VILLA STEFANIJA small Boutique hotel&restaurant

Villa Štefanija in Barban, Croatia, is a perfect retreat. The cozy ambiance felt like a home away from home, and the owner’s kindness ensured a seamless stay. The infinity pool with panoramic Adriatic views was absolutely breathtaking. Highly recommended for a serene and relaxing getaway.

Actually, everything about Villa Stefanija was absolutly amazing. This place is truly special, offering simple but true luxury. Duška was such a wonderful host - we shall be forever grateful for your warm welcome. The staff are also so kind and did everything to make our stay unforgettable. Villa Stefanija is spotless and so well kept. Our room was small but truly beautiful, the bed was so comfortable with beautiful bedclothes. There were plently of towels, shampoo, conditioner, showering gel, body lotion etc in the bathroom. We also really appreciated the extra towels for the pool. Breakfast was a dream and we also enjoyed delicious food (thanks to the great cook) and drinks in the restaurant on three out of four evenings. The service was so friendly and just so wonderful. We wish to thank Duška and her staff for making our stay so special. We really appreciate what you did for us. We will definitely be back as soon as ever possible. Villa Stafanija is such a truly special and welcoming place. Wishing all of you wonderful people there very very best. We miss you.

Absolutly nothing. Villa Stefanija is just perfect in every way.

The location and the views were beautiful. We particularly appreciated the breakfast - it was very tasty, local and we even had fresh figs from the garden. The stay was quiet and peaceful - very often, we were the only ones swimming in the pool and sunbathing.

The bed. It was short (*we are taller) and the mattress was not comfortable as it was too hard. Even though the AC was working fine, for the summer months we would recommend a lighter cover.

It is a stunning location, with beautiful views. The owner & staff were all first class. They made us very welcome.

Friendly staff Excellent food. Lovely location

I was on my own and found it more remote than I liked You need a car

Everything the room, view and restaurant.

Check if wellness and spa facilities are offered before booking.

very warm hostess, charming little hotel and beautiful landscape, rich and tasty breakfast, incomparable peace: wonderful relaxation

The hotel is in nice and peaceful area at the end of a small village. View from the room was beautiful overlooking the sea. There is also forest and trail next to the hotel which was ideal for a walk with our dog. Unfortunately it was too cold (we were there in March) to use the pool, but it was nice and clean. Host was super friendly and always available.Breakfast was also delicious.We hope to return!

Romantic and pleasant boutique hotel with fairytale view, very kind and warm owner...

The location is excellent with a breathtaking view of the bay and the Kvarner from the infinity pool. But the best thing about Villa Stefanija is the team, no better service possible.

Can't think of anything but maybe my stay was too short and had I stayed longer I would have fonund somthing, But highly unlikely.

This beautiful Villa far exceeds its description. Exceptional location, elegant rooms and luxurious service. We were welcomed and made to feel part of the Villa Stephanija family.

This is a gorgeous property situated at the end of a narrow country road that leads to the most amazing panoramic view of the sea. We had a standard room which was small but coquette, with a small (shared) balcony that let us further enjoy the sea view from inside. Cleanliness is at very high level, everything was spotless, even the pool water was perfectly clean all the time. We loved the pool as we had it almost completely to ourselves, no cram, no noise and, my favorite, no children:), though I believe this was merely a coincidence. We had dinner at the property on 2 occasions and it was delicious!And last, but not at all least, the staff was incredible! Kind & friendly and out of their way to accommodate any of our needs. I must say, with no intention to create any jealousy, that my no. 1 was Bon!A lovely stay, thank you!

A teeny-weeny minus was the lack of variety on the breakfast menu. Although delicious, it was pretty much the same every morning.

Friendly helpful owner and staff do everything to make your stay perfect from start to finish.Exquisite location, perfect setting and views. Great breakfast and dinners. Lovely quiet pool area.

All good

some hotels have great views, some have a great breakfast, some even have super friendly staff. and some have picture perfect rooms. and a superduper diner too. travelled the world but never found all those things as perfect at this in one place! yes it is maybe a bit more expensive, then the average b&b, but it is more than worth your time and money. because it isn’t average. it is a place you will never ever forget. and they will do anything to make sure you have a great time with the required as good as you can make gluten-free food.

we had to leave :-(

The owner was a very gracious hostess. Our room was spacious with an incredible view. The dinner and 2 breakfasts were delicious! We liked the location, off the beaten trail but convenient to drive anywhere in Istria.

Quiet place on a special location. The host is soooo nice and kind. We loved the walking around, there is a great walking path taking you down to the spot where river Raša is entering the sea, the nature is breathtaking there.

Loved our room and large balcony with incredible views. Also enjoyed complimentary water and adult beverages.

Beautiful location, lovely comfortable room with a stunning view, friendly and helpful staff, and fabulous food!

We stayed 2 nights of season, the view from the villa is amazing and one of a kind, the hosts are welcoming and most kind, great breakfast, the room was designed tastefully, clean and well cared for.

First and foremost the view/setting is lovely. We booked one of the cheapest rooms which was still large - big bathroom, nice sized bedroom and a separate dressing area. Everything was of high quality, and the choice at breakfast was great. Everyone was really friendly and nothing was too much trouble. The dog was a particular highlight for us, too!

Everything was perfect
