"You know, you get what you pay for in life. If you want all mod cons and luxury, there are plenty of places on Korcula that will charge you twice what we paid. We took the risk instead and, although it was a little quirky, we loved out stay. The air con worked (thank goodness, it was 35 degrees), the shower water pressure was good, and it was comfortable enough. And if there were any deficiencies, they were absolutely negated by the incredible views from the balcony. Big enough to sit out, enjoy breakfast and watch the swallows, it really made our stay. A kettle rather than a small saucepan would be a worthy addition, and it was a little odd that the bathroom door was partially obstructed by the shower rail, but these things really didn't detract from our 4 night stay. The mattress was a little soft for me, but I do prefer the firmer variety. As for Vela Luka itself, we were worried that we'd foregone Korcula Old Town for the 'wrong' end of the island. But Vela Luka utterly charmed us with its laid-back feel, it's wonderful restaurants and its largely unspoilt, quieter beauty. By contrast, our visit to Korcula Old Town was slightly disappointing. If you are even considering swimming in the sea, a visit to the small island of Proizd is a must. Only 35 minutes away by water taxi and simply paradise! But the waters around Vela Luka bay are equally as crystal clear and beautiful and we swam many times in many places. Bring beach shoes though, the sea anemones can be prickly!"

"Friendly staff, clean hotel, spacious bathroom. Nice pool although a little cold. Good location with adequate choices for dining. Nice breakfast buffet with more than enough selections and an extra choice off the menu included as well. "

"The owners are very nice and helpful. The room was clean and cute, as it is on the pictures from the booking. Very nice location in Vela Luka, lots of restaurants near by. It has a fridge on the common area that everyone can use, this was very nice touch. There is a parking close by. Side note, better to have a small car, the streets are very narrow."

"I stayed here with my wife and three sons (aged 8. 13, and 15). The Villa was beautiful overlooking the bay and had a lovely infinity pool which the boys would play in every day. It was well equipped and spacious. We were welcomed by the owner and they were kind enough to give us fruit, wine and water to welcome us. I would advise you to ask how the cooker hob works as we spent about an hour trying to work it out but that may have been just us being a bit daft! The best way to get to the centre of Vela Luka is by taxi boat. It is a small village but has all the amenities that you need such as bars, restaurants, small shops, and a pharmacy. There is also a larger supermarket on the outskirts if you need it. I would recommend staying there again and the villa made our first visit to Croatia all the more special!"
