Gorana suona il violino

Gorana and her violin.

Your host

Gorana, a musician
from Dubrovnik

Villa LadyM is not run by an agency: it is the home of Gorana, born and raised in Dubrovnik, between the stones of the Old Town and the Adriatic Sea.

The name is a tribute: the M in LadyM is Maja, Gorana's mother. And “Lady” because that is the word that suits her: elegance, style, beauty.

A classically trained musician, she holds degrees in violin and music theory, and also plays the piano. Music is her profession and her way of being in the world — and guests with a good ear will notice.

Guests are welcomed by her family, and the Insider Guide is hers: the addresses, the honest prices and the tricks of someone who has known this city forever — not from a guidebook.

If you write to us, she is the one who replies. Really.

“Music has been my life since I was a little girl: I was lucky enough to have it as my playmate. I love the way Art brings people together and erases the distances between us.”

— Gorana, your host
