Details of the Villa

The stone balcony is of Baroque design giving the property a unique feel and it’s just a short stroll to the waterfront, in the heart of this energetic corner of Hvar island. Dating back to the 17th Century, the villa has recently been restored as a stunning five-bedroom home with breathtaking views, delightful terraced gardens and a large, private swimming pool. With 450 square metres of space over three floors, the interiors have been designed with elegance in mind, combining cultural beauty with contemporary and stylish features. The spacious living room offers comfort and warmth whilst glorious sea views can be enjoyed from the grand balcony. The beautiful kitchen will delight keen cooks or a private chef can be arranged to prepare a local feast to be served in the refined dining area. On summer evenings, you’ll no doubt be dining al-fresco surrounded by the Mediterranean fragrances of lavender and rosemary or sipping plavac, the local wine, in the outdoor lounge. The indoor swimming pool has glass windows that can be opened up during the summer months, allowing guests to enjoy the pool all year round. Each of the luxuriously appointed bedrooms has Wi-Fi, LCD televisions, and sumptuous furnishings plus gorgeous en-suite bathrooms. They are individual in size and character and maintain a sense of history despite their contemporary appearance. On the lower floor, you’ll find wellness facilities such as a sauna, fitness room, and Jacuzzi; the villa manager can arrange any service such as a personal masseur in your holiday home.

The villa itself, dating back to 1612, is protected as a historic monument and has an interesting history of owners over the last four hundred years. There are restaurants, bars, and shops within a short walk, and head to the summer markets to pick up some delicious local products to cook up a feast.

Hvar Town has some pebble beaches in the town such as the one by Hotel Amfora Grand. Within a short drive or boat trip, you can discover some stunning stretches of coast backed by pine forests with crystal clear waters such as Milna, Dubovica, and Pišcena, all within 10km.
