Kalamota Beach House

The location and room were fantastic Staff were all extremely friendly, acommodating and helpful. We’d chosen to walk here from the ferry on the other side of the island, so the relaxed checkin with a small glass of local sparkling wine was very welcome and set the tone for our 2 nights here. We were able to check-in early which was very much appreciated. The room was spotlessly clean. The wow factor was that it overlooked the sea and we could hear the water at night - very relaxing. After reading other reviews we brought our own tea so that we could enjoy a cuppa before breakfast on our balcony. I loved the small touches to make our stay so enjoyable- our bed had been made, bin emptied and the floor mopped etc while were at breakfast. We used the hotel Kayaks to see the Blue Caves and lighthouse and swam in the little bay near the hotel. We also spent a day walking around the beautiful, peaceful island with its stunning views of the Adriatic from the pine tree forest and so much different wild flora to appreciate. Thoroughly recommend. Wish we’d stayed longer.

Kalamota Beach House is one of the most magical places I have ever stayed at - and I have been fortunate enough to travel a lot in Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia. The island really is a small Adriatic paradise - the area called Placet, above the famous blue cave, is one of the Most beautiful stretches of Mediterranean coastlines I have ever seen. The boutique hotel (10 rooms) is located in a tiny and magical village/port called Gornje Celo. There are maybe 20 houses and a small chapel, the hotel, and lovely sandy beach, a taverna serving amazing food and a bar. The rooms are beautifully appointed, the food is outstanding - as is the wine - and the service is wonderful. One person in particular made our stay even more unforgettable: delightful Sinisa. A lovely, lovely man who o hope to see again soon.

Such a lovely place to stay. Communication was great pre arrival, we were greeted from the ferry with the buggy to the other side of the island. Hotel is lovely, but it was the friendliness of the staff and level of service that made it such a special place to stay. If you want a relaxing holiday to swim and walk then the island is perfect, no cars, lovely sun sets.

The location is beautiful. The sea is safe and sandy. The hotel is on the waters edge. The staff are friendly, helpful and extremely hard working. The apartment was clean and comfortable and super quiet. The food is, in the main very good and executed well, especially the scallops and tuna. The lunchtime menu had simpler options which were welcome. Breakfast was really delicious, fresh fruit and excellent omelettes and perfect poached eggs. I love the intimate feel of this hotel and the laid back vibe with a touch of class. The private transfers by speed boat are a great start/end to the stay.

I think there might have been a mistake - I reserved a one-bedroom unit, and ended up with a two-bedroom unit, the largest room in the hotel. The views were glorious, and I had dinner on the balcony on the last day. The personnel were very friendly, from the front desk to the restaurant staff. Housekeeping even provided first aid for a bite (unknown) on my foot from a previous hotel stay.
