Exhausted from work, we needed a quiet holiday. On the recommendation of friends we decided to give Croatia a chance. We certainly made the right decision. Hotel Saudade has 28 bedrooms and almost all face out onto the Adriatic Sea. The room was comfortable and clean with A/C, firm beds and decent towels. Breakfast was excellent and on a couple of days we opted for lunch which was lovely. This is one of the best hotels and eateries in Gradac. The staff are fluent in English and, when tested, very helpful, and always with a smile. The resort is small and two hours from Split airport. The beach is pebbles and we firmly recommend beach shoes.We spoke to some of the other guests and it seemed that all had stayed there before and needed to come again!
