had a wonderful time in Croatia! Lovely accommodation Divine I , very clean and had enough facilities for what we were looking for. The location was very good which we appreciated a lot! Comfortable accommodation too. -The accommodation was the same as advertised on the website; the booking procedure was ok too! We really appreciated the info that Viktor gave us when he met us (about the sights to see and places to eat and drink, etc) and were very grateful that he could meet us at Pile Gate. We both thought your services were very good - friendly and professional. Appreciated the amount of contact prior to arriving, and the freedom the apartment gave us. We would recommend! Overall, we had a lovely stay and were very happy with the accommodation and the service you provided - thank-you!" James, July 2009

" Secret III apartment : Charming and spacy duplex, looks like the pictures on the website, in excellent location and good condition (right next to Saint Blaise church in the centre of the old town), trendy furniture... and the wine bottle at the arrival shows the attention to details of the service. Viktor warmly welcomed us to show the apartment but also made relevant suggestions on the "wassup & watson" in Dubrovnik" Marie, July 2009 "We greatly enjoyed our time at the Bougainvilliers apartment and found all the facilities very good. We enjoyed ourselves and would definitely come back again". Many Thanks Richard, July 2009

"Thank you so much for your help to make our stay in Dubrovnik so easy and enjoyable; Divine I Accommodation –location, comfort, cleanliness were all of an excellent standard. Furniture was new and/or well presented. The kitchen was extremely well equipped. Information you received -description on website, booking procedure, arrival information, tourist information was very helpful. Being able to text Isabelle and Viktor made arrival easy. Viktor was very accommodating of our arrival and departure times. Booking was easy and efficient. Both Isabelle and Viktor were polite and welcoming at all times. Nick and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Dubrovnik. We have recommended it to our friends and have been more than happy to recommend booking accommodation through Butterfly Services. Many thanks" Katie, July 2009

"We were very happy with the Bougainvilliers apartment in Dubrovnik. The apartment was lovely and had everything that we needed. It was great to have taxi's arranged for arrival and departure. We found you very helpful. Finally, Dubrovnik is a gorgeous city and we had a lovely holiday. Thank you". Jeanne, July 2009

"We were very pleased with our stay. It was quite easy to access, to make payments, and response via e-mail was immediate, which is really important. The apartments Secret were just as we were expecting, and I would like to say that we were treated very nicely by the Viktor, whom we met while with our luggage. Thank you for everything". Daniel, July 2009

"Myself and Alan had a very enjoyable stay in Dubrovnik. We found the apartment Divine I to be perfect, there were no changes to be made, perhaps maybe having two sets of keys, however maybe this was available and we just didn't ask. The location was perfect and all the information about restaurants, trips, beaches etc was very helpful. We will definitely recommend the apartment to our friends and family. Thank you again". Orla & Alan, July 2009

"We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik and are more than a little sad to be back in New York and at work. Your assistance certainly made our stay in Dubrovnik a success! We generally were very happy with the apartment Divine studio , and in particular, with your services. The website description, information about how to meet you, and directions were all very helpful to an out-of-town visitor. We particularly appreciated how helpful and accommodating you were when we wanted to add nights to our stay. It was wonderful that you were available at the times that we needed to arrive and depart. The apartment itself was in a wonderful location. We couldn't have been happier in that regard! My only complaint about the space was the studio's bathroom. We felt that the apartment was very clean and appropriate for our needs. We would definitely recommend your services. Thank you so much again!" Meg, July 2009

"We had an amazing time, the MirÓ apartment was perfect! Thank you for being so lovely and helpful, you guys really made our holiday extra special! Thanks again". Jmex, July 2009

"We had a wonderful stay in the Divine I apartment - it was very well located and easy to find, and exceptionally clean and comfortable, with the added bonus of the courtyard - everything was just perfect. It was lovely being in the heart of the old city - so near to everything, as well as being able to hop on a boat and visit the beautiful surrounding islands. The service we received was smooth and efficient, from booking through to the arrangements to arrive at the apahttp://www.butterflyservices.hr/manager/index.php?mod=page&action=edit&ID=62rtment, with emails and a telephone call from Victor and Isabelle providing a thorough and personal service. Victor showed us round the apartment and then took the time to advise on places to eat, drink and visit - it was really helpful and gave us a great starting point. Similarly, the folder in the apartment provided lots of useful further information on what to see and do. All in all, the service was first class. Our friends had recommended this to us, and we would definitely recommend to others. Many thanks again for providing an excellent holiday - we certainly plan to come back to Dubrovnik and will be in touch to stay in your lovely apartment again". Sue & David, July 2009

"Both mine and Tony's experience of our stay at the Divine studio was great and I have gone on to recommend the studio to friends and relatives. The booking procedure was strait forward and information accurate. The location of the studio was perfect and close to all of the local amenities. The general state of the studio was also very clean and tidy and I would not hesitate to stay there or to use your friendly and efficient service again". Jon, July 2009

"We had a wonderful time, but a long journey home. We thought that the apartment Citrus bay was excellent, well located, and clean and well equipped. It was just as advertised on the website. The information was very good. The advice on places to visit and restaurants was very good. Dubrovnik is beautiful and we also particularly like our trip out to Ston and Korcula; the landscape was stunning. I have never been to Croatia before and I think that it is a wonderful place with very friendly and helpful people. Your service was excellent, from the first e-mails through to the goodbye at Citrus Bay . Thank you for organizing the car hire, which was much better value that renting from England. I would certainly recommend Butterfly Services to friends". Tim. July 2009

"Thanks for your kind wishes about our wedding, we are missing Dubrovnik! The MirÓ apartments are beautiful and we are all so glad we chose to stay in them; the extra touches of wine in the fridge and tea in the cupboard were wonderful to find! The location is just ideal, so close to Pile gate and we loved hanging out on the jetty too! The nearest beaches round the corner were also great and Viktor was so helpful in directing us to them. He gave us great help and advice all week and was so friendly. We would certainly recommend your accommodation to anyone and hope to visit you again one day! Thanks". Hannah & Andrew, July 2009

"We are finally at home. I am very grateful to you for our wonderful days in Dubrovnik. Thank you for your hospitality. We had good days on Plitvicke lakes & in Zagreb, but the best was our holiday in Dubrovnik in MirÓ Studio thanks to you. We are missing you". Nodira & Benazir, July 2009

"Thank you, everything was perfect with the MirÓ apartment . And the sun was shining the whole weekend, so we had a brilliant and most romantic wedding we could dream of! We will definitely come back to Dubrovnik, so we will contact you then! Thanks once again" Julia & Arnd, July 2009

"MirÓ: Paar minuten zu fuß in die altstadt, bushaltestelle um die ecke (zum strand), veranstalter von kanuausflügen um die nächste ecke, romatischer aussichtpunkt, restaurants und und und... alles wunderbar" TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"We stayed in MirÓ for three nights and enjoyed every minute. The owner, Viktor, was very helpful with his suggestions how to make our stay great. The room was big and comfortable and clean, it even has a modern kitchenette. We didn't need it, though, but had we stayed longer we probably would have. Best of all is the location, of course. 2 minutes from old town where all the action and sights are. But very quiet at night and off the main bustle. Definitely a great pick! " TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"MirÓ studio is right next to Pile entrance to old town and close to the sea, best to take top floors for the view, cool furniture, excellent bathroom, super well thought of to save space. Butterfly may not be the cheapest but definitely worth the quality on the top end of accomodation offers in Dubrovnik. We recommend indeed!!!!" TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"A friend and I stayed in MirÓ 7 and my other two friends in 4. The rooms were comfortable, stylish, clean, open and air-conditioned. High speed internet access was available. We had lovely views of the Pile port from our room and were within very short walking distance from The Old Town of Dubrovnik, which was perfect for us. The main beach we went to was Bane beach club which was only a ten minute pleasant walk through the town. The staff were helpful and incredibly nice. Inside the room were free guides to the best restaurants and places to see and go. Local supermarkets are again only a few steps from the door and there is a handful or really nice restaurants equally close catering to all tastes. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay here". TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"We recently had a four night stay at the MirÓ Studio Apartment in Dubrovnik. I highly recommend it if you are looking for apartment-style accommodation with the ability to self-cater. The location is excellent; just outside the city walls (less than 5 minutes walk to get inside the old city). MirÓ is located just around the corner from two picturesque coves either side of Fort Lovrjenac; one of which has a great little restaurant (Orhan) and the other has a nice rocky beach from which to go for a swim. The apartment (#4) was comfortable, clean and decorated in a modern style. The bed could fold up into the wall for extra space, but I didn't find this to make the bed any less comfortable. The only criticism I have is that the stairwell acted as bit of an echo chamber, maybe some soft furnishings in the stairwell might counteract this. Viktor was an excellent host, meeting our car that brought us from DBV airport to the bus area . I would recommend getting in touch with him before you arrive, as I am not sure I would have initially found the place. His recommendations about where to eat and visit whilst you are in town are worth paying attention to. If you are looking for this style of accommodation you should definitely consider the MirO apartments for your stay". TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"My husband and I recently stayed at the MirÓ and loved it. The apartments are locked right near the Pile Gate, just down the steps in fact, in this lovely little bay that enjoys views of the ocean, the City's walls and defensive tower. The apartments occupy a wonderful old building, but all apartments are new. Our apartment was a perfect size for us with good bathroom facilities and a great little kitchenette. Furnishings were modern and it was great to come 'home' each day after the heat of summer. Viktor and Isabelle, and their team, were fantastic. Couldn't do enough to ensure we enjoyed our stay. Viktor recommended a private day tour for us which was brilliant and our guide, Peter, was incredibly well informed and great company for the day! As for Dubrovnik....well, who could visit that city without falling in love. We will be back!! And we will city seek out the MirÓ Apartments for a return trip.....You can not go wrong with this little gem". TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"We spent 4 days in Studio MirÓ 6 in July. We can only say, this was our best pick we can do. We were just couple of meters (maybe 30) from Pile gate, the main entrance to Old Town, but in absolutely quite street in little port, 1é metres from see, with beautiful view from the window - The old fortress on the right side, and old ruins on the left side. Studio is modern furnished, nice, absolutely enough. If you want enjoy sea view, ask for number 6 or 4. But number 6 is better. The Dubrovnik itself is like from fairytale. But prepare your money, is also expensive. If you need information, ask Viktor in reception, very nice guy, very helpful. Well, must say, this was very nice trip, thanks of very nice and best situated accommodation, and of course the unforgettable city of Dubrovnik". TripAdvisor review, July 2009

"The service and hospitality we received was brilliant. They arranged a transfer from the airport (too and from) and greeted us in Dubrovnik. It was more than we could of wished for. The location of the MirÓ apartment , a minutes walk from the Pile Gate, was ideal and in beautiful surroundings. A lovely view of the sea and city walls is within a few meters. What made our holiday more special was the apartment. Coming back to a clean, modern, yet comfy place was a bonus. (And cool due to the air con! great for the heat of the summer months) I couldn't be happier with the apartment and wouldn't change anything! We didn't want a lazy beach holiday we wanted a mix of that with good weather and culture. Dubrovnik is perfect for this. There's so much to do. We went on boat trips to islands, swam in the clear sea, sunbathed, ate great food (Nishta - a vegetarian we went to 4 times of 7 nights was amazing!), we walked the walls and shopped on the market. I absolutely loved it. I've already recommended the apartment to a friend too!" TripAdvisor review, June 2009

"The MirÓ Studio Apartment couldn't be more conveniently located next to the Pile Gate. It is a clean, sleek, modern space, with great features - such as sliding doors and under floor heating in the bathroom, as well as a fantastic sea view from the window. You descend some stairs next to the modern war memorial to find a peaceful, seclude harbour which is a welcome relief from the busy entrance to the old town, the apartment is situated a few yards up your right hand side. The people who run the apartments are friendly and extremely helpful. You can usually find them in the office next door, so don't hesitate to ask them for advice on where to go, or what to do. They know the best beaches, islands and restaurants, which saved us a lot of time and effort. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at the MirO Studio Apartment and would recommend it to anyone!" TripAdvisor review, June 2009

"Entièrement rénové, la décoration des appartements est de bon goût, le lit excellent et la situation idéale. L'accueil de Butterfly services irréprochable, professionnel et très sympathique ...Un séjour magique dans cette ville historique. Les murs ont su garder leur histoire mais la vie, la vraie, la branchée, la dynamique continue. Faites les remparts après 5h00 quand tous les touristes de la journée sont partis et que la lumière est belle. Pour l'apéro, petite bière locale, deux bars le long des murs, surplombants la mer, la musique est bonne et on peut même s'y baigner, (n'oubliez pas de passer à la boucherie pour acheter un peu de jambon et fromage à grignoter...). Passez au minimum 4 nuits, voire plus, si vous établissez Dubrovnik comme point de départ, beaucoup d'îles sont à proximité...." TripAdvisor review, June 2009

"The Divine I was simply a home away from home. It had everything we required. It was very clean and well maintained. The location was ideal, very central. We can make no suggestions on how to improve the offering; it was more than adequate for our requirements. The booking process was made very simple, the information we received about the apartment and Dubrovnik was very accurate and extremely helpful. Upon arrival Viktor made us feel welcome – like we had just come home. He informed us of all the necessary information, recommendation on where to eat and go and gave us helpful hints. We felt that we could call at any time of day if we needed to. Our experience was very positive and we will have no hesitation in recommending the apartment to anyone of our friends and family travelling to Dubrovnik. Most of all we hope to return there one day very soon!" Johnny & Jo, June 2009

"We had an amazing time in Dubrovnik. The apartment Divine I and service was fantastic. Great location, nice decor, cleans and your friendly and helpful service was second to none. Thank you very much and we look forward to seeing you for our next visit to Dubrovnik which hopefully will be in the near future! "Jane, June 2009

"We are all back home safe and sound, had a great time in Croatia especially Dubrovnik, the apartment Citrus bay was great!! Thank you so much for everything!!" Jennifer, Kathryn, Janet and Andy, June 2009

"Simon and I had a lovely holiday in Dubrovnik! We felt that the location of the apartment Divine Studio was excellent and very comfortable. The information we initially received was excellent; directions to the apartment from the airport was great as was arranging the transfer to the airport on our return to the UK. You provided a flexible and very helpful service thorough providing excellent 'local' information and greatly assisted us. This assisted us in navigating around the area and also to Mostar. You provide a top class service which was excellent value for money! We would recommend your apartment, and Dubrovnik as a wonderful place to go on a holiday. Thanks for everything you did". Emma May 2009 "I am missing being in your part of our wonderful world!!!! We had a wonderful time in Dubrovnik. We loved the apartments Divine I and Divine studio …the location was great. Especially with our boys…The apartments were clean….comfortable and overall it was very very good!!! Guess I never realized there would be a washing machine in there…That would be nice to mention on the site. AS you know we OVERPACKED and that plagued us the whole trip!!!! I am just very happy with the whole time we were there. Thanks so much for getting our transfer set up back to the airport. That was very nice. I'll recommend you to anyone that is going your way. Thanks so much for all you did for us". Coreen, May 2009

"We really enjoyed our stay in the Picasso apartment and Dubrovnik is a beautiful city. We were very pleased about how well-equipped and clean the apartment was. And of course the location is great. We were welcomed nicely and were able to have a late checkout: so flexible! Great service/follow-up...Thanks!! "Ama & Ricardo, May 2009

"Ein modernes Appartment im gehobenen IKEA-Stil, direkt neben der Altstadt in einer kleinen Gasse am PILE-Gate gelegen. MirÓ Unbedingt empfehlenswert!" TripAdvisor review, May 2009

"MirÓ apartment is perfectly situated, just outside the old town (so away from the tourists)in a tranquil little street near a beautiful port. The accommodation itself is of high quality -comfortable, clean, modern and fully-equipped. A home from home. We were very pleased with our stay here". TripAdvisor review, May 2009

"We had an amazing time! Thank you for you kind hospitality. We were so sad to leave". Katie, May 2009

"MirÓ apartments were the perfect studio apartments for our stay in Dubrovnik. Not only was it very affordable, it was chic, clean, new and convenient. Its location was ideal for being amongst the old city but not amongst the business or noise that Dubrovnik can produce. Viktor was extremely hospitable and very helpful in giving us the best places to visit, pamper and eat at. As a very experienced traveler, I highly recommend MirÓ apartments. Thanks again". Stella, May 2009

"We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik, despite the weather. The MirÓ apartment was wonderfully comfortable and the setting perfect. David took hundreds of photos, so we would be glad to send you some. Hope to see you next time". Laüra, April 2009

"We had a lovely time in Dubrovnik, and appreciated Viktor's help in suggesting places to walk. I think we could have had a much longer walk, but the short ones were fine really. We had thought before we came that we would do 15-20 Km down the coast somewhere. The MirÓ apartment was in a beautiful situation, so handy for everything and with that wonderful view down into the little rocky cove. I sat for hours at the window just watching the sea, and enjoying the floodlights at night! The apartment was indeed beautifully designed and equipped, though perhaps a little too "High Tech" for us! We did not use the cooking facilities at all, because, although it all looked good and as if it was out of a magazine about luxury homes, it was not terribly practical, with no work surface, for example, to prepare any food. The bed was very comfortable and we slept very well. It was peaceful and restful, and we could not really believe we were so close to the hustle and bustle of Pile Gate! We felt we were well looked after by Butterfly Services. We have good memories of a happy few days in your apartment". Maggie, April 2009

"We would like to thank you for your hospitality and flexibility of our arrival and departure time. It was very nice that you follow after our needs. I have to say we fall in love in Dubrovnik and Croatia! Really...Friendly and helpful people, clean city, amazing views and lovely architecture! It was the most romantic holidays in our life! We enjoy a quiet and restful stay at the end of year. And New Year dinner...it was very nice :) The view from the window is breathtaking. We like apartment design - very modern, clean and comfortable. Everything was perfect even the weather! For sure MirÓ apartments would be highly recommended by us!" Agnieszka & Lukasz, December 2008

"We very much enjoyed MirÓ. It had everything we could have hoped for: a nice location, comfortable furniture, excellent lighting, a very nice shower and storage space. We enjoyed the town of Dubrovnik very much and would certainly recommend Miro to our friends". Bob, December 2008

"We wanted to thank you again for a delightful stay in Dubrovnik and MirÓ. Also a heartfelt thank you very much for the touching Christmas gift, which we really appreciated. A very nice gesture". Barbara, December 2008

" L'appartement MirÓ est très agréable et idéalement situé, avec une vue adorable, et Marjiana n'a pas manqué de nous demander à chaque fois que nous la croisions si nous avions besoin de quelque chose. Depuis notre retour, je pense que nous n'avons pas cessé de dire à tous nos amis qui ne connaissent pas à quel point nous avons aimé Dubrovnik et notre appartement Miro est en bonne place dans nos récits de vacances. Il est certain que nous ne manquerons pas de recommander votre maison. dans l'attente d'y revenir j'espère…"François, September 2008 "Perfectly positioned for exploring 'Old Town". Can return to apartment during day and night. Quiet, clean and great service from Marijana. MirÓ: A little home away from home. Apt 4 and 6 have views". TripAdvisor review, September 2008

"Votre appartement MirÓ a été fort agréable par sa décoration et par sa situation. Nous avons pu ainsi apprécier cette ville ou le culturel et la gastronomie étaient au rendez vous. Nous ferons une bonne "pub sur vos offres de logement". Claire, August 2008

"We enjoyed Croatia very much. We were very pleased with the accommodation Juliette as it could not have been more to our taste. We had everything we could possibly need at our disposal and the apartment was in a prime location. The owners were very nice people and very helpful to us during our holiday. We would not hesitate to recommend to our family and friends. Thank you!" Angela, August 2008

"I just wanted to write to you to thank you for all of your help in planning our holiday to Dubrovnik at the end of August.

Thank you once again for everything". Charlotte, August 2008
