I recently had the pleasure of staying at Villa Orabelle, and I must say it was the most peaceful and enjoyable stay I have ever experienced. The hospitality at Villa Orabelle was truly exceptional. As a warm welcome gesture, we were pleasantly surprised to find snacks and a bottle of wine awaiting us in our room. It was a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The receptionist went above and beyond to ensure our comfort and satisfaction during our visit. They not only helped us book an exciting excursion to Bosnia but also secured front seats on the bus, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in the breathtaking landscapes along the way.

It was a thoughtful gesture that set the tone for the rest of our stay. The receptionist went above and bey One of the standout features of Villa Orabelle was its convenient proximity to the old town, just a pleasant 15-minute walk away. This allowed us to explore the rich history and cultural heritage of the area at our leisure, while still being able to retreat to the tranquility of the villa whenever we desired. One of the highlights of our stay was the breakfast experience at Villa Orabelle. Despite the regular breakfast service starting at 7 am, the staff graciously accommodated our early departure by providing us with a delicious breakfast ahead of schedule. The attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile truly made us feel valued as guests. The overall experience at Villa Orabelle was nothing short of exquisite. If you're looking for a serene retreat with easy access to the beach, a charming old town, and a dedicated staff that anticipates and fulfills your every need, then Villa Orabelle is the perfect destination for you.

Beautiful property with a beautiful view! Breakfast was wonderful and the staff were all very friendly and welcoming. The room was very clean and the provided toiletries (body wash/shampoo/conditioner) were actually really nice! Also loved the complimentary bottle of wine and the little treats left on our bed every night. It’s about a 20 minute walk from Old Town or a £5-6 Uber.

The bed was a little firm for my taste, but that was most of the places we stayed in Croatia. It also would’ve been really nice if they had a free shuttle to take guests to/from old town. However the walk wasn’t bad and an Uber was relatively cheap.

Lovely location, great breakfasts.

I arrived at the beginning of the season and had to hunt out the restaurant staff one day when I wanted a drink and something to eat by the pool, on another day a guest had to go and ask for pool towels as there were none out.

Lovely property located in ideal area from Old Town. Staff were so pleasant. Food was great and the views and pool area a welcome retreat from the warmth. Would stay there again definitely!

We had to deal with several bugs and cobwebs in the room

A piece of heaven! So worth it to have a private patio off your room! Everything was PERFECT to celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. Bring your water shoes for the beach that is below!

the standard of service was excellent and akin to a 5 star rating. the facilities where first class, the food of Michelin standard.

everything! it was an excellent example of a boutique hotel.

What a boutique hotel should be like. Great attention to detail, the BEST breakfast and really well trained professional staff who were also amazingly charming and friendly at the same time. Very clean and lovely decor. Comfortable bed and pillows. Literally can't fault the place and we've stayed in many high end hotels all over the world many of which cost A LOT more per night but don't live up to these standards! I wouldn't go with kids as it's definitely more of an adult style hotel and pool etc but that suited us as we left our kids at home as we were celebrating our 20th wedding anniversary.

That I had to leave :)

Stunning small hotel, with extremely friendly courteous staff. Very quiet. Most rooms seem to have views over the sea. Good main pool area with views over the cliffs both sides, with a small pool in addition elsewhere. The food was amazing, an exceptional breakfast and we had dinner one night which was fantastic. Large rooms, lots of little touches like a bottle of local wine, caramelised nuts and biscuits, Rituals products in the room. Lots of steps which may be difficult for people with mobility issues. Not the most design conscious of rooms but perfectly nice, more smart than cool!

Minor point - Had a €5 ‘room service’ charge for some drinks when we were outside our room, even though they bring drinks to the pool for you for no charge, which was very close to the room!

We stayed in room 11 for three nights from 2nd May and it was simply wonderful. We loved the terrace with the huge bed, magnificent view. Infinity pool was wonderful, perfect temperature and we usually had it to ourselves. The service from all staff was on a different level, they are such a credit to the hotel. The breakfast is probably best hotel breakfast I’ve had, three courses which you order, it’s like being at a very nice restaurant for lunch and you really could have whatever you liked. Great location, easy to walk to town, or get the buses which run constantly. I cannot wait to return.

Only booking for three nights and having to leave. Will book a week next time.

Breakfast on the terrace overlooking the sea was fabulous, better than many 5 star hotels. Dinner was also superb - though the menu was limited and a little pricey. Highly recommend to eat here at least one evening if staying at the hotel. The bed was firm and super-comfortable. Great for a refreshing night's sleep. Location was what we wanted. Far enough from the old town to be away from the hustle and bustle, but close enough to be able to walk (15+mins). Lots of buses and taxis if you didn't fancy the after dinner walk back.

Nothing the Villa can do about this but the view to the west was dominated by the huge Rixos hotel right next door. Our room was slightly overlooked by the Rixos terrace.
