    Everything about apartment was even better than described and very comfortable Amazing hosts who couldn't do enough to make us feel at home ...... welcomed us with a beautiful food platter and home made liquers and even persuaded our daughters to try their home grown figs from right outside apartment. We spent a wonderful day on the water with Mak (as our daughters fondly named him) exploring Hvars coastline which was the highlight of our families stay on Hvar Would highly recommend this property and hope to return some day. Thanks for a wonderful time.

    We had the absolute best time staying at this property. The hosts were incredibly generous and so lovely. They greeted us at the port and helped with luggage, prepared a platter for our arrival and even got us a bottle when they found out we were celebrating a birthday! They truly went above and beyond for us and Dubravko even took us out on his boat on a day trip which we loved! The views here were also a highlight for us, every sunset we watched off the balcony was incredible. The house itself had everything we needed and we all agreed this was our favourite accommodation we have ever stayed in. If you are in Hvar you must stay here. The place is incredible but the hosts make it even better.

    Didn't realise it was quite so hilly there, lots of steep climbing but very manageable really. The street below has some loud traffic at times. There is nothing I could say to improve on the property, it is perfect!

    You could not wish for better hosts, they were extremely kind and beyond welcoming! Their home is stunning, full of stylish beautiful artefacts. Easy to walk to town though up and down steps. I just loved the sea and boat views from all 4 balconies, just wow! Also the gorgeous small garden featuring a fab fig tree and fireplace was so inviting too. Absolutely wonderful place to stay!! Oh and Hvar is stunning too!!

    Nothing at all

    Staying at Riviera House will definitely be a valuable and amazing experience to enjoy HVAR. Arguably the best hospitality of any inn in the world. The personalities of the owner couple far exceeded our expectations and raised our trip satisfaction to the highest level. We Japanese are picky about hospitality, but we learned a lot from this Croatian owner couple. Obviously we return to Riviera House next our trip to Hvar once again. The score is 20 out of 10!

    There was nothing wrong with this property. It was delightful and the hosts were lovely. However, the only thing I didn't like was the feeling I had looking out over the beautful sea views as I had my breakfast on the last morning.

    The hosts met us at the property and were so welcoming and delightful. After they left us they were in regular contact to make sure we had everything we needed. They provided us with lots of great advice and information. As for the property, it was fabulous. The sea views were amazing, you could happily sit there all day and watch the ever changing views. Then there were the beautiful sunsets. This is a great location and property to share with friends and family. I would highly recommend you go and see for yourself. I will return.

    Where do I start to rate Dubravko and Jadranka's apartment..... It is indescribable how nice and loving that we were received. The apartment is furnished with great style and it is very clean ! Everything has been thought of and it is also very large. In an incredibly beautiful location and really the most beautiful view with the most beautiful sunsets. We left this morning and already miss it.... When we left, we received very sweet gifts and I can only say that these are the most nice and sweet people to rent an apartment with! Nothing is too much to ask them. In addition, we had an unforgettable beautiful day on Dubravko's boat, where he showed us fantastic beautiful places. Many thanks Dubravko and Jadranka for the good care !

    Absolutely nothing to dislike. The only regret is that we didn't stay longer.

    Travelling as a family of five adults, Dubravko kindly met us when the ferry docked at quayside and took us on the five minute walk to the accommodation where his wife Jadranka had prepared us some delightful welcoming snacks and drinks. The house is impeccable and includes everything you could wish for. The views of the harbour from the balcony are stunning, particularly at sundown. We took the opportunity to accept Kapetan Dubravko's offer of a boat trip around the islands (reasonable additional fee) which included a delicious seafood lunch at Dubovica Bay (reasonable additional fee). During that trip, Dubravko ensured he engaged with all of his guests both collectively and on an individual basis. His love of his country, the sea, nature and people is apparent and he clearly gains satisfaction from seeing folk enjoy themselves. On the last day, Jadranka had prepared us some leaving gifts. She and Dubravko are the perfect hosts and provided us with excellent suggestions of places to go to. They made us feel like family. I'm missing them already. I wish I was a fisherman.

    Nothing apart from having to leave!

    Jadranka and Dubravko, the hosts are some of the best people on the planet, from booking to leaving they became like family. They took the time to find out about our group and purpose for travel and wowed us every step of the way. We were a group of 6 friends visiting for special birthdays, with 3 bedrooms ( all with a balcony and sea view) and 2 bathrooms, a fully fitted kitchen and stunning living, dining area with balcony and sea view it met our needs perfectly. We were met from the ferry, where Mak took us to their beautiful property with the best views where we enjoyed the refreshments they provided for us; the homemade drinks were amazing! They were always on hand to help with any questions and helped with dining recommendations,a memorable boat trip and even sourced and delivered some special drinks for us and to top it all were so kind bringing us special handmade local gifts when we left. The house is tastefully decorated and exceeded our expectations and more and was in a brilliant location for a trip to the harbour or town or for a dip in the crystal clear sea. We would all highly recommend the All about the Sea along with J&D and hope to return together or with our families.

    The only way to get the great views of the city and harbor are to hike up about a ~7 min walk from the port to the house. It's a little steep but nothing bad unless you have trouble with inclines. Dubravko met us at the port and helped with our bags so was easy to find our way. Plenty of nice restaurants near the house without having to go into the main area.

    Great location, spacious, amazing harbor views (the online pictures don't do the house justice), and the absolutely nicest hosts. Dubravko and his wife welcomed our family like their own, and added too many special touches to our trip to count including a lovely boat ride, welcome snacks & drinks, the kindest parting gift, and help getting in and also to our next destination. Location is a short walk to the center of town, but is away from the hustle and bustle which was very busy/crowded during peak season. Very spacious, great air conditioning and the house is equipped with everything, including laundry and detergent!

    We cannot think of anything that bothered us during our stay.

    We traveled as a group of 6 friends and could not have picked a better apartment to stay in Hvar. The owners, Dubravko and Jadranka, are the most wonderful and helpful people you’ll meet on the Island. We could ask them anything, they prepared a welcoming meal for us and even got us some drinks. The view of the apartment is simply stunning and the decoration of the interior was perfect for the summer setting in Hvar. It was a short 5-10min walk to the center of the town so even the location was a big plus.

    Very nice and helpful hosts and a great house.. We never felt so welcome before. For every question may occuring, if you need help or an recommendation Dubravko and Jadranka are here for you. Very comfortable and spacious house situated a bit out of the old town (some minutes) and quite near to the sea side. The view from the balconies is marvelous. (Seaside, sun set, harbour.) There are enough towels, even for the beach. We spent 11 days (4 adults and a baby) and they came in-between to change sheets and towels and even put on the washing machine for us. Living and dining room area is really big enough also if all rooms/beds are fully occupied. There's a griller in the backyard of the house and a beautiful fig tree. In front of the house there's private parking space. Kitchen was fully equipped. Wireless LAN was free and did well.

    Leaving!!!

    We LOVED everything about this apartment. The location was perfect (up a small hill 5 minute walk to the action but far away enough to really enjoy the incredible views of the sea and not hear noise from below). Everything was working perfectly and the bedrooms were large and each had access to a balcony and it's own air conditioning unit. The kitchen was updated and had the appliances and everything we needed to make meals. The best part of renting All About the Sea is Dubrovko and Jadranka. They took care of us 3 ladies as if we were close friends or their children and we will never forget how special they made our trip. There is nothing they could do to make us feel more welcome and it went beyond being hospitable with all the extra surprises. These are special and wonderful people and everyone should stay at their place. The best day of our entire trip to Croatia was the boat day with Dubrovko. It was the deal of the century to take his offer to rent the boat and him as a captain. We island hopped, went to a wine tasting and had the freshest most delicious seafood at this little restaurant on a beach. If we had stayed longer we would have opted for another boat day. THANK YOU J&D, the lady gang LOVES YOU VERY MUCH and we will be back one day and will send all our friends (but don't love them as much as us or we'll get jealous). xoxo

    Dubravko and Jadranka gave us the warmest welcome we have ever had, they even filled the fridge with a fresh salad, beers and home made schnaps. The house looks nice on the pictures but in real life it's a lot better than expected. To say the view is amazing is an understatement. It's a 5-min walk to the city center and the supermarket is around the corner. Even the best meal we had in Hvar was their recommendation. The overall experience is more like you are staying with an aunty and uncle than renting a house.
