Villa Fortuna

Our first-time visit to Mostar was an unforgettable experience. Staying in villa Fortuna made us feel at home away from home. Perfectly located, spotlessly clean and above all, run by wonderful people, it is definitely the place we can’t wait to go back to.

I arrived here late in the evening having travelled from Dubrovnik and despite a problem with their reservations system, thankfully the wonderful owner/manager could accommodate me, and I really enjoyed my stay. Very convenient location for the Old Town of Mostar, comfortable room, not too far to walk to the bus/train station. Also really quiet garden area which was nice to sit in for a while. Would absolutely stay again if visiting Mostar.

Two wings to this heritage hotel, a boutique main building with a new modern wing with apartments. Situated about 5 mins from the old town and the historic bridge, small car park compound and great modern breakfast room. My suite in the new building was huge, clean, modern facilities, small lift, and technology, great WiFi and very comfortable bed and pillow, though the sheet was not new, clean but had small holes in it. Despite closing windows and shutters the room was noisy and rubbish removal at 6am was immediately outside the front of the new building. Exterior door key didn't allow acces to the older wing so I was unable to comment on the gardens/facilities there Breakfast was lovely, plenty of choice on standard continental, breads, pastries, jams, cheese, meats, yoghurts, good choice of tea and coffee made for you.

We stayed here for only one night during our visit to Mostar, but it was a wonderful stay. The location was not right in the tourist area of the Old Bridge, but only a few minutes' walk away. And it was accessible by car (we had a rental) and offered parking for free. Our room was very comfortable, although with the split beds and comforters that I don't really like, but which are common in this part of the world. The hot water and water pressure were both outstanding; the shower was quite small but was workable. The service was very friendly as we were greeted upon arrival and every time we returned. They also arranged a private tour of the city for us with a local guide, which we quite enjoyed. Breakfast was included as part of our stay and was a typical continental spread. Overall we were very happy with our stay, felt that it was a great value, and would happily plan to stay here again during a future visit.

A little hard to find, but a very comfortable choice. The location is convenient, and it was great to have parking available. It’s nothing fancy, but the garden and the balcony are wonderful. Super to sit quietly watching the sun set and the seeing the lights come on.
