Villa Lavender: cómodo apartamento de un dormitorio con vistas impresionantes

Our villa on Hvar island was built in the 1930’s by our grandparents, both of whom were born on the island. At that time the family was engaged in wine production and olive cultivation. However, beekeeping was the mainstay of the family’s livelihood for years. Our grandfather was a leading member of a number of beekeeping associations in Croatia over the years, at both the regional and national levels, and he wrote expert articles for the magazine „Bee“ which was issued in the former state.

When first built, the villa was actually on the outskirts of the village, but over the last 30+ years, since the village has expanded to the south, to it’s coastal section, we are now right in the middle – between the northern – old part and southern – new part of the village, owning the only property in the area set on such a large plot of land.

We are very much grateful to our grandparents for choosing this location on Hvar island to build their home, for we consider the location itself to be one of it’s main advantages. Today it is the first villa on the island with eco-friendly credentials as we are deeply committed to looking after Hvar's natural environment and at the same time offering our guests a comfortable eco-friendly base from which to enjoy the surroundings.

Apart from quite location, far from Hvar's hustle and bustle, amazing view can be enjoyed throughout Villa Perka.
Entire surrounding area has been fenced off with a stone wall. Just as you enter the gate you arrive at the parking lot with 5-6 parking spaces, shaded by old pine trees. On a plateau only a few stairs below there is a 160 square metre children’s playground equipped with a slide, two swings, ladders, trampoline and a seasaw. The pathway to the west leads to the outdoor common area – the highlight of the villa which boasts a 10×4 m swimming pool, a sundeck furnished with sun loungers, a porch with dining area and BBQ for preparing and enjoying meals right on the terrace surrounded by olive groves and lush Mediterranean vegetation.
Next to the pool there is also U-pick herb garden where our guests have 15 kinds of herbs to use for preparing tea or for cooking.
The entire space is super private with no neighbours overlooking the area, ideal for those wishing to relax and feel close to nature.
