Owner's Profile
Owner Description
Year Purchased: 2007
As a retired airline employee I have had the privilege to travel the world and experience many different countries, peoples, cultures and sites. My first encounter with Croatia and the Croatian people came shortly after their war of independence and I fell in love with their new country and their nearly timeless culture. With the opportunity to purchase a beautiful home on a beautiful island looking out on the island filled Adriatic, how could I resist. My permanent home is in Atlanta and my subdivision there has more than twice the population of my Croatian village.
Why the Owner Chose Sveta Nedjelja
Croatians are a warm, welcoming people and a delight to know. Hvar is endlessly beautiful and filled with history and largely unspoiled by tourism. The local foods and wines are among the best in the world and by most standards, very affordable. What's not to love!
The Unique Benefits of this House
The view from the balcony is reason enough to become a life long resident. The blend of old Europe with the exuberance of a rapidly developing east European nation is exciting. Mix that with an inviting culture, natural beauty rivaling any place in the world, wonderful wines and olive oils, diving, boating, world class sailing, adventure sports, vibrant night life, and I find it difficult to imagine a more ideal home away from home.

Great place to relax. Best view ever. Cece was without a doubt the most hospitable person we have ever rented from. The information she gave us was invaluable and the apartment was clean and homey. You do need a car as this place is off the beaten path. Which is exactly what we wanted. You never have to leave the deck as the view is to kill for. I would come here again just for the star gazing. Buy all your goods before you arrive and you never have to leave again.
Recommended for:Families with teenagers, adventure seekers, romantic getaway, age 55+, sightseeing.

What a paradise! We had a lovely visit. The most peaceful and beautiful of the places I have visited-more spectacular than Greece! The rocky shore and the vistas are unparelled. The apartment is very comfortable and located close to everything in the village. We love Tamaris, of course. The wine isn't bad either!
