Reviews of Stella Mare Eco Boutique House 4 stars

The amazing location of this place is impossible to capture in photographs! When relaxing in the infinity pool the sea stretches out in front of you as far as the eye can see. The pool was never too busy. Well priced drinks and snacks at the pool bar. Numerous amazing spots for sea swimming can be found within 10 minutes' walk of the hotel (some of these are not beaches but places where you can climb into the water from the rocks - but we found them safe and easy to navigate). Beautiful, calm, crystal clear water with 360 views. The apartment was spotlessly clean and the bed comfortable. The family and staff make a special effort to welcome you and make sure all your needs are attended to. We felt thoroughly relaxed by the time of leaving and would return!

Not really much. Vegetarians should be aware that they will not find much for dinner in the hotel's own restaurant (breakfast is great with loads of choice!). But I guess that is a reflection of Croatian cuisine. There are other places to eat and drink within walking distance nearby! Be aware it's not really a place you can easily day trip from, at least not by foot/public transport - any excursion requires minimum 20-minute taxi or car ride. But that is what at we were expecting and to be honest the sun, pool and sea were more than enough to keep us happy for our 6-night stay. :)

Beautiful property and perfect facilities 2 mins walk to the beach

Beautiful views and garden. Staff was amazing and very attentive. The area was gorgeous with a few nice beaches at a walkable distance.

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.

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.

REAL 5 minute walk to the beach!!! The swimming pool inside the hotel is fantastic too! The staffs are nice and helpful as well.

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

Everything and particulary the lovely family who manage this place.

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 ♡

We had a fabulous time. Matteo and the whole team deserve credit for exceptional hospitality. Thanks so much.

Leaving

It was the rest and relaxation portion of our trip and was perfect for that. Plus wonderful food, wine and ambiance.

Nothing

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

Everything but especially the warmth of the owners of this family run hotel. The gardens are very fragrant with lavender and roses. The restaurant romantic in the evening with the sunset.

Nothing

Very friendly owner and staff + the upgrade to the very nice apartment. The food was excellent.

Nothing

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.

The property is eco friendly and super clean! The staff was extremely accommodating and breakfast was amazing!

There is nothing that I didn’t like about the property.

The host and staff were extremely helpful with suggestions, and the food was amazing

loved it all

The owners and family were absolutely amazing. Our steak dinner was the best food we have had on our vacation so far! Would recommend to anyone 10/10!

It was tranquil, clean and peaceful. Staff were attentive

Wifi had some dead spots inside the room

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.

Everything! The place is remarkable what really makes it special are the people. We spent 3 nights but wish we could have stayed longer. The food and dinner options are amazing. We will certainly be back.
