Our summer vacation with two families at Stomorska was great. The house provides enough space for 8 people, with individual bathrooms in every bedroom. The quality and design lived up to our expectations: from the terrace you have a beautiful view of Stomorska and the sea, the pool is spacious and the artificial lawn was perfect for soccer and basketball. The well-planned window fronts on both sides allow natural airing, so you rarely have to switch on the AC. To the village it only takes 10 minutes walking, and there‘s a nice choice of restaurants. Many beaches on the island are beautiful but somewhat difficult to get to by car.

it's just the perfect vacation apartment! it is the same as in the photo, there is everything you need for a comfortable stay! there is also a large terrace with a sea view, an umbrella and a table where we had dinner. the beach is only 10 minutes away. there are many beautiful and clean beaches nearby, where there are not many people. separately, I would like to single out the lovely and friendly owners of the apartment: they made our life there very comfortable. if necessary, we were taken to a store where you can buy everything you need. the hosts also treated us to fruit from their garden, and also treated us to a delicious and filling dinner the day before departure! I highly recommend this place! best choice!

Had a fantastic time at Doris’ place. Lovely apartment overlooking the sea with access to the water for swimming. Super terrace to enjoy the long warm evenings. Fantastic hosts who stay upstairs, would definitely book again given ease of access to busy Hvar town and quieter beaches along the coast.

We stayed for 2 weeks in July and had a wonderful stay! The flat is very clean, with a well equipped kitchen. Outside you’ll find a nice and quiet veranda. Perfect for morning coffee. The whole surrounding area is very quiet and comfortable. The bathroom is nice, with a good shower. One of the bedrooms is only suitable for children/ teenager, due to being very small with a narrow bed. We walked downhill to the beaches on 12-15 min. When we went home from the beach, appr 4-5:00 pm, we often took an Uber, which works perfectly and is very efficient in Croatia. In the evening, after a good dinner we often walked home. Katharina is a super host! Always ready to help - You can ask her for any information! When we stayed it was very warm. We are not used to that kind of heat, so we asked if we could get some fans, for use in the bedrooms at nights. Katharina came the same day with 2 brand new fans! That really made us sleep so much better. What a wonderful service from a very nice host🤗

Awesome place! Fresh, nice and clean! A little cold in the pool but if you go at this time of year, you should not count on anything else, perfect to have the hot tub to go to after you cool down! Grgo, who we met the most was very helpful, drove us 2 times to major, which was way beyond expectations! Clear instructions if there was anything else that we needed to know about! Super nice and also a good welcome cake! We will definitely be thinking about coming back!
