"The house itself was quite nice and certainly clean and neat, however there was no indication that the actual house was over 100m from the parking down a VERY steep hill. Also, the house only had space heaters and it was difficult to get it warm enough. We had hoped to do laundry, but there was no washing machine."

"Staff was wonderful"

"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!"

"The view from the terrace was the best. The apartment is spacious, very close to the beach, and it is equipped with the basic stuff for a comfortable stay. "
