Reviews
The food? My goodness. The best experience. The Host, Vasil, went out of his way all the time to make sure we had a great experience. He takes his time to explain the different dishes and makes recommendations. The ladies at the reception were so helpful and smiled through out the stress.
Summer 2024 was a blast.
The food was superb, both the open-buffet breakfast in the mornings, and the dinners by the pool. We had the seafood salad with octopus, squid, and calamari, and it's worth coming back for sure!
The staff members were all very kind and friendly. Our receptionist Vanesa was exceptionally helpful in all our inquiries regarding our stay and sightseeing.
Vila Belvedere is the perfect option to indulge in the Adriatic Sea and the Mediterranean sun, without having to pay a fortune.
Would absolutely recommend!
The area outside is an oasis with a pool, wonderful plants also covered a comfortable pergola where you can enjoy really tasteful food. Food is so good that we ate here every day during the two times we spent our holiday here.
Rooms are all with air-condition.
Also the breakfast-buffet offers a wide range with fruits, cakes, bread, cornflakes, different kind of eggs, coffee, juice and much more.
What's also a big point for the hotel is the top service! The staff is really friendly so that you can feel yourself familiar here. If you had issues they always helped directly and friendly. Special thanks to the ladies from the reception and to my personal highlight Vasil from the service team. It was a pleasure to meet you again this year!
I highly recommend Hotel Vila Belvedere!
Big room, nice bathroom, balcony with large table to enjoy evening sun. A lot of noise on the balcony from the highway, but only on the balcony.
Staff is super friendly and helpful.
The swimming pool is great, but be aware tourists are tourists.. they leave their towels without being at the pool.
Cleanliness is low; breadcrumbs and dead bugs on the tables, old chips on the carpet in the room.
Parking is fine, but small/low cars get scratched as there is a massive gap between the road and the entrance, so the front bumper will scratch the ground.
The breakfast is not super but you get fed.
