About this property

Secluded and Peaceful Retreat House on the Island of Hvar

Our beautiful house was built in 1903, by my grandfather. This house is a family house whose roots grow on love, tradition, and hard work. It is traditionally built from stones that were collected from our land. Every stone had to be specially carved to fit and molded together into the house. This house was renovated in 2020, with an intention to serve as a retreat to guests who respect nature, enjoy the beautiful views, and need some peaceful and meaningful time away. The house has a free parking area.

Our property features three completely separated apartments. This apartment is on the lowest level of our property and is secluded from the other apartments with its private entrance, private outdoor grill and private patio area that includes dining area, pool table and sunbeds. This area has a magical sea and village view and calls for beautiful and peaceful sunset views.

The apartment can accommodate four people, it is completely air-conditioned and features an equipped kitchen with a dishwasher, coffee maker, microwave, and a kettle. There is a seating area in the kitchen as well. The apartment includes 2 bedrooms that both have a bathroom with a walk-in shower. Towels and bed linen are provided, as well as all the toiletries that you might need.

It also has a direct path to our garden area where you can unwind, relax, and enjoy our property and the richness of our island. There is also a saltwater pool available for you where we provided more sunbeds and large patio umbrellas to allow you to rest in that area throughout the whole day. As you enjoy the pool area, you can also see the sunset and the sea and other islands. Our house is on the topmost part of the hill so you will also have a village view as well.

Our prices include all fees. No hidden fees.

The house is beautiful and is located in a very secluded town (which we liked). The owners were kind and courteous, checking in with us to ensure everything was ok. A few things to note, the property is divided into 2 units, with one bedroom accessible via steep stairs inside the main unit where the kitchen is located. The other bedroom is accessible just to the right as you exit the main unit. This is important if you have accessibility needs or are traveling with young children. There isn't really a common area to hang out except for the pool area. We made it work with pulling a few chairs around outside our unit. The pool and surrounding area was great, outfitted with a grill, sink and ice dispenser. We explored the town and walked to the top of the hill via a trail and found a restaurant (Alavia) with amazing views of the sea and Stari Gard. The restaurant in town was also amazing! If you appreciate history and quiet this place is for you. Hvar is only a 15-20 minute drive with great restaurants and beaches.

Host profile image
We are a family who owns a restaurant in Hvar and who decided to restore our beautiful family house and share it with you. We are outgoing and friendly & want you to experience Hvar at its best. Our family is large, and we like good people, food, wine, nature, sport, kids and pets!

We are also proud owners of a lovely seafood restaurant called Kod Kapetana. We offer only the freshest seafood and local vegetables. The restaurant is 55 years old, and we work only with local fisherman and farmers. We can organize a dinner for you here, or in the house! Just let us know if you are interested.

Why they chose this property

Our house is located in the eco-etno village of Velo Grablje. Velo Grablje has multiple trails and roads that you can enjoy during your stay. A few of the trails with take you to the most amazing views of our island and the coast. Velo Grablje is an Eco-Etno village traditionally know for lavender festivals and very lovely and friendly locals that will make your stay even more beautiful. Velo Grablje has around 10 residents, a post office, a church, and a lavender distillery right next to our house. This village was one of the largest producers of lavender in the 70's and was producing around 3% of the world's lavender. After three bushfires, the residents decided to rely more on the other products and give more attention to tourism so most of them moved to city of Hvar. Nowadays, there is more and more lavender being planted as the locals seek to relive their village and preserve tradition. There is a nice local restaurant only 15 minutes’ walk away. The area is known to be one of the biggest producers of lavenders. The village is also rich with herbs such as rosemary, oregano, immortelle and similar.

This house was renovated in 2020, with an intention to serve as a retreat to guests who respect nature, enjoy the beautiful views, and need some peaceful and meaningful time away.

Almost everything you find here is family owned or bought from people who shared special love for these items. My wife carved her love into decorating our house and making it feel like home away. My wife’s father was a Croatian singer Toma Bebic who criticized the urban life and talked about going back to nature and bettering our life harmony. As such, in this house you will find some beautiful items that her family owned and that have a special energy and meaning for us as a family. Let us know if there is anything you need, we wish you a peaceful and meaningful stay.
