Wine Hotel Cesarica

Stayed in this hotel for two nights during a Herzegovina wine tour with friends. Accomodation is decent but rather basic, super friendly and helpful staff, basic breakfast (did not have dinner). I can highly recommend visiting the family's nearby winery too! Of course they serve their wines at the hotel too.

The towels are warn, stained and tattered. They definitely need new towels.

This is a rustic hotel right in the center of all things medgugorie..location perfect..room vvv basic..no frills however it had very comfortable beds and duvets..rooms would need updating but again it was vvvvv clean...we stayed 2 nights and our room wasnt cleaned..we asked several times for it to be done..but it wasnt...had to ask at reception 2nd day for towels. Breakfast is a free for all...no structure...we had to sit with strangers...not good. Its a cold cut breakfast ie hams cheese etc with scramble eggs..done the job...would stay here again as the lady who owns it is really luvly and the welcome gift appreciated.

How this hotel merits 4 stars is beyond comprehension, it is on a par with a Travel Lodge or similar. No fridge, phone, balcony in the rooms, hardly any seating in the very small bar area. Poor choice of food at both dinner and breakfast. A few tables and chairs on the pavement. Apparently there is a roof terrace, but as I was only there for one night, I did not use it , or see any directions to it.
The attraction of this hotel is the churches and religious statues nearby, to which many Catholics make pilgrimages, but if you are not religious there is little to take you here.
I had a seriously dangerous experience here. On the landings there is a motion activated light, which is dim, and as you get further away from it, it becomes difficult to even see room numbers, and it soon goes out. When I left my room to go down, the lift was stuck on a lower floor. I searched for stairs and at first could not find them in the darkness. When I eventually did locate them it was stepping into pitch darkness, totally unlit. I had to feel my way down to the next floor, narrowly avoiding a fall, where there was some dim lighting. Why not a motion activated light here?
What you are not told, is that, on the wall, beside the sensor to which you present your card to unlock your door, there is a switch which activates further lighting. If you haven't been told, and can hardly see, how are you supposd to know? When I asked others in our party, none were aware.
My bed was comfortable, and the bathroom was fine, but I am pleased that I was only spending one night here.

It was a magical week enhanced by this lovely family hotel: amazing people.. Wonderful location, divine wine (i bought 3 Red Caberney).. Very very clean and sapcious room.. and mostly feels like home.
Medjugorieh next visit will surely be there.
Til very soon deareat Ivana

What an experience from booking and communicating to staying and feeling like family.
Ivana was very diligent in helping us when questions arose. We had a Mario waiting for us at the bus station and drove to the border to get out lost luggage. Nicoli greeted us our first night and spent time with us tasting/explaining wine from the family winery. Which was excellent. The room was clean and quiet. Breakfast was great and honestly felt like family. For our first time in Herzegovina, coming from the USA it was seamless( except for our luggage being delayed 2 days)! The location was excellent and walkable to the main church and services.

Upon leaving we went to split, Croatia and happened upon a wine cellar tasting. We actually got to meet Andreas the owner of the winery and hotel and felt so blessed to have had the encounter. When we go back to Medjugorje, we will not hesitate to go back to this hotel.

Thank you family Caserica!!!

Ivana, Nicoli, Nicolina, Matte, and Andreas!!! 🙏🙏🕊❤️
You all made our trip amazing!

This is a very new, clean and well-appointed hotel. Centrally located for a drive to Apparition Hill or a a very pleasant 10 minute walk to St. James Church. Rooms a bit overheated, and no chance to change the temperature, apart from opening the windows. TV reception is quite poor, but wifi is good. Halls are very dark. Breakfast is minimalist but decent fare. On site parking free but limited.

Medjugorje is obviously not a tourist destination, but if you are visiting for the right reasons (faith) Cesarica is hard to beat; this is the fourth time we visit Medjugorje and our third stay at this wonderful place, family-run by wonderful people. The location is excellent, some 250 yards away from where the main services are held, along a green and lit path (very helpful at night, as the Medjugorje nights are dark). It is neither a luxury hotel nor a spa (except for the soul) but its 4 stars are well-deserved; rooms are large and spotlessly clean, breakfast is very good and dinner is excellent -and abundant! It is home cooking, but very high quality -by far the best meals we've had in town (and quite a few other towns). To boot, the family runs the best cellar in the area -we're particularly fond of the red Blatinka premium- and at bargain prices! The staff is incredibly nice and helpful in all respects -they clearly form part of the spirit of Medjugorje! Their prices with half-pension (breakfast and dinner included) are a real bargain, especially considering their quality. Espresso machines ensure good coffee at any time, and the nice bar offers a good selection of beverages.

Awesome experience. Very friendly staff. Their wine is really good.

We liked everything. The food, the room and the hosts!

A very basic hotel with no frills. The room did not even have a telephone, fridge or kettle for tea / coffee. Dinner in the restaurent was also very basic, and so was the breakfast. The aircon could not be adjusted.

A comfortable and pleasant stay, special thanks to Emma, Martin, Brano and Nikola. The last time we visited, our room did not have a TV but this time, it was furnished with a TV with local channels and some English programming. Like the new buffet style presentation for dinner, very open and spacious, pity that the half carafe of house wine which was previously complimentary with dinner is now only available for order off a wine/drinks menu. This was one of the unique and memorable aspects of the wine hotel concept and experience. The array of dishes and culinary offerings for breakfast and dinner have expanded and are quite tasty, but are not varied as before since menu combinations are repeated throughout the week and desserts were limited. Wine is included with lunch, but dessert is not anymore. There was plentiful fare when large tour groups were inhouse, but this scaled down significantly when the groups left. On mornings, the tour groups devoured most of the breakfast items, exhausting the eggs and juice and leaving only bits of cheese and cold cuts of ham. On one night after the departure of the groups, dinner consisted of plain white rice and hamburger patties, without the customary soup/starter or dessert, which was a little on the dry side minus sauce or veggies. The atmosphere in Medjugorje is eerily quiet for winter and the pace considerably slower, perhaps the place is missing the animated laughter and conversation of former manager Dado Primoric.

For a 3 Starling hotel this súper. The staff is the best. They acommodate all your requests. The shortcut to the Church Isaura very convenient. The food is very Good. Family run hotel makes it very cozy

I was part of a group that went on a pilgrimage to Medjugore. We stayed at this hotel and it was just great! The family that owns the hotel were wonderful and the rooms were simple and clean. The mirrors in the bathrooms are set a little too high for people under 5'6''. The food was nutritious and delicious. I would stay here again on a future visit.

Lovely hotel in Medjugorje close to St. James Church, the Resurrection Jesus and the Stations of the Cross. Meals were very good and the people were most welcoming and helpful. Very clean and large, lovely rooms. Seems quite new. Close to everything.

Comfy and overall nice place with helpful staff.

Property located very close to the cathedral. Manager very friendly. Good wine.

This hotel has best staff in Medjugorje.They all are very nice and ready to accomodate your every wish

This is a fantastic little gem in Herzegovina, cosy, clean and well maintained. Our room was comfortable and tidy, I slept so well that I did not even miss the TV in the room. The views look out to neighbouring properties, fields and the nearby church, and the sunsets were spectacular. Our meals were delightful - freshly prepared and served with much care and attention, not to mention the hotel's own locally produced wines which accompanied lunch and dinner. All the sights are within easy reach, a short walk or taxi ride away. I would especially like to commend the professional and hospitable staff at this family-run property - Brano, Ivan and Ivana. Despite our tiring schedule, we could always look forward to their warm welcome, our hot and sumptuous meals, and our comfy beds to rest and relax. Fantastic.

Exceptional personal attention to our needs.
Restaurant food great & professional service.
Our room could have used more hanging for towels. Overall a big thumbs up and thank you to Wine Hotel Cesarica — highly recommendable. Would definitely stay again.
