Apartments Villa Sonia & Teo Hvar

Villa Mili

"This guesthouse on the island was excellent. It had free parking, which was very convenient for those driving. There was a supermarket right outside, so you could easily buy groceries for your trip. It was about a 20-minute walk to the tourist center or the beach (the beach we went to was probably the closest one; it involved walking along a rocky mountain path, so try not to wear flip-flops as it was difficult to walk on, but the beach itself was very comfortable and beautiful). It was great! The host was an elderly lady who very kindly greeted us and showed us around the room."

Hotel Sirena Hvar

"This hotel is a MUST in Hvar. I never write reviews but this hotel and the staff were so incredible I had to share. They opened this month and there was not a ton of info or reviews before going but the entire hotel is gorgeous. Everything there is perfectly curated. You feel relaxed just walking in the door. I don’t even know what is better, the staff or the hotel itself. Everyone there was so welcoming and accommodating. They went out of their way to make sure we had what you needed. If I requested anything to the room It was there within moments. Vanja checked us in and there couldn’t have been a better first impression of the hotel. Tea was so sweet and funny. She was our server every day either at breakfast or the pool, and she had memorized our coffee orders and drink orders by the end of the first day. It almost feels wrong to just list them as everyone we encountered was so warm and accommodating. They even arranged multiple boats for us and each experience was incredible and hassle free. This is probably one of, if not, the best hotel I have ever stayed at. And I travel quite often. Stay here. You won’t regret it."

Villa Porta Maestra

"Slightly uphill from port, then a couple flights of stairs at the building to the perfect 1 bedroom vacation apartment, especially for a longer stay. The building appears to be freshly renovated, everything in the apartment is modern and beautiful, with sophisticated understated finishes and high-end fixtures and appliances. The kitchenette features a small half-fridge, a 2 burner induction cooktop and reasonable counter space, but NO oven, dishwasher or washer/dryer. It is stocked with a good array of pots, pans and utensils for making most meals, if cooking on vacation is your thing! There's also a nespresso type coffee maker, electric kettle, toaster and microwave. (A few small missing basics: never found any salt, pepper or sugar.). The sleek bathroom has a large stall shower and towel warmer rack. Lots of storage in both bedroom and bathroom, plus plenty of surface space everywhere to set up your things. There is a tv in both the living room and the bedroom. The living room has a very comfortable leather sofa (sofa bed?), the bedroom has a nice firm platform bed with light switches and a usb port on both sides. A lovely, sunny, high-walled stone terrace is right off the kitchen. 9 foot wood beamed ceilings, exposed stone walls and beautiful lighting (both from the many windows during day, and built in lights in the evening). The building has just 3 units, and the manager Stefani was very sweet and helpful. Really feels like someone designed and furnished the place for their own use, nothing was overlooked! The included breakfast was served at Café Nora, a short walk down the street. It’s a shame they don’t offer to deliver a selection of pastries, cheese, fruit and juice to the door each morning so people can have their breakfast on the terrace. General advice for the historic towns in Croatia: as a very mountainous country, the side streets that are impassable to cars are usually steep stair cases. If you have limited strength or mobility or you’re on a big trip with more than carry-ons, always verify the elevation and how close a taxi can bring you to your accommodation before booking! We saw many older adults (like us) struggling mightily, dragging their luggage up the interminable stair-streets. Plus the very old buildings do not have elevators, so getting to your charming room will entail stairs inside the building as well. Villa Porta Maestra is just about a 5 min walk from the port, a gentle incline, plus we arranged for Stefani to meet us at the port to help. There is a bakery near the end of the port just before you turn onto the plaza -- excellent croissants and other pastries, everything we tried was wonderful! In addition, we found a very convenient drop-off laundry a couple blocks away, near a parking area behind the port, I believe. As an aside: I see this property is classified as a "Hotel", which is clearly an error using any definition of the word. There was no interim maid service, no staff on premises overnight, no p"
