Reviews and Ratings
The stay at Villa Giardino was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was greeted warmly with delicious homemade lemonade, setting a delightful tone for the entire visit. The ambiance is serene and inviting, perfect for relaxation after busy days exploring the nearby sea and restaurants. While the location is perfect for accessing local attractions, the dining experience really stands out with a gourmet breakfast that feels like a treat each morning. However, I worry that it might be too popular and fully booked on my next visit!
Staying at Villa Giardino was an enchanting experience. The hotel feels like a cozy haven tucked away from the bustling crowds, yet close enough to the beach and town amenities. The breakfast spread is truly impressive, and the fresh lemonade on arrival was a delightful touch. I wish there were dining options available at the hotel for lunch and dinner, as it would have added to the overall experience. However, the charm of the hotel, friendly staff, and the opportunity for relaxation far outweighed any minor issues.
Staying at Villa Giardino was an extraordinary experience overall, with memorable hospitality and delightful breakfast offerings. The serene atmosphere created a perfect backdrop for relaxation, although the slightly hilly walk to the center could be challenging for some. The gardens and unique historical ambience surely made it a special retreat in Bol.
My time at Villa Giardino was nothing short of magical. The hotel's serene and beautiful outdoor spaces made for a delightful atmosphere, especially during evening hours on the terrace. The breakfast is an experience in itself, with a wonderful variety that changes daily and all made fresh. However, while the proximity to central Bol is a plus, the walk back from the beach can be a bit tiring after a long day under the sun.
Villa Giardino offers a charming and historic atmosphere where you can unwind and feel right at home. The staff, particularly Nick and Aida, go above and beyond to provide a welcoming experience, making sure every detail is treated with care. On the downside, it can be rather disappointing if you arrive late, as we experienced an unfortunate situation upon our late arrival. Nevertheless, the beautiful grounds and serene setting make it hard to stay unhappy for long.
