Book Skrivena Luka hotels

Amazing property perfect for a friends week away. Incredible views and everything you need right in one place.

Staff was wonderful

Lovely quite location. Comfortable hotel with decent food buffet. Parking a bit crazy, but usually found somewhere in road to park.

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!

This place is stunning and gives a wonderful homely vibe. It's clear how much love and care have been invested in both the place itself and the experience of the guests.Alex is a wonderful host who communicates really well and deeply cares about the experience as a whole.Cara is the sweetest place, with the supermarket a minute walk away and tiny lovely beaches about 40 minute walk. I was there with the dog every morning at 6am.We also went scuba diving 30 minutes away and had a great experience.Everyone around is friendly and happy to help. Korcula isn't far and we had a wonderful time there as well. The only reason for the 4 star is the lack of AC. We were unlucky to have a long heatwave and the fans and mobile ACs were nowhere near fighting it. Sleep was hard, as well as staying outside to enjoy beautiful view.We also struggled badly with the mosquitoes, who were very persistent.I'd say that outside of the peak heat times, the place is amazing.

Unfortunately, our experience with this property was very disappointing. After a long six-hour drive, we arrived to find the house in a condition that did not match the listing. There were visible cleanliness issues (including debris on the toilet and dust throughout), the shower was rusted and outdated, and a bedroom door couldn’t be closed—making it hard to sleep due to heat. We didn’t feel comfortable staying and had to leave the same evening, driving several more hours to find alternative accommodation.We communicated our concerns to the host right away. While she stated that issues could have been resolved if we had stayed, many of the problems (especially the condition of the facilities) were not quick fixes. We didn’t feel it was fair to be asked to wait around to have the basics corrected after arriving.The host eventually issued a partial refund, but it was less than 50% of what we paid. Vrbo reviewed the case and confirmed that we were eligible for a full refund based on the documentation provided. Unfortunately, the host declined to do so.I’m sharing this so future guests are aware. The photos of property are outdated so arrive with flexible expectations, especially regarding cleanliness and upkeep.
