Description

Over the past few years, Western Europeans have woken up to the idea that Croatia is not a country of civil strife and only packaged holiday-makers. So, here is our first guide to show the independent visitor to Croatia some truly special places to stay. Venetian and Habsburg villas transformed into boutique hotels and Communist-era hotels, renovated and injected with a new buzz. Some 200 hotels are listed, including guesthouses and villas on both the mainland and islands, plus 7 maps and over 400 colour photos. Agrotourism is big in Croatia so this guide so you can look forward to discovering smallholdings, vineyards and special places to stay on large working farms.
When compiling our guides we look for owners, homes and hotels that we like and we are fiercely subjective in our choices. "Special" for us is not about the number of creature comforts, but relates to many elements that make a place work. The way guests are treated comes as high on our list as the setting, the architecture and the food.
