9/10 Wonderful! (2 reviews)

Nice apartment, very close to the lovely resort of Vrboska (one of the nicest places we stayed) where there are a number of good restaurants. Lovely hosts, very helpful and kind, will put any washing through the machine. Seperate bedroom, nice balcony, a smallish kitchen area, cupboards are high but there are steps available. Hvar Island is beautiful and well worth a visit. Really enjoyed our stay, but not a Spa Hotel if you want steam rooms etc.
