Wonderful Jugoslavia-style hotel: spacious with gorgeous views, beach and nature surroundings (minutes walk to a lovely Jelsa), loved it! The atmosphere is laid-back, staff friendly and accommodating, you feel free and unconstrained, and facilities are amazing (tennis, bar, swimming pool, promenade), with a special bonus (if you have kids, it's a blast), a mini-club where you can leave you kids 4h over day under the watch of a super nice lady and enjoy your time off:)) As said, this is a vintage Jugoslavija-style hotel, kind of resort you find rarely anywhere on the coast, rooms are very simple but compensated with remarkably generous and well-kept hotel facilities and surroundings. And for the price, it's far more you could ever get in some other very modern but confined space.
Featuring free WiFi throughout the property, Guest House Jelsa offers pet-friendly accommodations in Jelsa, 27 mi from Split. All rooms come with a flat-screen TV.
Located just 1640 feet from Jelsa's city center and 2297 feet from the beach, Apartments Dobrila offers modern and air-conditioned accommodations with a balcony or terrace.

Close to the town, easy parking, can walk to town in 10 min, close by you have 2 main supermarkets, and 3 smaller ones in town, very convenient location.
Host was really nice and friendly. Gave tips to where to go to the beaches.
Room was perfect, clean, spacious with a balcony (no view), but space for 4 people to have lunch or dinner, and rack for towels or clothes. Fridge and kitchenette.
Will certainly come back as the price beats the other locations, clean and close to town.
Located on the Burkovo Hill, Villa Vista offers a good view over Jelsa Bay and the town center. Its air-conditioned apartments have a private balcony with sea view.

Great host, location, and facilities. Excellent stay
Small town, but with plenty of restaurants, and shops.
Small town, but with plenty of restaurants, and shops. Self catering a good option as restaurants are relatively pricey. Friendly and helpful people. Great base for cycling along coast and inland to places like Stari Grad. Great swimming opportunities in many small coves, Phenomenal views. Also has direct access by ferry to Split, but limited public transport.

A very attractive and lively harbour offering a wide range of activities: pebble and sand beaches nearby, restaurants, ice cream parlours, bars, concerts, cloth shops...). The square in the town is particularly attractive and welcoming, and a lovely place to have your first cup of coffee in the morning and buy a croissant from one of the nearby bakeries and look out and see the day start to begin in the early morning coolness.

The local people, you encounter are always give excellent service . I have visited Jelsa a number of times.
Love the outdoor cinema. It was very busy at this time of year.

Beautiful village at the cost, with lot of lovely restaurant and vivid boardwalk near the harbour. Old city is full of narrow, stone streets with lot of nice place to visit. It is not so crowded like Hvar.

It is beautiful to stay the whole year, except July and August, because is so much crowd. I recommend to all my friends to go in June or September. Jelsa have everything you need, and is good starting point to explore the Island of Hvar.

I simply adored quiet mornings there when mostly local people and few tourists are drinking coffee. There's nothing spectacular there but it is great place with just enough restaurants, stores, cafes to have pleasant vacation. I'm impressed with nice park and narrow streets perfect for morning walk.
We loved everything about this place. The family who ran the place was very helpful and friendly and served a delicious breakfast. The room was lovely and beautifully updated. We enjoyed the location with a balcony which gave us a spectacular view of Jelsa and the harbor. We could walk to everything including lovely beaches and restaurants. Jelsa is a more relaxing environment than the town of Hvar and we weee happy to stay away from the crowds. our expectations were exceeded and highly
recommend a stay here.
The apartment is really nice, very close to the Jelsa center (10-15 mins by foot), and by car is only few minutes. It has everything you need, toilet, small kitchen, balcony. Everything was super clean and comfortable. The communication was great, the host was on the site and was really helpful with everything we needed. We stayed only one night but we will for sure come again and stay longer to enjoy Jelsa.
This property was in a calm area, with sea views which was perfect for us, as we’ve traveled with our son. It was close to the Mina beach which has beautiful restaurant, while the centre was about 10-15min slow walk. The hosts were very friendly, helpful and they did their best to comfort us. The room was very well furnished with new appliances. We are definitely coming back! Regards from Mila, Aron & Leon!
Everything. Our host Magda was very friendly, helpful and kind. She went the extra mile to accommodate us, give us recommendations, helped to book our taxi transfer and serve breakfast even very early in the morning. The breakfast was amazing - lots of homemade fresh food. The location is perfect, close to Jelsa centre and yet still close to nature. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you!
We had a great stay at Villa Tota Glamur. The apartment felt like a home away from home with a fully stocked kitchen where we cook, kick back, and go for a swim. The village of Jelsa is peaceful, neat, and quiet, which made our stay very relaxing. Our hosts were also very laid back, and everything was perfectly arranged from picking up the keys to local tips, our experience was very seamless.
This apartment is fab value. It's ideal for a solo traveller. It is small but thoughtful.
It had everything, ironing set, washing machine, even a coffee machine. Bed was comfy and sheets very fresh. Kind, thoughtful and cool people, I'm very grateful thank you.
It is 60 seconds to the centre, and Jelsa is the most beautiful place I stayed in Croatia
It was such a pleasure staying at Gorana's place!
It is a family house with beautiful, perfectly clean apartments, lots of flowers around the place and perfect swimming pool! It looks even better then on photos.
Parking is very convenient, huge supermarket is just a cross the street and the center of beautiful Jelsa 10 minutes walk (with children).
It has a great view over Jelsa and you can get there fast and easy by taking the stairs from the villa.Regarding the service we’ve received at this property we have only one word -Impeccable! It has absolutely everything you need! We recommend this place and if we return to Hvar Island we will definitely stay here again!Thank you Agim!
the view is spectacular. so fun to chill on the balcony and watch boats coming and going to jelsa’s harbor, swimmers, rowers etc. sunset colors are beautiful. the location is really special in that it is totally relaxing and quiet yet minutes walk to town, swimming and beautiful coastal walks. Matko the owner is very kind and helpful.
Even though this traditional Croatian stone house is located on the main sea-side road from Jelsa to Vbroska, it is not noisy and provides perfect place to stay in. The sea is literally in front of your legs. The house is well equipped (kitchen ustensils, SUP, kajak, bycicles) and the hosts are very kind to offer any kind of help.
Amazing view of Jelsa and the sorrounding area, the large balcony is especially great as there is plenty of room to sit. There is good quality of kitchenware and the location is good as the apartament is close to the beach and there is parking nearby. In general a very positive experience.
Great host, great breakfast awesome location. Magda was an awesome host. Her English was good and was able to tell us all about the area. Located a couple minute walk to the marina where there is a beach. Jelsa is a beautiful little spot on Hvar. Highly recommend. Great for families.
An amazing apartment in the great place in Jelsa. Fully equipped with everything you can imagine, very clean and spacious. @Anita, thank you for your hospitality and making our vacation memorable (Anita is the host :)).
Host was lovely. Property was great value for money. View is beautiful but try and book sea view apartments. Cannot speak highly enough how beautiful Jelsa is. Lively at night but relaxed at same time.
- Great location, between Jelsa and Vrboska, with good accessibility to beaches
- Awesome big balcony
- Good quality appliances (e.g., quiet Air Conditioner)
- Good price
- Quiet area
The property was walking distance to Jelsa town. The hosts were incredibly friendly and welcoming. They provided helpful advice on the area beaches that would best fit our needs.
fabulous location with stunning views over Jelsa, ocean and mountains. Lovely host who made us feel very welcome, the apartment is well equipped and has everything you need.
Very polite and pleasant staff. All inclusive option had varied food and drinks selection. Visited during a nice weather period so got to enjoy the nature nearby.
