This establishment is run by a wonderful family. They go out of their way to make you comfortable and your stay enjoyable. You are welcomed in as part of the family and so well looked after. The food, cooked by Nada, is out of this world. Matteo is always there to make sure everything is perfect, with lots of interesting information and suggestions of things to do and places to go. The location is quiet and beautiful with the unspoilt natural coastline only a few steps away.

I have tried so hard to find what I didn’t like but I cannot find anything. The Wi-Fi is not perfect but this is not their fault and certainly did not spoil our holiday.

Wow! A true escape from the everyday. From the moment we arrived, we felt relaxed. Wonderful, clean and spacious room. With wraparound balcony. Stunning sea view towards Korcula. Matteo and his family who own this hotel, have completely nailed it in terms of hospitality and excellence. This was our absolute favourite hotel and location in our travels down the Dalmatian coast. Hvar as an island feels so good, with a relaxed vibe and we loved the little towns and coves. The pool was stunning, so clean and refreshing overlooking the sea. Great little pool bar served drinks and snacks. We hired a car to get out and explore, but loved Zavala and the short walk to the little beaches so didn’t use the car much! Simple tavernas within walking distance, serving fresh seafood and locally produce. Really what is not to like! If you want to escape the crowds - this really is your place.

Nothing!

We had an amazing time here at Stella Mare! The food was exceptionally good (try their seafood pasta & grilled fish, you wont regret it!), the boutique is beauuuutiful, the staff was very friendly & would go above and beyond to ensure you have a great time. Most importantly the hospitality of Teo, Matteo (& his lovely wife) made our stay so special! You wont find a better host anywhere else. We definitely will be staying here again if we come back to Hvar! Oh and we got a free upgrade to a bigger appartement on the top floor. The seaview from the balcony there is magical! Very appreciated ♡

The swimming pool was super good, we ended up spending most of our time there. The Villa is located in a quite isolated area of the island (c. 40 mins from Hvar), which allows for a relaxing stay. Very close to a few beaches. The restaurant was really good, although there were not many options. The owners were very kind and friendly.

Nothing major. The street to reach the Villa from Stari Grad is not really super easy, but it's worth it.

From the moment we arrived and were greeted by welcoming and friendly hosts to the moment we left everything was just wonderful. The hotel is small enough to feel personal , its calm, stylish and comfortable. Everything was clean and fresh. Our top floor room was delightful, large and roomy with a kitchenette, lounge area and bathroom. The view of the sea and across to the islands from the balcony was just great. The aircon worked well ( as did everything )The beds were comfy. Parking was within the hotel grounds. The infinity pool was dreamy. Such a wonderful place to swim and relax and admire the beautiful terracing of olives and lavender and the sea. Breakfast was fresh and plentiful. A short walk down the path led to the sea with a path along the coast going past several beach bars and restaurants.

Only staying 2 nights.

The property is family owned and they treat all their guests as family. Rooms are spacious and super clean . The location was ideal for me . The beach was just steps from the property. The breakfast was really good. They produce their own olive oil and wine which was impressive. Matteo was so attentive and met all our needs .

Nothing to dislike

A true retreat, this beautiful place is surrounded by olive trees, lavender and lemon trees looking over the most stunning view of the ocean. The food at dinner was absolutely incredible all cooked by the mother - the fresh fish and veggies were divine! The family took such great care of us - we really had the best few days

We stayed here a couple of weeks ago. We moved around Croatia a very beautiful country. Stella Mare was a littler haven of pure relaxation away from the tourist areas with beautiful surroundings and crystal clear sea. A lovely family run place with a family who were so welcoming and attentive. We loved our stay here.

We absolutely loved the location of this property. Their restaurant was also superb, as they cooked homemade meals for breakfast, lunch and dinner. The staff were very friendly and made us feel at home. Close to the beach, and far from the big city for a relaxing vacation.

Absolutely nothing

The pool and view from the pool is absolutely beautiful. The owner is also such a pleasant man who came to speak to us every day. You feel like you are hosted in their home and the food is spectacular.

It’s slightly remote but we loved that about it. Enough bars and food to wander up and down the coast to.
