“Small family run hotel across the road from cove. Room and breakfast was great! Restaurant on site which was reasonable and good. We really enjoyed the staff and loved chatting with them. Lovely they pick you up from ferry and take you when you leave! Nice pool as well but not heated and we were there in October so a bit chilly. Taxi a short 10 minutes from Hvar. Would recommend this hotel for sure.”
“Great choice if you like to watch the sea from your room”
“The best location. Kindness of Staffs.”
“Very nice staff, room is very clean and with a great view. Hotel restaurant food is also very good! It is located in a very quiet area, near Hvar Old Town (5 km, 6 min by car). I recommend renting a car so you can better explore everything the Island has to offer.”
