Panoramic Sea View Villa-Pool & BBQ – Seafront Villa in the Heart of Jelsa, Hvar

10/10 Excellent
"This place is an absolute gem in Jelsa and would highly recommend. From the view to the communication to having everything you need at the house. The town is also perfect for families or just wanting to get out for dinner. We also had a car and went to a few towns around the area as well as took a boat to a local beach. Will absolutely be back!"

Villa Lapis by MyWaycation

8/10 Good
"Wir hatten einen wunderschönen Aufenthalt in der Villa in Zavala. Die Villa ist sehr schön, großzügig geschnitten und bietet auch für acht Personen ausreichend Platz. Besonders toll war der große Pool, den wir sehr genossen haben. Auch die Küche ist wunderschön und sehr gut ausgestattet. Die Zimmer sind ebenfalls sehr schön und die Klimaanlagen haben in allen Räumen einwandfrei funktioniert, sodass jederzeit angenehm gekühlt werden konnte. Ein paar kleinere Mankos gab es: Der Warmwasserboiler musste täglich selbst eingeschaltet werden, damit warmes Wasser verfügbar war. Die Waschmaschine und einige andere Dinge waren etwas versteckt. Außerdem funktionierten manche Lampen bzw. Leuchten nicht. Zavala selbst ist eher ruhig und daher perfekt für einen entspannten Urlaub – für einen klassischen Partyurlaub eher weniger geeignet. Insgesamt eine wirklich wunderschöne Villa, in der wir uns sehr wohlgefühlt und einen tollen Urlaub verbracht haben!"
