A SELECTION OF IMPRESSIONS

Breathtaking ! We have just returned from a glorious week at Villa Ella. We are a family of 11 plus two babies. Anne Myriam was wonderful. She welcomed us when we arrived on the ferry and took us to the most beautiful villa with a breathtaking view. The quality of everything in the villa was above all our expectations. Everything about the villa was so thoughtful and personal. Anne Myriam was always available to help us. We loved the pool and the ping pong competitions. We hardly had to leave the villa because there is an outdoor kitchen where we barbecued. The quiet, family friendly beach is not far from the villa. But I do recommend hiring a car. Everything about the villa and the island is beautiful, calm and peaceful. We can’t wait to return.

We have had a wonderful time at Villa Ella – Myriam and the team were so helpful. They transported us from the bay to the villa and did a lovely barbecue one evening. The infinity pool is divine. The villa is lovely and well equipped. They will do a shop for you so good to order before you arrive as this is so helpful.
We look forward to coming back!

We loved our stay at Villa Orti! We had a group of 11, and the bedrooms, common areas, kitchen(s), and outdoor spaces were all perfect for our group. We also really appreciated the close proximity, as it was only a 7-8 minute walk down the hill to the Pile Gate into the old town. Everything was well done, and the team that greeted us upon arrival and took care of us during the stay were terrific.

This is a charming place, full of beauty and serenity. The old village stone house has been superbly renovated, with much care brought to the smallest details. Every domestic eish is fulfilled. Being on a small island in the middle of a fantastic „decor“ practically alone doesn’t mean that you are in complete isolation.
Thanks to the endless dedication of Ann Myriam and Petar, all our wishes are fulfilled: transfer by boat to the mainland, renting a car, availability of excellent fresh fish for dinner.
We want to express our gratitude and admiration for the attainability and organisational skills of our hosts.
It was an amazing experience!

We had the most amazing holiday in this beautiful house on the Island of Sipan. Ann Myriam, her family and colleagues could not have been more helpful
The house was incredible, spotless and well laid out. The vine covered terrace was beautiful and the large pool kept the kids (and adults) happy for hours!
Sipan itself is a picturesque island full of history, with clear water and a handful of excellent restaurants serving great seafood – and all very kid friendly. To top it off Dubrovnik is only 30 mins away by boat.
We can’t wait to go back.

We spent 14 blissful days at Villa Ella and did not want to leave. Such a gorgeous gem to find on the idyllic island of Sipan.
Hard to believe from landing in Dubrovnik, you are only 1 hour away from this hidden paradise. Everything we wanted was easily provided, and nothing too much trouble.
We are already dreaming of our return visit!

Il nous aurait fallu 10 jours pour profiter de tous les racoins de cette villa. Super séjour rempli de belles activites et des apéros, 1@9, piscine hors-pairs. Anka a été aux petits oignons. Merci @ Mark pour l’accueil tardif.

This villa is a dream place to stay in a dream destination! I holidayed here with my family and friends and we tried to take as much advantage of all of the facilities as possible, from the pool to the sauna, and the ‘cave’ to the amazing BBQ. You’ll get fit walking the stairs but the views of the city, it’s location, the privacy and separate bathrooms of each room will make it more than worth the while!
