The apartment was spotless and smelled amazing. It looked exactly like the photos. The sheets and bed were super comfortable. The parking lot is nearby (a 6-minute walk). You’ll need to go up a few stairs to the apartment, but the view from the apartment is absolutely worth it. Speaking of the view… WOW! It’s magical just sitting there, enjoying the moment. Even though the apartment is across from a small port, the noise wasn’t an issue at all. The soundproof windows help, especially if you’re a light sleeper like me. In fact, I slept like a rock the entire stay! We truly felt at home. Marija is an incredible host. The check-in, check-out, and parking all went smoothly thanks to her clear instructions and assistance. She’s easy to communicate with, friendly, responsive, helpful, and above all, kind. On our last day, my husband had to go to the ER due to food poisoning. It was a long night, and finding another place to stay for his recovery would’ve been difficult. Even though she had another guest arriving, Marija kindly arranged for us to stay one extra night so he could rest before our long journey home. There are things in life we simply can’t thank enough. Thank you, thank you, thank you, Marija! You and your lovely home will not be forgotten. We’ll definitely miss Jelsa and hope to return soon for another wonderful, relaxing vacation. P.S. Don’t hesitate to purchase the dried lavender and lavender oil available at the apartment. They’re among the best I’ve ever bought. Perfect for a relaxing bath and a beautiful reminder of this magical place.

Town House Rosario

Stari Grad (Near Jelsa)

Set in Stari Grad in the Hvar Island region, with Beach Banj nearby, Town House Rosario features accommodation with access to spa facilities.

The townhouse Rosario is located right next to bus station and very easy to reach. Its constructed well and decorated nicely. Rose was great when she met us when we reached there. If you have accessibility issues pls ensure you message them to check as there is no elevator. The rooms have basic stuff and thats it. The acoustics were not great, if the downstairs room closed their door, flushed we could hear it and that's not great late at night. The ice machine has mould growing. There is a catalogue with lots of recommendations and dos and don'ts but if one messaged them for a question, you'd be told to see the catalogue.... So much for service. Answering the question could've gone a long way in showing courtesy. The area is amazing and safe.

Zavala is a hidden gem in Hvar. We stayed 2 nights in Zavala and 3 in Jelsa, and I regret not booking this property months earlier! Unlike Jelsa, Hvar and Old Town this place is not crowded and there are not many tourists. The host is pleasant, we arrived a lot earlier, at 9 AM and they already cleaned our room so we were able to come in at 9:30! That was awesome because we were very tired from all the driving during the night. The room was huge, and the view from the balcony was worth even more than the value we paid. The place itself is very small, but not crowded, there is a lot of shade just minutes from the accommodation, there is no music, quiet place to relax and spend your vacation. For those seeking to party, this is not a place to visit, but if you are looking for crystal water, peace, and relaxation I recommend it 100%. Also, all of the staff is great, they gave us ice from the restaurant and Vine opener which we did not have. Great service :)

Room is spacious and well equipped, the balcony is perfect through the day, in shade for an enjoyable breakfast, in the sun in the afternoon for sunbathing, and the perfect spot to watch the sunset in the evening. The kitchen has everything you could want and the patio has a beautiful setup to enjoy your food. Gordan and his wife were great hosts and made the stay pleasant.
