Dubrovnik has a unique characteristic that dictates all furniture planning: no delivery vans are allowed into the Old Town within the walls. Whatever needs to go in must be carried through a gate and up stairs. This is not a minor detail; it is the first question before every order.
What Two People Can Carry
In practical terms, this means that each piece should be portable by two people through narrow alleys and up steps. A solid stone table in one piece is often out of the question, but a frame with a separate top is not. Modular sofas come in parts; large one-piece sofas are rare. Those living outside the walls, in Ploče or Lapad, do not have this restriction and can plan normally.
Stone, Salt, and Sun
The houses are made of light limestone, as are the floors. This results in cool, bright rooms that lack warm materials. Travertine and brass bring this warmth back without clashing with the surroundings. Rugs are almost mandatory on stone floors; otherwise, every room will echo.
Terrace with a View
Most properties have a terrace, often small and with a view. Here, the individual piece matters more than the quantity: two chairs, a side table, wind protection via planters. Anything lightweight will be blown away by the Bura wind.

Frequently Asked Questions
How is furniture delivered to Dubrovnik's Old Town?
On foot. There is no vehicle access within the walls; everything is carried through the gates and up stairs. Each piece should be portable by two people.
What kind of furniture suits a stone house on the Adriatic?
Warm materials to counterbalance the light limestone, such as travertine and brass, plus rugs to prevent echoing on stone floors.
What should be considered on a terrace during the Bura wind?
Weight. Lightweight furniture and loose decorations cannot withstand the downdraft. Heavy planters also serve as windbreaks.
