    This place is exquisite, a gem. The family who run the villa are so accommodating and friendly. Thank you so much for your wonderful hospitality. Amazing place, a real sense of style and comfort. We are only sorry we did not stay longer. We will be back.

    Everything was perfect! The Stella Mare is essentially a "villa" with few - but well furnished - apartments run by a very lovely family. The owners and the staff make sure you feel like at your own home: for us it worked!!! We spent only 2 days in this amazing and quite place, where we found the right relax for the end of our holidays. The swimming pool and the restaurant are simply amazing and both of them have a "wooooow" view.

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

    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.

    Absolutely nothing, it was just perfect.

    A beatiful villa, run by a lovely and very welcoming family. The place was so well looked after and a very traquil place to relax. It was clean throughout with a lovely pool area which had great views. The food also was great and we would highly recommend to anyone. Its made us want to come back.

    Perfection. From the moment we arrived we knew this would be nothing short of exceptional. food , service, location , accommodation . Faultless in every aspect. Well done to the family and all the staff for providing us with a memorable experience.

    We came to this part of Hvar to enjoy the beautifull Adriatic coast at its best. We stayed at Stella Mare for three days and could not find one single thing that could have been done better next time. You can not receive too much kindness.

    Stella Mare is a family owned appartement and it shows in everything. Excellent facillities (awesome infinity pool), amazing cooking (by the mother of the family) but most of all, a warm and truely kind staff that make your holiday the best you can wish for.

    Only comment is that whilst a kettle is supplied in the room, no tea or coffee is supplied. We had a 1yo with us so were often awake once she awoke at 5.30am before breakfast or room service so as new parents coffee is essential. The staff service is very attentive so if I remembered to ask I am sure they would have brought some. Also, we were there for 5 days and our room wasn't cleaned once, I'm not sure if this is part of the design for 'studio apartments' as they are more self catering, but I was a little surprised that they weren't cleaned at least once in that time, at least to empty bins etc. (Baby nappies in there!) We left the bin bag out the front and it was collected a day or so afterwards. But as we had no spare bin bags we had to use our old shopping bags.

    Absolutely beautiful hotel, staff are exceptional and the pool is amazing, often very quiet or even have it to yourself which is really nice. The beach has so many coves and clear water and is a two minute walk. I liked the remoteness of the area, we hired a car, which I would recommend for the island, and also I would advise booking the car in advance as there seems to be short supply, especially if you need a child car seat as not all car hire places have them. Get a sea view apartment with a balcony facing the sea, the room we got was lower down and had hardly any views. I would stay here again 100% (maybe without a small child so I can enjoy those views in peace and not worry about a toddler) and also I would get a room with a better view.

    Nothing. I loved my stay at Villa Stella Mare. I would not change a thing. Thank you all so much.

    Staying at Villa Stella Mare felt like visiting a good friend's house. The hosts were exceptionally friendly. Every morning the breakfast was delicious. They have a private restaurant with tables reserved only for their guests. They offer fresh seafood from their catch of the day, which was expertly prepared in a wood grill.

    The hosts were so welcoming, went out of their way to help us; you can't get such kind service in big hotels, even in very expensive ones. Enjoyed nice fresh fish at the restaurant. The area was peaceful with beautiful beaches; stayed up one night to see the sun rise and I don't think I ever saw so many stars in one sky. My stay here was my favourite part of my travels this summer - my friend and I agreed we must come back in the future! thank you very much

    The Villa Stella Mare is an absolute hidden gem. We felt as though we were at a private villa. The service was incredible and the entire staff was so friendly and willing to accommodate our requests. The food is fresh and delicious and we were incredibly grateful for their willingness to work with food allergies. We throughly enjoyed relaxing by the sparkling pool.

    Nothing, nothing at all.

    This is such a special place. The resort itself is stylishly done, with a beautiful terrace and stunning pool. The apartments are lovely, simple but really nice. But what makes it outstanding is the welcome; you’re treated like guests of the family, and it was somewhere I didn’t want to leave. The home cooked food was amazing (and so much of it!) and there was lots of advice on places to visit (including Teo organising a wine tasting trip which was a lot of fun). We’ve already told friends they have to visit.
